title: Chiral separation by capillary electrophoresis with oligosaccharides.
abstract: Maltodextrins, i.e., mixtures of linear alpha-(1-4)-linked D-glucose polymers, were found to be effective as chiral electrolyte modifiers to perform direct, rapid separations by capillary electrophoresis of racemic mixtures of 2-arylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds and coumarinic anticoagulant drugs, and also diastereomeric cephalosporin antibiotics. Enantioselectivity seemed to be dependent on an as yet unidentified combination of variables.
