Abstract

The stereoselective toxicokinetics of ethofumesate enantiomers following a single intravenous (i.v.) administration at doses of 30 mg/kg were investigated in rabbits. Plasma concentrations of (+)- and (-)-ethofumesate were analyzed by a validated chiral HPLC method that involved extraction of plasma with organic solvent followed by separation on a cellulose-Tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral column and quantification by UV absorbance at 230 nm. Plasma concentration-time curves after i.v. administration were best described by an open two-compartment model. The concentration of the (-)-enantiomer decreased more rapidly than that of the (+)-enantiomer. Significant differences in toxicokinetic parameters between the two enantiomers indicated that stereoselective behavior occurred with the (-)-enantiomer being preferentially metabolized and eliminated.
