Abstract
Implantable devices have been widely investigated to improve the treatment of multiple diseases. Even with low drug loadings, these devices can achieve effective delivery and increase patient compliance by minimizing potential side effects, consequently enhancing the quality of life of the patients. Moreover, multi-drug products are emerging in the pharmaceutical field, capable of treating more than one ailment concurrently. Therefore, a simple analytical method is essential for detecting and quantifying different analytes used in formulation development and evaluation. Here, we present, for the first time, an isocratic method for tizanidine hydrochloride (TZ) and lidocaine (LD) loaded into a subcutaneous implant, utilizing reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled with a UV detector. These implants have the potential to treat muscular spasticity while providing pain relief for several days after implantation. Chromatographic separation of the two drugs was accomplished using a C18 column, with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% TFA in water and MeOH in a 58 : 42 ratio, flowing at 0.7 ml min-1. The method exhibited specificity and robustness, providing accurate and precise results. It displayed linearity within the range of 0.79 to 100 μg ml-1, with an R2 value of 1 for the simultaneous analysis of TZ and LD. The developed method demonstrated selectivity, offering limits of detection and quantification of 0.16 and 0.49 μg ml-1 for TZ, and 0.30 and 0.93 μg ml-1 for LD, respectively. Furthermore, the solution containing both TZ and LD proved stable under various storage conditions. While this study applied the method to assess an implant device, it has broader applicability for analysing and quantifying the in vitro drug release of TZ and LD from diverse dosage forms in preclinical settings.

Abstract
Preparation of drug metabolites at the milligram scale is essential for determining the structure and toxicity of drug metabolites. However, their preparation using recombinant proteins and human liver microsomes (HLM) is often difficult because of technical and ethical issues. Reproducing human drug metabolism in food-derived microorganisms may be useful for overcoming these challenges. In this study, we identified an unknown metabolite of the anaesthetic drug lidocaine, which is metabolised by HLM. By screening for lidocaine metabolic activity in five types of foods (blue cheese, shiitake mushroom, natto, yoghurt, and dry yeast), we found that bacteria isolated from natto reproduced the lidocaine metabolic reaction that occurs in HLM. A fraction containing the unknown lidocaine metabolite was prepared through mass cultivation of a Bacillus subtilis standard strain, ethyl acetate extraction, open column chromatography, and HPLC purification. We identified the unknown metabolite as 3-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1-ethyl-2-methyl-4-imidazolidinone using NMR. Our results showed that food-derived microorganisms can produce large amounts of human drug metabolites via large-scale cultivation. Additionally, food microorganisms that can reproduce drug metabolism in humans can be used to examine drug metabolites at a low cost and without ethical issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A simple, highly specific, accurate and fast method by smartphone-based digital imaging was developed for estimating lidocaine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations. MATERIAL AND METHODS To obtain the images, a Galaxy A03 Core smartphone and an image acquisition device developed in the laboratory were used to control the incident factors in reproducibility of the measurements. The processing of the images was carried out with the Color Grab application. Finally, the absorbance values were calculated using the RGB intensity values of blank, standard, and sample solutions. The proposed method was compared with spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. RESULTS The reaction between copper and lidocaine hydrochloride was characterized, showing better results in an equimolar ratio and maintaining the pH of the solution above 11.5. The use of the device for the capture of digital images allowed to control those sensitive parameters for reproducibility so that the analytical measurements showed adequate precision and accuracy. Validation of the main parameters of the method showed compliance with acceptance criteria. The application of the method for the analysis of injectable samples achieved reliable results, which were statistically similar to other reference instrumental methods. CONCLUSION The proposed method presented figures of merit in relation to linearity, precision, selectivity, accuracy, and robustness; it was carried out by designing and manufacturing a device for capturing digital images on a smartphone, which were analyzed to obtain RGB intensity values. These data are finally used to calculate absorbance values of solutions. All these elements provide this work with innovative characteristics in the field of analysis for control of pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of lidocaine in skin and plasma of rats. The methods were established and validated assessing lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), linearity, intra and inter-day precision and accuracy, selectivity, recovery and matrix effect. Chromatography was done on a Gemini column embedded with C18 stationary phase (50 mm × 2.0 mm, 5 µm particle size), using a gradient with mobile phases consisting of 0.1% HCOOH in bidistilled water and 0.1% HCOOH in acetonitrile. The mass spectrometer worked with electrospray ionization in positive ion mode and selected reaction monitoring, using target ions m/z 235.10 for lidocaine and m/z 245.10 for lidocaine-d10, used as internal standard. RESULTS: The linearity of the method was in the ranges of lidocaine concentrations 10.0-200.0 ng/mL for skin homogenate (accuracy 94.1-105.5%; R2 ≥ 0.998) and 0.025-2 ng/mL for plasma (accuracy 96.2-104.8%; R2 ≥ 0.996). The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy determined on three quality control samples (20, 75 and 170 ng/mL for skin and 0.075, 0.4 and 1.5 ng/mL for plasma) were ≤4.2% and 103.8-108.2% for skin and ≤12.4% and 95.5-101.4% for plasma. The LLOQ was 10 ng/mL in skin homogenate and 0.025 ng/mL in plasma. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by measuring lidocaine in skin and plasma after exposure to medicated patches containing 5% lidocaine.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical combination of dexpanthenol (DPA), lidocaine hydrochloride (LIH) and mepyramine maleate (MAM) is used for their anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, anesthetic and antiseptic properties. The present study was aimed to develop and validate a new, first and rapid high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of DPA, LIH and MAM in the presence of their stress-induced degradation products in pharmaceutical gel/fluigel formulations. The chromatographic separation was performed on an Inertsil ODS-3 V, 250 × 4.6 mm (5 μm) column using a gradient mobile phase of an aqueous solution of ammonium acetate (0.01 M) and methanol mixture at gradient flow rates of 1.3 mL/min and 1.5 mL/min with detection at 230 nm. The retention times for DPA, LIH and MAM were ~3.28 min, 11.67 min and 12.99 min, respectively. The method was validated in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines. Calibration curves were linear in the ranges of 9-54 μg/mL for MAM and LIH and 30-180 μg/mL for DPA with satisfactory correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.999). The mean % recoveries obtained were found to be 99.9% for MAM, 100.3% for LIH and 99.3% for DPA. Precision % RSD was <2. Robustness results were uniform, there were no marked changes, so method is highly validated. All drugs were subjected to stress conditions and degradation products were separated with acceptable peak tailing (T ≤ 2) and good resolution (Rs > 2). The validated method therefore can be adapted for quality control procedures of the drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms and their stability studies.

