General description

Oxcarbazepine, marketed under the trade name Trileptal®, is an anticonvulsant developed and prescribed for treatment of epilepsy. In recent years, Oxcarbazepine has shown efficacy in treatment of mood disorders. This certified solution standard is suitable as starting material for the preparation of calibrators and controls in oxcarbazepine testing by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS.

Application


  • Quantitative analysis for therapeutic monitoring: Oxcarbazepine solution is utilized in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods for the quantitative analysis of drug levels in patients undergoing epilepsy treatment. This approach aids in therapeutic drug monitoring, ensuring drug efficacy and safety (Johnson-Davis and Thomas, 2024).

  • Advanced detection techniques: Research integrates Raman spectroscopy and convolutional neural networks for the detection of antiepileptic drug concentrations, including Oxcarbazepine. This technology enhances the precision of drug measurement, vital for managing and controlling seizures in neurological disorders (Fu et al., 2023).

  • Environmental impact studies: Studies on the degradation of Oxcarbazepine by bromate in water under sunlight irradiation provide critical data on the environmental behavior of this pharmaceutical. Understanding its environmental breakdown helps in assessing the ecological impact and designing better waste management strategies (Sun et al., 2023).
