Abstract
OBJECTIVES An isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS)-based candidate reference measurement procedure (RMP) was developed and validated to accurately measure serum and plasma concentrations of carbamazepine. METHODS Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy was used to determine the absolute content of the reference material, ensuring its traceability to SI units. The separation of carbamazepine from potential interferences, whether known or unknown, was achieved using a C18 column. A protein precipitation protocol followed by a high dilution step was established for sample preparation. Assay validation and determination of measurement uncertainty were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), and the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). In order to demonstrate equivalence to the already existing RMP a method comparison study was performed. RESULTS The RMP was proven to be highly selective and specific with no evidence of a matrix effect, allowing for quantification of carbamazepine within the range of 0.800-18.0 μg/mL. Intermediate precision and repeatability (n=60 measurements) was found to be <1.6 % and <1.3 % over all concentration levels and independent from the matrix. The relative mean bias ranged from -0.1 to 0.6 % for native serum and from -0.3 to -0.1 % for Li-heparin plasma levels. The measurement uncertainties for single measurements and target value assignment were found to be <1.8 % and <1.3 %, respectively. Method comparison showed a good agreement between the Joint Committee of Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM) listed RMP and the candidate RMP resulting in a Passing-Bablok regression equation with a slope of 1.01 and an intercept of -0.01. The bias in the patient cohort was found to be 0.9 %. CONCLUSIONS We present a novel LC-MS/MS-based candidate RMP for carbamazepine in human serum and plasma which provides a traceable and reliable platform for the standardization of routine assays and evaluation of clinically relevant samples.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A reference measurement procedure (RMP) using isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated with the aim of accurately measuring carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide concentrations in human serum and plasma. METHODS To establish traceability to SI units, the absolute content of the reference material was determined using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) spectroscopy. As sample preparation a protein precipitation protocol followed by a high dilution step was established. Chromatographic separation from carbamazepine and potential metabolites was achieved using a C18 stationary phase. Selectivity, specificity, matrix effects, precision and accuracy, inter-laboratory equivalence, and uncertainty of measurement were evaluated based on guidelines from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the International Conference on Harmonization, and the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement. RESULTS The RMP demonstrated very good selectivity and specificity, showing no evidence of a matrix effect. This enabled accurate quantification of carbamazepine-epoxide in the concentration range of 0.0400-12.0 μg/mL. The intermediate precision was found to be less than 2.1 %, and the repeatability coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 % across all concentration levels. Regarding accuracy, the relative mean bias varied from 1.4 to 2.5 % for native serum levels and from 1.4 to 3.5 % for Li-heparin plasma levels. The measurement uncertainty for single measurements ranged from 1.6 to 2.1 %. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we introduce a new LC-MS/MS-based candidate RMP for accurately measuring carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide in human serum and plasma. This novel method offers a traceable and dependable platform, making it suitable for standardizing routine assays and assessing clinically relevant samples.

Abstract
Alternative blood sampling strategy can enhance the application of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), then improve precision therapy and medication compliance. In developing nations, alternative sampling strategy that allows self-sampling and room temperature transport is especially important. This study validates the use of dried blood spot (DBS) and dried plasma spot (DPS) sampling along with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for analyzing seven common antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) (phenytoin, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy carbamazepine) and evaluates their applicability to clinical practice. Following simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the AEDs were separated on a C18 column by gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water-0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 0.65 mL/min. The method provided linear analysis over the tested concentration ranges, with a total run time of 7 min. Intra- and inter-assay precision for all quality controls were ≤12% with accuracies of 85.9%-113%. The average extraction efficiencies were 69.0%-92.4% for DBS and 65.9%-96.5% for DPS, and no significant matrix effects were observed. The AEDs were stable in all samples for seven days at room temprature and 40°C. There was good correlation between the dry and wet plasma concentrations with greater accuracy for DPS compared to DBS indicating that alternative sampling strategy using DBS and DPS are suitable for monitoring the concentrations of AEDs with satisfied performance and logistical advantages.