Abstract
Herein, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has been utilized as an efficient sorbent in microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS). The combination of MEPS and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been used to develop a method for the extraction and determination of three local anesthetics (i.e. lidocaine, prilocaine, and ropivacaine) in human plasma and saliva samples. The results showed that the utilization of RGO in MEPS could minimize the matrix effect so that no interfering peaks at the retention times of the analytes or internal standard was observed. The high extraction efficiency of this method was approved by mean recoveries of 97.26-106.83% and 95.21-105.83% for the studied analytes in plasma and saliva samples, respectively. Intra- and inter-day accuracies and precisions for all analytes were in good accordance with the international regulations. The accuracy values (as percentage deviation from the nominal value) of the quality control samples were between -2.1 to 13.9 for lidocaine, -4.2 to 11.0 for prilocaine and between -4.5 to -2.4 for ropivacaine in plasma samples while the values were ranged from -4.6 to 1.6 for lidocaine, from -4.2 to 15.5 for prilocaine and from -3.3 to -2.3 for ropivacaine in human saliva samples. Lower and upper limit of quantification (LLOQ, ULOQ) were set at 5 and 2000 nmol L-1 for all of the studied drugs. The correlation coefficients values were ≥0.995. The limit of detection values were obtained 4 nmol L-1 for lidocaine and prilocaine, and 2 nmol L-1 for ropivacaine.

Abstract
Two sensitive, accurate, and precise spectrophotometric methods have been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of ofloxacin (OFX), clotrimazole (CLZ), and lignocaine hydrochloride (LGN) in their combined dosage form (ear drops) without prior separation. The derivative ratio spectra method (method 1) includes the measurement of OFX and CLZ at zero-crossing points (ZCPs) of each other obtained from the ratio derivative spectra using standard LGN as a divisor, whereas the measurement of LGN at the ZCP of CLZ is obtained from the ratio derivative spectra using standard OFX as a divisor. The double divisor-ratio derivative method (method 2) includes the measurement of each drug at its amplitude in the double divisor-ratio spectra obtained using a standard mixture of the other two drugs as the divisor. Both methods were found to be linear (correlation coefficients of >0.996) over the ranges of 3-15, 10-50, and 20-100 μg/mL for OFX, CLZ, and LGN, respectively; precise (RSD of <2%); and accurate (recovery of >98%) for the estimation of each drug. The developed methods were successfully applied for the estimation of these drugs in a marketed ear-drop formulation. Excipients and other ingredients did not interfere with the estimation of these drugs. Both methods were statistically compared using the t-test.

Abstract
UV imaging is capable of providing spatially and temporally resolved absorbance measurements, which is highly beneficial in drug diffusion, dissolution and release testing studies. For optimal planning and design of experiments, knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of the imaging system is required. The aim of this study was to characterize the performance of two commercially available UV imaging systems, the D100 and SDI. Lidocaine crystals, lidocaine containing solutions, and gels were applied in the practical assessment of the UV imaging systems. Dissolution of lidocaine from single crystals into phosphate buffer and 0.5% (w/v) agarose hydrogel at pH 7.4 was investigated to shed light on the importance of density gradients under dissolution conditions in the absence of convective flow. In addition, the resolution of the UV imaging systems was assessed by the use of grids. Resolution was found to be better in the vertical direction than the horizontal direction, consistent with the illumination geometry. The collimating lens in the SDI imaging system was shown to provide more uniform light intensity across the UV imaging area and resulted in better resolution as compared to the D100 imaging system (a system without a lens). Under optimal conditions, the resolution was determined to be 12.5 and 16.7 line pairs per mm (lp/mm) corresponding to line widths of 40μm and 30μm in the horizontal and vertical direction, respectively. Overall, the performance of the UV imaging systems was shown mainly to depend on collimation of light, the light path, the positioning of the object relative to the line of 100μm fibres which forms the light source, and the distance of the object from the sensor surface.

Abstract
Simultaneous determination of mixtures of lidocaine hydrochloride (LH), flucortolone pivalate (FCP), in presence of chlorquinaldol (CQ) without prior separation steps was applied using either successive or progressive resolution techniques. According to the concentration of CQ the extent of overlapping changed so it can be eliminated from the mixture to get the binary mixture of LH and FCP using ratio subtraction method for partially overlapped spectra or constant value via amplitude difference followed by ratio subtraction or constant center followed by spectrum subtraction spectrum subtraction for severely overlapped spectra. Successive ratio subtraction was coupled with extended ratio subtraction, constant multiplication, derivative subtraction coupled constant multiplication, and spectrum subtraction can be applied for the analysis of partially overlapped spectra. On the other hand severely overlapped spectra can be analyzed by constant center and the novel methods namely differential dual wavelength (D(1) DWL) for CQ, ratio difference and differential derivative ratio (D(1) DR) for FCP, while LH was determined by applying constant value via amplitude difference followed by successive ratio subtraction, and successive derivative subtraction. The spectra of the cited drugs can be resolved and their concentrations are determined progressively from the same ratio spectrum using amplitude modulation method. The specificity of the developed methods was investigated by analyzing laboratory prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing the cited drugs with no interference from additives. The proposed methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines. The obtained results were statistically compared with those of the official or reported methods; using student t-test, F-test, and one way ANOVA, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision.

