title: Direct chiral resolution of cloquintocet-mexyl and its application to in vitro degradation combined with clodinafop-propargyl.
abstract: A simple chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with ultraviolet (UV) detection was developed and validated for measuring Cloquintocet-mexyl (ClM) enantiomers and clodinafop-propargyl (CP) using cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) as chiral stationary phase (CSP). The effects of mobile phase composition and column temperature on the ClM enantiomer separation were investigated. Good separation was achieved by using a mixture of n-hexane and n-propanol as mobile phase. Based on the chiral HPLC method, enantioselective quantitative determination analysis methods for this herbicide combined with CP in diluted plasma were developed and validated. The assay method was linear over a range of concentrations (0.5-100 µg/mL) in diluted plasma and the mean recovery was greater than 80% for both enantiomers and CP. The limits of quantification and detection for both ClM enantiomers and CP were 0.5 and 0.2 µg/mL, respectively. Intra- and interday relative standard deviations did not exceed 10% for three tested concentrations. The result suggested that the degradation of ClM enantiomers was stereoselective in rabbit plasma, and both rac-ClM and CP degraded quickly in plasma, showing that the main existing forms with biological effect in animals are their metabolites.
