title: Recent results of biotransformation of drugs: investigation of the in vitro biotransformation of thalidomide using a dual cyclodextrin system in capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: A previously developed capillary electrophoresis method for the simultaneous separation and enantioseparation of thalidomide (TD) and its hydroxylated metabolites was extended to one additional biotransformation product. The dual chiral selector system using native beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and the negatively charged sulfobutyl-beta-CD (SBE-beta-CD) was slightly modified up to a concentration of 12 mg/ml running buffer of each CD. The carrier mode in which these buffer additives transport the neutral compounds to the detector as well as the use of a polyacrylamide-coated capillary were necessary to achieve reproducible enantioseparations of all eight analytes.
