A new method for the simultaneous assay of D- and L-enantiomers of carnitine is described. The method is based on precolumn derivatization with (+)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate [(+)FLEC] producing a diastereomeric derivative which can be detected both by UV absorbance and fluorescence detection. Also acyl esters of carnitine can be processed with this method, after alkaline hydrolysis. The D-enantiomer of carnitine and acylcarnitine can be detected at a concentration as low as 0.2% in the raw material and in pharmaceuticals. Assays can be carried out using an autoinjector either by HPLC or capillary electrophoresis (CE) because the derivative proved to be very stable. Its application is proposed for the routine assay of the enantiomeric excess of L-carnitine and their acyl esters in pharmaceutical products.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
