Comparison of capillary electrophoresis and reversed-phase liquid chromatography for determination of the enantiomeric purity of an M3 antagonist.
The chiral separation of an M3 antagonist was investigated using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with various sulfated cyclodextrins and by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with derivatized cellulose, derivatized amylose, and two protein stationary phases. Operational parameters for each technique, such as the concentration of the chiral selectors, background electrolyte (or mobile phase) pH and type, organic modifiers, injection mode and temperature were varied in order to achieve a desired elution order and to meet a 0.1% limit of quantitation (LOQ) criteria. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, a practical CE method using sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin was selected. The method was validated in terms of linearity, LOQ, accuracy, ruggedness and precision.
