Abstract: | A sensitive method for the separation and determination of R(+)- and S(-) enantiomers of pyridoglutehimide in serum by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed. The assay involves the use of a solid-phase extraction for serum sample clean-up prior to HPLC analysis using a C18 Bond-Elute column. Chromatographic resolution of the enantiomers was performed on a reversed-phase cellulose-based chiral column (Chiralcel OD-R, 250 x 4.6 mm I.D.) under isocratic conditions using a mobile phase of 25:75 v/v acetonitrile-0.3 M aqueous sodium perchlorate (pH 6.2 adjusted with perchloric acid) at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min. Recoveries for R(+)- and S(-)-pyridoglutethimide enantiomers were in the range 86-91% at 300-900 ng/ml level. Intra-day and inter-day precision calculated as %R.S.D. were in the ranges of 2.9-3.9 and 1.5-4.7% for both enantiomers, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day accuracies calculated as percentage error were in the ranges of 1.9-3.3 and 1.5-3.9% for both enantiomers, respectively. Linear calibration curves in the concentration ranges of 100-1500 ng/ml for each enantiomer show correlation coefficient (r) of more than 0.9995. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of each enantiomer was 100 ng/ml using 1 ml of serum. The detection limit (LOD) for each enantiomer in serum using a UV detection set at 257 nm was 50 ng/ml (S/N = 2). |
