Abstract
Water pollution arising from pharmaceuticals has raised great concerns about the potential risks for biosphere and human health. However, rapid and efficient removal of pharmaceutical contaminants from water remains challenging. Wood sawdust, a byproduct of the wood-processing industry, is an abundant, cost-effective, and sustainable material with a unique hierarchically porous microstructure. These features make wood sawdust quite interesting as a filtration material. Here, we report a novel cross-flow filtration composite based on β-cyclodextrin-polymer-functionalized wood sawdust (β-CD/WS) in which the pharmaceutical contaminant water flows through the sawn-off vessel channels and the micropores on the surface of the cell walls, generating the turbulence. Such water flow characteristics ensure full contact between pharmaceutical pollutants and β-CD grafted on the cellulose backbone of wood sawdust, thereby enhancing the water treatment efficiency. Consequently, the β-CD/WS filter device shows a high removal efficiency of over 97.5% within 90 s for various pharmaceutical contaminants including propranolol, amitriptyline, chlortetracycline, diclofenac, and levofloxacin, and a high saturation uptake capacity of 170, 156, 257, 159, and 185 mg g-1, respectively. The high-performance wood-sawdust-based cross-flow filtration opens new avenues for solving the global water pollution issues, especially those caused by pharmaceutical contaminants.

Abstract
This work shows that the metal organic framework (MOF) HKUST-1 of type Cu3(BTC)2 (also referred to as MOF-199; a face-centered-cubic MOF containing nanochannels) is a most viable coating for use in enantioseparation in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). A HKUST-1 modified capillary was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. CEC-based enantioseparation of the basic drugs propranolol (PRO), esmolol (ESM), metoprolol (MET), amlodipine (AML) and sotalol (SOT) was performed by using carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin as the chiral selector. Compared with a fused-silica capillary, the resolutions are improved (ESM: 1.79; MET: 1.80; PRO: 4.35; SOT: 1.91; AML: 2.65). The concentration of chiral selector, buffer pH value, applied voltage and buffer concentration were optimized, and the reproducibilities of the migration times and Rs values were evaluated. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the preparation of a HKUST-1@capillary for enantioseparation of racemic drugs. Cu(NO3)2 and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) were utilized to prepare the HKUST-1@capillary. Then the capillary was applied to construct capillary electrochromatography system with carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) for separation of basic racemic drugs.

Abstract
This study investigated the degradation of propranolol (PRO), a beta (β)-blockers, by nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) activated persulfate (PS) under ultrasonic irradiation. Effects of several critical factors were evaluated, inclusive of PS concentration, nZVI dosage, ultrasound power, initial pH, common anions, and chelating agent on PRO degradation kinetics. Higher PS concentration, nZVI dosage and ultrasound power as well as acidic pH favored the PRO degradation. Conversely, anions and chelating agent took on the inhibitory effect towards PRO degradation to different extents. Furthermore, the variations of morphology and surface composition of nZVI before and after the reaction were characterized by TEM, XRD and XPS. Finally, on the basis of identified degradation intermediates by LC/MS/MS analysis, this work tentatively proposed the degradation pathways. These encouraging results suggest that US/nZVI/PS process is a promising strategy for the treatment of PRO-induced water pollutant.

Abstract
The non-canonical NF-κB signaling (RelB/p52) pathway drives pro-labor genes in the human placenta, including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), making this a potential therapeutic target to delay onset of labor. Here we sought to identify small molecule compounds from a pre-existing chemical library of orally active drugs that can inhibit this NF-κB signaling, and in turn, human placental CRH and COX-2 production. We used a cell-based assay coupled with a dual-luciferase reporter system to perform an in vitro screening of a small molecule library of 1,120 compounds for inhibition of the non-canonical NF-κB pathway. Cell toxicity studies and drug efflux transport MRP1 assays were used to further characterize the lead compounds. We have found that 14 drugs have selective inhibitory activity against lymphotoxin beta complex-induced activation of RelB/p52 in HEK293T cells, several of which also inhibited expression of CRH and COX-2 in human term trophoblast. We identified sulfapyridine and propranolol with activity against CRH and COX-2 that deserve further study. These drugs could serve as the basis for development of orally active drugs to affect length of gestation, first in an animal model, and then in clinical trials to prevent preterm birth during human pregnancy.

Abstract
Assessing the risks of emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals in the environment requires an understanding of their exposure regime and their effects at environmentally relevant concentrations across species. Daphnia magna represents an excellent invertebrate model species to study the mode of action of emerging pollutants, allowing the assessment of effects at different biological levels. The present study aims to test the hypothesis that different families of neuro-active pharmaceuticals at low environmentally relevant concentrations may lead to similar phenotypic responses in D. magna. Phenotypic traits included reproduction and behavioural responses. Selected pharmaceuticals were carbamazepine, diazepam and propranolol, three widely prescribed compounds, already detected at considerable levels in the environment (ng to few μg/L). Fluoxetine was also included in behavioural assays. The three tested neuro-active pharmaceuticals were able to enhance reproduction at 1ng/L of propranolol, 0.1μg/L of diazepam and 1μg/L of carbamazepine. Fluoxetine, carbamazepine and diazepam increased positive phototactic behaviour at concentrations ranging from 1, 10 and 100ng/L, respectively. Reported responses were nonmonotonic, which means that eco-toxicity testing of pharmaceuticals need to assess effects at the ng/L range.

