Abstract: The invention provides derivatives of efavirenz and methods of making derivatives of efavirenz. The derivatives include immunogenic compounds for producing antibodies to efavirenz and labeled efavirenz tracers. These compounds are useful in immunoassay methods for determining efavirenz.

Abstract: Generally, the present invention relates to topiramate analogs that have substituents at the sulfamate group or at the 9-position or 10-position. The topiramate analogs can include immunogenic moieties that can be used to prepare anti-topiramate antibodies, or antigenic moieties that can be used in immunodiagnostic assays for topiramate. Also, the topiramate analog can include tracer moieties for detecting the presence or amount of the analog during an immunodiagnostic assay. Additionally, the topiramate analogs can be used in immunodiagnostic assays to compete with topiramate for binding with anti-topiramate antibodies.

Abstract: A non-isotopic immunoassay for an HIV protease inhibitor comprising incubating a sample containing the inhibitor with a receptor specific for the inhibitor or for a metabolite of said inhibitor and further with a conjugate comprising an analog of the inhibitor and a non-isotopic signal generating moiety. Signal generated as a result of binding of the inhibitor by the receptor is measured and correlated with the presence or amount of protease inhibitor in the original sample.

Abstract: Immunoassays for the detection of everolimus are provided. Compounds for producing antibodies for everolimus, as well as antibodies produced therefrom, are also provided.

Abstract: A method for quantifying an HIV protease inhibitor in a sample includes combining HIV protease, a conjugate comprising an HIV protease inhibitor analog, and a sample suspected of containing an HIV protease inhibitor. The HIV protease and the conjugate are capable of forming a detectable complex. The method also includes measuring the amount of the detectable complex, and relating the amount of the detectable complex to a concentration of the HIV protease inhibitor in the sample.

Abstract: A method of quantifying an HIV protease inhibitor in a biological sample includes combining HIV protease, a spectroscopic substrate for HIV protease, and a biological sample suspected of containing an HIV protease inhibitor to form an assay mixture. A spectroscopic property of the assay mixture may be measured and related to the concentration of the HIV protease inhibitor in the biological sample.
