Bovine serum albumin adsorbed on eremomycin and grafted on silica as new mixed-binary chiral sorbent for improved enantioseparation of drugs.

A new silica-based, mixed-binary chiral sorbent grafted with the macrocyclic antibiotic eremomycin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was obtained. The sorbent-filled high-performance liquid chromatography column was capable of enantioseparation of racemic drugs, such as profens, in reversed-phase-chromatography mode. The mixed-binary eremomycin-BSA-sorbent showed better capability for profens enantioseparation as compared with a sorbent containing eremomycin only.

Clarithromycin as a chiral selector for enantioseparation of basic compounds in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis.

The first use of macrolide antibiotic clarithromycin (CLM) in nonaqueous media for enantioseparation (partial or baseline) of the following compounds: alprenolol, atenolol, metoprolol, clenbuterol, methoxyphenamine, pindolol, propranolol, sotalol, synephrine, labetalol, and fenoterol is reported. Each analysis took less than 15 min. To find optimal separation conditions, some properties of CLM (adsorption, solubility), as well as the effect of experimental parameters on the enantioseparation of analytes (background electrolyte composition, chiral selector concentration, temperature, and applied voltage) were studied.

Enantioseparation of organic acids of pharmaceutical interest using eremomycin as a chiral selector.

Strong adsorption of eremomycin on the fused-silica capillary wall was used for separation of enantiomers by CE. The capillary with adsorbed chiral selector was shown to be easily prepared and has reproducible properties. The effect of the chiral selector concentration, pH and composition of the BGE, and applied voltage on enantioseparation of acidic compounds, such as profens and aromatic carboxylic acids, was investigated.

Chiral analysis of pharmaceuticals by capillary electrophoresis using antibiotics as chiral selectors.

The review summarizes the use of the chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) with different class of antibiotics as chiral selectors in the pharmaceutical field. Basic factors influencing the enantioseparation are shortly discussed. Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis is also included as well as the coupling of CE to MS.

Enantiorecognition of profens by capillary electrophoresis using a novel chiral selector eremomycin.

The evaluation of a macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic, eremomycin, as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been performed. The stability of eremomycin in solution and capillary electrolyte, as well as its optical and electrophoretic properties have been discussed. The effect of experimental parameters influencing the enantioseparation of several profens has been studied.