Abstract
Although pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) are being used more and more widely, and studies have been carried out to assess their presence in the environment, knowledge of their fate and behavior, especially under different environmental conditions, is still limited. The principle objective of the present work, therefore, is to evaluate the adsorption behavior of three ionizable, polar compounds occurring in different forms: cationic (propranolol - PRO), anionic (sulfisoxazole - SSX) and neutral (sulfaguanidine - SGD) onto soil under various temperature conditions. The adsorption thermodynamics of these researched compounds were extensively investigated using parameters such as enthalpy change (ΔH°), Gibbs free energy change (ΔG°) as well as entropy change (ΔS°). These calculations reveal that sorption of PRO is exothermic, spontaneous and enthalpy driven, sorption of SGD is endothermic, spontaneous and entropy driven whereas sorption of SSX is endothermic, spontaneous only above the temperature of 303.15K and entropy driven. Furthermore, we submit that the calculated values yield valuable information regarding the sorption mechanism of PRO, SGD and SSX onto soils.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has matured to one of the major liquid phase enantiodifferentiation techniques since the first report in 1985. This can be primarily attributed to the flexibility as well as the various modes available including electrokinetic chromatography (EKC), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), and microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC). In contrast to chromatographic techniques, the chiral selector is mobile in the background electrolyte. Furthermore, a large variety of chiral selectors are available that can be easily combined in the same separation system. In addition, the migration order of the enantiomers can be adjusted by a number of approaches. In CE enantiodifferentiations the separation principle is comparable to chromatography while the principle of the movement of the analytes in the capillary is based on electrophoretic phenomena. The present chapter will focus on mechanistic aspects of CE enantioseparations including enantiomer migration order and the current understanding of selector-selectand structures. Selected examples of the basic enantioseparation modes EKC, MEKC, and MEEKC will be discussed.

Abstract
Sorption and combined sorption-biodegradation experiments were conducted in laboratory batch studies with 100 g soil/sediments and 500 mL water to investigate the fates in aqueous environments of acetaminophen, caffeine, propranolol, and acebutolol, four frequently used and often-detected pharmaceuticals. All four compounds have demonstrated significant potential for degradation and sorption in natural aqueous systems. For acetaminophen, biodegradation was found to be a primary mechanism for degradation, with a half-life (t(1/2)) for combined sorption-biodegradation of 2.1 days; in contrast, sorption alone was responsible only for a 30% loss of aqueous-phase acetaminophen after 15 days. For caffeine, both biodegradation and sorption were important (t(1/2) for combined sorption-biodegradation was 1.5 days). However, for propranolol and acebutolol, sorption was found to be the most significant removal mechanism and was not affected by biodegradation. Desorption experiments revealed that the sorption process was mostly irreversible. High values were found for K(d) for caffeine, propranolol, and acebutolol, ranging from 250 to 1900 L kg(-1), which explained their greater tendency for sorption onto sediments, compared to the more hydrophilic acetaminophen. Experimentally derived values for logK(oc) differed markedly from values calculated from correlation equations. This discrepancy was attributed to the fact that these equations are well suited for hydrophobic interactions but may fail to predict the sorption of polar and ionic compounds. These results suggest that mechanisms other than hydrophobic interactions played an important role in the sorption process.

Abstract
In this study we have examined the effect of achiral water soluble p-sulfonatocalixarenes (SCX[n]) on chiral separation propranolol-HCl and brompheniramine maleate. Several cyclodextrins (CDs) and cyclodextrin derivatives were examined as chiral selectors applying complete filling technique (CFT) accompanied with the partial filling technique PFT of (SCX[n]) as achiral modifier. Only with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) chiral separation could be achieved. The effect of the organic modifier on these chiral separations was examined. The results indicate that at pH 4.65, the use of HP-beta-CD (CFT) alone could not initiate chiral separations of both analytes and these chiral separations could be induced using HP-beta-CD (CFT) followed by SCX[n]/HP-beta-CD (PFT).

Abstract
The binding and chiral separation of R- and S-propranolol was investigated on a new type of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) column. This column was prepared through the controlled and mild oxidation of AGP, followed by the immobilization of this protein to hydrazide-activated silica. The effects of temperature, pH, ionic strength, and organic modifiers on the retention and separation of R- and S-propranolol were investigated on this column. Both the association equilibrium constants and number of binding sites for R/S-propranolol on the AGP column were found to increase with temperature and affect the measured retention factors for these compounds. Regarding the other factors, a change in the organic modifier concentration was found to give the largest change in retention and separation. It was found through these studies that both coulombic and hydrophobic interactions played important roles in determining the retention of R- and S-propranolol on the AGP column. The efficiency and separation impedance of this system were also considered. Under the final optimum conditions identified in this study, it was possible to separate R- and S-propranolol with a resolution of greater than 1.38 in less than 5 min on a 4.1 mm I.D. x 5 cm column.

Abstract
Enantiomeric separations in CEC with the macrocyclic antibiotic vancomycin immobilized silica monolith as a chiral stationary phase are presented. The monolithic silica capillary columns were prepared by a sol-gel process in fused-silica capillaries with an inner diameter of 50 mum and subsequently in situ immobilization of vancomycin as a chiral selector by reductive amination. Enantioselectivity was obtained for eight pairs of enantiomers in nonaqueous polar organic or aqueous mobile phases and most of them were baseline-separated with high column efficiencies. It was observed that the organic modifier ratio (MeOH/ACN) in the polar organic mobile phase played a significant role in controlling the resolution and efficiency of the enantiomers. In enantiomeric separation of propranolol, repeatability for column efficiency and resolution in the nonaqueous mobile phase was given in terms of RSD values at 1.1 and 2.3% (n = 5) for run-to-run injections and 7.2 and 9.6% (n = 5) for column-to-column testing while repeatability for the separation of thalidomide in the aqueous mobile phase was given in terms of RSD values at 1.5, 2.8% and 6.1, 10.5%, respectively.

