Abstract
The stereoselective hydrolysis of esmolol in whole blood and in its separated components from rat, rabbit and human was investigated. Blood esterase activities were variable in different species in the order of rat>rabbit>human. Rat plasma showed the high esterase activity and had no stereoselectivity to enantiomers. Rabbit red blood cell (RBC) membrane, RBC cytosol and plasma all hydrolyzed esmolol but with different esterase activity, whereas the hydrolysis in RBC membrane and cytosol showed significant stereoselectivity towards R-(+)-esmolol. Esterase in RBC cytosol from human blood mainly contributed to the esmolol hydrolysis, which was demonstrated with no stereoselctivity. Esterase in human plasma showed a low activity, but a remarkable stereoselectivity with R-(+)-esmolol. In addition, the protein concentration affected the hydrolysis behavior of esmolol in RBC suspension. Protein binding of esmolol enantiomers in human plasma, human serum albumin (HSA) and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) revealed that there was a significant difference in bound fractions between two enantiomers, especially for AGP. Our results indicated that the stereoselective protein binding might play a role in the different hydrolysis rates of esmolol enantiomers in human plasma.

Abstract
Mandelic acid (MA) is generally used as a biological indicator of occupational exposure to styrene, which is classified as a class of hazardous environmental pollutants. It was found to undergo one-directional chiral inversion (S-MA to R-MA) in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats in vivo. This study was aimed to explore the metabolic mechanism of chiral inversion of S-MA in vitro. S-MA was converted to R-MA in rat hepatocytes, whereas MA enantiomers remained unchanged in acidic and neutral phosphate buffers, HepG2 cells, and intestinal flora. In addition, the synthesized S-MA-CoA thioester was rapidly racemized and hydrolyzed to R-MA by rat liver homogenate and S9, cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. The data suggest that chiral inversion of S-MA may involve the hydrolysis of S-MA-CoA, and its metabolic mechanism could be the same as that of 2-arylpropionic acid (2-APA) drugs.

Abstract
The inhibiting effect of diphenytriazol, a non-hormonal early pregnancy-terminating agent, towards cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in rat liver microsomes was studied in vitro. The inhibiting effect of diphenytriazol on CYP was investigated by coincubating diphenytriazol with the specific CYP1A substrates, ethoxyresorufin and phenacetin, in microsome induced by beta-naphthoflavone, with the specific CYP2B substrates, pentoxyresorufin and aminopyrine, in the microsome induced by phenobarbital, and with the specific CYP3A substrates, diazepam, testosterone, nifedipine and quinine sulfate in microsome induced by dexamethasone. The results showed that diphenytriazol inhibited the metabolism of ethoxyresorufin and phenacetin significantly, and its inhibition potential on CYP1A was higher than the typical inhibitor fluvoxamine. Diphenytriazol also inhibited the metabolism of diazepam, testosterone, nifedipine and quinine sulfate to different degrees, but its inhibition potential was relatively weaker than that of the typical inhibitor, ketoconazole. No inhibiting effect of diphenytriazol was seen on the metabolism of pentoxyresorufin and aminopyrine. The ability of diphenytriazol to inhibit rat liver CYP1A and CYP3A suggests that in human patients complex interactions may result from co-adiministration of diphenytriazol with other agents which are also substrates for CYP1A or CYP3A enzymes.

Abstract
Ginkgolic acids have been shown to possess allergenic as well as genotoxic and cytotoxic properties. The question arises whether the metabolism of ginkgolic acids in the liver could decrease or increase their toxicity. In this study, the in vitro metabolism of ginkgolic acid (15:1, GA), one component of ginkgo acids, was investigated as a model compound in Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes. The metabolites were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector/negative-ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-PDA/ESI-MS/MS) and hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange. The result showed that the benzene ring remained unchanged and the oxidations occurred at the side alkyl chain in rat liver microsomes. At least eight metabolites were found. Among them, six phase I metabolites were tentatively identified. This study might be useful for the investigation of toxicological mechanism of ginkgolic acids.

