title: Separation of enantiomers of drugs by capillary electrophoresis. Part 4: hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin as chiral solvating agent.
abstract: In an extended chiral drug screening program, enantioseparation of 86 racemic drugs was tested with hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin as chiral solvating agent (CSA). A total of 30 drugs out of 86 could be resolved in this straightforward approach. The number of experiments performed under identical conditions allows a statistical treatment of the data. The enantioseparation of the analytes is correlated with their interaction strength with the CSA. Hence, the concentration of the CSA is a crucial parameter for optimization of the enantioseparation, as shown by a subset of 23 examples.
