Abstract
Enantioselective analysis of chiral drugs plays a significant role in chemistry, biology and pharmacology. Baclofen, an antispasmodic chiral drug, has been widely studied due to the obvious differences in toxicity and medical activity between enantiomers. Herein, a simple and efficient method for separation of baclofen enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis was established without complicated sample derivatization and expensive instruments. Then, the molecular modeling and density functional theory were used to simulate and investigate the chiral resolution mechanism of electrophoresis, the calculated intermolecular forces were directly presented by visualization softwares. Moreover, the theoretical and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra of ionized baclofen were compared, and the configuration of dominant enantiomer in the nonracemic mixture can be determined by ECD signal intensity, which was proportional to the electrophoresis peak area difference of the corresponding enantiomer excess experiments. In this way, the peak order identification and configuration quantification of baclofen enantiomers in electrophoretic separation were successfully achieved without relying on a single standard.

Abstract
Baclofen is a racemic mixture that is commonly used for the treatment for spasticity. However, the optimal dose and dosing interval to achieve effective cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of baclofen are not known. Moreover, it is unclear if there are differences in the ability of R- or S-baclofen to cross the blood–brain barrier and achieve effective CSF concentrations. We have validated a liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with improved selectivity and sensitivity for the simultaneous quantitation of R- and S-baclofen and metabolites in plasma and CSF. Protein precipitation by acetonitrile was utilized to obtain an acceptable recovery of the analytes. The detection and separation of analytes was achieved on a 48 °C-heated Crownpak CR(+) column (150 mm × 4.0 mm, 5μ) with elution using 0.4% formic acid (FA) in water and 0.4% FA in acetonitrile as the mobile phase running at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Accurate quantitation was assured by using this MS/MS method with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Therefore, this method is enantioselective, accurate, precise, sensitive, reliable, and linear from 1 to 1500 ng/mL for baclofen and 2 to 4000 ng/mL for the metabolites. An additional method was developed to separate racemic baclofen 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4 hydroxybutyric acid metabolites for individual concentration determination. Both validated methods were successfully applied to a clinical pharmacokinetic human plasma and CSF study evaluating the disposition of baclofen and metabolites.

Abstract
The chiral separation of baclofen (Bac) was obtained by nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS) using a 100 μm I.D. fused silica capillary column packed with silica particles chemically modified with vancomycin. Various experimental parameters, such as composition (buffer concentration, water content, organic modifier) and pH of the mobile phase and sample solvent were investigated for method optimization. In order to increase the sensitivity an on-column focusing procedure was applied. Acceptable separation of Bac enantiomers was obtained in less than 11 min eluting in isocratic mode, with 90:10 MeOH/water (v/v) containing 10 mM ammonium acetate at pH 4.5. These optimized experimental conditions were applied to the analysis of human plasma samples spiked with racemic mixture of Bac. The use of a Buckypaper disc as sorbent membrane allows one to recover both enantiomers with yields ≥ 65%. The method was fully validated, following the identification criteria of the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and fully validated method was developed for the quantification of baclofen in human plasma. After adjusting the pH of the plasma samples using a phosphate buffer solution (pH 4), baclofen was purified using mixed mode (C8/cation exchange) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. Endogenous water-soluble compounds and lipids were removed from the cartridges before the samples were eluted and concentrated. The samples were analyzed using triple-quadrupole liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) with triggered dynamic multiple reaction monitoring mode for simultaneous quantification and confirmation. The assay was linear from 25 to 1,000 ng/mL (r(2) > 0.999; n = 6). Intraday (n = 6) and interday (n = 15) imprecisions (% relative standard deviation) were <5%, and the average recovery was 30%. The limit of detection of the method was 5 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification was 25 ng/mL. Plasma samples from healthy male volunteers (n = 9, median age: 22) given two single oral doses of baclofen (10 and 60 mg) on nonconsecutive days were analyzed to demonstrate method applicability.

