Validation of Microdialysis Sampling for Subcutaneous Extracellular Valproic Acid in Humans

Abstract: This article is the second in a series of studies aimed at monitoring valproic acid pharmacokinetics in patients with epilepsy by subcutaneous microdialysis. In the current study, a detailed investigation on healthy volunteers is made of the relationship between total concentrations in plasma, free concentrations in plasma, and dialysate concentrations. Particular emphasis is put on validating that the in vivo recovery under standard conditions (30 mm dialyzing membrane and 0.5 microl/minute perfusion rate) is… Show more

“…8,9 Subcutaneous tissue is an attractive sampling site for several reasons: 1. this tissue is relatively uniform, 2. the extracellular¯uid is in constant¯ux with the systemic circulation, and 3. the implantation of the probe in sc tissue is easy. 7 Despite these interesting characteristics, no data are reported in the literature regarding the use of sc microdialysis sampling to study the pharmacokinetics of drugs with a very high plasma protein binding in the awake freely moving rat.…”

“…The insertion of microdialysis probes was not perceived due to the use of local anaesthesia. Microdialysis probes can be inserted in the dermis without anaesthesia, and the discomfort is similar to what is perceived during ordinary blood sampling (5,14).…”

“…The technique has the advantage of being minimally invasive when applied to sampling in the skin, and it provides highly reproducible real-time chronological sampling with a short time resolution. The tolerability of microdialysis sampling is high, and pharmacokinetic studies of up to 3 days duration have been performed in patients (5). Microdialysis samples extracellular uid in the tissue in which the probe is placed, but excludes larger molecules and proteins from the sample.…”

“…Implantation of CMA20/10 probes in the abdominal skin area was performed as described in earlier reports (Lindberger et al, 1998; Graumlich et al, 2000; Mathy et al, 2001) and samples times were synchronized along with brain samples times. After implantation, the probes were perfused with Ringer’s solution for 40 min before either intravenous or unilateral nasal administration.…”