Abstract
An RP-HPLC method for determination of luteolin from Elsholtzia blanda Benth. extracts in rats' plasma was established and the pharmacokinetics of luteolin in rats was studied. Drug blood samples from caudal vein were gotten after oral administration of luteolin. Plasma samples were determined by RP-HPLC after being deproteinized with trichloroacetic acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.37-47.27 microg x mL(-1). The limit of quantification was 0.37 microg x mL(-1). The method recovery of luteolin was 93%-99%. The extract recovery was 75%-85%. RSDs of intra-and inter-day precisions were less than 5%. The concentration-time curve of luteolin after oral administration of Elsholtzia blanda Benth. extracts was fitted to two compartment open model. Two factors analysis of variance were adopted in the evaluation of gender and time spots for collection of blood. The result suggested that the gender-based difference in blood-drug concentrations had statistical significance. The metabolite in blood was identified as galcuronide. The method is sensitive, specific, accurate, and is appropriate for determination of luteolin in vivo.

Abstract
The paper summarizes the interactions between luteolin (glucosides) and drug-metabolizing enzyme from the literature of recent years and our research work. The metabolism of luteolin is chiefly mediated by phase II metabolic enzyme. Its glucosides are firstly hydrolyzed into aglycone in intestinal tract, and then absorbed and metabolized. Luteolin has the effect on the induction of CYP3A, and on the inhibition of CYPIA, 1B and 2E. Also, luteolin is an effective inhibitor of CYP2B6, CYP2C9 and CYP2D6. Luteolin can induce and inhibit UGTs and SULTs. It can also inhibit multi ABC transport proteins. Understanding the interactions between luteolin (glucosides) and drug-metabolizing enzyme has an important significance in guiding clinical use of the drug.

Abstract
In vitro phase I metabolism of BYZX, a novel central-acting cholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, was studied in human liver microsomes (HLM) and the metabolite formation pathways were investigated by chemical inhibition experiments and correlation analysis. The residual concentration of substrate and the metabolite formed in incubate were determined by HPLC method. The calibration curves of BYZX were linear over the concentration range from 5.07 microM to 200.74 microM. The relative standard deviations of within day and between day were less than 5% (n=5). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.18 microg/mL (S/N=3) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.55 microg/mL (R.S.D.=5.2%, n=5). The determination recoveries of BYZX were in the range of 98.2-104.8%. The apparent K(m) of BYZX in HLM was 53.25+/-17.2 microM, the V(max) was 0.94+/-0.77 microM/min/mg protein, and the intrinsic clearance value (Cl(int)) was 0.018+/-0.02 mL/min/mg protein. Ketoconazole and cyclosporin A were the most potent inhibitors on BYZX metabolism in HLM with IC(50) being 0.89 microM and 18.17 microM, respectively. And the inhibition constant (K(i)) of ketoconazole was 0.42 microM. The metabolite of BYZX was N-des-ethyl-BYZX elucidated by LC-MS-MS. The results demonstrated that the developed HPLC method was reliability, simple technique, and was applicable to be used for the researches of in vitro metabolism of BYZX. CYP3A4 was the major isozyme responsible for BYZX metabolism; N-dealkylation was the major metabolic pathway of BYZX. The predominant metabolite of BYZX was N-des-ethyl-BYZX detected in vitro phase I metabolism in HLM.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the separation of the enantiomers of tolterodine tartarate. The proposed method was applied to the determination of (S)-isomer in (R)-tolterodine tartarate, and satisfactory results were obtained. The enantiomers of tolterodine tartarate were separated on a Chiralpak AD-H (250 mm x 4.6 mm) column containing amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) at room temperature. The mobile phase consisted of n-hexane and isopropyl alcohol in the ratio of 85:15 (v/v) with 0.075% triethylamine (TEA) and 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as the additive. The flow rate was kept at 0.5 ml/min, and UV detection wavelength was set at 283 nm. The calibration curves of (S)-enantiomer in the concentration range from 0.05 microg/ml to 1 microg/ml range were linear. The relative standard deviations of within-day and between-day were less than 2% (n = 3). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.75 ng (S/N = 3) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.05 microg/ml (RSD < 4.1%, n = 3). The determination recoveries of the (S)-enantiomer were in the range of 98.2-104.8%. The results demonstrated that the developed HPLC method was a reliable, simple technique and was applicable to the purity determination of (R)- tolterodine tartarate.

