Popis: Bromoisovalerylurea (bromvalerylurea) is a sedative-hypnotic given orally as a racemate. Enantiomers of this drug could be separated by high-performance liquid chromatography on the three chiral stationary phases (a vancomycin-bonded, beta-cyclodextrin derivative-bonded, or urea derivative-bonded phase). Biological fluids of human subjects who had ingested toxic or therapeutic doses of the racemate were chromatographed after liquid-liquid extraction. The (+)-enantiomer concentration was almost equal to the (-)-enantiomer concentration in the serum of one overdosed patient. In all the other subjects, the (+)-enantiomer was less than the (-)-enantiomer in their sera and saliva. The data suggest that the drug is absorbed non-stereoselectively from the gastrointestinal tract and eliminated from the blood stereoselectively.
