The two enantiomers of metoprolol and the four enantiomeric forms of alpha-hydroxymetoprolol were separated by liquid chromatography on a Chiralcel OD column containing a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethyl-phenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase. The column efficiency was strongly dependent on the flow-rate and the enantioselectivity was influenced by temperature. Of utmost importance for the chiral separation was the water content of the mobile organic phase. The separation system was used for the separation and determination of the enantiomers in plasma and urine samples. The metoprolol enantiomers could be determined by fluorescence down to 10 nmol/l of each in plasma with a relative standard deviation of less than 15%.

Drug enantiomers can possess vastly different pharmacological properties, yet they are identical in their chemical composition and structural connectivity. Thus, resolving enantiomers poses a great challenge in the field of separation science. Enantiomer separations necessitate interaction of the analyte with a chiral environment─in mass spectrometry-based analysis, a common approach is through a three-point interaction with a chiral selector commonly introduced during sample preparation.

The physical and chemical properties of chiral drugs are very similar. However, their pharmacological and toxicological effects vary significantly. For example, one enantiomer may have favorable properties whereas the other may be ineffective or even have toxic side effects.

Article Synopsis
- Hypercontractility and arrhythmia are significant issues in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and while beta-blockers are the standard treatment, they can lead to unwanted side effects like fatigue and lowered cardiac output.
- Researchers screened 21 different beta-blockers and found that carvedilol, which is not commonly used for HCM, effectively reduces heart muscle contractility and arrhythmia through inhibition of the ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) without dropping heart rate.
- The study suggests that carvedilol’s unique properties, particularly its R-enantiomer, may offer a promising alternative treatment for HCM patients, combining antiarrhythmic effects and reduced contractility without compromising overall heart performance.

Article Synopsis
- Enantiopure β-nitroalcohols are vital for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds, particularly β-adrenergic blockers.
- The study showcases the engineered enzyme HHDHamb, which allows for the selective bio-nitration of phenyl glycidyl ethers to produce chiral β-nitroalcohols using safe nitrite nitrating agents.
- The method achieved high yields and optical purity, and successfully synthesized two enantiomers of the β-adrenergic blocker metoprolol using these β-nitroalcohols as starting materials.

Enantioseparation of five β-adrenergic blockers was studied using two mobile phases on a cellulose tris(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate) (Lux-Cellulose-2) chiral column in normal phase mode. The first mobile phase composed of n-hexane: ethanol: diethylamine 60: 40: 0.1 by volume has successfully resolved the chromatographic peaks of three pairs of β-adrenergic blockers namely, bisoprolol, carvedilol and atenolol.