Abstract
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (beta blockers) are widely used pharmaceuticals which have been detected in the environment. Predicting the transport and ultimate fate of beta blockers in the environment requires understanding their adsorption to soils and sediments, something for which little information is currently available. The objective of this work was to examine the adsorption of three beta blockers, propranolol, metoprolol and nadolol, to a natural alluvial material, as well as to six minerals present as components of the alluvial material. Batch adsorption experiments indicate that, for most of the minerals studied, compound hydrophobicity is an important predictor of adsorption, with propranolol,the most hydrophobic compound studied, adsorbing to the greatest extent. Results further suggest that, for the minerals studied, electrostatic effects are not a good predictor of adsorption; adsorption extent was not well-predicted by either surface zeta potential or by the difference between experiment pH and point of zero charge, despite the cationic nature af the three beta blockers at experiment pH values. Experiments were conducted to examine the effect of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), on adsorption. Results indicate that SDBS significantly increases the adsorption of propranolol to two different sorbents. This result is potentially important because surfactants such as SDBS are likely to be present in wastewater effluents with beta blockers and could influence their mobility in the environment.

Abstract
Immobilized amyloglucosidase was used as a chiral stationary phase (CSP). First, the retention and enantioselectivity of several model chiral amines and acids were investigated. We found that this CSP was unable to separate the enantiomers of acids, though all selected amines could be resolved. The adsorption of (R)- and (S)-propranolol and its influence on column temperature and 2-propanol content in the eluent were then studied in detail, using a three-step methodology. The adsorption was first evaluated using Scatchard plots; thereafter, the adsorption was characterized in detail by calculating the adsorption energy distribution. With this model-independent information, a better judgment could be made of the possible adsorption models selected in the last step, the model fitting to the data. In the case examined, the bi-Langmuir model (containing nonselective and enantioselective sites) describes the system well. The retention of (R)- and (S)-propranolol at low temperatures increases with the content of 2-propanol in the eluent, due to the increased saturation capacity of the enantioselective sites. The retention is an enthalpy-driven process at both types of sites, whereas the enantioseparation is due to differences between the entropy changes of the two enantiomers at the enantioselective sites. The enthalpy of adsorption at the nonselective sites is almost identical at the two concentrations of 2-propanol in the eluent. Enantioselective adsorption, on the other hand, is more exothermic at higher modifier content (20%). Thus, at high temperatures the retention decreases with increasing modifier content, whereas the opposite (unusual) trend is the case at low temperatures.

Abstract
This work presented an application of the second-order advantage provided by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) aiming at direct determination of propranolol, a beta-blocker also used as doping agent, in human urine by spectrofluorimetry. The adopted strategy combined the use of PARAFAC, for extraction of the pure analyte signal, with the standard addition method, for a determination in the presence of an individual matrix effect caused by the quenching action of the proteins present in the urine. The urine samples were previously 100 times diluted. For each sample, four standard additions were performed, in triplicates. A specific PARAFAC model was built for each triplicate of each sample, from three-way arrays formed by 231 emission wavelengths, 8 excitation wavelengths and 5 measurements (sample plus 4 additions). The models were built with three factors and always explained more than 99.87% of the total variance. The obtained loadings were related to PRO and two background interferences. The scores related to PRO were used for a linear regression in the standard addition method. The obtained determinations in the PRO concentration range from 5.0 to 20.0 microg ml(-1) provided recoveries between 91.1 and 108.4%.

Abstract
This report describes the creation of semipermanent capillary coatings that are compatible with organic-water solvent systems in CE. The coatings are created by simply rinsing the fused-silica capillary with long double-chain cationic surfactants, such as dimethyl-ditetradecyl ammonium bromide (2C(14)DAB), dihexadecyldimethyl ammonium bromide (2C(16)DAB), and dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide (2C(18)DAB). These surfactants generate semipermanent bilayer coatings on the capillary surface, which display a high degree of stability in buffers containing up to 60% v/v of organic solvents, such as methanol and ACN. The coating stability increases with increasing hydrophobicity of the surfactant, i.e., with increasing chain length. For instance, the EOF changes by only 1.2% in a 2C(18)DAB-coated capillary after 130 capillary volumes of rinsing with 60% v/v methanol containing buffer. The bilayer coatings allow separations to be performed without the need to regenerate the coating between runs or to maintain the EOF modifier in the run buffer. Rapid separations (<2 min) of anions and basic drugs with migration time reproducibility of less than 0.5% RSD and efficiencies of 0.4-0.6 million plates/m are obtained. In addition, selectivity changes for small anions and cationic drugs are also observed when the organic solvent content is adjusted.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) represent a class of artificial receptors that promise an environmentally robust alternative to naturally occurring biorecognition elements of biosensing devices and systems. However, in general, the performance of conventional MIPs in aqueous environments is poor. In the study reported here, this limitation has been addressed by the novel application of MIPs as a solvent extraction solid phase in a biphasic solvent system. This paper describes a previously unreported use of MIPs as solvent extraction reagents, their successful application to aqueous sample media and the opportunities for utilisation of this unique system in novel biosensing and separation procedures. This study demonstrates the development of a novel biphasic solvent system utilising MIP in the extracting phase to enhance both efficiency and selectivity of a simple two phase liquid extraction. Monodisperse propranolol imprinted polymer microspheres [p(divinylbenzene-co-methacrylic acid)] were prepared by precipitation polymerisation. Initially, the affinity of the polymers for (R,S)-propranolol was assessed by established techniques whereby the MIP demonstrated greater affinity for the template than did the non-imprinted control polymer (NIP). Importantly, MIP performance was also assessed using the novel dual solvent system. The depletion of (R,S)-propranolol from the aqueous phase into the polymer containing organic phase was determined. When compared to control extractions containing no polymer the presence of MIP in the extracting solvent phase resulted in an increased extraction of (R,S)-propranolol from the aqueous phase. Importantly, this extraction was significantly greater in the presence of MIP when compared to NIP. This unique principle generates opportunities for MIP based extractions and chemical enrichments in industrial applications, offering commercial, ecological and practical advantages to traditional solvent extraction techniques. The technique is readily transferable to analytical microsystems utilising MIP recognition elements generating promising opportunities for MIP based sensing of aqueous sample media.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE), using highly-sulfated cyclodextrins as chiral selectors, has been applied to determine the chiral purity of pharmaceutical compounds. A chiral separation strategy, developed earlier for racaemic mixtures, was applied on four basic drugs (propranolol, atenolol, chlorpheniramine and tryptophan methylester). The aim was to develop validated separation methods which allow determination of 0.1% impurity levels of the unwanted enantiomers (distomer) in the presence of 99.9% of the active compound (eutomer). The linearity, quantification limits for the trace enantiomers and the precision of the measurements were determined. In a second part, impurity separations have been simulated in order to evaluate the required resolution when assaying impurities. It is shown that a baseline resolution of 1.5, generally accepted for racaemic mixtures, does not always allow good impurity determinations. Two alternative methods to solve this problem have been proposed.

