Abstract
This paper proposes strategies in normal- and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC or NPLC and RP-HPLC or RPLC), which were developed using three polysaccharide-based stationary phases. Those strategies are implemented in a knowledge-based system for the chiral separation of drug enantiomers. Each strategy includes a screening and an optimisation stage. The screening stage allows a fast evaluation of separation possibilities and enantioselectivity for many drugs in a short period of time, while the optimisation stage gives the opportunity to enhance, if needed, the initially obtained separation. Different examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategies for fast method development.

Abstract
Direct stereoselective separation on chiral stationary phase was developed for HPLC analysis of the four stereoisomers of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol in human plasma and urine. Plasma samples were prepared using solid-phase extraction columns and urine samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction. The stereoisomers were separated on a Chiralpak AD column at 24 degrees C with fluorescence detection and a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of hexane:ethanol:isopropanol:diethylamine (88:10.2:1.8:0.2) for plasma samples and hexane:ethanol:diethylamine (88:12:0.2) for urine samples. Calibration curves for the individual stereoisomers were linear within the concentration range of 2.0-200 ng/ml plasma or 0.125-25 microg/ml urine. The methods were validated with intra- and interday variations less than 15%. The absolute configuration of the pure stereoisomers were assigned by circular dichroism spectra. The methods were employed to determine the concentrations of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol stereoisomers in a metabolism study of multiple-dose administration of racemic metoprolol to hypertensive patients phenotyped as extensive metabolizers of debrisoquine. We observed stereo-selectivity in the alpha-hydroxymetoprolol formation favoring the new 1'R chiral center from both metoprolol enantiomers (AUC(0-24) (1'R1'S) = 3.02). The similar renal clearances (Cl(R)) of the four stereoisomers demonstrated absence of stereoselectivity in their renal excretion. (-)-(S)-metoprolol was slightly more alpha-hydroxylated than its antipode (AUC(0-24) (2S/2R) = 1.19), suggesting that this pathway is not responsible for plasma accumulation of this enantiomer in humans.

Abstract
Direct liquid chromatographic separations of the enantiomers of metoprolol and bisoprolol have been developed, using (R)-1-naphthylglycine and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid as chiral stationary phase (CSP). The separations were achieved in a normal phase system employing a mobile phase containing n-hexane, 1,2-dichloroethane and methanol. Column efficiency was strongly dependent on the composition of the mobile phase. The eluent contents of methanol and of 1,2-dichloroethane were optimized, and so was flow-rate and column temperature. Under the optimal conditions, linear responses for (R)-metoprolol and (S)-metoprolol are obtained in the range of 0.079-1.38 and 0.015-5.80 mg/ml, with detection limits of 0.008 and 0.002 mg/ml, respectively. As for bisoprolol, the linear ranges of (R)-isomer and (S)-isomer are 0.05-1.31 and 0.02-1.00 mg/ml with detection limits of 0.001 and 0.008 mg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of each enantiomer did not exceed 0.90%. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of enantiomers in pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A sensitive and stereoselective high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of the enantiomers of metoprolol (R- and S-) and the diastereoisomers of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol (IIA, IIB) in plasma is reported. Chromatography involved direct separation of enantiomers using a Chirobiotic T bonded phase column (250 x 4.6 mm) and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-methanol-methylene chloride-glacial acetic acid-triethylamine (56:30:14:2:2, v/v). Solid-phase extraction using silica bonded with ethyl group (C2) was used to extract the compounds of interest from plasma and atenolol was used as the internal standard. The column effluent was monitored using fluorescence detection with excitation and emission wavelengths of 225 and 310 nm, respectively. S-Metoprolol, R-metoprolol, IIB and IIA eluted at about 5.9, 6.7, 7.3 and 8.2 min without any interfering peaks. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.5 to 100 ng/ml for each isomer of metoprolol and 1 to 100 ng/ml for each isomer of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol (IIA & IIB). The mean intra-run accuracies were in the range of 96.2 to 114% for R-metoprolol, 94.0 to 111% for S-metoprolol, 90.2 to 110% for IIA, and 94.6 to 106% for IIB. The mean intra-run precisions were all in the range of 2.2 to 12.0% for R-metoprolol, 2.1 to 11.1% for S-metoprolol, 1.9 to 14.5% for IIA, and 3.2 to 11.0% for IIB. The lowest level of quantitation for the enantiomers of metoprolol was 0.5 ng/ml and 1.0 ng/ml for alpha-hydroxymetoprolol (IIA and IIB). The absolute recoveries for each analyte was > or = 95%. The validated method accurately quantitated the enantiomers of parent drug and metabolite after a single dose of an extended release metoprolol formulation.

