RESUMO

The increased interest in enantioselective pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of chiral drugs, aiming to establish the advantages in the production of estereochemically pure drugs, has led to the development of methods of analysis with low limits of quantification, selectivity and reproducibility, which are suitable to be used in kinetic disposition studies. On this basis, mirtazapine, a new antidepressant with estereoselective pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties but with few suitable methodologies for the separation and quantification of its enantiomers, was selected to evaluate two techniques of sample preparation. The procedure involved a classic liquid-liquid extraction and a new technique of liquid-phase microextraction using microporous polypropylene hollow fiber, both using toluene as extraction solvent. The analyses were carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography using chiral stationary phase and UV detection, at 292 nm. The chromatographic separation of (+)-(S)- e (-)-(R)- mirtazapine was performed on a Chiralpak AD column protected by a CN guard column, using hexane:ethanol (98:2, v/v) + 0.1% diethylamine as mobile phase. The mean recovery of mirtazapine enantiomers using LLE (96%) was higher than LPME (29%); in spite of this, the quantification limits have been very close, i.e, 5.0 ng mL-1 for LLE and 6.25 ng mL-1 for LPME. In precision and accuracy studies, coefficients of variation and relative errors were below 15% for all the evaluated samples in both LLE and LPME techniques. The microextraction method based on LPME proved to be more economic and less pollutant than LLE and as fast, sensible and reproducible as LLE. The two techniques of sample preparation have proved to be suitable for their application in kinetic disposition studies.