Abstract
The oral uptake of zolmitriptan, a novel and highly selectively 5-HT 1B/1D receptor agonist, was evaluated in the human epithelial cell line caco-2 that possesses intestinal enterocyte-like properties when cultured in vitro. The study demonstrated that zolmitriptan uptake significantly depended upon the extracelluar temperature and pH in the Caco-2 cell. The zolmitriptan uptake at 39 degrees C was 2.1 fold as that at 23 degrees C and the zolmitriptan uptake at pH 8.0 was 2.7 fold as that at pH 6.0. The uptake rates of zolmitriptan on both sides increased with increasing zolmitriptan concentration from 0.1 to 10 mmol x L(-1), and it shows concave concentration-dependency at high concentration. The uptake rates of zolmitriptan on the basolateral side (BL) were 3-7 times higher than that on the apical side (AP). Verapamil, nimodipine, nifedipine, flunarizine, amiloride and sumatriptan significantly increased the uptake rates of zolmitriptan on the apical sides. Propafenone significantly inhibited the uptake rate of zolmitriptan on both sides. Propranolol and aspirin have no significant effect. The results indicated that the zolmitriptan uptake in Caco-2 cells was temperature, pH and concentration dependent, and was partially counteracted by the action of an outwardly directed efflux pump, presumably p-glycoprotein. Absorption interactions should be considered when P-gp substrates or inhibitors, Na+ -H+ exchange inhibitors, P-gp ATPase agonists or inhibitors are co-administered with zomitriptan in clinical practice.

Abstract
Rutin deca(H-) sulfate sodium (RDS) is one of the most important drug candidates, which possesses very good activity as inhibitor of the complement system of warm-blooded animals and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In order to understand RDS metabolism and disposition, an ion-pairing coupled with solid-phase extraction technique (IP-SPE) was developed to extract RDS from rat plasma sample. Tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) buffer (0.2 M, pH 8.0) was used as the ion-pairing extraction reagent and LC-18 was used as SPE sorbent. In addition, an ion-pairing HPLC method was established for the specific determination of RDS. A reversed phase C8 column was used for the separation of RDS and nitrendipine (internal standard). The mobile phase was composed of 10 mM phosphate buffer solution containing 25 mM TBAB-acetonitrile (52:48, v/v, pH 7.5). The calibration curve was linear from 0.3 to 30 nmol/mL. The analytical recovery from rat plasma was found to be 97.9+/-4.1% (n = 15). LOD and LOQ for RDS in plasma were calculated to be 0.12 nmol/mL and 0.30+/-0.024 nmol/mL (R.S.D. = 8.2%, n = 5), respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 9.2%. The assay was applied to a preliminary pharmacokinetic study in three male rats after those received a single intravenous bolus via caudal vein of 12 micromol/kg RDS.

Abstract
AIM To observe the metabolic interaction between diphenytriazol and steroid hormone drugs, and provide some useful information for clinical medication. METHODS The steroid hormone drugs which may be co-administrated with diphenytriazol were selected, such as mifepriston, estradiol, medroxyprogesterone acetate, progesterone, norethisterone and so on. Diphenytriazol was incubated with each drug in rat liver microsome. The residual concentration of diphenytriazol or steroid hormone drugs in the microsomal incubates was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, separately. The inhibition constants (K(i)) for each of them were calculated. RESULTS The inhibition constant K(is) of diphenytriazol for the metabolism of mifepristone, estradiol, medroxyprogesterone acetate, progesterone and norethisterone were (201.3 +/- 1.0), (94 +/- 4), (128.7 +/- 2.2), (64 +/- 5) and (80 +/- 4) micromol x L(-1), respectively. The inhibition constants K(i) of steroid hormone drugs for the metabolism of diphenytriazol was (66.9 +/- 2.2) micromol x L(-1) for estradiol, (60.0 +/- 2.3) micromol x L(-1) for medroxyprogesterone acetate, (163 +/- 10) micromol x L(-1) for progesterone and (88 +/- 5) micromol x L(-1) for norethisterone, respectively. CONCLUSION Diphenytriazol shows metabolism interaction with steroid hormone drugs such as estradiol, medroxyprogesterone acetate, progesterone and norethisterone.

