Valproate and lamotrigine was measured by HPLC | 2015 |
Effects of Antiepileptic Drug Monotherapy on One-Carbon metabolism and DNA Methylation in Patients with Epilepsy | The findings suggest that the effects of AED monotherapy on one-carbon metabolism may induce specific regions of DNA hypomethylation. Chromsystems HPLC was used for the determination of valproic acid and lamotrigine. | 2015 |
Carbamazepine Clearance and Seizure Stability During Pregnancy | Carbamazepine monotherapy may be a relatively safe and cost effective treatment option for women with focal epilepsy syndromes during pregnancy. Carbamazepine and ist epoxide was measured by the Chromsystems HPLC assay | 2014 |
Carbamazepine clearance and seizure stability during pregnancy. | Chromsystems HPLC used in clinical research | 2014 |
Midazolam Pharmacokinetics in Morbidly Obese Patients Following Semi-Simultaneous Oral and Intravenous Administration: A Comparison With Healthy Volunteers | In morbidly obese patients, systemic clearance of midazolam is unchanged, while oral bioavailability is increased. The MassTox Series A assay was used for midazolam | 2014 |
MODEL-BASED LAMOTRIGINE CLEARANCE CHANGES DURING PREGNANCY: CLINICAL IMPLICATION | An increase in changes in the oral clearence of lamotrigine may correspond to decreases in lamotrigine blood concentrations necessitating the need for more frequent dosage adjustments and closer monitoring in some pregnant women with epilepsy. Lamotrigine was measured by HPLC with an Chromsystems assay. | 2014 |
THERAPEUTIC DRUG MONITORING OF IMATINIB IN GIST PATIENTS | Feasibility Study for TDM of imatinib that was measured by HPLC. | 2014 |
Ziprasidone as adjunctive therapy in severe bipolar patients treated with clozapine | Aim of the study was to confirm the efficacy and tolerability of ziprasidone as adjunctive therapy in bipolar patients partially responding to clozapine or with persisting negative symptoms, overweight, or with metabolic syndrome. Clozapine and active metabolites were measured with an HPLC assay from Chromsystems | 2014 |
Assessment of Hepatic Detoxification Activity: Proposal of an Improved Variant of the (13)c-methacetin Breath Test | Levetiracetam was measured by a Chromsystems HPLC assay in this clinical study. | 2013 |
Potential Factors for Inadequate Voriconazole Plasma Concentrations in Intensive Care Unit Patients and Patients With Hematological Malignancies | In conclusion, potential factors like younger age, prophylaxis, underlying hematological malignancy, BMI, and concomitant PPI should be considered within the algorithm of voriconazole treatment.Voriconazole plasma concentrations were measured with an HPLC assay. | 2013 |
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Antiepileptic Drugs During Pregnancy | This pilot study demonstrates the utility of TDM of antiepileptic medications throughout pregnancy and highlights the use of LC-MS/MS in performing hese measures. Additionally, the multiplexed MRM assay used in the study allows for the analysis of several different AEDs in a single run adding efficiencies of staffing and instrument times in the process. |

Interpretation of tandem mass spectra of antiepileptic drugs using accurate-m/z data and m/z-shifts with stable-isotope labeled analogues | This review helps in strengthening our understanding of the small-molecule fragmentation in MS–MS. In the case of AEDs, the structure proposals for the product ions can not only be confirmed with accurate-m/z data from high-resolution MS instruments, but also by studying m/z-shifts of products ions of the stable-isotope labeled analogues, that are frequently used as internal standard. | 2020 |
Lack of concordance between EMIT assay and LC-MS/MS for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Mycophenolic Acid: Potential increased risk for graft rejection? | This study highlights a clinically relevant systematic overestimation of MPA concentration by EMIT, supporting the switch to LC–MS/MS techniques for TDM purpose.

Where clinical chemistry meets medicinal chemistry. Systematic analysis of physico-chemical properties predicts stability of common used drugs in gel separator serum tubes | For ease of handling and minimization of blood drawing times, the authors assume that tubes containing separator gel can be used for therapeutic drug monitoring of high hydrophilic drugs. In contrast lipophilic compounds showing logP higher than 3 and/or CF>20 should be critically considered and validated by extensive stability studies. Concentrations of selected drugs were measured with MassTox TDM Series A, AED parameter set. | 2019 |
