Abstract:

The effects of the cyclodextrin (CD) type on the enantioseparation of six chiral drugs were investigated, using 2 natural CD, namely β-CD and γ-CD, 2 commonly used uncharged functionalized CD, namely hydroxypropylated β-CD (HP-β-CD) and dimethylated β-CD (DM-β-CD), and 3 newly-developed charged CD, namely highly sulfated α-CD (HS-α-CD), highly sulfated β-CD (HS-β-CD), highly sulfated γ-CD (HS-γ-CD) as capillary zone electrophoresis additive, respectively. While the 2 natural CD showed no enantioselectivity of the 6 chiral drugs, the functionalized CD's enantioselectivity improved greatly. In particular, the HS-β-CD could baseline chirally resolved the enantiomers of all the 6 chiral drugs, indicating that the HS-β-CD is a versatile chiral selector and is worth developing further. The effects of the pH of the background electrolyte and the organic modifier on the enantioseparation were also examined and disscussed.
