title: Separation of drug enantiomers by liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, using immobilized proteins as chiral selectors.
abstract: Proteins display interesting chiral discrimination properties owing to multiple possibilities of intermolecular interactions with chiral compounds. This review deals with proteins which have been used as immobilized chiral selectors for the enantioseparation of drugs in liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. The main procedures allowing the immobilization of proteins onto matrices, such as silica and zirconia particles, membranes and capillaries are first presented. Then the factors affecting the enantioseparation of drugs in liquid chromatography, using various protein-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs), are reviewed and discussed. Last, chiral separations already achieved using immobilized protein selectors in affinity capillary electrochromatography (ACEC) are presented and compared in terms of efficiency, stability and reproducibility.