Abstract
A new fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) based separation and enrichment method was developed for sensitive determination of two antiepileptic drug molecules, Levetiracetam (LEV) and Lamotrigine (LTG). The analysis of these drug molecules was performed with high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA) after FPSE. HPLC analysis was carried out by using phenyl hexyl column, under isocratic conditions with the mobile phase composed of pH 3.0 buffer-acetonitrile (77:23 v: v). All parameters affecting the separation and enrichment process were studied and optimized step by step. The linear working range of the developed method was calculated in the range of 10.0-1000.0 ng mL-1 for both the drug molecules (LEV and LTG). The limits of detection of the method (LODs) were calculated as 2.72 and 3.64 ng mL-1, respectively. The relative standard deviation (%RSD) values of the developed method as an indicator of precision were varied between 4.0 and 7.3. The accuracy of the optimized FPSE method was determined by the recovery tests utilizing spiked samples and results were assessed in the range from 94.6 to 106.3%. This is the first application of sol-gel Titania polycaprolactone-polydimethylsiloxane-polycaprolactone (Ti-PCAP-PDMS-PCAP) based FPSE membrane in the determination of antiepileptic drug molecules.

Abstract
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have narrow therapeutic ranges with large individual variability. Routine therapeutic drug monitoring of AEDs was useful for dose optimization, but the common immunoassays could not meet the detection requirements of AEDs, especially for new generation AEDs. The aim of this study was to validate an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneously quantification of 24 AEDs and their active metabolites in human plasma and comparison with a chemiluminescent immunoassay (Simens ADVIA Centaur). The method validation was performed according to FDA and EMEA guidelines. A one-step protein precipitation by acetonitrile followed a five-fold dilution was performed for sample pretreatment. A 5.2 min gradient separation by methanol and 10 mM ammonium acetate was used for separation at 0.6 mL/min under 45 °C. Both positive and negative electrospray ionization were used. Isotopic internal standard was used for all analytes. The inter-day (36 days) accuracy and precision of quality control samples were - 1.07-13.69% and < 6.70% for all analytes. The stability was acceptable for all analytes under routine storing conditions. A total of 436 valproic acid, 118 carbamazepine, and 65 phenobarbital samples were determined twice by each of the UHPLC-MS/MS and immunoassay. Evaluated by Bland-Altman plot, the mean overestimation of the immunoassay compared to UHPLC-MS/MS was 16.5% for valproic acid, 5.6% for carbamazepine, and 40.3% for phenobarbital.

Abstract
Oral anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is the preferred option for the clinical treatment of epilepsy. Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) has become an important means of individualized treatment of epilepsy. A sensitive, accurate and rapid LC-ESI-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 15 ASMs in human plasma (carbamazepine, gabapentin, prebaglin, phenytoin, zonisamide, oxcarbazepine, tiagabine, lamotrigine, topiramate, phenobarbital, lacosamide, primidone, 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbamazepine, ethosuximide, and levetiracetam). The sample preparation procedure was an one-step protein precipitation with methanol (MeOH). The mass detection was performed in ionization polarity switching mode (positive-negative-positive) using multiple reaction monitoring mode. A "boot-shaped" gradient elution program was applied to separate and concentrate those target analytes resulting in symmetrical peak shapes within 10 min, without endogenous interference. The method showed great linearity over their concentration ranges with acceptable correlation coefficients (0.9966~0.9996). The precision and accuracy values for intra- and inter-assays were within ±15%. Consequently, the method was successfully implemented on pediatric patients undergoing mono- or polytherapy for epilepsy and provided timely concentration results to ordering clinicians.