Abstract
A novel spectrophotometric technique was developed for the simultaneous determination of ternary mixtures, without prior separation steps. This technique was called successive spectrophotometric resolution technique. The technique was based on either the successive ratio subtraction or successive derivative subtraction. The mathematical explanation of the procedure was illustrated. In order to evaluate the applicability of the methods a model data as well as an experimental data were tested. The results from experimental data related to the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of lidocaine hydrochloride (LH), calcium dobesilate (CD) and dexamethasone acetate (DA); in the presence of hydroquinone (HQ), the degradation product of calcium dobesilate were discussed. The proposed drugs were determined at their maxima 202 nm, 305 nm, 239 nm and 225 nm for LH, CD, DA and HQ respectively; by successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication method to obtain the zero order absorption spectra, while by applying successive derivative subtraction they were determined at their first derivative spectra at 210 nm for LH, 320 nm or P(292-320) for CD, 256 nm or P(225-252) for DA and P(220-233) for HQ respectively. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 2-20 μg/mL for both LH and DA, 6-50 μg/mL for CD, and 3-40 μg/mL for HQ. The proposed methods were checked using laboratory-prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation containing the cited drugs with no interference from other dosage form additives. The proposed methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines.

Abstract
New chemometric approaches based on the application of partial least squares (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR) algorithms with fractional wavelet transform (FWT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) are proposed for the spectrophotometric multicomponent determination of thiamine hydrochloride (B1), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), and lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) in ampules without any separation step. In this study PLS and PCR techniques were applied to the raw spectral data, FWT-coefficients, and FWT-CWT-coefficients. These calibration models were labeled as Raw-PLS and Raw-PCR, FWT-PLS and FWT-PCR, and FWT-CWT-PLS and FWT-CWT-PCR, respectively. A new ultra-performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method was developed for the comparison of the results obtained by applying the chemometric calibration methods. Chromatographic separation and determination of B1, B6, and LID in ampules were performed on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50x2.1 mm id, 1.7 pm particle size) using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.01 M HCI at a constant flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. These combined chemometric calibrations and UPLC were validated by analyzing various ternary mixtures, B1, B6, and LID. The proposed chemometric approaches (signal processing-multivariate calibrations) and UPLC method were applied to the quantitative multicomponent analysis of marketed ampules containing the vitamins B1 and B6 with LID.

Abstract
An HPLC method with amperometric detection was developed for analysis of two local anesthetics (lidocaine and benzocaine) in products for delaying ejaculation illegally marketed in Polish sex shops. Chromatographic elution on an RP column C18 with mobile phase composed of acetate buffer with acetonitrile, provides an optimal separation not only of active substances but also electroactive preservatives which are occasionally added to cosmetic creams (methylparaben and propylparaben). Application of glassy carbon electrode as a working electrode and a procedure with pulsed potential waveforms enables a sensitive, accurate measurement within a relatively short analysis time (250 s). This method has been successfully employed for the determination of local anesthetics in products under investigation. The obtained results show that most samples contained therapeutic concentrations of lidocaine or benzocaine. According to European law, a sale of products containing lidocaine or benzocaine outside the pharmacy sector is forbidden.

Abstract
PURPOSE Some of the pharmaceuticals that are not extensively investigated in the aquatic environment are the anesthetic lidocaine (LDC), the analgesic tramadol (TRA), and the antidepressant venlafaxine (VEN). LDC metabolizes to 2,6-xylidine (2,6-DMA) and monoethylglycinexylidine (MEGX), TRA to O-desmethyltramadol (ODT), and VEN to O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV). Within this study, the distribution and behavior of these compounds in German wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were investigated. METHODS Samples of influents and effluents from WWTPs in Hesse, Germany were collected between January and September 2010. Analytes were extracted from wastewater samples by solid-phase extraction and from solid samples by sonication. Extracts were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. RESULTS LDC, TRA, VEN, ODT, and ODV were detected in all analyzed influent and effluent samples. 2,6-DMA could not be identified. MEGX was not detected. TRA and ODV were present in untreated wastewater at the highest concentrations (max, 1,129 (TRA) and 3,302 ng L⁻¹ (ODV)), while the concentrations of LDC and VEN were all significantly lower (mean, 135 (LDC) and 116 ng L⁻¹ (VEN)). All of the analytes were only partially removed in the WWTPs. The mean ratios between the concentrations of the metabolites and their respective parent compounds in influents were 4.7 (ODV/VEN) and 0.7 (ODT/TRA). These values remain approximately constant comparing influents and effluents. CONCLUSIONS LDC, TRA, VEN, ODT, and ODV are only partially removed from sewage water by WWTPs and thus are continuously discharged in respective recipient rivers. A further transformation of TRA and VEN into the known metabolites during treatment in the WWTPs is not observed.

Abstract
A micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) method using a C18 column was developed to determine three antiarrhythmic drugs--disopyramide, lidocaine, and quinidine--that are most usually monitored in serum samples. After the application of an interpretative strategy for optimization of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and modifier concentrations in order to ensure the minimum analysis time, maximum sensitivity, and good resolution, the optimum chromatographic conditions for the determination of the three antiarrhythmics were flow rate, 1 mL/min; injection volume, 20 microL; separation temperature, 25 degrees C; mobile phase, 150 mmol/L SDS-7% (v/v) butanol-phosphate buffer, 10 mmol/L, pH 7-0.9% (w/v) NaCl; and detection at 214 nm. The calibration curves for the drugs were linear (r2 > 0.999). The intraday and interday precisions were lower than 3.9% (CV). Recoveries were 100 +/- 0.6% when the method was applied to both serum samples spiked with the antiarrhythmics (n = 10) and real serum samples. In all cases, the results were similar to those obtained using the reference method (fluorescence polarization immunoassay) usually used in the Spanish hospital. The proposed method is useful for hospital monitoring of the antiarrhythmics by direct injection into the chromatograph.

Abstract
An RP-HPLC method has been optimized and validated for the simultaneous determination of hydrocortisone acetate and of lidocaine in suppositories. For the method optimization, response surface methodology was applied, and the obtained model was tested using analysis of variance. The optimal separations were conducted on a Beckman-Coulter 150 x 4.6 mm, 5 microm particle-size column at 20 degrees C. The mobile phase was methanol-water (65 + 35, v/v), pH adjusted to 2.5 with 85% orthophosphoric acid, with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. UV detection was performed at 250 nm. Phenobarbital was used as an internal standard. The method was validated for selectivity, linearity, precision, and robustness.

