title: Determination of the anticonvulsant drug--dipropyl acetate (Epilim) in human plasma by gas chromatography.
abstract: A relatively simple gas chromatographic procedure is proposed for the analysis of the drug dipropylacetic acid in plasma. The compound is chromatographed, as the free acid after ether extraction. Prior to concentration of the solvent the acid is converted to its potassium salt, then regenerated to the free acid immediately before analysis.
