	abstract = {AIM: To improve HPLC method for rapid determination of urinary S/R-ratio of mephenytoin, a widely used metabolic index for cytochrome P-450 2C19 (CYP2C19) activity. 
METHODS: Aliquots of 0-8-h urine sample after dosing racemic mephenytoin 100 mg underwent one-step extraction with dichloromethane. Analysis was performed on a chiral column (250 mm x 4 mm, 5 microns) at lambda = 207 nm. The eluent was a mixture of acetronitrile and water containing both 0.1% glacial acetic acid and 0.2% triethylamine (14:86, vol/vol) at a flow-rate of 0.9 mL.min-1. 
RESULTS: The enatiomers of mephenytoin in urine were well separated within 9 min. A linear correlation was observed between 50-5000 micrograms.L-1 with the detection limit of 12.5 micrograms.L-1 for both enantiomers of mephenytoin. This HPLC analysis was comparable to gas chromatography in accuracy and sensitivity, but with much shorter retention time and better resolution. 
CONCLUSION: The present HPLC method is good for rapid determination of the ability of subjects to hydroxylate S-mephenytoin after oral administration of the racemic drug.},
