In an extended chiral drug screening program, enantioseparation of 86 racemic drugs was tested with hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin as chiral solvating agent (CSA). A total of 30 drugs out of 86 could be resolved in this straightforward approach. The number of experiments performed under identical conditions allows a statistical treatment of the data. The enantioseparation of the analytes is correlated with their interaction strength with the CSA. Hence, the concentration of the CSA is a crucial parameter for optimization of the enantioseparation, as shown by a subset of 23 examples.
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.
