Does anybody know how immunoassays are used in medicinal chemistry?

I think you will find a host of information on Google

i wouldnt assume that immunoanalysis is possible in medicinal chemistry since immunoassay is in fact dependent on antigen-antibody reaction , and since most drugs are relatively small molecular weight with respect to antigen and not that complex in structure as antigen is so they have very low probability to react with antibody.They are haptens not antigens . if u could find a protein for each drug to bind with, it can react with antibody. That is what i think.

However, you are ignoring those drugs which are small proteins and not small molecules  and may act as antigens.

YOU CAN USE ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY OR FLOURESCENT IMMUNO ASSAY OR IMMUNOPRECIPTATION FOR DRUGS WHIC ARE SMALL PROTEINS OR PEPTIDES LIKE INSULIN.DRUGS AS HEPARIN FOR WHICH IMMUNE RESPONSE CAN BE TRIGGERED MAY BE ASSAYED BY ELISA , IF OR IP.

immunoassays work like this:
an antibody is attached to a assay plate a small amount of sample, like blood is placed into the plate and washed with distilled water then after a a color reaction procedure is next, a color reagaent is placed on the washed sample then washed again with distilled water if the color retains then the sample is positive,if not then it is negative....
medecinal chemistry?uhm i think what your trying to say is diagnostic chemistry not medecinal chemistry...
