This review article provides an overview of the recent advances in enantioanalysis by use of electrophoretic techniques. Due to the big number of publications in the subject mentioned above, this article is focused on chiral method developments and applications published from 2008 until 2011, and it demonstrates chiral selectors used in CE. Numerous chiral selectors have been used over the years, and these include the cyclic and the linear oligo- and polysaccharides, the branched polysaccharides, the polymeric and monomeric surfactants, the macrocyclic and other antibiotics, and the crown ethers. Different dual-selector systems are also presented in this article, and the results are compared with those obtained by use of a single chiral selector. Finally, several pharmaceutical and biomedical applications based on chiral recognition are summarized.
Enantioselective, potentiometric membrane electrodes (EPMEs) based on- ,-and-cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral selectors were proposed for the assay of S-deprenyl. The response characteristics proved that the proposed EPMEs could be reliably used in the assay of S-deprenyl. The best slope is exhibited by the EPME based on-cyclodextrin. The limits of detection are very low: 10-9 mol L-1 magnitude order for-cyclodextrin based EPME, and 10-11 mol L-1 magnitude order for-, and-cyclodextrins based EPMEs. The surfaces of the electrodes are stable and easily renewable by polishing on alumina paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
