Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide is the primary, active metabolite in both urine and serum of carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder as well as trigeminal neuralgia. Potential toxicity of the epoxide metabolite requires regular therapeutic drug monitoring by LC or LC/MS for patients taking carbamazepine.

Carbamazepine (CBZ), an antiepileptic with narrow therapeutic window, is a substrate of CYP 3A which metabolizes CBZ to carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide (CBZE), an active metabolite. This study investigated the acute and chronic effects of Polygonum cuspidatum (PC), a resveratrol-rich nutraceutical, on the

The effect of efavirenz on the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine and vice versa was investigated in adult healthy subjects in a randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover, multiple-dose study. Subjects were randomized to receive either efavirenz 600 mg qd for 14 days or
The occurrence of fifty-five pharmaceuticals, hormones and metabolites in raw waters used for drinking water production and their removal through a drinking water treatment were studied. Thirty-five out of fifty-five drugs were detected in the raw water at the facility
Treated wastewater is being increasingly used for irrigation and aquifer replenishment through artificial recharge. However, wastewater reuse can result in contamination of exposed soil and groundwater by chemicals such as some pharmaceuticals and their metabolites. The fate of these molecules
