The simultaneous determination of the enantiomers of the β 1 ‐selective adrenergic antagonist atenolol in human plasma and urine is described. After an alkaline preextraction atenolol is extracted from biological material at pH 12.3 using dichloromethane/propan‐2‐ol. The separation of the underivatized enantiomers is achieved by high‐performance liquid chromatography on a chiral stationary phase (Chiralcel OD, cellulose tris‐3, 5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate, coated on silica gel) with fluorimetric detection. (−)‐(S)‐Pindolol is used as an internal standard. The detection limits of 5 ng/ml enantiomer in plasma and 50 ng/ml enantiomer in urine are sufficient for pharmacokinetic studies after therapeutic doses. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
