“…vancomycin, teicoplanin and ristocetin A, etc.) have been successfully used as novel chiral selectors to resolve a variety of neutral and negatively charged enantiomers in LC, TLC and CE (Armstrong et al, 1994a(Armstrong et al, ,b, 1995Chen et al, 1995;Ward et al, 1995;Berthod et al, 1996;Rundlett et al, 1996;Ekborg-Ott et al, 1998a,b;Hrobonova et al, 2001;Chen, 2002;Boatto et al, 2003). These macrocyclic antibiotics make remarkable LC CSPs when covalently immobilized to a silica gel support and are similar in structure, with molecular weights ranging from 1500 to 2066.…”