Abstract
The total luteolin content in Elsholtzia blanda Benth. extracts (EBBE) was determined using reversed phase HPLC. C18 was used as the packing material and 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 2)-tetrahydrofuran-isopropanol (70:30:5) as the mobile phase with detection wavelength 360 nm. The recovery of the method was 96.4%-101.8%, and the assay was linear at concentrations from 5 to 200 microg/ml (r = 0.9999). The results indicated that the content of luteolin in EBBE extracted under different conditions varied significantly. This method can be used to optimize the extraction procedure and determine the content of luteolin in Elsholtzia blanda Benth. extracts.

Abstract
A stereoselective RP-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay to determine simultaneously the enantiomers of esmolol and its acid metabolite in human plasma was developed. The method involved a solid-phase extraction and a reversed-phase chromatographic separation with UV detection (lambda = 224 nm) after chiral derivatization. 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GITC) was employed as a pre-column chiral derivatization reagent. The assay was linear from 0.09 to 8.0 microg/ml for each enantiomer of esmolol and 0.07-8.0 microg/ml for each enantiomer of the acid metabolite. The absolute recoveries for all enantiomers were >73%. The intra- and inter-day variations were <15%. The validated method was applied to quantify the enantiomers of esmolol and its metabolite in human plasma for hydrolysis studies.

Abstract
Ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) was used to separate two polysulfonates, rutin nona(H-) sulfonate sodium and rutin deca(H-) sulfonate sodium, which have very similar chemical structures. The final product always contained both of them when one of the compounds was synthesized. Baseline separation was achieved on a C8-bonded silica column at ambient temperature. The eluent was acetonitrile-15 mM phosphate buffer solution containing 20 mM TBA (pH 6.0) (46:54, v/v). The calibration plot was linear in the concentration range 0.5-200 microg ml(-1) for both analytes. The limits of detection (LODs; 254 nm) were 0.03 microg ml(1-) for rutin nona(H-) sulfonate sodium and 0.04 microg ml(-1) for rutin deca(H-) sulfonate sodium. Three batches of rutin deca(H-) sulfonate sodium were analyzed using the assay; the results showed that the analytical performance is really satisfactory.

Abstract
A stereoselective reversed-phase HPLC assay to determine S-(-) and R-(+) enantiomers of esmolol in human plasma was developed. The method involved liquid-liquid extraction of esmolol from human plasma, using S-(-)-propranolol as the internal standard, and employed 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate as a pre-column chiral derivatization reagent. The derivatized products were separated on a 5-microm reversed-phase C18 column with a mixture of acetonitrile/0.02 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) (55:45, v/v) as mobile phase. The detection of esmolol derivatives was made at lambda=224 nm with UV detector. The assay was linear from 0.035 to 12 microg/ml for each enantiomer. The analytical method afforded average recoveries of 94.8% and 95.5% for S-(-)- and R-(+)-esmolol, respectively. For each enantiomer, the limit of detection was 0.003 microg/ml and the limit of quantification for the method was 0.035 microg/ml (RSD<14%). The reproducibility of the assay was satisfactory.