Abstract
In a previous report, the heterogeneity of a non-endcapped C30-bonded stationary phase was investigated, based on the results of the measurements of the adsorption isotherms of two neutral compounds (phenol and caffeine) and two ionizable compounds (sodium naphthalene sulfonate and propranololium chloride) by frontal analysis (FA). The same method is applied here for the characterization of the surface heterogeneity of two new brands of endcapped C18-bonded stationary phases (Gemini and Sunfire). The adsorption isotherms of the same four chemicals were measured by FA and the results confirmed by the independent calculation of the adsorption energy distribution (AED), using the expectation-maximization (EM) method. The effect of the length of the bonded alkyl chain was investigated. Shorter alkyl-bonded-chains (C18 versus C30) and the end-capping of the silica surface contribute to decrease the surface heterogeneity under the same experimental conditions (30% methanol, 25 mM NaCl). The AEDs of phenol and caffeine are bimodal with the C18-bonded columns while they are trimodal and quadrimodal, respectively, with a non-endcapped C30-bonded column. The "supersites" (adsorption energy > 20 kJ/mol) found on the C30-Prontosil column and attributed to a cation exchange mechanism completely disappear on the C18-Gemini and C18-Sunfire, probably because the end-capping of the silica surface eliminates most if not all the ionic interactions.

Abstract
The difference in adsorption behavior between a conventional monomeric endcapped C18 stationary phase (3.43 micromol/m2) and an endcapped polymeric RP-Amide phase (3.31 micromol/m2) was investigated. The adsorption isotherms of four compounds (phenol, caffeine, sodium 2-naphthalene sulfonate, and propranololium chloride) were measured by frontal analysis (FA) and the degree of heterogeneity of each phase for each solute was characterized by their adsorption energy distributions (AED), derived using the Expectation-Maximization method. The results show that only certain analytes (phenol and 2-naphthalene sulfonate) are sensitive to the presence of the polar embedded amide groups within the RP phase. Their binding constants on the amide-bonded phase are significantly higher than on conventional RPLC phases. Furthermore, an additional type of adsorption sites was observed for these two compounds. However, these sites having a low density, their presence does not affect much the retention factors of the two analytes. On the other hand, the adsorption behavior of the other two analytes (caffeine and propranololium chloride) is almost unaffected by the presence of the amide group in the bonded layer. Strong selective interactions may explain these observations. For example, hydrogen-bond interactions between an analyte (e.g., phenol or naphthalene sulfonate) and the carbonyl group (acceptor) or the nitrogen (donor) of the amido-embedded group may take place. No such interactions may take place with either caffeine or the cation propranololium chloride. This study confirms the hypothesis that analytes have ready access to locations deep inside the bonded layer, where the amide groups are present.

Abstract
A new chromatographic method estimating the degree of heterogeneity of RPLC packing materials is based on the results of systematic measurements of the adsorption data in a wide concentration range for selected probe compounds. These data are acquired by frontal analysis (FA), modeled, and used for the calculation of the adsorption energy distribution (AED). Four compounds were used, two neutral compounds of different molecular sizes (caffeine and phenol) and two ionizable compounds of opposite charges, 2-naphthalene sulfonate, an anion, and propranololium, a cation. This work was done on a C30-bonded silica stationary phase (Prontosil-C30), using the same aqueous mobile phase (30% methanol, v/v) for all compounds, except that sodium chloride (25 mM) was added to elute the ionizable compounds. All four adsorption isotherms have Langmuirian behavior. The AEDs are tri-modal for phenol, quadri-modal for caffeine. The total saturation capacity of the stationary phase is four-fold lower for caffeine than for phenol, due in part to its larger molecular size. The equilibrium constants on the low-energy sites of types 1 and 2 are eight-fold larger. These two types of sites characterize the heterogeneity of the bonded layer itself. The density of the high-energy sites of types 3 and 4 is higher for caffeine, suggesting that caffeine molecules can be accommodated in some hydrophobic cages into which smaller molecules like phenol cannot. These high-energy types of sites characterize the heterogeneity of the whole stationary phase (silica support included). The ionizable compounds have larger molecules than the neutral ones and, accordingly, a lower relative density of sites of type 2 to sites of type 1. A tri-modal and a quadri-modal energy distributions were observed for the 2-naphthalene sulfonate anion and the propranololium cation, respectively. The fourth types of sites measured and its unusually high equilibrium constant are most probably due to ion-exchange interactions between the non-endcapped ionized silanols and the propranololium ion. No such strong interactions are observed with the anionic compound.