Abstract
In this research, a UHPLC–MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of zonisamide in dried plasma spots (DPS) and dried blood spots (DBS). Detection of zonisamide and internal standard, 1-(2,3-dichlorphenyl)piperazine, was carried out in ESI+ mode by monitoring two MRM transitions per analyte. Total run time, less than 2.5 min, was achieved using Acquity UPLC BEH Amide (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 µm particle size) column with mobile phase comprising acetonitrile–water (85:15%, v/v) with 0.075% formic acid. The flow rate was 0.225 mL/min, the column temperature was 30 °C and the injection volume was 3 µL. Desolvation temperature, desolvation gas flow rate, ion source temperature and cone gas flow rate were set by the IntelliStart software tool in combination with tuning. All of the Guthrie cards were scanned, and DPS/DBS areas were determined by the image processing tool. The influence of hematocrit values (20–60%) on accuracy and precision was evaluated to determine the range within which method for DBSs is free from Hct or dependency is within acceptable limits. The validated method was applied to the determination of zonisamide levels in DPS and DBS samples obtained from patients confirming its suitability for clinical application. Finally, the distribution of zonisamide into the red blood cells was estimated by correlating its DPS and DBS levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To minimize drug-related toxicity and monitor dosing regimens, an ultra-sensitive, simple and high-throughput analytical method for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required. METHODS A novel LC-MS/MS bioassay of levetiracetam (LEV), lamotrigi1/ne (LTG) and 10-hydroxycarbazepine (MHD) in human plasma was established. The analytes were separated on a Hypersil GOLDTM C18 column under a 2.5-min isocratic elution after one-step protein precipitation. MS detection was performed under ESI+ mode fitted with selected reaction monitoring. RESULTS The validated ranges were 0.1-20 μg/mL for LTG, 0.3-60 μg/mL for MHD and LEV. The intra- and inter-batches of precision and accuracy was within ±15%. The novel method met all other criteria. CONCLUSION This method can be used to monitor drug concentrations and decision-making in epileptic patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological conditions and antiepileptic drugs are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. High variation in pharmacokinetic profiles of several antiepileptic drugs highlights the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring to estimate pharmacokinetic properties and consequently individualize drug posology. In this work, a simple, rapid and robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for simultaneous quantification of carbamazepine and its metabolite carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, gabapentin, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine and its metabolite mono-hydroxy-derivative metabolite, phenytoin, topiramate, and valproic acid in human plasma for therapeutic drug monitoring. d

-valproic acid were used as internal standards. After addition of internal standards along with two-step protein precipitation and dilution sample preparation, plasma samples were analyzed on a C18 column using a gradient elution in 5 min without interference. The calibration curves were linear over a 100-fold concentration range, with determination coefficients (r

) greater than 0.99 for all analytes. The limit of quantification was 0.5 μg mL−1 (0.1 μg mL−1 for oxcarbazepine, 2 μg mL−1 for levetiracetam, and 10 μg mL−1 for valproic acid) with precision and accuracy ranging from 3% to 9% and from 94% to 112%, respectively. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy values were within 15% at low, medium and high quality control levels. No significant matrix effect was observed in the normal, hemolyzed, lipemic, and hyperbilirubin blood samples. This method was successfully used in the identification and quantitation of antiepileptic drugs in patients undergoing mono- or polytherapy for epilepsy.

Abstract
The term seizures includes a wide array of different disorders with variable etiology, which currently represent one of the most important classes of neurological illnesses. As a consequence, many different antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are currently available, exploiting different activity mechanisms and providing different levels of performance in terms of selectivity, safety, and efficacy. AEDs are currently among the psychoactive drugs most frequently involved in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) practices. Thus, the plasma levels of AEDs and their metabolites are monitored and correlated to administered doses, therapeutic efficacy, side effects, and toxic effects. As for any analytical endeavour, the quality of plasma concentration data is only as good as the analytical method allows. In this review, the main techniques and methods are described, suitable for the TDM of three AEDs belonging to the class of ion channel agents: ezogabine (or retigabine), lacosamide, and zonisamide. In addition to this analytical overview, data are provided, pertaining to two of the most important use cases for the TDM of antiepileptics: drug–drug interactions and neuroprotection activity studies. This review contains 146 references.