Abstract
Ten adult volunteers with an average age 28 years were given a single oral dose of six tablets of Ginkgo biloba extract. Quercetin and kaempferol in different period of human urine were determined by using RP-HPLC. The results showed the elimination rate constant k and the absorption rate constant ka of quercetin were slightly more than that of kaempferol; and the absorption half-life (t(1/2a)), the elimination half-life (t(1/2)) and t(max) of quercetin were less than that of kaempferol, the differences were, however, not statistically significant. The mean values of ka were 0.61 h(-1) and 0.55 h(-1), t(1/2a) 1.51 h and 1.56 h, k 0.37 h(-1) and 0.30 h(-1), t(1/2) 2.17 h and 2.76 h, T(max) 2.30 h and 2.68 h for quercetin and kaempferol, respectively, which mean absorption and elimination of quercetin and kaempferol are 0.17% and 0.22%, respectively. Quercetin and kaempferol are excreted in the human urine mainly as glucuronides.

Abstract
In vitro metabolism and the inductive or inhibitive effect of DL111, a non-hormonal early pregnancy-terminating agent, toward cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in rat liver microsomes were studied. In vitro metabolism of DL111 was performed in different rat liver microsomes (pretreated with phenobarbital (PB), dexamethasone (Dex), beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), DL111, respectively) and the catalytic abilities of these microsomes for DL111 were compared with control group. DL111 was well metabolized in microsomes pretreated with beta-naphthoflavone and itself. The K(m) and V(max) was 41.76 +/- 3.26 microM and 15.34 +/- 1.03 nM min(-1) mg(-1) protein for beta-naphthoflavone group, 48.17 +/- 6.06 microM and 17.54 +/- 1.79 nM min(-1)mg(-1) protein for DL111 group, 77.81 +/- 4.73 microM and 3.087 +/- 0.202 nM min(-1)mg(-1) protein for control group, respectively. The rats were pretreated intraperitoneally with the same daily dose of DL111 for different days. The DL111-pretreated microsomal enzymatic activities were evaluated by measuring the metabolic abilities for specific substrates of various enzymes. The results showed that DL111 had the same inductive function as beta-naphthoflavone (the specific inducer of CYP1A) toward rat liver microsomes. The inhibitive effect of DL111 on CYP1A was investigated by coincubating DL111 with the specific substrates of CYP1A-ethoxyresorufin or phenacetin in the microsome induced by beta-naphthoflavone, and the inhibitive level was compared with fluvoxamine (Flu), the specific inhibitor of CYP1A. DL111 inhibited significantly the metabolism of phenacetin and ethoxyresorufin with the inhibition constant (K(i)) 6.836 +/- 0.10 and 1.222 +/- 0.230 microM, respectively and its inhibition potential on CYP1A was higher than fluvoxamine.

Abstract
Zolmitriptan is a novel and highly selective 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor agonist used as an acute oral treatment for migraine. There are few reports regarding the in vitro metabolism of zolmitriptan. Previous studies indicated zolmitriptan was metabolized via CYP1A2 in human hepatic microsomes. In order to study the enzyme kinetics and drug interaction, the metabolism of zolmitriptan and possible drug-drug interactions were investigated in rat hepatic microsomes induced with different inducers. An active metabolite, N-demethylzolmitriptan, was detected and another minor, inactive metabolite that was reported in human hepatic microsomes was not detected in this study. The enzyme kinetics for the formation of N-demethylzolmitriptan from zolmitriptan in rat liver microsomes pretreated with BNF were 96+/-22 microM (K(m)), 11+/-3 pmol min(-1)mg protein(-1) (V(max)), and 0.12+/-0.02 microl min(-1)mg protein(-1) (CL(int)). Fluvoxamine and diphenytriazol inhibited zolmitriptan N-demethylase activity catalyzed by CYP1A2 (K(i)=3.8+/-0.3 and 3.2+/-0.1 microM, respectively). Diazepam and propranolol elicited a slight inhibitory effect on the metabolism of zolmitriptan (K(i)=70+/-11 and 90+/-18 microM, respectively). Cimetidine and moclobemide produced no significant effect on the metabolism of zolmitriptan. Fluvoxamine yielded a k(inactivation) value of 0.16 min(-1), and K(i) of 57 microM. The results suggest that rat hepatic microsomes are a reasonable model to study the metabolism of zolmitriptan, although there is a difference in the amount of minor, inactive metabolites between human hepatic microsomes and rat liver microsomes. The results of the inhibition experiments provided information for the interactions between zolmitriptan and drugs co-administrated in clinic, and it is helpful to explain the drug-drug interactions of clinical relevance on enzyme level. This study aso demonstrated that fluvoxamine may be a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP1A2.

