A fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of lidocaine and its active metabolite MEGX in 10 μL of plasma of neonates with seizures. The sample preparation consists of an easy protein
25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)D) deficiency is recently been described as one of the multiple factors responsible for pediatric seizures. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 are the well-known markers to determine Vitamin D status. In this work we report the development of a sensitive and
Pyridoxine dependent epilepsy is a condition where the affected infant or child has prolonged seizures (status epilepticus), which are nonresponsive to anticonvulsant therapy but can be treated with pharmacological doses of pyridoxine. If identified earlier and treated prophylactically with
BACKGROUND
Ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and methanol are widely available chemicals and are found in a variety of common household products including antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid and lubricants. Following ingestion of these glycols and methanol, patients frequently develop
The assessment of urinary α-aminoadipic semialdehyde (α-AASA) has become the diagnostic laboratory test for pyridoxine dependent seizures (PDS). α-AASA is in spontaneous equilibrium with its cyclic form Δ(1)-piperideine-6-carboxylate (P6C); a molecule with a heterocyclic ring structure. Ongoing
Lamotrigine (LTG) is a widely used anti-epileptic drug that is administered to avoid seizures and to maintain seizure-free status. However, several factors reportedly cause individual differences of plasma LTG levels, and the therapeutic target range of LTG varies between individuals. Brivaracetam (BVR) is a novel antiepileptic drug (AED), approved clinically for the treatment of partial onset seizures in adults and adolescents. It has some abuse potential and assigned to Schedule V category under the Controlled Substance Act by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Being an AED
BACKGROUND
Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiepileptic drug which has good safety and efficacy in neonatal seizure (NS), a common incident in neonates with weight <1500 g. The pharmacokinetics for LEV in neonatal populations is yet to be clearly understood. In this study, we developed and validated a
BACKGROUND
Gabapentin (GBP), pregabalin (PRG), and vigabatrin (VIG) are used for the prevention and treatment of epileptic seizures. The developed method was applied to samples from subjects participating in a pharmacokinetic study of GBP.
METHODS
Sample pretreatment consisted of adding 20 μL of
Canavan disease is an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy characterized by excessive excretion of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) in urine. The disease is caused by deficiency of aspartoacylase, the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of NAA into acetate and l-aspartate. Patients, who are often
A sensitive and specific method using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of levetiracetam (LEV) in plasma of neonates. A plasma aliquot of 50 microl was deproteinized by addition of 500 microl methanol which contained 5
There are increasing reports of methanol poisoning (MP) incidence worldwide. In Malaysia, the largest first methanol poisoning was reported in Selangor in 2013 with a total of 41 patients and cluster of cases been reported from the country since then. Often MP involved adulterated alcohol containing
Methodology is presented for the profiling of fentanyl in seized drugs using ultra high performance liquid chromatography in combination with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Target analysis was performed for 40 fentanyl processing impurities, several of which are markers for a specific
Brivaracetam is an antiepileptic drug used as an add-on therapy for partial-onset seizures in subjects aged 4 years and older. Due to potential drug interactions and intersubject variability in plasma concentrations, therapeutic monitoring for brivaracetam may be useful. The aim of 4-(Dimethylamino)- and 4-(methylamino)-3'-arylspiro[cyclohexane-1,1'(3'H)-isobenzofuran] derivatives were prepared as analogues of previously reported 3-arylspiro[isobenzofuran-1(3H),4'-piperidines]. Metalation of benzanilide with n-butyllithium, addition of 4-(dimethylamino)cyclohexanone, and
