title: Specific adsorbents for affinity chromatography of benzodiazepine binding proteins.
abstract: The use of affinity chromatography as means of isolating/purifying proteins which have an affinity for benzodiazepine is described. Three such drugs are employed: chlorazepate, clonazepam and delorazepam. The results presented in this paper indicate that the proposed technique only works for chlorazepate and delorazepam. In fact these benzodiazepine-Sepharose derivatives are able to retain specifically proteins from human serum and rat kidney, lung, skeletal muscle and brain.
