Automation of diphenylhydantoin and phenobarbital measurements using the ABA-100 with emit reagents. 1978

D T Miller, and A F Krieg, and L M Demers

1. The EMIT-AED procedures for phenobarbital and diphenylhydantoin have been adapted for use on the ABA-100. 2. A basic language computer program has been developed for data reduction and quality control. 3. Within-run and run-to-run coefficients of variations were, in general, less than 8% across the concentration range tested. 4. Performance data on agreement of duplicates and recovery from "spiked" samples were aceptable. 5. The automated procedure provides a two-thirds savings in reagents.

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.