Aim: Since the MS/MS based detection of small-molecule drugs with poor or even no ion fragmentation is a challenge in bioanalysis, alternative MS/MS detection strategies were in focus of this study and applied in the field of forensic toxicology. Material & methods: Analyte quantification with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry of problematic drugs was studied by the application of dimer adduct formation and valproic acid (VPA) was used as a model drug. VPA adduct ions could be identified during infusion experiments and the VPA dimer adduct ion was optimized for the detection. Conclusion: Dimer adduct ion formation can be used as an effective way of VPA quantification in human serum. Further, the parallel detection of dimer adduct ions with other adduct ion types can be stated as advantage in LC-MS/MS analysis of problematic drugs.

Determination of serum carbamazepine and its metabolite by validated tandem mass spectrometric method and the effect of carbamazepine on various hematological and biochemical parameters. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 205:114299. [PMID: 34388672 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to develop a validated LC-MS / MS method for the measurement of carbamazepine and carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (CBZE) levels, to compare the carbamazepine concentrations measured by AbSciex API 3200 LC-MS/MS and Beckman Coulter Emit® 2000 immunoassay and to investigate the effect of carbamazepine concentrations on various hematological and biochemical parameters. METHODS For the measurement of carbamazepine and CBZE levels, a validated LC-MS / MS method was developed. Serum carbamazepine levels of patients were measured by AbSciex API 3200 LC-MS / MS and Beckman Coulter Emit® 2000 immunoassay. Biochemical, hematological parameters, and hormone levels were measured by Beckman-Coulter AU 5800 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, USA), Beckman Coulter LH 780 (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA), and Cobas 6000 (Roche Diagnostics, Germany) analyzers, respectively. RESULTS The imprecision values for all analytes were less than 7.0 %. The correlation coefficient between the methods was 0.981 (95 % confidence interval: 0.975 to 0.985). Linear regression analysis demonstrated highly significant associations of carbamazepine concentrations with albumin (B = -0.300, p = 0.040), calcium (B = -0.262, p = 0.004), phosphorus (B = -0.241, p = 0.022), WBC (B = -0.288, p = <0.001), PLT (B = -0.236, p = 0.003), RBC (B = -0.257, p = 0.001), NEU% (B = -0.289, p = <0.001), LYM% (B = -0.268, p = 0.001), D vitamini (B = -0.344, p = 0.006) levels. CONCLUSIONS A robust, rapid, and simple method has been developed. Our study revealed that carbamazepine and its metabolite have a significant correlation and likely impact on bone metabolism, blood cell counts, serum protein, albumin levels, and electrolyte concentrations.

Abstract
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in regulating neuronal excitability. Four structurally related drugs to GABA including pregabalin (PGB), gabapentin (GBP), vigabatrin (VGB), and baclofen are used for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. These drugs are small aliphatic molecules having neither fluorescent nor strong absorbance in the ultraviolet/visible region; therefore, direct determination of these analytes by optical methods is difficult. Additionally, their high boiling point makes gas chromatography impossible. Accordingly, the amine or acid moiety in these drugs is derivatized in order to improve their selectivity and sensitivity during determination in the biological samples. This review focuses on derivatization based methods and their different reactions for determination of PGB, GBP, VGB, and baclofen in the biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations reported between 1980 and 2020. High-performance liquid chromatography methods coupled with different detectors are a commonly used methods for determination of GABA analogs after derivatization. These methods cover 38.89% of all developed methods for determination of GABA analogs.

