title: Optimization of gas chromatographic method for the enantioseparation of arylpropionic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug methyl esters.
abstract: The gas chromatography (GC) method for enantioseparation of well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen, fenoprofen and ketoprofen methyl esters mixture was developed. Best enantioseparation was performed on capillary column with heptakis-(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-t-butyldimethyl-silyl)-beta-cyclodextrin stationary phase and hydrogen used as a carrier gas. Initial temperature, program rate and carrier pressure were optimized to obtain best resolution between enantiomers.
