β¦ Synopsis
Mefenamic acid (Ponstan) is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent in the management of rheumatoid arthritis 1---i. Several analytical methods have been published for its analysis including thin-layer chromatography', fluorimetry6e7, colorimetryS and electroncapture gas-liquid chromatography9.
The -method described in this paper was devised for the estimation of the drug at therapeutic levels and in cases of overdosage. The procedure is rapid, the acid being butylated with iodobutane, and allows the drug concentrations to be analysed down to a level of 1 mg/l using 2 ml of serum.

A sensitive method has been established for the analysis of serum bile acids by gas-liquid chromatography (glc). Bile acids are extracted from 0.5-2 ml of serum and analysed as methyl ester trifluoroacetates following enzymatic hydrolysis of the taurine and glycine conjugates. The method as describe