Abstract
The enantiomeric resolution of chiral compounds using HSA by means of affinity EKC (AEKC)-partial filling technique is the result of a delicate balance between different experimental variables such as protein concentration, running pH (background electrophoretic buffer, protein and compound solutions) and protein solution plug length. In this paper multivariate optimization approaches for chiral separation of four basic drugs (alprenolol, oxprenolol, promethazine and propranolol) using HSA as chiral selector in AEKC-partial filling technique are studied. The experimental conditions to achieve maximum resolution are optimized using the Box-Behnken experimental design. Partial least squares and pareto charts are used to analyse the main effects on the resolution. The experimental resolutions observed for all compounds studied in optimum conditions agree with the estimated values based on response surface models. The results obtained show that the range of experimental conditions that provided enantioresolution narrows as hydrophobicity of analytes decreases. This fact can be explained by assuming that hydrophobicity controls the interaction of basic compounds with HSA.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of high temperature on separation and detection of basic compounds, the detection being performed by MS via ESI, are investigated. The influence of various parameters on both separation and detection performances is studied. These parameters include the mobile phase pH, the temperature, and the type of stationary phase. Experiments are performed under gradient elution conditions. The results obtained with four different supports, silica-, zirconia-, carbon-, and polymer-based columns, are compared by means of different criteria including the elution composition, the peak asymmetry, and the S/N. High temperature liquid chromatography at high pH with volatile buffers suitable for MS detection was shown to be an interesting choice for solutes with basic sites.

Abstract
Over a 10-year period, 1993-2002, Federal Aviation Administration identified 50 pilot fatalities involving atenolol, metoprolol, and propranolol, which is consistent with the fact that these drugs have been in the lists of the top 200 drugs prescribed in the U.S. In a few of the 50 pilot fatality cases, initial analysis suggested the presence of atenolol and metoprolol. However, there was no medical history with these cases supporting the use of both drugs. Therefore, atenolol, metoprolol, and/or propranolol, with their possible metabolite(s), were re-extracted from the selected case specimens, derivatized with pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA), and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The MS spectra of these three antihypertensives and a metoprolol metabolite are nearly identical. All of the PFPA derivatives had baseline GC separation, with the exception of a metoprolol metabolite product, which co-eluted with atenolol. There were four primary mass fragments (m/z 408, 366, 202, and 176) found with all of the PFPA-beta-blockers and with the interfering metabolite product. However, atenolol has three unique fragments (m/z 244, 172, and 132), metoprolol has two unique fragments (m/z 559 and 107), propranolol has four unique fragments (m/z 551, 183, 144, and 127), and the metoprolol metabolite product has two unique fragments (m/z 557 and 149). These distinctive fragments were further validated by using a computer program that predicts logical mass fragments and performing GC-MS of deuterated PFPA-atenolol and PFPA-propranolol and of the PFPA-alpha-hydroxy metabolite of metoprolol. By using the unique mass fragments, none of the pilot fatality cases were found to contain more than one beta-blocker. Therefore, these mass ions can be used for differentiating and simultaneously analyzing these structurally similar beta-blockers in biological samples.

Abstract
Contactless conductivity detection is successfully demonstrated for the enantiomeric separation of basic drugs and amino acids in capillary electrophoresis (CE). Derivatization of the compounds or the addition of a visualization agent as for indirect optical detection schemes were not needed. Non-charged chiral selectors were employed, hydroxypropylated cyclodextrin (CD) for the more lipophilic basic drugs and 18-crown-6-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6H4) for the amino acids. Acidic buffer solutions based on lactic or citric acid were used. The detection limits were determined as 0.3 microM for pseudoephedrine as an example of a basic drug and were in the range from 2.5 to 20 microM for the amino acids.

Abstract
Spherical molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) specific to the beta-blocker propranolol have been synthesised using two different approaches and compared to traditional ground monolithic MIPs in HPLC and TFC applications. TFC is a LC technique used for rapid extraction of compounds directly from complex matrices. It can be easily coupled to HPLC and MS for automation of an extraction/analysis procedure. Spherical MIP beads were produced using a suspension polymerisation technique and silica/MIP composite beads by grafting MIP to spherical silica particles using a surface-bound initiator species. Synthesis of both beaded and silica-grafted MIPs was more practical than using the traditional grinding method and yields of spherical particles of the required size between 80 and 100% were routinely achieved. Under HPLC conditions, beaded and ground MIP materials showed a degree of chiral separation for all of the nine beta-blockers tested. The beaded MIP, however, showed much better flow properties and peak shape than the ground material. Silica-grafted MIP showed some separation in five of the drugs and a large improvement in peak shape and analysis times compared with both ground and beaded MIPs. The materials prepared were also used in extraction columns for Turbulent Flow Chromatography (TFC). Although no imprinting effect was observed under typical TFC conditions, beaded polymer materials showed promise for use as TFC extraction columns due to the good flow properties and clean extracts obtained.

Abstract
Membranes from a HEK-293 cell line expressing the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-AR) have been immobilized on an artificial membrane liquid chromatographic stationary phase. The resulting phase was packed into a glass column (1.8 x 0.5 (i.d.) cm) and used in on-line chromatographic system. Frontal displacement affinity chromatography was used to determine the dissociation constants (K(d)) of CGP 12177A (552.6 nM) and (S)-propranolol (84.3 nM). Zonal displacement chromatography using CGP 12177A as the marker and racemic mixtures of the antagonists nadolol and propranolol demonstrated that the immobilized beta(2)-AR retained its ability to specifically bind these compounds. Similar experiments with (R)- and (S)-propranolol demonstrated that the immobilized receptor retained its enantioselectivity as (S)-propranolol displaced the CGP 12177 marker to a great extent that the (R)-enantiomer. The addition of the agonist butoxamine to the mobile phase increased the retention of the CGP-12177A as did the addition of the agonist fenoterol. These results indicate that the immobilized beta(2)-AR retained its ability to undergo ligand-induced conformational changes. The data from this study suggest that the immobilized beta(2)-AR can be used to screen for ligand binding interactions in both the resting and active states of the receptor.