Abstract
Direct enantioselective separation on chiral stationary phases and indirect separation based on the formation of diastereomeric derivatives were developed and compared for the HPLC analysis of R(+) and S(-)-metoprolol in human plasma. Plasma samples prepared using solid-phase extraction columns or liquid-liquid extraction were directly analyzed on a Chiralpack AD or on a Chiralcel OD-H columns, respectively. S-(-)-menthyl choroformate was also used to yield diastereomeric derivatives resolved on a RP-8 column. The methods were employed to determine plasma concentrations of metoprolol enantiomers in a pharmacokinetic study of single dose administration of racemic metoprolol to a healthy Caucasian volunteer phenotyped as extensive metabolizer of debrisoquine. The correlation coefficients among enantioselective metoprolol plasma concentrations (5-223 ng/ml) obtained by the three methods were equal or higher than 0.99. The direct method that employed the chiral column Chiralpak AD may be considered the most sensitive, although the three methods demonstrated interchangeable use in the pharmacokinetic investigation.

Abstract
(+)- and (-)-4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-2-butyl chloroformate (NAB-C) were prepared from the prochiral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent nabumetone with the aim of developing easily detectable chloroformate reagents for the enantiospecific HPLC analysis of amino compounds in biogenic matrices on achiral stationary phases. The new reagents were tested in the derivatization of beta-adrenoceptor antagonists and anti-arrhythmic agents and allowed derivatization in the presence of water. (+)- and (-)-NAB-C were compared with other reagents with a 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl moiety as a chromophore. The reagents were suitable for the analysis of nanogram amounts of, for example, metoprolol enantiomers in plasma, a prerequisite for application in pharmaco- or toxicokinetic studies.

Abstract
Enantiomers of metoprolol and its acidic metabolite H 117/04 were determined in human urine by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorometric detection after chiral derivatization. The carboxyl functional group of the major metabolite was blocked by esterification after solid-phase extraction, which helped to quantitate this compound from interfering substances. The assay method was validated. The recovery of (-)- and (+)-metoprolol from urine was 86.3-90.5%; and the recovery of the (-)- and (+)-acidic metabolite H 117/04 from urine was 74.4-83.9% at different concentrations.

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 beta 2-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 microliters samples. The limit of quantitation was 0.025-0.4 micrograms/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 micrograms rac-drug/ml) was 4-8% for the different enantiomers.

Abstract
The direct optical resolution of the vesicular acetylcholine uptake inhibitors vesamicol and benzovesamicol and nine benzovesamicol analogues were performed by HPLC on a commercially available cellulose tris(3,5-di-methylphenyl carbamate) chiral stationary phase. Separation of each enantiomeric pair was optimized with respect to solvent strength and flow-rate, using mobile phase mixtures of hexane-2-propanol-diethylamine. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of the optical purity of benzovesamicol intermediates and products, including (-)-5-[123I]iodobenzovesamicol which is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a tracer for mapping central cholinergic neurons, and the purification of both antipodes of (+/-)-7-[125I]iodobenzovesamicol.

Abstract
The recent developments in enantioselective HPLC-separation techniques are impressive and are driven by industrial and academic interests; thus there is for instance a high demand for developing stereoselective assays for chiral drugs in biological fluids. The beta-blocking agents, which possess an amino-propanol- or -ethanol side chain with at least one chiral centre, represent one of the most intensively investigated groups of more than 40 drugs introduced world wide. Seven of the most popular beta-blockers were chosen as representatives: atenolol; betaxolol; carvedilol; metoprolol; pindolol; propranolol; and sotalol, these span the whole range of lipophilicity to hydrophilicity (polarity). Enantioselective HPLC bioassays for these beta-blockers published so far, including techniques based on chiral derivatizing agents (CDAs), chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and chiral mobile phase additives (CMPAs) have been reviewed and documented in the light of general aspects together with pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations.

