A rapid isocratic high-pressure liquid chromatography procedure for the analysis of ethosuximide, phenobarbitone, phenytoin, and carbamazepine in serum is described. The method employs a single extraction from serum; alumina treatment of this extract eliminates interference from fast-eluting compounds, allowing rapid chromatography. A linear response is obtained for drug concentrations up to three times the upper limit of the therapeutic ranges. Within-batch and between-batch precisions for the means of these ranges varied from 2·2 to 5·5% and from 3·1 to 7·5%, respectively.

Abstract We describe a method for determination of serum acetaminophen concentrations in serum by reversed phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The homolog N-propionyl-p-aminophenol was used as an internal standard. The procedure, which requires only a single extraction with diethyl ether, can be optimized to be linear over the ranges of 10 to 100 or 1 to 20 mg/liter. Within-run CV was 1.2%; between-run CV was 4.4% and 4.9% at two different concentrations. Many commonly used drugs were tested and found not to interfere. The procedure is simple and rapid enough for use on an emergency basis in cases of overdosage, and can be optimized for measurement of either therapeutic or toxic concentrations.
