    Abstract:
    Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures. Over the past several decades some new AEDs, including lamotrigine (LTG), levetiracetam (LVA), oxcarbazepine (OXC), topiramate (TOP), and zonisamide (ZNS), have become widely used. This chapter describes a very simple and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous quantitation of LVA, ZNS, LTG, TOP, and MHD in human serum. The method requires a very small amount of serum (50 μL) for multiple drug measurements and has a total analysis time of 4 min that makes it well suited for routine clinical analysis of several drugs simultaneously. The imprecision (CVs) measured at various concentrations across the analytical measurement range (AMR) are less than 7% for all analytes. The AMR for each analyte is as follows: LVA (1-100 μg/mL), ZNS (0.8-80 μg/mL), TOP (0.5-50 μg/mL), and 0.6-60 μg/mL for LTG and MHD.
