The indirect resolution of five beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents (propranolol, oxprenolol,pindolol, metoprolol, and atenolol) using precolumn derivatization with (1)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate (FLEC), and capillary electrochromatography (CEC)is reported. Three octadecylsilanized (ODS) silica gel-based stationary phases, differing in particle diameter and carbon surface density for suitability of determination of the enantiomeric composition of these substances in drugs and biological fluids,were studied. Under optimum separation conditions, all the investigated compounds were baseline-resolved within acceptable analysis times (i.e., between 1016 min).The resolution values ranged between 1.80 and 1.14, and the separation factorswere in no case less than 1.07. The possible use of the developed CEC method for the determination of enantiomeric composition of b-adrenoreceptor blocking agents in drug substances was investigated. A study, in which the enantiomers of metoprolol were examined regarding specificity, reproducibility, limit of detection, and ruggedness,was developed in accordance with some analytical procedures for method validation.

Abstract
The indirect resolution of five beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents (propranolol, oxprenolol,pindolol, metoprolol, and atenolol) using precolumn derivatization with (1)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate (FLEC), and capillary electrochromatography (CEC)is reported. Three octadecylsilanized (ODS) silica gel-based stationary phases, differing in particle diameter and carbon surface density for suitability of determination of the enantiomeric composition of these substances in drugs and biological fluids,were studied. Under optimum separation conditions, all the investigated compounds were baseline-resolved within acceptable analysis times (i.e., between 1016 min).The resolution values ranged between 1.80 and 1.14, and the separation factorswere in no case less than 1.07. The possible use of the developed CEC method for the determination of enantiomeric composition of b-adrenoreceptor blocking agents in drug substances was investigated. A study, in which the enantiomers of metoprolol were examined regarding specificity, reproducibility, limit of detection, and ruggedness,was developed in accordance with some analytical procedures for method validation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
