title: Determination of saterinone enantiomers in plasma samples with an internal standard using a Chiralcel OD column, fractionation and reversed-phase chromatography.
abstract: A specific and validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of the S-(-) and R-(+) enantiomers of saterinone. 1-[(4-cyano-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxopyridin-5-yl)phenoxyl] -3-[4-(2- methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propan-2-ol, in plasma at the low ng/ml level. The enantiomers of saterinone and an internal standard, 1-[(4-cyano-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-pyridin-5-yl)phenoxy]-3-[4-(2- ethoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propan-2-ol, were chromatographed on a chiral Chiralcel OD stationary phase. However, the S-(-) enantiomers of saterinone and the internal standard were unresolved, as were the R-(+) enantiomers of both substances. Therefore, the two fractions were collected and each was separately resolved on an achiral Polyencap A reversed-phase column and quantified. The detection limit was 0.5 ng/ml of enantiomer, allowing the determination of plasma levels up to 36 h after oral administration of 90, 150 and 180 mg of saterinone to twelve subjects.
