title: A validated LC method for the determination of vesamicol enantiomers in human plasma using vancomycin chiral stationary phase and solid phase extraction.
abstract: An enantioseparation high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine D-(+)- and L-(-)-vesamicol in human plasma. The assay involved the use of a solid phase extraction for plasma sample clean up prior to HPLC analysis utilizing a C18 Bond-Elute column. Chromatographic resolution of the vesamicol enantiomers was performed on a vancomycin macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phase (CSP) known as Chirobiotic V with a polar ionic mobile phase (PIM) consisting of methanol:glacial acetic acid:triethylamine (100:0.1:0.05 (v/v/v)) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and UV detection set at 262 nm. All analyses were conducted at ambient temperature. The method was validated over the range of 1-20 microg/ml for each enantiomer concentration (R2>0.999). Recoveries for D-(+)- and L-(-)-vesamicol enantiomers were in the ranges of 96-105% at 3-16 microg/ml level. The method proved to be precise (within-run precision ranged from 1.3 to 2.7% and between-run precision ranged from 1.5 to 3.4%) and accurate (within-run accuracies ranged from 0.8 to 3.4% and between-run accuracies ranged from 1.7 to 5.0%). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) for each enantiomer in human plasma were 1.0 and 0.5 microg/ml (S/N=3), respectively.
