Abstract:
Aim: This study aimed to develop and validate a GC-NPD method for quantifying topiramate (TPM) in capillary dried plasma spots (DPS).Materials & methods: Extraction involved three 6 mm DPS with albumin 0.1%, alkaline liquid extraction with tert-Butyl methyl ether and TMAH methylation. The method was validated and applied to 15 paired samples of capillary DPS and venous plasma from chemical dependency patients.Results: The method was linear from 1 to 50 μg/ml (r >0.99), precise (CV% 3.62-8.29%) accurate (98.1-107.7%). TPM stability was confirmed in DPS stored at 4, 23 and 45°C for 21 days. DPS TPM measurements were highly correlated plasma concentrations (rs = 0.96), representing on average 102% of the venous plasma measurements.Conclusion: The method was fully validated, demonstrating potential for clinical application.