Abstract
Highly sulfated cyclosophoraoses (HS-Cys) were synthesized by the chemical modification of a family of neutral cyclosophoraoses isolated from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii. The HS-Cys were then analytically characterized using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. These HS-Cys were successfully used as a novel chiral additive, in low-pH aqueous background electrolytes, for capillary electrophoretic separation of five basic chiral drugs such as arterenol, atenolol, isoproterenol, propranolol, and metoprolol.

Abstract
The indirect resolution of five beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents (propranolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, metoprolol, and atenolol) using precolumn derivatization with (+)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate (FLEC), and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is reported. Three octadecylsilanized (ODS) silica gel-based stationary phases, differing in particle diameter and carbon surface density for suitability of determination of the enantiomeric composition of these substances in drugs and biological fluids, were studied. Under optimum separation conditions, all the investigated compounds were baseline-resolved within acceptable analysis times (i.e., between 10-16 min). The resolution values ranged between 1.80 and 1.14, and the separation factors were in no case less than 1.07. The possible use of the developed CEC method for the determination of enantiomeric composition of beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents in drug substances was investigated. A study, in which the enantiomers of metoprolol were examined regarding specificity, reproducibility, limit of detection, and ruggedness, was developed in accordance with some analytical procedures for method validation.

Abstract
A reliable method is presented for the chiral separation of three basic drugs (mexiletine, chlorpheniramine and propranolol) with serum albumins (human and porcine, HSA and PSA) as chiral selectors by capillary electrophoresis in combination with the partial filling technique. Based on the systematic optimization of operation variables, the chiral separation of mexiletine, chlorpheniramine and propranolol was achieved in the pH 7.4 phosphate buffer by using HSA, PSA and PSA as selectors, respectively. The chiral recognition ability of HSA and PSA was compared. HSA and PSA show a different chiral recognition ability for each of the three drugs. In addition, the association constants between enantiomeric drugs and proteins were determined to be 2.00 and 3.80 x 10(2) M(-1) for mexiletine and HSA, 0.59 and 1.12 x 10(3) M(-1) for chlorpheniramine and PSA, and 0.87 and 1.42 x 10(3) M(-1) for propranolol and PSA. The method for the chiral separation and determination of association constants possesses the advantages of simple performance, effective avoiding of the interference of the UV detection from protein, and lowering of the reagent consumption.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals or their metabolites are partially excreted with urine or faeces ending up in raw sewage. Many of these substances are not biodegradable and their presence in influents of municipal wastewater treatment plants may cause adverse effects to sensitive biological processes such as nitrification, while on the other hand, they may go through the activated sludge process unreacted. The second step of nitrification, i.e. oxidation of nitrite to nitrate is particularly sensitive. Inhibition of this step under uncontrolled conditions may lead to accumulation of nitrite nitrogen in the plant effluent, a form of nitrogen which is particularly toxic. The effects caused by the presence of seven different pharmaceuticals to a culture of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria isolated from activated sludge are presented. These pharmaceuticals were ofloxacin, propranolol, clofibrate, triclosan, carbamazepine, diclofenac and sulfamethoxazole. Different effects were observed for each of the pharmaceuticals tested in this study. In the cases of ofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole significant inhibition was observed. Triclosan presented a substantial inhibitory effect on the substrate (nitrite) reduction rate. The long-term effect of triclosan on nitrite oxidizers was also examined in a CSTR reactor and conclusions were drawn regarding the reversibility of the inhibition caused by this compound.

Abstract
Cyclosophoraoses isolated from Rhizobium meliloti, as an NMR chiral shift agent, were used to discriminate propranolol enantiomers. Continuous variation plot made from the complex of cyclosophoraoses with propranolol showed that the diastereomeric complex had predominantly 1:1 stoichiometry through UV spectroscopic analysis. The chiral recognition of propranolol enantiomers by cyclosophoraoses was investigated through the determination of binding constant based on the (13)C NMR chemical shift changes. The averaged K(obs) values from the plots were 55.7 M(-1) for (R)-(+)-propranolol and 36.6 M(-1) for (S)-(-)-propranolol, respectively. Enantioselectivity (alpha = K(R+)/K(S(-)) of 1.52 was then obtained. Computational calculation also revealed that (R)-(+) propranolol was more tightly bound with cyclosophoraose than (S)-(-)-propranolol due to the enhanced van der Waals interaction.

Abstract
Resolution of three commonly used beta-blockers, (+/-)-atenolol, (+/-)-metoprolol and (+/-)-propranolol, into their enantiomers has been achieved using normal-phase TLC on silica gel plates impregnated with L-aspartic acid as the chiral selector. Different combinations of acetonitrile-methanol-water as mobile phase were found to be successful in resolving the enantiomers. The spots were detected with iodine and the detection limits were found to be 0.26 microg for atenolol and 0.23 microg for each of metoprolol and propranolol as racemate.

Abstract
The equilibrium solubilities of three drugs (phenazopyridine, propranolol and methimazole) were determined at temperatures ranging from 308 to 348 K and pressures from 122 to 355 bar in supercritical CO2 by a simple and reliable static method. The crossover region was observed for phenazopyridine, propranolol and methimazole at 180 bar. The solubilities were correlated using a semi empirical model. Correlation of the results shows good self-consistency of the data obtained.

Abstract
Previous investigations have shown that the major cellobiohydrolase of Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Cel7D (CBH 58), can be used to separate the enantiomers of a number of drugs, including adrenergic beta blockers such as propranolol. The structural basis of this enantioselectivity is explored here. A 1.5 A X-ray structure of the catalytic domain of Cel7D in complex with (R)-propranolol showed the ligand bound at the active site in glucosyl-binding subsites -1/+1. The catalytic residue Glu207 makes a strong charge-charge interaction with the secondary amine of (R)-propranolol; this is supported by a second interaction of the amine with the nearby Asp209. The aromatic naphthyl group stacks onto the indole ring of Trp373 (normally the glucosyl-binding platform of subsite +1). Other factors also contribute to good complementarity between the ligand and the substrate-binding cleft of the enzyme. Comparison with the previous structure of a related cellulase, Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei, in complex with (S)-propranolol strongly suggests that these enzymes will bind the (S)-enantiomer in a very similar manner, distinct from their mode of binding to (R)-propranolol. Tighter binding of both enzymes to the (S)-enantiomer is largely explained by two additional hydrogen-bonding interactions with its hydroxyl group. The distinct preference for the (R)-enantiomer is probably a consequence of structural differences near the naphthyl group of the ligand.

