A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of each of esmolol's enantiomers at the 25-1000 ng/ml concentrations observed in human plasma upon intravenous administration of this rapidly metabolized beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent. Alternatively, a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) UV detection method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of each of the enantiomers for esmolol's metabolite which, in turn, achieve 2.5-50 microg/ml concentrations in human plasma. Utilizing chiral columns, these methods do not require a precolumn asymmetric derivatization step. Linearity in all cases was >0.99. Precision and accuracy at all but the lowest concentrations were within +/-6% for the esmolol enantiomers and within +/-2.5% for the esmolol metabolite enantiomers. These values should be suitable for performing thorough pharmacokinetic studies for all of the stereoisomers of this prototypical soft drug and its corresponding metabolite.