Abstract
Background:
Lamotrigine (LTG), topiramate (TPM), and oxcarbazepine (OXC) are
commonly used antiepileptic drugs. The bioactivity and toxicity of these drugs were related to their
blood concentrations which varied greatly among individuals and required to be monitored for dose
adjustment. However, the commercial method for monitoring of these drugs is not available in China.
Methods:
A UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of LTG, TPM, OXC, and OXC
active metabolite (10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbazepine, MHD) was developed and validated according
to the guidelines and applied in clinical practice.
Results:
he separation was achieved by using methanol and water (both contain 0.1% formic acid)
at 0.4 mL/min under gradient elution within 3 min. For all analytes, the isotope internal standard was
used; the selectivity was good without significant carry over; LTG and TPM were linear between
0.06 to 12 mg/L while OXC and MHD were linear between 0.03 to 6 mg/L, the upper limit could be
10-fold higher because 10-fold dilution with water did not affect the results; the intra-day and interday
bias and imprecision were -13.11% to 5.42% and < 13.32%; the internal standard normalized recovery
and matrix factor were 90.95% to 111.94% and 95.57% to 109.91%; and all analytes were
stable under tested conditions. LTG and OXC-D4 shared two ion pairs m/z 257.1 > 212.0 and 257.1 >
184.0, and m/z 257.1 > 240.0 was suggested for OXC-D4 quantitation. Lamotrigine and lamotrigine-
13C3 shared three ion pairs m/z 259.0 > 214.0, 259.0 > 168.0 and 259.0 > 159.0, and m/z 259.0 >
144.9 was suggested for LTG-13C3 quantitation. CBZ had a slight influence on OXC analysis only at
0.225 mg/L (bias, 20.24%) but did not affect MHD analysis. Optimization of chromatography conditions
was useful to avoid the influence of isobaric mass transitions on analysis. This method has been
successfully applied in 208 patients with epilepsy for dose adjustment.
Conclusions:
An accurate, robust, rapid, and simple method for simultaneous determination of LTG,
TPM, OXC, and MHD by UHPLC-MS/MS was developed, validated, and successfully applied in patients
with epilepsy for dose adjustment. The experiences during method development, validation,
and application might be helpful for other researchers.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disease that requires treatment with one or more medications. Due to the polypharmaceutical treatments, potential side effects, and drug-drug interactions associated with these medications, therapeutic drug monitoring is important. Therapeutic drug monitoring is typically performed in blood due to established clinical ranges. While blood provides the benefit of determining clinical ranges, urine requires a less invasive collection method, which is attractive for medication monitoring. As urine does not typically have established clinical ranges, it has not become a preferred specimen for monitoring medication adherence. Thus, large urine clinical data sets are rarely published, making method development that addresses reasonable concentration ranges difficult. An initial method developed and validated in-house utilized a universal analytical range of 50-5,000 ng/mL for all antiepileptic drugs and metabolites of interest in this work, namely carbamazepine, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, eslicarbazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, 4-hydroxyphenytoin, and topiramate. This upper limit of the analytical range was too low leading to a repeat rate of 11.59% due to concentrations >5,000 ng/mL. Therefore, a new, fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method with a run time under 4 minutes was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of the previously mentioned nine antiepileptic drugs and their metabolites. Urine samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction and analyzed using a Phenomenex Phenyl-Hexyl column with an Agilent 6460 LC-MS-MS instrument system. During method development and validation, the analytical range was optimized for each drug to reduce repeat analysis due to concentrations above the linear range and for carryover. This reduced the average daily repeat rate for antiepileptic testing from 11.59% to 4.82%. After validation, this method was used to test and analyze patient specimens over the course of approximately one year. The resulting concentration data were curated to eliminate specimens that could indicate an individual was noncompliant with their therapy (i.e., positive for illicit drugs) and yielded between 20 and 1,700 concentration points from the patient specimens, depending on the analyte. The resulting raw quantitative urine data set is presented as preliminary reference ranges to assist with interpreting urine drug concentrations for the nine aforementioned antiepileptic medications and metabolites.