Abstract
A sensitive, simple and accurate method was developed for determination of quercetin and kaempferol in human urine by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. The urine samples were analyzed on C18 column. Quercetin and kaempferol were analyzed simultaneously with good separation. UV detector was set at 380 nm. There was a linear relationship between chromatographic area of analytes and concentration of analytes over the concentration range 1.638-81.90 and 1.872-93.60 ng/ml for quercetin and kaempferol, respectively. The recovery of the assay was 99.7+/-6.2 and 97.4+/-7.2% for quercetin and kaempferol, respectively. The within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were less than 9.7 and 16.5% (RSD), respectively. The limit of detection was 1.0 ng/ml for quercetin and 1.1 ng/ml for kaempferol. The limit of quantitation was 1.61+/-0.11 ng/ml (n=5) for quercetin and 1.85+/-0.11 ng/ml (n=5) for kaempferol. The method developed has been applied to determine quercetin and kaempferol after orally administrated tablet of Ginkgo biloba extract in human urine.

Abstract
Concentration dependency of stereoselective N-depropylation metabolism of propafenone was studied by using transgenic cell line expressing human CYP1A2. Enantiomers of propafenone and N-depropylpropafenone were separated and assayed simultaneously by RP-HPLC with precolumn GITC chiral derivatization. The experimental results showed that CYP1A2 was involved in enantioselective N-depropylation of propafenone and that the metabolic stereoselectivity depends on substrate concentration. For racemic propafenone, stereoselectivity was observed at low substrate concentration and was not seen at high substrate concentration. For individual isomers, S-(+)-propafenone was metabolized faster than its antipode at higher enantiomer concentrations and R-(-)-propafenone was eliminated faster than its antipode at lower enantiomer concentrations. There is interaction between S- and R-propafenone. R-(-)-propafenone inhibited the metabolism of S-(+)-propafenone with IC50 0.225 mmol/L for human CYP1A2.

Abstract
An enantioselective assay for S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cell lines, expressing human cytochrome P450 (CYP), was developed. The method involves extraction of propranolol from the S(9) incubates, using S-(+)-propafenone as internal standard, chiral derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-beta-D-glucopranosyl isothiocyanate and quantitation by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography system with UV detection (lambda=220 nm). A baseline separation of propranolol enantiomers was achieved on a 5-microm reverse-phase ODS column, with a mixture of methanol/water/glacial acetic acid (67:33:0.05, v/v) as mobile phase. The assay is linear from 5 to 500 microM for each enantiomer. The analytical method affords average recoveries of 99.2% and 98.8% for S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol, respectively. The limit of quantitation for the method is 5 microM for both S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol. The reproducibility of the assay is satisfactory (RSD < 10%). The method allowed study of the depletion of S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cell lines expressing CYP3A4, CYP2C18 and CYP2C9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate enantiomeric separation methods for beta-blocking agents and analogs. METHODS: Enantiomeric separation of racemates of 11 beta-blocking agents and their analogs was performed using chiral stationary phases and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GITC). RESULTS: These beta -blocker racemates were separated into enantiomers in one or several chormatographic states such as propranolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol, celiprolol, carvedilol, sotalol, propafenone, ephedrine, and zomitriptan. Temperature had a significant effect on the resolution of the drugs when using chiralcel OD. Lower temperatures were associated with higher resolutions. CONCLUSION: When separating beta-blocking agents and their analogs, Chiralcel OD, Chiralpak AD, Chiral stationary phases and GITC chiral derivative reagents have complementary functions.

