    Abstract:
    A fully automated method for determination of the free and total concentration of drugs with a varying degree of protein binding is described. The antiepileptic drugs phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbitone were chosen to demonstrate the utility of this technique. The method was based on the ASTED system and combined on-line equilibrium dialysis at 37 degrees C with concentration of the dialysate on a trace enrichment column and HPLC determination with UV detection. The dialysis cell was a modification of the ASTED dialysis cell and 22% of the free concentration of the drugs were recovered in the recipient channel of the dialyser after 10 min of dialysis at 37 degrees C. The free concentration, the total concentration as well as the drugs protein binding could be determined. The method was shown to be well suited for routine monitoring of the free and the total concentrations of the drugs in plasma from epileptic patients.
