An aqueous capillary electrophoretic method was developed for chiral analysis of the novel anti-diabetic drug, sitagliptin. The acid-base profiling of the analyte was carried out using both capillary electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance pH titrations. The apparent complex stability and chiral separation properties were investigated with 30 different cyclodextrins under acidic conditio...

Numerous psychotropic drugs exist as a mixture of 2 mirror-image stereoisomers of each other, each called an enantiomer and the mixture called a racemate. Often the drug can be improved when only 1 of the enantiomers is administered.

We report the first rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) enantiomeric reversed-phase separation of rasagiline mesylate and its tartrate salts using a Chiralpak® AGP column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 μm) as a stationary phase. This method was developed as an alternative to the usage of previously reported normal-phase chiral LC columns for isomer separation. Our method is based on...

The application of ultraviolet absorption detector (UV) and circular dichroism (CD) detectors in series in HPLC systems has been increased in recent years. In this work, an effective method to determine the enantiomer concentration on line in chiral drugs was explored. Ibuprofen (IBP) racemate was applied. The total concentration and concentration difference of S-(+)-IBP and R-(-)-IBP were obta...

This study used the general applicability of 2,6-didi-o-methyl-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) as the chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis for fast and efficient chiral separation of repaglinide enantiomers. A systematic study of the parameters affecting separation was performed with UV detection at 243 nm. The optimum conditions were determined to be 1.25% (w/v) DM-β-CD in 20 mM sodium phosph...

A new analytical method for enantioselective separation of DL-amino acids derivatized by N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-L-alanyl N-carboxyanhydride (FMOC-L-Ala-NCA) using capillary electrophoresis was developed. Separation parameters, such as composition and pH of the background electrolyte, and concentration of gamma-cyclodextrin (in capillary zone electrophoresis) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (in m...

This paper demonstrates how general purpose tools from the eld of Inductive Logic Programming ILP can be applied to analytical chemistry As far as these authors are aware this is the rst published work to describe the application of the ILP tool Golem to separation science An outline of the theory of ILP is given together with a description of Golem and previous applications of ILP The advantag...

The imprinted polymers based on a transient complex formation between methacrylic acid and template molecules were prepared by using methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate as a cross-linking agent. The template molecules used were (R,R)-cyclohexanediamine (1), (S,S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (2) and (S)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (3). Another group of templates were those in which the...