Abstract
The ability to accurately and noninvasively analyze illicit drugs is important for criminal investigations and prosecution. Current methods involve significant sample pretreatment and most are destructive. The goal of this work is to develop a method based on Raman spectroscopy to classify simulated street drug mixtures composed of one drug component and up to three cutting agents including those routinely found in confiscated illicit street drug mixtures. Spectra were collected on both a homebuilt instrument using a HeNe laser and on a handheld commercial instrument with a 785 nm light source. Mixtures were prepared with drug concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 percent. Optimal preprocessing for the data set included truncating, Savitzky-Golay smoothing, normalization, differentiating, and mean centering. Using principal component analysis (PCA), it was possible to resolve the spectral differences between benzocaine, lidocaine, isoxsuprine, and norephedrine and correctly classify them 100 percent of the time.

Abstract
A method for the simultaneous determination of prilocaine and lidocaine in vitro percutaneous absorption liquid using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been developed. Ropivacaine served as the internal standard. The sample was alkalified with sodium hydroxide and a single-step liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Selected ion monitoring (SIM) method was applied for the detection. Using the method to determine prilocaine and lidocaine in the rapid transdermal study. Prilocaine and lidocaine have good linear relationships in the concentration of 0.016 - 50.0 mg/L. The recoveries of prilocaine and lidocaine ranged from 85.3% to 109.7%, and the relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day were less than 10%. The limits of detection were 3 microg/L for prilocaine and 2 microg/L for lidocaine. This assay was time-saving, alternative and sensitive. It was suitable for the analysis of samples collected from the study on in vitro percutaneous absorption.

Abstract
The death of a female anaesthesiologist is reported. Although the situation at the scene indicated propofol overdose-related death, self-administration of such high doses of propofol was unlikely, given the pharmacological properties of this drug. The analysis of the situation at the scene and the toxicological analysis in which the blood and liver propofol concentrations were 2.40microg/ml and 0.56microg/g, respectively, supported the conclusion that the death was a consequence of propofol self-administration at therapeutic doses from a person who used the drug on chronic basis seeking to its euphoric effects. However, because the toxic concentrations of propofol in non-intubated patients may be different from those intubated and fully supported in the operating room or in the intensive care unit, a mere interpretation of the blood and tissue concentrations of propofol in the toxicological analysis can confirm the drug intake but it may be of limited diagnostic significance without taking into account this difference.

Abstract
A fast and simple capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed and validated for the determination of lidocaine in skin using tape samples. Separation was performed in a 350 mm (265 mm to window) x 50 microm i.d. fused silica capillary using a background electrolyte of phosphoric acid-Tris pH 2.5. The extraction of lidocaine from tape samples was achieved using methanol, which was diluted to 50% with water before injection. Procaine was the internal standard. The migration times for procaine and lidocaine were 2.9 and 3.2 min, respectively. The limit of quantification for lidocaine was 50 microg, with signal to noise ratio greater than 10. The calibration curve was linear from 50 to 1000 microg with r(2) greater than 0.99. The CV for both within- and between-assay imprecision and the percentage of inaccuracy for the quality control samples including lower and upper limits of quantitation were <or=2% and <or=14%, respectively. The absolute recovery of lidocaine was >97%. The accuracy and selectivity of this method allowed the measurement of lidocaine in tape samples obtained from a skin tape stripping study of local anesthetics in healthy subjects.

Abstract
Local anesthetics are commonly diluted with saline, but the influence of the dilution on the epidural anesthesia remains unclear. We randomized 40 patients scheduled for gynecological abdominal surgery under epidural anesthesia to one of two groups; those in group P received plain commercially prepared 1% lidocaine and those in group D received 1% lidocaine derived from 2% lidocaine and the same volume of saline was infused epidurally with an epidural catheter at L1-2. The pH and sodium and chloride ion concentrations of the solutions were measured. Sensory and motor blockade, foot skin temperature, arterial blood pressure, and heart rate were assessed at 5, 10, and 15 min after the epidural infusion. The spread of sensory blockade was significantly wider in group P at all assessment times than in group D. The increase of foot temperature and decrease of mean arterial blood pressure were significantly faster in group P than in group D. Although the mean pH values of the two solutions were similar, sodium and chloride ion concentrations of the diluted solution were significantly larger than those of the plain solution. We conclude that 2% lidocaine diluted with the same volume of saline produces less potent epidural blockade than commercially prepared plain 1% lidocaine.

Abstract
A simple liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) device combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is presented for the simultaneous analysis of local anaesthetics, lidocaine, bupivacaine, and tetracaine, from human urine sample. An organic solvent showed good compatibility with the mobile phase of the HPLC, o-dibutyl phthalate, was selected. Local anaesthetics are extracted from 6 ml of the feed aqueous solution and human urine sample into a water-immiscible organic solvent suspended at the needle tip of the microsyringe, then the organic solvent was directly introduced to a reversed-phase HPLC system. The kind of the organic extraction solvent, the stirring rate, the pH value of the aqueous feed solution, and the extraction time have been discussed. Under the optimized extraction conditions, high enrichment factors (more than 86.0-fold) and significant sample clean-up for all of studied local anaesthetics were achieved within 30 min. The detection limits (lower than 0.05 microg/ml) were comparable with previously reported gas chromatography methods. This method was applied to specimen of patient who was treated with extradural anaesthesia of lidocaine, bupivacaine, and tetracaine, and revealed that simultaneous determination of above three local anaesthetics in human urine was possible.