Abstract
Recent literatures on enantiomer/enantiomer and enantiomer/coadministered drug interactions in pharmacokinetics were reviewed. The clinical significance of introducing the concept of stereoselectivity into pharmacokinetic interaction study cannot be overestimated, such as avoiding interaction-based adverse reactions, increasing therapeutic index, resolving the apparent anomaly in the plasma concentration-effect relationship and providing starting point of investigation into drug disposition, etc. Study in this respect should be enhanced.

Abstract
AIM: To study the influence of inducers of drug metabolism enzyme, β-naphthoflavone (BNF) and dexamethasone (DEX), on the stereoselective metabolism of propafenone in the rat hepatic microsomes.
METHODS: Phase I metabolism of propafenone was studied using the microsomes induced by BNF and DEX and the non-induced microsome was used as the control. The enzymatic kinetics parameters of propafenone enantiomers were calculated by regress analysis of Eadie-Hofstee Plots. Propafenone enantiomer concentrations were assayed by a chiral HPLC.
RESULTS: The metabolite of propafenone, N-desalkylpropafenone, was found after incubation of propafenone with the rat hepatic microsomes induced by BNF and DEX. In these two groups, the stereoselectivity favoring R (-) isomer was observed in metabolism at low substrate concentrations of racemic propafenone, but lost the stereoselectivity at high substrate concentrations. However, in control group, no stereoselectivity was observed. The enzyme kinetic parameters were: ① Km. Control group: R (-) 83 ± 6, S (+) 94 ± 7; BNF group: R (-) 105 ± 6, S (+) 128 ± 14; DEX group: R (-) 86 ± 11, S (+) 118 ± 16; ② υmax. Control group: R (-) 0.75 ± 0.16, S (+) 0.72 ± 0.07; BNF group: R (-)1.04 ± 0.15, S (+)1.0 7 ± 14; DEX group: R (-) 0.93 ± 0.06, S (+) 1.04 ± 0.09; ③ Clint. Control group: R (-) 8.9 ± 1.1, S (+) 7.6 ± 0.7; BNF group: R (-)9.9 ± 0.9, S (+)8.3 ± 0.7; DEX group: R (-) 10.9 ± 0.8, S (+) 8.9 ± 0.9. The enantiomeric differences in Km and Clint were both significant, but not in υmax, in BNF and DEX group. Whereas enantiomeric differences in three parameters were all insignificant in control group. Furthermore, Km and υ max were both significantly less than those in BNF or DEX group. In the rat liver microsome in duced by DEX, nimodipine (NDP) decreased the stereoselectivity in propafenone metabolism at low substrate concentration. The inhibition of NDP on the metabolism of propafenone was stereo selective with R (-)-isomer being impaired more than S (+)-isomer. The inhibition constant (Ki) of S (+)- and R (-)-propafenone, calculated from Dixon plots, was 15.4 and 8.6 mg•L¯¹, respectively.
CONCLUSION: CYP1A subfamily (induced by BNF) and CYP3A4 (induced by DEX) have pronounced contribution to propafenone N-desalkylation which exhibited stereose lectivity depending on substrate concentration. The molecular base for this phenomenon is the stereo selectivity in affinity of substrate to the enzyme activity centers instead of at the catalyzing sites.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the stereoselective metabolism of propafenone (PPF) by human liver CYP3A4. METHODS A chiral and an achiral HPLC were combined to determine the enantiomer of PPF in S9 incubates prepared from transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cells lines expressing CYP3A4. The time-dependent study was performed using individual enantiomer or racemate at low or high substrate concentration. Kinetic parameters were determined employing individual enantiomers as substrates. Enantiomeric inhibition experiments were performed by using R(-)-PPF as an inhibitor and S(+)-PPF as a substrate. RESULTS Stereoselectivity was found in metabolism of racemic PPF at low substrate concentration (10 mg/L) (S < R), and lost at high substrate concentration (400 mg/L) When an individual enantiomer of high concentration (200 mg/L) was used as a substrate, S(+)-PPF was eliminated faster than its isomer (S < R). However, the opposite situation was observed at low concentration (5 mg/L) (S < R). The Vmax of S(+)-PPF was significantly greater than that of R(-)-PPF [(2.66 +/- 0.32) vs (1.71 +/- 0.19) micromol . mg-1 . min-1]. The Km of R(-)-PPF was significantly lower than that of S(+)-PPF [(73 +/- 11) vs (185 +/- 17) micromol/L]. R(-)-PPF inhibited S(+)-isomer with an IC50 value of 125 micromol . L-1. CONCLUSION It is concluded that stereoselectivity in metabolism of propafenone via CYP3A4 depend on substrate concentration. Enantiomer/enantiomer interaction of PPF occurred at high concentration of substrate, and resulted in the loss of stereoselectivity. There maybe no enantiomer/enantiomer interaction at low concentration thus keeping the superiority of R(-)-PPF in metabolism.