Abstract
Over 100 chromatographic procedures for the separation of beta-blocker enantiomers are reviewed including a large number for the analysis of biological samples. All the principal chiral chromatographic procedures have found use, namely Chiral Mobile Phase Additives (CMPA), Chiral Derivatization Agents (CDA) and Chiral Stationary Phases (CSP). Chiral Mobile Phase Additives are less frequently employed than the other two procedures and many of the earlier methods were based on the use of CDAs. However, the recent development of sophisticated custom-made CSPs has allowed the separation of native (underivatized) analytes and this approach appears to be gaining in popularity. The beta-blockers are an extensive group of drugs and stereoselective separations have been reported for 40 different structures.

Abstract
The plasma concentrations of metoprolol enantiomers have been determined by means of a direct phenyl carbamate-cellulose-based chiral high performance liquid chromatography assay using fluorimetric detection. This assay has been used to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of metoprolol enantiomers in the conscious goat. There is evidence that the pharmacokinetics of metoprolol in the goat occurs stereoselectively and that enantiomer-enantiomer pharmacokinetic interactions occur. R-Metoprolol is less effective in reducing the mean arterial blood pressure than S- and R/S-metoprolol.

Abstract
The two enantiomers of metoprolol and the four enantiomeric forms of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol were separated by liquid chromatography on a Chiralcel OD column containing a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethyl-phenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase. The column efficiency was strongly dependent on the flow-rate and the enantioselectivity was influenced by temperature. Of utmost importance for the chiral separation was the water content of the mobile organic phase. The separation system was used for the separation and determination of the enantiomers in plasma and urine samples. The metoprolol enantiomers could be determined by fluorescence down to 10 nmol/l of each in plasma with a relative standard deviation of less than 15%.

Abstract
A method is described by which underivatized metoprolol enantiomers in plasma can be quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Samples are prepared for injection using a simple solid-phase extraction procedure which is essentially 100% efficient for all analytes. The metoprolol enantiomers are resolved using a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase and a hexane-ethanol-diethylamine mobile phase. Samples were tested for adaptability to autoinjection and found to be stable for at least 16 h after reconstitution in mobile phase. The automated method was determined to be precise and accurate for enantiomer concentrations as low as 10 ng base per ml and was successfully employed in a pharmacokinetic investigation.

Abstract
The determination of beta-blockers has posed pharmaceutical analysts with a variety of problems arising from the essential characteristics of these compounds as bases and the variability of physicochemical properties of individual drugs. Liquid chromatography has become the favoured method of analysis and to a certain extent there is a standardised approach to analysis based on either solvent or solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to fluorescence detection. The analyst must be aware of interactions occurring during extraction stages. All manipulations should be fully evaluated for individual drugs and metabolites prior to use. Other analytical options are chosen for specific or more demanding applications. The use of unmodified silicas for the liquid chromatography of beta-blockers (and other basic drugs) is an example of a potential alternative mode of chromatography. The stereoselectivity of the pharmacology of beta-blockers has spawned a great deal of literature describing the resolution of enantiomers by chromatographic methods. It is envisaged that this area will achieve greater prominence in the future as drug development pursues optical purity. The demand for the availability of enantiomerically pure pharmaceutical preparations will certainly see developments for preparative-scale separations as well as analytical methods and will surely promote developments in new and established methods of chromatography.

Abstract
Metoprolol is a lipophilic, cardioselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent commercially available as a racemic compound. A normal phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to directly determine individual enantiomeric concentrations of metoprolol in human serum. Separation of the enantiomers was accomplished by a cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase. Metoprolol enantiomers were detected by means of fluorescence with excitation and emission wavelengths of 275 and 315 nm, respectively. Standard curves were linear over the concentration range 12.5-400 ng/ml for each enantiomer. Within-day coefficient of variation was less than 15% at all concentrations and the between-day coefficient of variation ranged from 4.1 to 11.2%. The limit of detection was determined to be 5 ng/ml for each enantiomer and the stereoselective resolution (alpha) of R- and S-metoprolol was 3.08. The assay was employed to determine enantiomeric serum concentrations of metoprolol in healthy male volunteers.
