title: Insight into the chiral recognition of warfarin enantiomers by epichlorhydrin/beta-cyclodextrin polymer-based supports: determination of stoichiometry and stability of warfarin/beta-cyclodextrin polymer complexes.
abstract: The complexation of warfarin (W) enantiomers by a hydrosoluble high-molecular-weight beta-cyclodextrin/epichlohydrin polymer (EP/beta-CD polymer) was studied using HPLC with a mobile phase of methanol/0.1 M Na acetate/acetic acid (pH 4) at 22 degrees C. It was found that the complexes (W/beta-CD unit) have a 1:1 stoichiometry. The stability constants of the complex involving each enantiomer and the polymer beta-CD units were determined in the mobile phase, and the highest stability of the complex (S-warfarin/beta-CD unit) was observed. From the chromatographic separations of warfarin enantiomers on different beta-CD or its derivative supports, we have deduced the role of the simultaneous presence of several glyceryl (-O-CH(2)-CHOH-CH(2)-O-) and dihydroxypropyl (-O-CH(2)-CHOH-CH(2)OH) groups on one beta-CD ring in promoting the chiral recognition of warfarin enantiomers.