Abstract
In this work, CE separation with end-column Ru(bpy)3(2+) ECL detection for the quantitative determination of pentoxyverine was firstly performed. The experimental conditions, such as the applied potential, injection voltage, injection time, and the pH of separation buffer, were discussed in detail. Gold nanoparticles were found to enhance the ECL intensity at an appropriate volume ratio of nanogold with Ru(bpy)3(2+) but without changing their nanoproperties proved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectra. The detection limits with or without nanogold were 6 nM and 0.6 microM, respectively. Successful separation of pentoxyverine, chlorpheniramine, and lidocaine was achieved. This method was also applied to monitor drug binding with HSA, and the binding constant for pentoxyverine was estimated as 1.8 x 10(3)/M.

Abstract
The major goal of this work was to develop a new solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detector suitable for capillary electrophoresis (CE). The detector was fabricated by coating a sol-gel derived zirconia (ZrO(2))-Nafion composite film on a graphite electrode, then the zirconia-Nafion modified electrode was immersed in tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)) solution to immobilize this active chemiluminescence reagent. The voltammetric and ECL behaviors of the detector were investigated and optimized in tripropylamine solution. The ratio of 53% for zirconia in the zirconia-Nafion composite provided the highest luminescence intensity of immobilized Ru(bpy)(3) (2+). The ECL can maintain its stability very well in the phosphate solution in the period of 5-90 h when the solid-state ECL detector was immersed in the solution all the time. The optimum distance of capillary outlet to the solid-state ECL detector has been found to be ca. 50-80 microm for a 75 microm capillary. The effects of ionic strength and pH of ECL solution on peak height were investigated. The CE with solid-state ECL detector system was successfully used to detect tripropylamine, lidocaine, and proline. The detection limits (S/N = 3) were 5 x 10(-9) mol.L(-1) for tripropylamine, 1 x 10(-8) mol.L(-1) for lidocaine and 5 x 10(-6) mol.L(-1) for proline, and the linear ranges were from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol.L(-1) for tripropylamine, 5.0 x 10(-7) mol.L(-1) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol.L(-1) for lidocaine and 1.0 x 10(-5) to 1.0 x 10(-3) mol.L(-1) for proline, respectively.

Abstract
A sensitive liquid chromatographic (LC) method with UV detection was developed for the determination of residues of lidocaine (LID) and its major metabolite, monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX), in elk velvet antler. The drugs were extracted from alkaline velvet antler homogenates, cleaned up on a C(18) solid-phase extraction cartridge, and separated on an Inertsil ODS-3 (3.0 x 250 mm, 5 microm) column using an isocratic mobile phase made up of 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 4.0)/acetonitrile (88:12, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The limits of quantification for LID and its major metabolite, MEGX, were 10 and 20 ng/g, respectively. The method was validated and used to measure the concentration of residues of LID and MEGX in elk velvet antlers harvested after either LID anesthesia or application of a drug-free control method (electro-anesthesia, EA). No LID or MEGX residues were detected in any of the antlers harvested after EA application. No MEGX residues were detected in any of the velvet antlers harvested after LID application, but residues of LID ranging in concentration from 68 to 4300 ng/g were detected in the three sections of the velvet antlers harvested after LID administration. LC-tandem mass spectrometry was used to confirm the presence of lidocaine detected in the velvet antlers.

Abstract
A simple, accurate, and sensitive HPLC analysis of monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and lidocaine in porcine microsome samples is described. Lidocaine and MEGX were measured by direct injection after the addition of the internal standard. Chromatography was performed on a muBondapak C(18) column using an isocratic mobile phase of 0.03 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate:acetonitrile (87:13), pH 5.9. UV absorbance was measured at 205 nm. The procedure produced linear curves for the concentration range 50-1000 ng/mL with a limit of detection of 10 ng/mL. Recoveries for both compounds were greater than 90%. This assay produced accurate and repeatable results.

Abstract
Hot-melt extrusion technology was used to produce thin films containing a model drug, lidocaine, and the cellulosic polymers hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). Two film formulations were extruded and compared, one containing only HPC and the other containing HPC:HPMC (80:20). Thermal analysis of the films using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) suggested that the drug existed in the amorphous condition, which was confirmed by wide angle X-ray diffractometry. Sustained release of the drug was observed from both of the polymer matrices. Dissolution profiles suggested that HPMC retarded the drug release from HPC:HPMC (80:20) films. However, the mechanism of drug release from both of the films was predominantly diffusion of the drug through the polymer matrices. Incorporation of HPMC also increased both adhesive strength and work of adhesion as compared to the HPC-only films.

Abstract
A man suspected to be a drug user was found dead; toxicological analysis of his biological samples showed the presence of lidocaine in all samples analysed, while cocaine was found only in the blood, urine and hair samples. We found that the cause of death was determined by ventricular arrhythmia associated to lidocaine/cocaine overdosage.

Abstract
Fast analysis of ofloxacin and lidocaine, as bactericide and analgesic or anesthetics, is of clinic importance for understanding the patient's medical process. This paper presented a high throughput, simple analysis method of lidocaine and ofloxacin by capillary electrophoresis coupled with electrochemiluminescence (ECL) using porous etched joint. To shorten the analysis time and to improve the analytical performance, a capillary with 10 cm in length was used as the separation channel. The cyclic voltammograms of Ru(bpy)3(2+) with different capillary length at same field strength showed that the porous etched joint eliminated the effect of electrophoretic current on the ECL detection. Following micro total analysis systems (microTAS), some advantages of which this approach has, the fabrication of channel in chip was not needed. Compared with capillary electrophoresis with 40-cm-long capillary, the high sample throughput and low zone broadening may be the main advantage of the present system. Under optimal condition, the detection limits of lidocaine and ofloxacin based on peak height were 3.0 x 10(-8) and 5.0 x 10(-7) molL(-1) and a 60 h(-1) of sampling frequency was obtained. The precision (R.S.D.) of the migration time and the peak height for five replicate injections of a mixture of lidocaine (1.0 x 10(-6) molL(-1)) and ofloxacin (4.0 x 10(-6) molL(-1)) were 3.2-3.9% and 4.7-5.3%, respectively.