Abstract
The enantioseparation of baclofen (4-amino-3-p-chlorophenylbutyric acid) was achieved by CE-LIF with highly sulfated beta-CD (HS-beta-CD) as chiral selector. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde was used for the derivatization of nonfluorescent baclofen. HS-beta-CD (2%) containing 50 mM borate buffer at pH 9.5 was chosen as the optimal running electrolyte and applied to the analysis of baclofen enantiomers in human plasma. The linearity of calibration curves (R2 > or = 0.998) for R-(-) and S-(+)-baclofen was in the 0.1-2.0 microM concentration range. After a simple ACN-protein precipitation, the LOD of baclofen in plasma sample was found as low as 50 nM.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method to determine the enantiomers of the muscle relaxant baclofen in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been developed. A commercially available ultrafiltration membrane is used to prepare the sample. A chiral CROWNPAK CR(+) stationary phase column is then used to perform complete resolution of the S(+)- and R(-)-enantiomers of baclofen. This method was used to analyze human plasma and CSF spiked with baclofen, and the calibration curves for both biologic samples were linear over a concentration range of 0.15-150 ng enantiomer/ml. The lower limit of quantification was 0.15 ng enantiomer/ml in both fluids. Finally, the method was tested with an artificial CSF as an alternative to authentic human CSF. The results showed that no matrix effects and no interfering peaks were observed using this artificial CSF.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic method with laser-induced fluorescence detection for baclofen (4-amino-3-p-chlorophenylbutyric acid) has been developed. 6-Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester was used for precolumn derivatization of the non-fluorescent drug. Optimal separation and detection were obtained with an electrophoretic buffer of 50 mM sodium borate (pH 9.5) and an air-cooled argon-ion laser (excitation at 488 nm, emission at 520 nm). Linearity (r > or = 0.99) over three orders of magnitude was generally obtained and the lowest derivatizable concentration limit for baclofen in aqueous solution was 10 nM (2 ng baclofen/ml). Coupled with a simple clean up procedure, the method can be applied to the analysis of baclofen in human plasma at micromolar level. Recovery of spiked baclofen in plasma was 95%. The relative standard deviation values on peak size (0.5 microM level) and migration time were 8.2 and 1.0% (n=7), respectively. The limit of detection of baclofen in plasma was 0.1 microM (21 ng/ml).

A fatal suicidal intoxication with unusual drugs is reported. A 56-year-old man was found dead in his house; near by the corpse several empty drugs boxes were found. An autopsy was performed and the biological fluids were submitted to a full toxicological work-up. The analytical results supported the hypothesis of a death due to the acute baclofen (4-amino-3-(p-chlorophenyl)butyric acid) and dipyrone (sodium [N-(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenylpyrazolin-4-yl)-N-methylamino] methanesulfonate) intoxication.

Abstract
An enantioselective method for baclofen (4-amino-3-p-chlorophenylbutyric acid) based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection has been developed. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) was used for precolumn derivatization of the nonfluorescent drug. alpha-Cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) was included in the buffer as a chiral selector for the separation of NDA-labeled S-(+)- and R-(-)-baclofen. Optimal resolution and detection were obtained with an electrophoretic buffer of 50 mM sodium borate (pH 9.5) containing 7 mM alpha-CD and a He-Cd laser (lambda ex = 442 nm, lambda em = 500 nm). Combined with a simple cleanup procedure, this method can be applied to the analysis of baclofen enantiomers in human plasma. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values on peak areas of a plasma sample containing 1.0 microM racemic baclofen were 6.4 and 4.9% (n = 8) for the S-(+)- and R-(-)-enantiomer, respectively. The RSD value on migration times of both enantiomers was 0.5% (n = 8). Calibration graphs for S-(+)- and R-(-)-baclofen in plasma showed a good linearity (r > or = 0.999) in the concentration range of 0.1-2.0 microM. The limit of detection of baclofen in plasma was about 10 ng/mL.

Abstract
Chiral HPLC methods were developed and validated for tiagabine.HCl and its two chiral precursors to determine the chiral purity of the three compounds to ensure the quality of the final product which is used as a new antiepileptic drug. Tiagabine.HCl was derivatized with 1-napthalenemethylamine and was chromatographed on a Pirkle type phenyl glycine column with a mobile phase of 69:31, 0.1 M ammonium acetateacetonitrile (v/v). The two chiral precursors were chromatographed on a Chiralcel-OG column with a mobile phase of hexane, isopropanol etc. Each of the three HPLC methods have a selectivity factor (alpha) of 1-2 or higher. The validation of the methods was done by conducting standard addition and recovery studies of the S(+)-enantiomers in the samples. The %RSD of all three methods were < 5 with a limit of quantification of 0.05% (peak area) or lower. By using these methods, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of pH, temperature, and trace levels of transition metals such as Fe3+, Co2+, and Ni2+ on the conversion of R(-)-enantiomer to the S(+)-enantiomer of tiagabine.HCl and its two chiral precursors. The results of this study demonstrated that the two chiral precursors of tiagabine.HCl under reflux conditions are more sensitive to chiral inversion than tiagabine.HCl. Under reflux conditions, in the presence of trace metal ions and different pH, approximately 10, 11, and 1% of the R(-)-enantiomer was converted to the S(+)-enantiomer for ethyl nipecotate, ethylester of tiagabine, and tiagabine.HCl, respectively. However, at room temperature, tiagabine.HCl appears to be less chirally stable than its two chiral precursors. Approximately 0.4% R(-)-enantiomer of tiagabine.HCl was converted to the S(+)-enantiomer at room temerature and acidic conditions. Under similar conditions, the S(+)-enantiomer of ethyl nipecotate and ethylester of tiagabine.HCl was < 0.05%. The initial S(+)-enantiomer content for all three compounds was < 0.1%.

