Preparation and characterization of antisera and monoclonal antibodies to haloperidol.
For the first time a library, of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to the butyrophenone haloperidol (D-2 antagonist) has been prepared. Synthesis of a haloperidol derivative suitable for chemical coupling to a protein carrier via oxobutyric acid produced an immunogen which was used to develop two polyclonal antisera and twelve MoAbs specific for the hapten. Our library of MoAbs can be grouped into three classes; 1) high affinity and specificity for free 3H-haloperidol, 2) moderate affinity with significant cross-reactivity to other butyrophenone ligands, and 3) a group which binds poorly to free 3H-haloperidol but instead recognizes the ligand only when it is coupled to carrier protein. Clone (189(2)-6) was found to have the highest equilibrium binding affinity (Kd = 4 nM) and is far more specific than the currently available antisera to haloperidol. This MoAb has significantly lower affinity for all of the common metabolites of haloperidol. This capability makes 189(2)-6 a candidate for further development with regard to use in clinical radioimmuno-assays of therapeutic drug levels. In addition, one of the anti-haloperidol Moabs (190(2)-6) binds more tightly to spiperone than to haloperidol and displays a qualitative correlation in the rank order of neuroleptic binding affinity for a limited series of analogs when compared to membrane bound D-2 receptor binding.
