A sensitive, selective, and reproducible in-tube solid-phase microextraction and liquid chromatographic (in-tube SPME/LC-UV) method for determination of lidocaine and its metabolite monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) in human plasma has been developed, validated, and further applied to pharmacokinetic study in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) subjected to epidural anesthesia. Important factors in the optimization of in-tube SPME performance are discussed, including the draw/eject sample volume, draw/eject cycle number, draw/eject flow rate, sample pH, and influence of plasma proteins. The limits of quantification of the in-tube SPME/LC method were 50 ng/mL for both metabolite and lidocaine. The interday and intraday precision had coefficients of variation lower than 8%, and accuracy ranged from 95 to 117%. The response of the in-tube SPME/LC method for analytes was linear over a dynamic range from 50 to 5000 ng/mL, with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9976. The developed in-tube SPME/LC method was successfully used to analyze lidocaine and its metabolite in plasma samples from pregnant women with GDM subjected to epidural anesthesia for pharmacokinetic study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on developing an optimized lidocaine dosing regimen for obese patients during surgery, highlighting the need for more effective pain management.
  • Researchers gathered data from 30 patients, measuring plasma levels of lidocaine and its metabolites to create a pharmacokinetic model.
  • The findings suggested that current dosing was often inadequate, but an adjusted regimen could improve the likelihood of reaching therapeutic drug concentrations.

Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic commonly used during circumcision for dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB). We describe a case of a 12-week-old infant who presented generalized seizures due to local anesthetic systemic toxicity after Lidocaine administration for circumcision in a non-hospital setting. Serum concentrations of Lidocaine (16.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined if elderly patients (over 75) need a different dosage of intravenous lidocaine during general anesthesia, with research involving 76 patients across three age groups.
  • - Lidocaine was given at 1.5 mg/kg for younger groups and 1.0 mg/kg for those 75 and older, with plasma samples collected to assess drug levels.
  • - Results showed no major differences in how the drug was processed by different age groups, concluding that dose adjustments aren't needed for patients under 86 during anesthesia.

Water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia crassipes Mart.) collected from two South African rivers were analyzed in order to investigate their suitability for judging the presence of pharmaceuticals in the water. Thereby, a number of drugs, including amitriptyline, atenolol, citalopram, orphenadrine, lidocaine, telmisartan, and tramadol, could be detected.

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.
