title: Stereoselective determination of propafenone enantiomers in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cells expressing human cytochrome P450.
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.