Abstract
An enantioselective assay for S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cell lines, expressing human cytochrome P450 (CYP), was developed. The method involves extraction of propranolol from the S(9) incubates, using S-(+)-propafenone as internal standard, chiral derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-beta-D-glucopranosyl isothiocyanate and quantitation by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography system with UV detection (lambda=220 nm). A baseline separation of propranolol enantiomers was achieved on a 5-microm reverse-phase ODS column, with a mixture of methanol/water/glacial acetic acid (67:33:0.05, v/v) as mobile phase. The assay is linear from 5 to 500 microM for each enantiomer. The analytical method affords average recoveries of 99.2% and 98.8% for S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol, respectively. The limit of quantitation for the method is 5 microM for both S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol. The reproducibility of the assay is satisfactory (RSD < 10%). The method allowed study of the depletion of S-(-)- and R-(+)-propranolol in transgenic Chinese hamster CHL cell lines expressing CYP3A4, CYP2C18 and CYP2C9.

Abstract
Determination of enantiomeric purity is most often done under overload conditions, which leads to deformed peaks. In general, the best resolutions are obtained when the small peak appears before the large peak in the electropherogram. To be able to determine the R(+)-impurity in the S(-)-form as well as the S(-)-impurity in the R(+)-form the elution orders have to be reversed. The present paper describes reversal of enantiomeric elution order for the basic analyte propranolol and the acidic analyte ibuprofen. For propranolol, a charged heptakis-(6-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (CD) is used in the background electrolyte. For ibuprofen, a mix of the charged heptakis-(6-sulfo)-beta-CD and the uncharged heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-CD is used in the background electrolyte. The use of a coated capillary and reversal of the polarity shift the elution order, buffer composition is unchanged in both cases. The enantiomers of propranolol and ibuprofen are well separated on both the coated and uncoated capillaries. Detection limits of enantiomer impurities are investigated using spiked samples of both propranolol and ibuprofen.

Abstract
The capillary electrophoretic enantioseparation of rac-propranolol using cellobiohydrolase Tr Cel7A as selector was optimized by an unbiased statistical experimental design. A set of pre-experiments was performed in order to identify critical experimental factors. In the definitive chemometric design pH, ranging from 5 to 7, ionic strength ranging between 0.01 and 0.02 and organic solvent additive in concentration from 1 to 19% v/v were studied. The response surface plot revealed a separation optimum in the pH interval studied. When all parameters were taken into account, a background electrolyte consisting of 0.016 M bistris-acetate buffer with pH 6.5 and 17% v/v acetonitrile gave the optimum separation. The significance of the statistical design was confirmed by the generally good agreement obtained between predicted response and actual experimental data.

Abstract
Characterization of the racemic species, which can be a racemic compound, a racemic conglomerate, or a pseudoracemate (solid solution), is a prerequisite for the design of crystallization resolution processes. It is useful to determine the solid/liquid equilibrium solubility of the enantiomer mixtures for crystallization operation. For the beta-blocker drug propranolol hydrochloride, Gibbs free energy of formation of racemic compound and entropy of mixing of the (R)- and (S)- enantiomers in the liquid state for racemic conglomerate were calculated. The structural differences between (R, S)-propranolol hydrochloride and its (S)-enantiomer were further investigated by powder X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, and solid-state NMR spectra. The solubility and metastable zone width of (R, S)- propranolol hydrochloride in a mixed solvent of methanol and acetone were determined by cooling crystallization over the temperature range 3.5-42.5 degrees C. The ternary solubility diagram of (R)-, (S)-propranolol hydrochloride was constructed using the same mixed solvent. The diagram will be useful as a guide for choosing crystallization operation conditions to produce pure enantiomers.

Abstract
A modified parallel factors analysis (PARAFAC) algorithm with a penalty diagonalization error (PDE), newly proposed by the present authors, was utilized to simultaneously resolve drug mixtures of propranolol (PRO), dipyridamole (DIP) and amiloride (AMI) without any loss of sensitivity. The analyses were performed in aqueous solution. The experimental results demonstrated that the profiles of the spectra and the concentrations could be accurately resolved using the PDE algorithm with a high sensitivity and stable repeatability. That is to say, the closely overlapping problem of the spectra could be easily solved. Furthermore, simultaneous determinations of three kinds of tablets, which contain PRO, AMI and DIP, respectively, were successfully performed with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer coatings were synthesized in fused-silica capillary columns by the use of a surface-coupled radical initiator. The coatings were prepared using either toluene, dichloromethane, or acetonitrile in the prepolymerization mixtures and were 0.15-2 microm thick as determined by scanning electron microscopy. Solvent-dependent differences in appearance were observed. All the molecularly imprinted polymer-based open-tubular capillary columns were able to separate the enantiomers of propranolol by means of electrochromatography. Electrochromatographic performance was found to be dependent on the type of solvent used during the synthesis.

