Abstract
Carbamazepine which is the active substance of the anti-epileptic drug Tegretol® has the chemical structure of 5-carbamyl-5H-dibenzo[b, f]azepine. Recently several papers relating to the biotransformation of the drug have been published but our present knowledge still appears insufficient.
