title: Enantiomeric separation of beta-blockers by HPLC using (R)-1-naphthylglycine and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid as chiral stationary phase.
abstract: Direct liquid chromatographic separations of the enantiomers of metoprolol and bisoprolol have been developed, using (R)-1-naphthylglycine and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid as chiral stationary phase (CSP). The separations were achieved in a normal phase system employing a mobile phase containing n-hexane, 1,2-dichloroethane and methanol. Column efficiency was strongly dependent on the composition of the mobile phase. The eluent contents of methanol and of 1,2-dichloroethane were optimized, and so was flow-rate and column temperature. Under the optimal conditions, linear responses for (R)-metoprolol and (S)-metoprolol are obtained in the range of 0.079-1.38 and 0.015-5.80 mg/ml, with detection limits of 0.008 and 0.002 mg/ml, respectively. As for bisoprolol, the linear ranges of (R)-isomer and (S)-isomer are 0.05-1.31 and 0.02-1.00 mg/ml with detection limits of 0.001 and 0.008 mg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of each enantiomer did not exceed 0.90%. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of enantiomers in pharmaceuticals.
