OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of lamotrigine (LTG), Phenobarbital (PBB), oxcarbazepine (OXC) and its active metabolite monohydroxycarbazepine (MHD) in human serum. METHODS: Serum samples were extracted with dichloromethane by liquid-liquid extraction, and then determined by RP-HPLC. Kromasil 100-C18 column was used with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (0.5% TFA and 14 mmol/L formic acid amine solution, 2 ∶ 1,V/V)-acetonitrile (76 ∶ 24, V/V) at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The column temperature was room temperature, and detection wavelength was set at 215 nm. RESULTS: The liner range of MHD, LTG, PBB and OXC were 0.40-80.35, 0.41-81.10, 0.45-90.00 and 0.39-78.80 μg/ml, respectively (all r>0.999 3, n=7). The extraction recovery was 54.09%-83.78%, and method recovery was 93.83%-113.25%. Both inter-day and intra-day RSDs were less than 13.51%. Other commonly used drugs didn’t affect the determination of component to be measured. CONCLUSIONS: The method is accurate, sensitive and specific, and spend less time. It can meet the demand of clinical drug monitoring.
