Abstract
BACKGROUND Perampanel (PER) is an oral antiepileptic drug and its concomitant use with carbamazepine (CBZ) leads to decreased PER concentrations. However, the magnitude of its influence may vary, depending on the dynamics of the enzyme induction properties of CBZ. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model considering the dynamics of enzyme induction and evaluate the effect of CBZ on PER pharmacokinetics. METHODS We retrospectively collected data on patient background, laboratory tests, and prescribed drugs from electronic medical records. We developed 2 PPK models incorporating the effect of CBZ-mediated enzyme induction to describe time-concentration profiles of PER using the following different approaches: (1) treating the concomitant use of CBZ as a categorical covariate (empirical PPK model) and (2) incorporating the time-course of changes in the amount of enzyme by CBZ-mediated induction (semimechanistic PPK model). The bias and precision of the predictions were investigated by calculating the mean error, mean absolute error, and root mean squared error. RESULTS A total of 133 PER concentrations from 64 patients were available for PPK modelling. PPK analyses showed that the co-administration of CBZ increased the clearance of PER. Goodness-of-fit plots indicated a favorable description of the observed data and low bias. The mean error, mean absolute error, and root mean square error values based on the semimechanistic model were smaller than those obtained using the empirical PPK model for predicting PER concentrations in patients with CBZ. CONCLUSIONS We developed 2 PPK models to describe PER pharmacokinetics based on different approaches, using electronic medical record data. Our PPK models support the use of PER in clinical practice.

A simple and easy non-derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneous quantification of valproic acid, gabapentin, pregabalin, and vigabatrin in human plasma. J Sep Sci 2023; 46:e2200622.

Abstract
Immunoassays are currently not available in commercial kits for the quantification of valproic acid, vigabatrin, pregabalin, and gabapentin, which also cannot suffer the limitations of interferences of substances with similar structures. Chromatography is a good alternative to immunoassay. In this study, a simple and robust non-derivatization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of the above four drugs in human plasma was developed and validated for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. This method employed benzoic acid as the internal standard with hydrochloric acid for plasma acidification and ACN for precipitate protein. The supernatant was directly injected into gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for analysis. Good linearity was obtained with linear correlation coefficients of the four analytes of 0.9988-0.9996. Extraction recoveries of valproic acid, vigabatrin, pregabalin, and gabapentin were respectively in the ranges of 91.3%-94.5%, 90.0%-90.9%, 90.0%-92.1%, and 88.0%-92.2% with the relative standard deviation values less than 12.6%. Intra- and inter-batch precision and accuracy, and stability assays were all acceptable. Taken together, the novel method developed in this study provided easy plasma pretreatment, good extraction yield, and high chromatographic resolution, which has been successfully validated through the quantification of valproic acid in the plasma of 46 patients with epilepsy.

Abstract
This paper aims to establish a simple and easy HPLC system coupled with UV detector suitable for simultaneous determination of 24 antiepileptic drugs in human plasma. Optimized chromatographic separation was performed on a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus-C18 (4.6 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm) column with acetonitrile and 5 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate water solution as mobile phase. 24 antiepileptic drugs were divided into three groups and eluted with different gradient procedures, respectively. The column temperature was maintained at 35 °C and the detection wavelength was set at 210 nm. Plasma was processed with ethyl acetate or acetonitrile. The calibration curves of 24 antiepileptic drugs demonstrated good linearity within the test range (r > 0.996). The intra- and inter-batch precision and accuracy were all less than 15%, while extraction recoveries were in the range of 74.57%∼90.89% with the RSD values less than 15%. The validated methods have been successfully applied to determination of some antiepileptic drugs in rat or patient plasma. Those results indicated that the developed methods were simple and easy, and could be suitable for the determination of 24 antiepileptic drugs in plasma just by changing the gradient elution procedures of mobile phase.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22179582. [PMID: 34502487 PMCID: PMC8431452 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22179582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are an important group of drugs of several generations, ranging from the oldest phenobarbital (1912) to the most recent cenobamate (2019). Cannabidiol (CBD) is increasingly used to treat epilepsy. The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019 created new challenges in the effective treatment of epilepsy in COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this review is to present data from the last few years on drug–drug interactions among of AEDs, as well as AEDs with other drugs, nutrients and food. Literature data was collected mainly in PubMed, as well as google base. The most important pharmacokinetic parameters of the chosen 29 AEDs, mechanism of action and clinical application, as well as their biotransformation, are presented. We pay a special attention to the new potential interactions of the applied first-generation AEDs (carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and primidone), on decreased concentration of some medications (atazanavir and remdesivir), or their compositions (darunavir/cobicistat and lopinavir/ritonavir) used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. CBD interactions with AEDs are clearly defined. In addition, nutrients, as well as diet, cause changes in pharmacokinetics of some AEDs. The understanding of the pharmacokinetic interactions of the AEDs seems to be important in effective management of epilepsy.