Abstract
A chiral gas chromatographic method with FID was developed for the determination of S- and R-mephenytoin in human urine. The assay is linear from 25 to 800 ng/mL for each enantiomer and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 12 and 25ng/mL for each enantiomer, respectively. The method affords average recoveries of 74.41 +/- 3.93% and 73.78 +/- 3.02% for S- and R-mephenytoin, respectively. The method allows the phenotype study of CYP2C19 in Chinese subjects. The phenotype pattern of 90 Chinese volunteers was determined, in which 26 volunteers received phenotyping and genotyping tests. The results of phenotype analysis showed that the interindividual variation was marked. The mephenytoin S/R enantiomeric ratios in urine of 11 volunteers were > or = 0.95 and identified as poor metabolizers. The frequency of poor metabolizers was 12.2% in the Chinese subjects tested. A good relationship between phenotype and genotype analysis of CYP2C19 was observed.

Abstract
An enantioselective assay for S(+)- and R(-)-propafenone in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cells expressing human cytochrome P450 was developed. The method involved extraction of propafenone from the S9s incubates, and formation of propafenone diastereomeric derivatives with the chiral reagent 2,3,4, 6-tetra-O-beta-D-glucopranosyl isothiocyanate. Separation and quantitation of diastereomeric propafenone derivatives were carried out in a reverse-phase-HPLC system with UV detection. The assay was linear from 2 to 200 microg/mL for each enantiomer. The analytical method gave average recoveries of 97.5% and 97.0% for S(+)- and R(-)-propafenone, respectively. The limits of detection and quantitation for the method are 0.1 and 2.0 microg/mL for both S(+)- and R(-)-propafenone, respectively. The reproducibility of the assay was good (RSD <10%). The method allowed study of the depletion of S(+)- and R(-)-propafenone in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cells expressing human cytochrome P450. The stereoselectivity of propafenone phase I metabolism via cDNA-expressed CYP3A4 was observed.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the enantiomers of atenolol in rat hepatic microsome has been developed. Racemic atenolol was extracted from alkalinized rat hepatic microsome by ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated using a gentle stream of air. Atenolol racemic compound was derivatized with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glycopyranosyl isothiocyanate at 35 degrees C for 30 min to form diastereomers. After removal of excess solvent, the diastereomers were dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 4.6)-acetonitrile (50:30). The diastereomers were separated on a Shimadzu CLC-C18 column (10 microm particle size, 10 cm x 0.46 cm I.D.) with a mobile phase of phosphate buffer-methanol-acetonitrile (50:20:30, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/min. A UV-VIS detector was operated at 254 nm. For each enantiomer, the limit of detection was 0.055 microg/ml (signal-to-noise ratio 3) and the limit of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio 10) was 0.145 microg/ml (RSD <10%). In the range 0.145-20 microg/ml, intra-day coefficients of variation were 1.0-7.0% and inter-day coefficients of variation were 0.4-16.5% for each enantiomer. The assay was applied to determine the concentrations of atenolol enantiomers in rat hepatic microsome as a function of time after incubation of racemic atenolol.