Abstract
The death of a 76-year-old man with heart disease as a result of the injection of an excessive dose of lidocaine is presented. The patient was given 5 ml of 10% lidocaine hydrochloride (500 mg) intravenously instead of 2.5 ml of 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (50mg) in order to treat repeated paroxysmal ventricular arrhythmia. Immediately following the injection the patient had tonic clonic seizures and complete cardiopulmonary arrest followed. Although resuscitation attempts once successfully restarted his pulse and spontaneous respiration, the patient died on the eighth day after the injection. Toxicological examinations were carried out on the tissues obtained at the time of autopsy and which had been fixed in formalin solution for 40 days, and lidocaine was detected in each tissue examined. The concentrations were (ng/g or ml): parietal lobe, 308.0; occipital lobe, 208.7; temporal lobe, 318.0; frontal lobe, 223.2; cerebellum 200.9; pons 285.7; liver, 109.5; kidney 52.2; skeletal muscle 127.0; and formalin solution 8.4. In an experiment on rats we determined the concentration changes of lidocaine in formalin fixed tissues. The concentrations of lidocaine in these tissues significantly decreased to 1/3-1/4 from the original. This data shows that the cause of death was poisoning by lidocaine overdose.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a control sample, of known content and identity, to diagnose and correct errors in the predictions when the same multivariate calibration model was used for analysis of new samples over time. A calibration set consisting of 16 samples with a known content of lidocaine was analysed and two external test sets, A and B, were used for the validation. Test set A contained 15 samples with different concentrations of lidocaine and test set B contained three samples with different lidocaine content, which were analysed six times in order to obtain a measure of repeatability. The multivariate calibration was done with PLS regression on UV spectra collected between 245 and 290 nm. A representative UV spectrum was exported from the collected DAD files by two methods, average spectrum over the whole file and average spectrum over the sample plug. Test set A was analysed further on another three occasions together with a control sample. The results showed that the control sample could be used to give a diagnosis and estimate of the prediction error. Moreover, the measured prediction error of the control sample could also be used to correct the predictions, thereby reducing the prediction error. Finally, some practical considerations regarding use of the proposed DAD method with a control sample are presented. The procedure suggested could lead to an efficient analytical approach where the same calibration model could be used over time without recalibration, which may be attractive in industrial quality control or screening analysis in pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
The coupling of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to mass spectrometry (MS) with an electrospray ionization (ESI) technique is generally performed for qualitative applications, and only few quantitative results have been reported. This paper investigates the validation of a CE-ESI-MS method for the analysis of a pharmaceutical formulation containing lidocaine. Some important ESI criteria are discussed including sheath-liquid composition, nebulizing gas pressure and position of the CE capillary outlet. After optimization of these parameters, an intermediate precision of about 5% was achieved. The latter, as well as efficiency and resolution, were compared to those achieved with UV detection. Besides, a multiple injection procedure was developed to reduce analysis time per sample and was successfully applied to both UV and MS detectors. The validation results achieved by multiple injections were identical to those obtained with classical injection, but afforded a gain of time by a factor of 2.5.

Abstract
A micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) procedure was developed for the simultaneous separation and determination of lidocaine hydrochloride (LD HCl) and tolperisone hydrochloride (TP HCl) using a short-column C18 (12.5 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with a small amount of isopropanol, and diode array detector. The optimum conditions for the simultaneous determination of both drugs were 0.075 mol l(-1) SDS-7.5% (v/v) isopropanol with a flow rate of 0.7 ml min(-1) and detection at 210 nm. The LOD (2S/N) of LD HCl was 0.73 ng 20 microl(-1), whereas that of TP HCl was 1.43 ng 20 microl(-1). The calibration curves for LD HCl and TP HCl were linear over the ranges 0.125-500 microg ml(-1) (r(2)=0.9999) and 1.00-500 microg ml(-1) (r(2)=0.9997), respectively. The %recoveries of both drugs were in the range 98-103% and the %RSD values were less than 2. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of TP HCl and LD HCl in various pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract
A new method for the rapid determination of pharmaceutical solutions is proposed. A conventional HPLC system with a Diode Array Detector (DAD) was used with no chromatographic column connected. As eluent, purified water (Milli Q) was used. The pump and autosampler of the HPLC system were mainly utilised as an automatic and convenient way of introducing the sample into the DAD. The method was tested on the local anaesthetic compound lidocaine. The UV spectrum (245-290 nm) from the samples analysed in the detector was used for multivariate calibration for the determination of lidocaine solutions. The content was determined with PLS regression. The effect on the predictive ability of three factors: flow, data-collection rate and rise time as well as two ways of exporting a representative UV spectrum from the DAD file collected was investigated by means of an experimental design comprising 11 experiments. For each experiment, 14 solutions containing a known content of lidocaine were analysed (0.02-0.2 mg ml(-1)). From these 14 samples two calibration sets and two test sets were made and as the response in the experimental design the Root Mean Square Error of Prediction (RMSEP) values from the predictions of the two test sets were used. When the factor setting giving the lowest RMSEP was found, this setting was used when analysing a new calibration set of 12 lidocaine samples (0.1-0.2 mg ml(-1)). This calibration model was validated by two external test sets, A and B, analysed on separate occasions for the evaluation of repeatability (test set A) and determination over time (test set B). For comparison, the reference method, liquid chromatography, was also used for analysis of the ten samples in test set B. This comparison of the two methods was done twice on different occasions. The results show that in respect of accuracy, precision and repeatability the new method is comparable to the reference method. The main advantages compared with liquid chromatography are the much shorter time of analysis (<30 s) as well as the automatic and simple analytical procedure and the low consumption of organic solvents.

