Chiral separation of fluvastatin enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis.

An analytical CE method was developed for the enantiomeric purity determination of fluvastatin enantiomers. Fluvastatin enantiomers were separated on an uncoated fused silica with 100 mM-borate solution containing 30 mg/mL of (2-hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) as running buffer and fenoprofen as an internal standard. The linearity was observed within a 400-700 microg/mL concentration range (r(2)>or=0.
