An assay for the simultaneous determination of the enantiomers of hydroxymebendazole (OH-MBZ) and hydroxyaminomebendazole (OH-AMBZ) together with aminomebendazole (AMBZ) in human plasma is described for the first time. It is based upon liquid-liquid extraction at alkaline pH from 0.5 mL plasma followed by analysis of the reconstituted extract by CE with reversed polarity in the presence of a 50 mM, pH 4.2 acetate buffer containing 15 mg/mL sulfated beta-CD as chiral selector. For all compounds, detection limits are between 0.01 and 0.04 microg/mL, and intraday and interday precisions evaluated from peak area ratios are <6.9 and <8.5%, respectively. Analysis of 39 samples of echinoccocosis patients undergoing pharmacotherapy with mebendazole (MBZ) revealed that the ketoreduction of MBZ and AMBZ is highly stereoselective. One enantiomer of each metabolite (firstly detected peak in both cases) could only be detected. The CE data revealed that OH-MBZ (mean: 0.715 microg/mL) is the major metabolite followed by AMBZ (mean: 0.165 microg/mL) and OH-AMBZ (mean: 0.055 microg/mL) whereas the MBZ plasma levels (mean: 0.096 microg/mL, levels determined by HPLC) were between those of AMBZ and OH-AMBZ.
