    Abstract:
    Hydroxyzine is the first generation H1 receptor antagonist drug that is now marketed as a racemic mixture. The paper describes a validated enantioselective liquid chromatography method for the resolution of hydroxyzine enantiomers and cyclizine (internal standard) from 200 µL of rabbit plasma by liquid-liquid extraction technique using n-hexane and isopropanol. Hydroxyzine enantiomers were resolved at 10.2 and 11.1 min with good baseline resolution (Rs = 1.9) on a Lux amylose-2 chiral column (250 mm × 4.0 mm, 5 microns) at ambient room temperature. The mobile phase consisted of n-hexane-ethanol-diethylamine (90:10:0.1 v/v/v) pumped at 0.9 mL/min. The eluted enantiomers were detected at 254 nm. The linear calibration curve was constructed in the range 20-1000 ng/mL for both the (S)- and (R)-enantiomers. The intra- and inter-day precision were 0.16-2.6% and 0.2-1.92% for (S)-hydroxyzine and (R)-hydroxyzine, respectively. The method was successfully applied to determine the kinetic parameters of (S)- and (R)-hydroxyzine enantiomers in rabbits. The results illustrate that the disposition of hydroxyzine enantiomers is not stereoselective in rabbits.