Abstract
Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug for the treatment of psychiatric patients. In this study, a selective, straightforward, and rapid online heart-cutting liquid chromatography method was developed for the therapeutic drug monitoring of levetiracetam. This method allows for the determination of levetiracetam in human plasma without complex sample preparation. The mobile phases consisted of 30 mM aq. orthophosphoric acid solution/methanol (70:30) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min for the first system and 10 mM aq. orthophosphoric acid solution/methanol (55:45) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min for the second system. The first separation was carried out on a GL Sciences Intersil ODS-3 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 3 µm) and the second separation was carried out on a Restek Ultra PFPP column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 µm). The detection was carried out at 205 nm for both systems. The method was validated for selectivity and linearity, which were in the 6-60 µg/mL range. Intra- and interassay accuracies were <112.6%, and the intra- and interassay precisions were <6.4% for all quality control samples. The lower limit of quantitation was 6 µg/mL. The developed method was successfully applied for therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma samples from patients.

Abstract
The use of valproic acid (VPA), an antiepileptic drug, during pregnancy, is known to increase various fetal risks. Since VPA has been known to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs); its administration could alter gene transcription levels. However, in vivo effects of VPA administration on placental transporters have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to comprehensively evaluate the effects of single and repetitive VPA administration on the expression of placental transporters and analyze them by gestational day. We investigated 18 transporters (8 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and 10 solute carrier (SLC) transporters) in the placentas of pregnant rats that were orally administered 400 mg/kg/day VPA for one or four days, during mid- or late gestation. In the control rats, 4 ABC transporter genes (Abcb1a, 1b, Abcc2, Abcc4) were upregulated, 3 (Abcc3, Abcc5, Abcg2) downregulated through gestation, whereas 1 (Abcc1) was not changed. Regarding SLC transporters, 6 genes (Slc7a5, Slc16a3, Slc22a3, Slc22a4, Slco2b1, Slco4a1) were increased, 1 (Slc29a1) decreased through gestation, whereas 3 (Slc7a8, Slc22a5, Slco2a1) showed no significant change. Single VPA administration altered the expression of 9 transporters and repetitive administration, 13 transporters. In particular, VPA remarkably decreased Abcc4 and Slc22a4 in late gestation and increased Abcc5 during mid-gestation. Our findings indicated that VPA administration changed transporter expression levels in rat placenta, and suggested that sensitivity to VPA differs across gestational stages.

Abstract
Violence is a dreadful phenomenon spread throughout the world, resulting in unfortunate events that can ultimately cause death. It is known that some countries play a much worrying role in this scenario than others. Brazil is one of them. The present work has focused on identifying the use of cocaine in 105 postmortem cases arriving at the Institute of Legal Medicine of Sao Paulo (IML-SP), the largest Brazilian city. Both blood and hair samples have been analyzed through ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) in order to distinguish between recent or chronic cocaine use. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the proportion of cocaine use amongst violent individuals whose violence has ultimately led to their death. In order to do so, two previous methods, validated in-house, based on methanolic extraction for hair and protein precipitation for blood, have been used for this purpose and the final residue was analyzed through UPLC-ESI-MS/MS system. When looking at the demographics from the 105 postmortem cases analyzed, the results have shown the most critical age range to be between 18 and 25 years old and the least frequent between 37 and 45 years old. Gender wise, a rather extreme difference was found as 97 of the individuals were men and finally, considering the manner of death, the four-category criteria established appear to be fairly similar with 34 cases related to general violence and risk behavior, 26 to drug abuse suspicion, 23 to homicide resulting from opposition to police intervention and 22 to possible suicide.

Abstract
Background
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been used for the treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders since the late 19th century. There are currently several classes of AEDs available for epilepsy management, many of which are also used to treat migraines, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, and neuropathic pain. Because of their molecular and mechanistic diversity, as well as the potential for drug–drug interactions, AEDs are prescribed and monitored in a highly personalized manner.

This review provides a general overview of the use of AEDs with a focus on the role of therapeutic drug monitoring. Discussed topics include mechanisms of action, guidelines on the clinical applications of AEDs, clinical tests available for AED monitoring, and genetic factors known to affect AED efficacy.
Summary
Implementation of AED therapies is highly individualized, with many patient-specific factors considered for drug and dosage selection. Both therapeutic efficacy and target blood concentrations must be established for each patient to achieve seizure mitigation or cessation. The use of an AED with any additional drug, including other AEDs, requires an evaluation of potential drug–drug interactions. Furthermore, AEDs are commonly used for nonepilepsy indications, often in off-label administration to treat neurological or psychiatric disorders.

