A method for the determination of valproic acid (2-propylpentanoic acid) in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after pre-column derivatization is described. The derivatization of valproic acid with a fluorophore and UV label, 4-bromomethyl-7-methoxycoumarin, is performed in plasma diluted with an aqueous micellar system. No extraction or solvent evaporation steps are required. The mechanism of the derivatization of the carboxylic acid is based on phase-transfer catalysis. The sample preparation, including the derivatization step, is rapid and very simple. The proposed HPLC-method was evaluated and compared with a standard immunological assay used for the determination of valproic acid in plasma.

D008823 Micelles Particles consisting of aggregates of molecules held loosely together by secondary bonds. The surface of micelles are usually comprised of amphiphatic compounds that are oriented in a way that minimizes the energy of interaction between the micelle and its environment. Liquids that contain large numbers of suspended micelles are referred to as EMULSIONS. Micelle

D014635 Valproic Acid A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
