An achiral HPLC method using a silica gel column as well as two independent chiral analytical methods by HPLC and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) were developed in order to investigate the in vitro metabolism of the racemic antiasthmatic/antiallergic drug Flezelastine (cas 135381-77-0). The chiral HPLC analysis was performed on a Chiralpak AD column, which also allowed the simultaneous separation of the N-dephenethyl metabolite. The chiral separation by CZE was achieved by the addition of β-cyclodextrin to the run buffer. The stereoselectivity of the in vitro biotransformation of flezelastine was investigated using liver homogenates of different species. Depending on the species, diverse stereoselective aspects were demonstrated. The determination of the enantiomeric ratios of flezelastine and of N-dephenethylflezelastine after incubations of racemic flezelastine with liver microsomes revealed that porcine liver microsomes showed the greatest enantioselectivity of the biotransformation. (−)-Flezelastine was preferentially metabolized. After incubations with bovine liver microsomes the enantiomer of N-dephenethylflezelastine formed from (+)-flezelastine dominated. Incubations of the pure enantiomers of flezelastine with induced rat liver microsomes resulted in the stereoselective formation of a hitherto unknown metabolite, which was only detected in samples of (+)-flezelastine. Initial structure elucidation of the compound indicated that the new