Determination of plasma Levetiracetam level by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) and its application in pharmacokinetics studies in neonates. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2018; 1085:13-20. [PMID: 29626789 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2018.03.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2017] [Revised: 03/05/2018] [Accepted: 03/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiepileptic drug which has good safety and efficacy in neonatal seizure (NS), a common incident in neonates with weight <1500 g. The pharmacokinetics for LEV in neonatal populations is yet to be clearly understood. In this study, we developed and validated a method for determination of LEV in plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the purpose of pharmacokinetic study. METHODS Plasma LEV was spiked with Lamivudine as internal standard before extraction by C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. Chromatography was performed using isocratic elution with mobile phase A: B (10: 90) for 2.0 min with flow rate 0.4 mL/min. The mobile phase was composed of 0.1% formic acid in 10.0 mM ammonium acetate (A) and 100% methanol (B). The injection volume was 1.0 μL and the total run time was 2.0 min. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with electro spray in positive mode was used. The mass transition for LEV was 171.2/126.0 and 230.0/112.0 for IS with retention time of 0.73 and 0.72 min, respectively. RESULTS A calibration curve range from 0.50-80.0 μg/mL was obtained with a correlation coefficient >0.99 in the quadratic model. Precision and accuracy was within the acceptable range and the intra- and inter-day %CV for three concentrations of QCs were <10%. CONCLUSION This method was reliable, accurate and applicable for LEV pharmacokinetic study in neonates with seizure.

Abstract
Abstract
An uncomplicated, sensitive liquid chromatography linked to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for evaluation of carbamazepine and carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (its metabolite) in human plasma, human saliva, rat plasma, and rabbit plasma was developed. Analyses were conducted on a Zorbax SB-C18, 100 mm × 3 mm ID, 3.5 μm column, at a column temperature of 40 ºC. The mobile phase was comprised of 0.1% formic acid in water and methanol in a 35 : 65 (v/v) ratio, with a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Lacosamide was utilized as internal standard. Under these chromatographic conditions, the retention times of lacosamide, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, and carbamazepine were 1.4 min, 1.6 min, and 2.2 min, respectively. The quantification of the analytes was performed using multiple reaction monitoring, with the use of a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with electrospray positive ionization. The monitored ions were m/z 194 derived from m/z 237 for carbamazepine, m/z 180 derived from m/z 253 for carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, and m/z 108 derived from m/z 251 for lacosamide. The samples were prepared by protein precipitation from 0.2 mL of plasma/saliva using 0.6 mL of internal standard solution in methanol. Calibration curves were constructed over the ranges 1.1–17.6 µg/mL and 0.23–5.47 µg/mL for carbamazepine and carbamazepine-epoxide, respectively. The coefficients of determination obtained by using a weighted (1/x) linear regression were greater than 0.994. The reported LC-MS/MS method was applied to preclinical pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiepileptic drug that is clinically effective in generalized and partial epilepsy syndromes. The use of this drug has been increasing in clinical practice and intra- or -interindividual variability has been exhibited for special population. For this reason, bioanalytical methods are required for drug monitoring in biological matrices. So this work presents a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (DLLME-GC-MS) for LEV quantification in human plasma. However, due to the matrix complexity a previous purification step is required. Unlike other pretreatment techniques presented in the literature, for the first time, a procedure employing ultrafiltration tubes Amicon® (10 kDa porous size) without organic solvent consumption was developed. GC-MS analyses were carried out using a linear temperature program, capillary fused silica column, and helium as the carrier gas. DLLME optimized parameters were type and volume of extraction and dispersing solvents, salt addition, and vortex agitation time. Under chosen parameters (extraction solvent: chloroform, 130 μL; dispersing solvent: isopropyl alcohol, 400 μL; no salt addition and no vortex agitation time), the method was completely validated and all parameters were in agreement with the literature recommendations. LEV was quantified in patient's plasma sample using less than 550 μL of organic solvent.

