ABSTRACT:
An improved method for detecting peroxidatively active materials in a sample is provided, the method incorporating antimalarial drugs such as quinine, quinidine, chloroquine, primaquine, and quinacrine as modulating compounds. In a preferred embodiment, the method is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT), in which a fecal specimen is contacted with a chromogen and a hydroperoxide in the presence of a selected quinoline derivative. The method enables careful modulation of test sensitivity and specificity, and further provides an FOBT in which interference from dietary meat ingestion is substantially eliminated.
