초록

Many established and experimental adrenergic agonists are derivatives of 2-aminoethanol with a phenol or catechol moiety in the 1-position. There is considerable interest in the stereochemical aspects of the actions of such chiral drugs. Surprisingly, however, little has been published on the chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of these compounds, and what has been published involved nearly exclusively capillary gas-liquid chromatography. In this report, the resolution of the racemates of ten adrenergic agents using reversed-phase liquid chromatography is described. The procedure is based on derivatizing the racemic mixture of each agent with the chiral reagent 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate, followed by separation of the resulting diastereomers on octadecylsilane columns using methanol-aqueous ammonium acetate mixtures as mobile phase. Detection was at 254 nm. The separation of the enantiomers of norphenylephrine and of octopamine was less than complete; the resolution of the other agents, i.e., synephrine, N-ethylnorphenylephrine, p-hydroxyephedrine, p-hydroxynorephedrine, metanephrine, normetanephrine, isoproterenol, and nordefrin, was complete. The derivative of (-)-isoproterenol eluted before that of its antipode. The procedure may be applicable to other similar agents.
