Simultaneous enantiomeric determination of a gastroprokinetic agent mosapride citrate and its metabolite in plasma using alpha 1-acid glycoprotein HPLC column.

Mosapride citrate, a novel benzamide-type gastroprokinetic agent, is clinically prescribed as a racemate and is metabolized to its des-4-fluorobenzyl structure (M-1). In order to analyze simultaneously the enantiomers of mosapride and M-1 in plasma, a simple and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed. The enantiomeric separation and determination were successfully achieved using an alpha 1-acid glycoprotein column and gradient elution with a fluorimetric detection (excitation 314 nm/emission 352 nm). Both enantiomers of mosapride and M-1 were well separated between 20 and 22 min at pH 4.4 and between 4 and 7 min at pH 5.0, respectively. Accurate determinations are possible in the concentration ranges of 10-5000 ng ml-1 for mosapride enantiomers and 50-5000 ng ml-1 for M-1 enantiomers. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation are satisfactory for the pharmacokinetic study of mosapride.[1]
