Popis: Valproic acid (VPA) is a classic medication for several types of epilepsy and mood disorders, and some of its effectiveness and toxicity were associated with metabolites. Although many reports have reported the drug-drug interactions of VPA, no study has focused on the influence of carbapenems (CBPMs) on VPA's active metabolites. An LC-MS/MS method for determining VPA and its six metabolites (3-OH-VPA, 4-OH-VPA, 2-ene-VPA, 4-ene-VPA, 3-keto-VPA and 2-PGA) in human serum was established and applied to evaluate drug-drug interaction with CBPMs in epileptic patients. The stable isotope VPA-d6 was used as an internal standard. Analytes in serum samples (50 μL) were isolated using a Kinetex C
