title: Retention-property relationships of anticonvulsant drugs by biopartitioning micellar chromatography.
abstract: Epilepsy may be considered as a group of disorders with only one thing in common: the fact that recurrent anomalous electrochemical phenomena appear in the central nervous system. Different classes of drugs are included under the generic term of anticonvulsant drugs. All of them work by decreasing discharge propagation in different ways. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) is a mode of reversed-phase liquid chromatography, which can be used as an in vitro system to model the biopartitioning process of drugs when there are no active processes. In this paper, relationships between the BMC retention data of anticonvulsant drugs, their pharmacokinetics (oral absorption, protein binding, volume of distribution, clearance, and renal elimination) and their therapeutic parameters (therapeutic, toxic and comatose-fatal concentration, and LD50) are studied and the predictive ability of models is evaluated.
