A rapid, sensitive and accurate high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous quantitation of phenobarbitone, phenytoin, carbamazepine and carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide in saliva is described. Only small volumes of saliva (100 microliters) are required. Separation of the drugs is achieved by reversed-phase chromatography on a Nova-Pak C18 column, with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer at a flow-rate of 2.0 ml/min. Detection is effected by ultra-violet absorption at 215 nm. The total run time is under 12.5 min per assay. A precipitation but no extraction step is involved, simplifying the assay method. Salivary concentrations in the range 0.25-25 micrograms/ml for carbamazepine, 0.5-20 micrograms/ml for phenytoin and phenobarbitone and 0.4-20 micrograms/ml for carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide can be measured. Recovery varies from 94 to 108%. The method has been used for routine measurements of anticonvulsants in saliva collected daily from patients with intractable epilepsy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010634 Phenobarbital A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.

D010672 Phenytoin An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.

D002220 Carbamazepine A dibenzazepine that acts as a sodium channel blocker. It is used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor or focal SEIZURES. It may also be used in the management of BIPOLAR DISORDER, and has analgesic properties.