Abstract
Tiagabine x HCl is being developed as an anti-convulsant/anti-epileptic agent for seizure disorders. The pharmacological activity of the R-(-)-enantiomer is higher than that of the S-(+)-enantiomer. Therefore, the drug is synthesized in the pure R-(-)-enantiomeric form. The enantiomers of tiagabine x HCl were separated on a modified cellulose stationary phase (Chiralcel-OD) with a mobile phase of hexane-isopropanol-ethanol (80:14:06, v/v/v). Approximately 5 ml of trifluoroacetic acid was added for each liter of the mobile phase mixture. The method is capable of separating the two enantiomers with a selectivity factor of 1.55 and a resolution factor of 3.4. The samples of tiagabine x HCl were monitored by a UV detector at 260 nm. The method was validated by conducting standard addition and recovery of the S-(+)-enantiomer in tiagabine x HCl. The R.S.D. of the method is 3.2%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the S-(+)-enantiomer present in tiagabine x HCl is about 0.03%.

Abstract
An isocratic reversed-phase column liquid chromatographic assay for baclofen was developed. Prior to analysis, derivatization of urine or deproteinized plasma with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-CI) reagent was employed. After solid-phase extraction on a small silica gel column, the mixture was chromatographed on a 10 microns Bondapak C18 column using methanol-water (45 + 55 v/v) as the mobile phase. The NBD-baclofen derivative was detected spectrofluorimetrically by monitoring the emission at 524 nm with excitation at 463 nm. The method was tested for suitability in routine analysis. After a single oral dose of 20 mg of baclofen, the plasma concentration and the cumulative urinary excretion of the drug were determined. The average recoveries were 99.5 and 98.5% for plasma and urine, respectively.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical enantiomers often exhibit different pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. Stereospecific chromatographic assays are available to separate these stereoisomers. Therapeutic agents often contain chemical functional groups (e.g. amino, hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxylic acid). These can be reacted with enantiomerically pure reagents to give diastereoisomers suitable for analysis on achiral gas chromatographic (GC) and high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) columns. Alternatively, derivatized or underivatized drugs may be resolved on chiral chromatographic phases. A wide variety of GC (e.g. amino acid, cyclodextrin, and metal-complex) and HPLC (mobile phase additive, crown ether, pi-pi interaction and related phases, protein, cyclodextrin, polysaccharide, methacrylate and amide polymer, and ligand exchange) columns are commercially available. This article reviews the chromatographic separation of enantiomers.

Abstract
The importance of the role of analysis of drugs and other toxic substances in biological samples (bioanalysis) in medicine, toxicology, pharmacology, forensic science, environmental research and other biomedical disciplines is self-evident. Among these disciplines, bioanalysis plays a special pivotal role in pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetic parameters, such as half-life, volume of distribution, clearance and bioavailability, of drugs and other compounds are derived from the concentrations of these analytes assayed in the biological samples collected at specified time points. The capability of analysts to develop sensitive and specific analytical methods for the assay of low concentrations of drugs and other toxic compounds in small amounts of biological samples has contributed significantly to the theoretical advances in pharmacokinetics and its applications in clinical pharmacology and the management of drug therapy in patients. The increased demands for pharmacokinetic applications in turn have stimulated the innovation and improvement in bioanalytical technologies. The reliability of the pharmacokinetic conclusions depends on the accuracy and precision of the analytical methods employed to assay the biological samples. Factors that affect the integrity of the bioanalytical data should therefore be controlled in analysis of biological samples for pharmacokinetics studies. The biological samples for drug concentration determination should be collected as specified in the study protocol with respect to the time and site of sampling. These samples should be processed to avoid extraneous interactions between the analytes and sampling devices or additives resulting in the redistribution of the analytes between components of the biological samples, such as displacement of drug binding and changes in the distribution of the analytes between plasma and red blood cells. The stability of the drugs and other analytes in the samples should also be evaluated to establish the conditions suitable for the transportation and storage of the samples to avoid chemical, photochemical and enzymatic degradation of the analytes. Various technologies have been utilized to assay biological samples for pharmacokinetic studies. The most frequently used are chromatography (high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and thin-layer chromatography), immunoassays and mass spectrometry.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
