“…The three main types of CDs, α ‐, β ‐ and γ ‐, contain six, seven and eight glucose monomers, respectively, arranged into a ring structure. β ‐CD derivatives are employed for the enantioseparation of threo ‐MPH (Denk et al ., ; Huang et al , ; Lee et al ., ; Schneiderman et al ., ; Theurillat and Thormann, ), as it was observed that both α ‐ and γ ‐CDs were unable to interact with MPH enantiomers (Lee et al ., ). Furthermore, the addition of the chiral selector, heptakis (2,6‐di‐ O ‐methyl)‐ β ‐CD (DM‐ β ‐CD), to phosphate buffer solutions is necessary for successful separation of MPH and RA enantiomers in two different assays (Denk et al ., ; Huang et al ., ).…”
