This is a fully automated system for determining six common antiepileptic drugs and two principal metabolites of carbamazepine in serum. It is based on "high-performance" liquid chromatography (HPLC), with column switching. TSKprecolumn BSA-ODS and TSKgel ODS-120A (both from Toyo Soda) were used as the precolumn and analytical column, respectively. The former contains octadecylsilyl resins treated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), and does not adsorb macromolecules such as serum proteins but retains small lipophilic molecules such as antiepileptic drugs. Serum samples are directly injected onto the precolumn. After washing out the serum proteins from the precolumn with sodium phosphate buffer, we switch the column connections to introduce the retained substances onto the analytical column and elute with a step-gradient of acetonitrile/sodium phosphate buffer. The high analytical recovery (95-102%) and the reproducibilities (CV less than 5% within-run) indicate that this system is suitable for use in theraputic drug monitoring in clinical laboratories.

D010472	Perchlorates	Compounds that contain the Cl(	Perchloric Acid Derivatives,Perchloric Acids,Acids, Perchloric
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.

D011786	Quality Control	A system for verifying and maintaining a desired level of quality in a product or process by careful planning, use of proper equipment, continued inspection, and corrective action as required.

D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
