A sensitive enantioselective high-performance chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine low levels of (-)-R and (+)-S-albuterol in plasma. Baseline resolution was achieved by using a teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase with a polar organic mobile phase consisting of methanol/acetonitrile/glacial acetic acid/diethylamine, 40:60:0.3:0.2, (v/v/v/v) and a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. Enantioselectivity (α) equaled 1.18 and resolution (Rs) equaled 1.8. By using fluorescence detection maximized at 230 and 310 nm for excitation and emission, respectively, concentrations of each enantiomer could be measured down to 125 pg/ml from a 1-ml plasma sample. Initially, the method was applied to plasma samples from a small single-dose inhalation study of racemic albuterol in a human volunteer and, later, to in vivo samples from a canine inhalation study of the single enantiomer, (-)-R-albuterol. Results from the canine study showed that no chiral inversion of (-)-R-albuterol occurs in the dog. Chirality 10:484-491, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