Abstract
A simple, accurate and sensitive method for the microdetermination of benzocaine, lignocaine and procaine hydrochlorides in pure forms and in pharmaceutical formulations is described. The procedure is based on the reaction of those drugs in an aqueous acidic medium with p-benzoquinone to form charge-transfer complexes. The method has been used for the determination of 5.0-70, 5.0-60 and 5.0-90 microg ml(-1) of benzocaine, lignocaine HCl and procaine HCl, respectively. The complexes have apparent molar absorptivities of 1.70 x 10(3), 2.79 x 10(3) and 2.42 x 10(3) L mol(-1) cm(-1) and Sandell sensitivities of 9.72, 10.34 and 11.25 ng cm(-2), respectively. The proposed procedure of analysis is as accurate as the British Pharmacopoeial method (2003). The method was successfully used for the determination of those drugs in the presence of their degradation products, additives and excipients, which were normally encountered in pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Formulation of drugs for administration via the nasal cavity is becoming increasingly common. It is of potential clinical relevance to determine whether intranasal drug administration itself, or exposure to other xenobiotics, can modulate the levels and/or activity of nasal mucosal metabolic enzymes, thereby affecting the metabolism and disposition of the drug. In these studies, we examined changes in several of the major metabolic enzymes in nasal epithelial tissues upon exposure to the environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), as well as the impact of these changes on the metabolism of a model intranasally administered drug, lidocaine. Results of these studies show that TCDD can induce multiple metabolic enzymes in the olfactory mucosa and that the pattern of induction in the olfactory mucosa does not necessarily parallel that which occurs in the liver. Further, increases in enzyme levels noted by Western blot analysis were associated with increased activities of several nasal mucosal enzymes as well as with enhanced conversion of lidocaine to its major metabolite, monoethyl glycine xylidide (MEGX). These results demonstrate that environmental exposures can influence the levels and activity of nasal mucosal enzymes and impact the pharmacology of drugs administered via the nasal route.

Abstract
A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method to determine hydrocortisone acetate, hydrocortisone hemisuccinate and lidocaine is described in this paper. The separation was made in a LichrCART C(18) column using a methanol-NaH(2)PO(4)/Na(2)HPO(4) (0.1 mol L(-1)) (pH=4.5) buffer solution as a mobile phase in isocratic mode (60:40 (v/v)). The mobile phase flow rate and the sample volume injected were 1 mL min(-1) and 20 micro L, respectively. The detection was made with a diode-array detector measuring at the maximum for each compound. Quantification limits ranging from 0.18 to 0.84 micro g L(-1) were obtained when the peak area was measured. The method was applied in pharmaceutical formulations that were compared with those obtained by through multivariate regression spectrophotometry and micellar capillary electrophoresis (MEKC). HPLC results are in accordance with the results obtained by MEKC. The spectrophotometric method was suitable only for synthetic samples.

Abstract
A simple, fast and reliable reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method was developed for the assay of lidocaine in human aqueous humour samples. The samples were analysed without any preliminary treatment on a C8 column with UV detection at 225 nm. The mobile phase consisted of methanol/sodium dihydrogen phosphate (30 mM) containing sodium pentansulphonate (10 mM) adjusted to pH 2.5 with phosphoric acid (50:50 v/v). Validation of the method showed it to be precise, accurate and linear over the concentration range of analysis with a limit of detection of 0.2 microgml(-1). The limit of quantitation was 2.5 microgml(-1) with a relative standard deviation of 2.5%. Linear regression analysis in the range 2.5-60 microgml(-1) gave correlation coefficients higher than 0.999. No interference from three commonly co-administered drugs was observed. The method developed was applied to the analysis of lidocaine in aqueous humour samples in order to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two different forms of administration of lidocaine for topical anaesthesia in cataract surgery.

Abstract
The ion-associate complexes of lignocaine hydrochloride (Lig.Cl) with ammonium reineckate (Rk) or sodium cobaltithiocyanate, and that of amprolium hydrochloride (Amp.Cl) with ammonium reineckate, have been prepared. The precipitated ion-associates were subjected to elemental analyses, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and determination of the metal content for elucidation of their structures. The solubilities of the solid ion-associate complexes have been studied and their solubility products were determined at different temperatures at the optimum pH for their quantitative precipitation. The thermodynamic parameters DeltaH, DeltaG and DeltaS for the dissolution of the ion-associate complexes were calculated. These ion-associate complexes have been used for the quantitative determination of the above mentioned drugs by precipitating them with an excess of the inorganic metal complex ions and determining the excess metal complex ions using atomic absorption spectrometry. The method was applied for the determination of the above drugs in pure solution and pharmaceutical preparations. 0.135-135.4 and 0.158-157.6 mg of lignocaine and amprolium, respectively, can be determined with mean relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) 0.92-1.20% and recovery values of 99.18+/-0.48 to 100.12+/-0.34% indicating high precision and accuracy.

Abstract
A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of tolperisone (TP) and lidocaine (LD) has been developed. The drugs were separated on a column (4.60 x 250 mm(2)) Spherisorb ODS (5 microm) using 5.5% triethylamine in 70/30 v/v acetonitrile/water as mobile phase 0.7 ml min(-1)and UV detection at 254 nm. The detection limits for Tolperisone hydrochloride (TP-HCl) and lidocaine hydrochloride (LD-HCl) were 0.20 ng/20 microl and 100 ng/20 microl and the quantitation limits were 0.50 ng/20 microl and 250 ng/20 microl, respectively. Linear calibration curves over the ranges of 1-10, 10-100 and 150-500 microg ml(-1) for TP-HCl and 10-500 microg ml(-1) for LD-HCl were established. Different calibration slopes were found for TP probably owing to changes in refractive index due to increase in TP concentration. The average recoveries of the added TP in the samples (TP-HCl tablets and injection liquid). A solutions spiked with standard TP-HCl were 99.9 and 99.7% with the RSD (n=11) of 0.66 and 0.67%, respectively. The average recovery of the added LD in the sample (injection) spiked with standard LD-HCl was 98.9% with the RSD (n=11) of 0.59%. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of TP-HCl and LD-HCl in commercial products available in Thailand. Comparative determination of TP by UV spectrophotometry and LD by colorimetry were also carried out. The results obtained by both methods were in good agreement of those obtained by the proposed method verified by using t-test. The proposed RP-HPLC method is simple, accurate, reproducible and suitable for routine analysis.

