Comparative study on the enantioseparation of glutethimide using dual cyclodextrin systems and cyclodextrin modified MEKC in capillary electrophoresis

In order to critically evaluate the potential of dual cyclodextrin (CD) systems in CE, enantioseparation of the neutral chiral analyte glutethimide (GT) was performed using: a) charged CDs; b) combinations of charged and neutral CDs (dual CD systems), and c) CD-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MECK). The results of this comparative study indicate that properly designed dual CD systems may in certain cases represent a valuable alternative to CD-MEKC and electrokinetic chromatography involving charged CDs for enantioseparation of neutral analytes.