Abstract
A simple liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated according to the guidelines of the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for a simultaneous quantification of levetiracetam (LEV) and its metabolite, UCB L057 in the plasma of patients. A 0.050 mL plasma sample was prepared by a simple and direct protein precipitation with 0.450 mL acetonitrile (ACN) containing 1 µg/mL of internal standard (IS, diphenhydramine), then vortex mixed and centrifuged. A 0.100 mL of the clear supernatant was diluted with 0.400 mL water and well mixed. A 0.010 mL of the resultant solution was injected into an Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 (2.1 mm×100 mm, 3.5 µm) column with an isocratic elution at 0.5 mL/min using a mixture of 0.1% formic acid in water and ACN (40:60 v/v). Detection was performed using an AB Sciex API 3000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, equipped with a Turbo Ion Spray source, operating in a positive mode: LEV at transition 171.1>154.1, UCB L057 at 172.5>126.1, and IS at 256.3>167.3; with an assay run time of 2 minutes. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for both LEV and UCB L057 was validated at 0.5 µg/mL, while their lower limit of detection (LOD) was 0.25 µg/mL. The calibration curves were linear between 0.5 and 100 µg/mL for both analytes. The inaccuracy and imprecision of both intra-assay and inter-assay were less than 10%. Matrix effects were consistent between sources of plasma and the recoveries of all compounds were between 100% and 110%. Stability was established under various storage and processing conditions. The carryovers from both LEV and UCB L057 were less than 6% of the LLOQ and 0.13% of the IS. This assay method has been successfully applied to a population pharmacokinetic study of LEV in patients with epilepsy.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2014; 961:103-9.

Abstract
Zonisamide (ZNM) is an antiepileptic drug that is used as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of adults with partial seizures. An LC-MS/MS method for quantification of ZNM in human and rabbit plasma using (2)H4,(15)N-Zonisamide as an internal standard (IS) has been developed and validated. The drug and IS were extracted by ether and analyzed on Symmetry(®) C18 column. Quantitation was achieved using ESI-interface employing MRM mode. The method was validated over the concentration range of 0.5-50μg/mL and 0.5-30μg/mL (r(2)>0.99) in human and rabbit plasma samples, respectively. Intra- and inter-run precision of ZNM assay in human and rabbit plasma samples ranged from 0.8 to 8.5% with accuracy (bias) varied from -11.3 to 14.4% indicating good precision and accuracy. Stability of ZNM in human and rabbit plasma samples at various conditions showed that the drug was stable under the studied conditions. Analytical recoveries of ZNM and IS from spiked human and rabbit plasma samples were in the range of 70.8-77.3% and 85.6-110.4%, respectively. Matrix effect study showed a lack of matrix effect on mass ions of ZNM and IS. The developed method was successfully applied for a pharmacokinetic study by measuring ZNM in rabbit plasma samples. Moreover, the method is routinely utilized for TDM of ZNM.

Abstract
In the past twenty-one years, 17 new antiepileptic drugs have been approved for use in the United States and/or Europe. These drugs are clobazam, ezogabine (retigabine), eslicarbazepine acetate, felbamate, gabapentin, lacosamide, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, perampanel, pregabalin, rufinamide, stiripentol, tiagabine, topiramate, vigabatrin and zonisamide. Therapeutic drug monitoring is often used in the clinical dosing of the newer anti-epileptic drugs. The drugs with the best justifications for drug monitoring are lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, stiripentol, and zonisamide. Perampanel, stiripentol and tiagabine are strongly bound to serum proteins and are candidates for monitoring of the free drug fractions. Alternative specimens for therapeutic drug monitoring are saliva and dried blood spots. Therapeutic drug monitoring of the new antiepileptic drugs is discussed here for managing patients with epilepsy.
