The chiral drug ketamine has long-lasting antidepressant effects with a fast onset and is also suitable to treat patients with therapy-resistant depression. The metabolite hydroxynorketamine (HNK) plays an important role in the antidepressant mechanism of action. Hydroxylation at the cyclohexanone ring occurs at positions 4, 5 and 6 and produces a total of 12 stereoisomers. Among those, the four 6HNK stereoisomers have the strongest antidepressant effects. CE with highly-sulfated γ-CD as chiral selector in combination with MS was used to develop a method for the enantioselective analysis of HNK stereoisomers with a special focus on the 6HNK stereoisomers. The partial filling approach was applied in order to avoid contamination of the MS with the chiral selector. Concentration of the chiral selector and the length of the separation zone were optimized. With 5% highly-sulfated γ-CD in 20 mM ammonium formate with 10% formic acid and a 75% filling the four 6HNK stereoisomers could be separated with a resolution between 0.79 and 3.17. The method was applied to analyze fractionated equine urine collected after a ketamine infusion and to screen the fractions as well as unfractionated urine for the parent drug ketamine and other metabolites, including norketamine and dehydronorketamine.
