title: Simultaneous quantitation of nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors by short-end injection capillary electrochromatography on a beta-cyclodextrin-bonded silica stationary phase.
abstract: As part of our on-going study of the analysis and quantitation of anti-HIV nucleosides, a capillary electrochromatography (CEC) method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitation of nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), i.e. zidovudine (AZT), lamivudine (3TC), didanosine (ddA) and its administrated form (ddI), stavudine (d4T) and hivid (ddC). CEC on chiral stationary phase has mainly been dedicated to the separation of enantiomers. However, this paper explores an original application of a beta-cyclodextrin-bonded silica packed column, taking advantage of the internal hydrophobicity of the polysaccharide to separate the NRTIs. The influence of several parameters (pH buffer, ionic strength, acetonitrile content, temperature and voltage) has been investigated using the short-end injection technique to achieve baseline separation in a short-time analysis before quantitation.
