An electron-capture gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the simultaneous analysis of the enantiomers of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine. The assay involves basic extraction of these enantiomers from the biological samples, followed by their conversion to diastereoisomers using the chiral derivatizing reagent (S)-(-)-N-trifluoroacetylprolyl chloride. The method was utilized to detect and measure the quantity of these enantiomers in plasma and urine of patients and in liver and brain tissue of rats treated with (R,S)-fluoxetine.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
