A previous report detailed the derivation and validation of an equation for calculating the Gibbs free energy of liquid-solid adsorption via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This study utilizes an improved form of that equation in conjunction with an in vitro model of solute adsorption to give an ordered listing of the antidotal activity of activated charcoal towards different drugs and other chemicals. The in vitro model consists of an activated charcoal column with a nominal particle diameter of 15 micron and a surface area of 447 x 10(4) cm2/g, together with a series of acetonitrile:water mobile phases at pH 3.

Serum proteins are precipitated with an acetonitrile solution containing 5-(4-methylphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin, the internal standard. The drugs are eluted from a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase consisting of an acetonitrile/phosphate buffer, at a flow rate of 3.

The response of chronic insomniacs to 100 mg pentobarbital, 300 mg methyprylon, 500 mg glutethimide, and placebo was assessed using our previously described subjective and objective techniques. The purpose of the study was to examine (1) the presence or absence of the subjects' reported insomnia; (2) the subjects' ability to discriminate between active hypnotic drugs and placebo; and (3) whether any preference existed among active medications. Statistically significant findings included a high degree of correlation (P less than 0.
