Abstract: | Erythromycin (ERY), clarithromycin (CLA), roxithromycin (ROX), and azithromycin (AZI) are macrolide antibiotics widely used in livestock and human medicine. Therefore, they are frequently found as pollutants in environmental water. A method based on indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for group determination of these macrolides in foodstuffs, human biofluids, and water was developed. Carboxymethyloxime of clarithromycin (CMO–CLA) was synthesized and conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and gelatin to prepare immunogen and coating antigen with advantageous presentation of target epitopes, l-cladinose and d-desosamine, common for these analytes. Antibodies generated in rabbits were capable of recognizing ERY, CLA, and ROX as a group (100–150%), and AZI (12%) and did not cross-react with ERY degradants, which lack antibiotic activity. Assay displayed sensitivity of determination of 14-membered macrolides (IC50 = 0.13–0.2 ng/ml) and low limit of detection (LOD) that was achieved at 0.02 to 0.03 ng/ml. It allowed performing analysis of milk, muscle, eggs, bovine serum, water, human serum and urine, and avoiding matrix effect without special pretreatment using simple dilution with assay buffer. For 15-membered macrolide AZI, the corresponding characteristics were IC50 = 1.6 ng/ml and LOD = 0.14 ng/ml. The recoveries of veterinary and human medicine macrolides from corresponding matrices were validated and found to be satisfactory. |
