RESUMO

The majority of the therapeutic agents, frequently prescribed, are formulated and commercialized as racemic mixture, even so for some of them, it has been demonstrated that the pharmacological and/or toxic effect are confined only to one of the enantiomer. Besides, it is well known that the enantiomers can present different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. In the present work we selected drugs belonging to two classes of clínical importance. These pharmaceuticals are widely prescribed in clinical practice such as, the beta-blockers (atenolol, metoprolol, pindoloI, betaxolol and nadolol) and the non-steroid anti-inflammatorydrugs (ibuprofen and flurbiprofen). Several references could be found in scientific literature that describes the use of high performance liquid chromatography with chiral stationary phase (HPLC-CSP) in pharmacological studies, seldom in the quantitative determination of enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulations. It is well known that the HPLC-CSP methods offer distinct advantages over classical techniques of isomeric separation and analysis, especially for the enantiomeric separation. The direct enantiomeric separation of atenolol metoprolol nadolol and betaxolol were obtained using CSP Chiralcel OD®.The enantiomers of pindolol were separate utilizing CSP α-Burke 2® and those of ibuprofen and the flurbiprofen with CSP Whelk-O 1®. In this work are presented efficient and sensitive methods for stereospecific determination of atenolol (AT), metoprolol (MT) and flurbiprofen (FLU) in pharmaceutical formulations. The stereoselective determination of atenolol and metoprolol in pharmaceuticals was performed through validated chromatographic method. The validation of liquid chromatographic methods was done utilizing a cellulose tris- 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate, Chiralcel OD®, (250x4.6 mm, 10µm)as CSP. The samples were analyzed at room temperature with injection volume of 20µL and UV detection was made at 276nm. In case of atenolol, the mobile phase was constituted of hexane:ethanol:diethylamine:acetic acid (60:40:0.2:0.2 v/v), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Separate standard curve for R-AT and S-AT showed good linearity over a concentration range from 50-130 µg/mL, with coefficient of correlation of 0.9991 and 0.998, respectively. The coefficient of variation and average recovery for R-AT in the samples A, B, C, and D were 1.15% and 101.06%; 0.74% and 99.25%; 1.05% and 102.57%; 0.84% and 101.57% respectively. The coefficient of variation and average recovery for S-AT in samples A, B, C and D were 1.33% and 98.87%; 0.99% and 100.76%; 1.17% and 101.69%; 1.26% and 100.39%, respectively. In case of metoprolol, the mobile phase was constituted of hexane:ethanol:diethylamine:acetic acid (40:60:0.2:0.2 v/v), with a flow rate of 0.8 m L/min. Separate standard curve for R-MT and S-MT showed good linearity over a concentration range fIom 30-110 µg/mL, with coefficient of correlation of 0.9988 and 0.9990, respectively. The coefficient of variation and average recovery for R-MT in sample analyzed was 0.86% and 98.62% and for S-MT was 1.40% and 99.39%, respectively. A high performance liquid chromatographic method is developed and validated for enantiomeric separation and quantitative determination of FLU in pharmaceutical preparation. A WheIk-O 1® column (250x4.6 mm, 5µm)was used as chiral stationary phase (CSP). The mobile phase was constituted of hexane:ethanol:acetic acid (95:05:0.2 v/v/v), at a flow rate of 0.9 rnL/min and UV detection at 246nm. All experiments were done at ambient temperature. The S-FLU standard curve showed linearity over a concentration range from 2-18µg/mL, (R2 = 0.9993). The coefficient of variation and average recovery of R-FLU were 0.16% and 100.13% and for S-FLU were 0.14% and 100.4%; respectively. The proposed methods permits quantitative separation of AT, MT and FLU enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulations studied with precision and accuracy. The proposed validated methods can be used in the enantiomeric quality controI of referred pharmaceutical drugs.
