Abstract
The enantiomers of alprenolol, metoprolol, and propranolol have been separated on an enantioselective cellulase column and analysed using a fully automated HPLC system involving coupled column chromatography and fluorescence detection. The assays had sufficient selectivity and sensitivity to investigate the disposition of these β2‐receptor antagonists in blood and brain extracellular fluid of rats. A cellulase column was used as the first column to separate the enantiomers giving separation factors between 2.9 and 4.3. After the separation, the enantiomers were trapped on two small precolumns by the use of a switching valve and were then introduced on an achiral C18 analytical column by eluting the small columns backward. The enantiomers in blood and brain tissue dialysates were analysed by direct injection of 8 μl samples. The limit of quantitation was 0.025–0.4 μg/ml of the different enantiomers. Plasma samples were analysed after a simple extraction procedure. The intraassay precision of the lowest quality control plasma samples (0.2–0.8 μg rac drug/ml) was 4–8% for the different enantiomers.Keywords