Abstract
The relationships between retention and mobile-phase pH in gradient elution are studied for acids and bases. The apparent pH shift caused by the increasing amount of acetonitrile and methanol has been determined starting from a wide range of pH values. It is shown that good relationships between the retention of ionizable compounds and the pH of the aqueous buffer can be established if the same type of buffer (ammonium acetate in this work) is used for all pH points. Equations are proposed to fit the gradient retention data to the pH of the aqueous buffer. The proposed equation gives an account of the relative variation of the pKa of the compound in the reference to the variation of the pH of the buffer as both parameters change during gradient elution.

Abstract
A sensitive and specific ELISA for an antiarrhythmic drug, pilsicainide, was developed, which is capable of measuring as low as 1.6 ng/ml. Anti-pilsicainide antibody was obtained by immunizing rabbits with pilsicainide conjugated with bovine serum albumin using diazotized N-(3-amino-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-8-pyrrolizidinylacetamide (3-aminopilsicainide). Enzyme labeling of pilsicainide with beta-D-galactosidase was similarly performed using a diazotized 3-aminopilsicainide. Cross-reactivity data showed that the antibody well recognizes both the aromatic ring and the pyrrolizidine moieties, and thus specific enough to the structure of pilsicainide. The values for the pilsicainide concentrations detected using this assay were comparable with those detected using HPLC. There was a good correlation between the values determined by the two methods. Moreover, the ELISA was about 30-fold more sensitive in detecting pilsicainide at lower concentrations. Using this assay, drug levels were easily measured in the serum of rabbits after oral administration of pilsicainide at a single dose of 1 mg/kg. The ELISA should be a valuable tool in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and pharmacokinetic studies of pilsicainide.

Abstract
An HPLC method for the quantification of oxycodone and lidocaine in a gel matrix is described. The mobile phase consisted of methanol--water--acetic acid (35:15:1 v/v/v) and was delivered at 1.5 ml/min through a 4.6 x 250 mm Zorbax SB-C8 column. Oxycodone was detected at 285 nm and lidocaine at 264 nm. Linear calibration curves were obtained for oxycodone in the range of 0.05--1.5% (w/w) and for lidocaine in the range of 0.1--5.0% (w/w). Oxycodone and lidocaine were treated with hydrogen peroxide and the oxidation products were readily separated on the column. The method was applied to assess the stability of a gel containing oxycodone hydrochloride (0.3% w/w) and lidocaine (1.5% w/w). The gel was stored under refrigeration in ready-to-use syringes and under these conditions oxycodone and lidocaine were stable for at least 1 year. The gel is useful in the management of tenesmus in rectal cancer.

Abstract
A method is proposed for the determination of the content and identity of the active compound in pharmaceutical solutions by means of ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, orthogonal signal correction (OSC) and multivariate calibration with soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA) classification and partial least squares (PLS) regression. The content was determined with PLS regression and the identity with PLS regression and SIMCA classification. The method was tested on the local anaesthetic compound lidocaine. For the validation, external test sets of both manufactured sample solutions and samples from a stability study were used. For comparison with this new method, liquid chromatography was used as a reference method. The results show that in respect of accuracy, precision and repeatability, the new method is comparable to the reference method. The main advantage over liquid chromatography is the much shorter time of analysis and the simpler analytical procedure. An estimate of the analysis time saved with the proposed method compared with using liquid chromatography, together with practical considerations, is given.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have been carried out on the levels and possible toxicity of local anesthetics in breast milk after parenteral administration. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of lidocaine and its metabolite monoethyl-glycinexylidide (MEGX) in breast milk after local anesthesia during dental procedures. METHODS The study population consisted of seven nursing mothers (age, 23-39 years) who received 3.6 to 7.2 mL 2% lidocaine without adrenaline. Blood and milk concentrations of lidocaine and its metabolite MEGX were assayed using high-performance liquid chromatography. The milk-to-plasma ratio and the possible daily doses in infants for both lidocaine and MEGX were calculated. RESULTS The lidocaine concentration in maternal plasma 2 hours after injection was 347.6 +/- 221.8 microg/L, the lidocaine concentration in maternal milk ranged from 120.5 +/- 54.1 microg/L (3 hours after injection) to 58.3 +/- 22.8 microg/L (6 hours after injection), the MEGX concentration in maternal plasma 2 hours after injection was 58.9 +/- 30.3 microg/L, and the MEGX concentration in maternal milk ranged from 97.5 +/- 39.6 microg/L (3 hours after injection) to 52.7 +/- 23.8 microg/L (6 hours after injection). According to these data and considering an intake of 90 mL breast milk every 3 hours, the daily infant dosages of lidocaine and MEGX were 73.41 +/- 38.94 microg/L/day and 66.1 +/- 28.5 microg/L/day respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that even if a nursing mother undergoes dental treatment with local anesthesia using lidocaine without adrenaline, she can safely continue breastfeeding.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a method for lidocaine detection in dental pulp by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amounts of lidocaine in dog pulps were quantitated after local injection to evaluate lidocaine recovery from pulp tissue with this technique. Comparison was also made between the amount of lidocaine found in upper and lower canines. The high-performance liquid chromatography system was shown to be a reliable and reproducible tool for lidocaine determination. Lidocaine extraction from the tissue showed recovery of 90%. The amount of lidocaine recovered from the upper canine (0.21 microg/mg) was higher than the lower canine (0.17 microg/mg).

Abstract
The advantages and disadvantages of using monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX), the major metabolite of lidocaine, as a probe of hepatic function in liver transplantation are reviewed. A 'real time' test of liver function should give a measure of current hepatocellular capacity rather than reflect past damage. The hepatic metabolism of lidocaine to MEGX is the basis of a flow-dependent dynamic test of liver function. In pre-transplantation patients, data from this MEGX test support its role in assessing the risk of morbidity and mortality. In assessing the liver transplant donor, there are differences concerning its apparent usefulness and these must be resolved. In the liver transplant recipient, this MEGX test is also useful for measuring real-time hepatic metabolizing activity, and low MEGX values reflect the clinical condition of the patient. At present, however, this test has several limitations. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation, not only by the MEGX test but also by a combination of other conventional liver function tests (biochemical parameters, etc.), or with histological evaluation, is thought to be desirable for deciding whether a liver transplantation should be carried out or not.