Abstract
Coated capillaries can be advantageous in many capillary electrophoretic applications where nonaqueous background electrolytes are used. In the present work, a new dynamic polymer coating (poly(glycidylmethacrylate-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone)) for methanol-based background electrolytes is introduced. The magnitude and stability of electroosmotic flow was investigated with coated capillaries at pH* values of 3, 7.8, and 10.4 in methanol. At pH* 7.8 and 10.4 the electroosmotic flow was negligible and repeatable. On the other hand, at pH* 3 a weak, unstable electroosmotic flow was observed, due to a change in the conformation of the polymer under acidic conditions. The dynamically coated capillaries were successfully applied to the separations of cationic drugs, phenols, and benzoic acids. The synthesis and characterization of the polymer are described in detail.

Abstract
The use of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microparticles in a partial filling application of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) has previously been shown successful for the enantiomer separation of propranolol. In this investigation, the influence of some important parameters in the preparation protocol, i.e., template to monomer ratio, type of cross-linker and functional monomers, and the effect of separation condition, i.e., organic modifier content, pH and the temperature of the column, on the electrochromatographic behavior of the MIP microparticles were studied. It was found that ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EDMA), having two reactive double bonds, was superior in terms CEC performance to trimethylpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) having three and four double bonds, respectively. The use of weak functional monomers, i.e., monomers lacking a strong interaction with the template, was shown to increase the separation efficiency. It was found that the template to functional monomer ratio had a pronounced influence on the MIP microparticle partial filling CEC performance as well as the size of the obtained microparticles. The use of a partial filling technique realizes the use of a new MIP phase in every new separation as well as the ability of altering the selectivity of the separation column and length of the MIP without the need for column switching.

Abstract
A sampling preconcentration method combining electrostacking with isotachophoresis is presented in this paper. The optimum conditions for electrostacking and isotachophoresis were investigated. With the preconcentration conditions of 70 s electrostacking and 40 s isotachophoresis, two medicines, propranolol and metoprolol, with similar structures were separated by capillary zone electrophoresis. The working voltage for all the steps was 15 kV. Being adjusted to pH 4.0, 30 mmol/L NaAc-HAc, 30 mmol/L beta-alanine-HAc and 1.5 mmol/L NaAc-HAc were employed as the background, viz. leading, terminating and sample buffer solutions respectively. In comparing with the conventional electro-migration injection, the enhancement factors in peak height of the present method were about 250 and 160 for propranolol and metoprolol respectively. Total analysis time was similar to that of the conventional one.

Abstract
High-field 1H-NMR methodology for enantiomeric composition determination of the chiral drug propranolol utilizing a chiral solvating agent is reported. Optimal experimental conditions for the resolution of enantiomers were determined by studying the interaction of substrate concentration, chiral solvating agent concentration and temperature. The success of the method is based on the selection of a chiral solvating agent that has the following two characteristics. First, it possesses functional groups that are complimentary to those of the chiral substrate for significant interaction to occur. Second, it has a group of diamagnetic anisotropy near its stereogenic center for translating spatial environments of solute nuclei into different magnetic environments that are measurable by NMR spectroscopy. Optical purities were determined on the basis of the intensities of the methyl proton resonances. The analysis of synthetic enantiomeric mixtures of propranolol by the proposed NMR method resulted in assay values, which agreed closely with the known quantities of each enantiomer in the mixtures tested. The mean +/- SD recovery values for the (R)-(+)-enantiomer was 100.0+/-0.6% of added antipode (n = 7).

Abstract
An analytical column packed with a novel perphenylcarbamate beta-cyclodextrin bonded chiral stationary phase was used to separate propranolol enantiomers. Good separation results were obtained using triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) buffer and methanol mixtures as the mobile phase. Effects of the methanol concentration, buffer concentration and pH value on the retention and the enantioselectivity of propranolol enantiomers were investigated on this column. The retention times and the separation factor decrease with increase of the methanol concentration as expected in reversed-phase HPLC. At trace TEAA amount, the solute eluted out with anti-Langmuirian band profiles, their retention times decreased quickly with increase of TEAA concentration and attained a minimum at a TEAA concentration of 20 ppm. Above 20 ppm, solute band profiles changed to a Langmuirian shape, the retention times of enantiomers increased with increasing buffer concentration, and eventually, they attained asymptotes at ca. 1% TEAA. A simulation considering the different interactions between the solute and the additive at above and below 20 ppm TEAA concentration as well as system peaks interference can successfully explain the anti-Langmuirian band profiles and the retention time variation trend.

Abstract
A propranolol-derived molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared using methacrylic acid as monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker. The extraction properties of five compounds structurally related to propranolol were assessed on the MIP and on a blank polymer made under the same conditions but in the absence of an imprint molecule. Using application from aqueous solution with methanol-water-triethylamine (TEA)-based solvents for elution (i.e. reversed-phase conditions) the MIP showed only marginal selectivity for the compounds on the MIP compared to the blank. Despite the limited selectivity there did appear to be a relationship between structure of the compound (relative to propranolol) and the extent of selective retention. Application of the compounds in toluene with elution using toluene-TEA or toluene-trifluoroacetic acid resulted in the MIP showing dramatically enhanced retention and selectivity of the compounds on the MIP compared to the blank. The enhanced selectivity for extraction on to the MIP relative to the blank, for all compounds using normal-phase solvents seem to be a class effect as there was no apparent relationship between compound structure and retention.

Abstract
Lambda-carrageenan, a linear high molecular weight sulfated polysaccharide, was employed as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis for the separation of enantiomers of weakly basic pharmaceutical compounds. In order to improve the utility of the chiral selector, the purity and concentration of the lambda-carrageenan and other important capillary electrophoresis method parameters were investigated. The results indicated that the purity and concentration of the lambda-carrageenan, ionic strength of the buffer, and temperature were critical to successful enantioseparation. These new method conditions were then applied to previously investigated beta-blockers (such as propranolol HCl and pindolol) and racemic tryptophan derivatives. These studies were successful in identifying important method conditions for the improved enantioselectivity with lambda-carrageenan.

Abstract
The separation factor of two compounds in chromatography is the ratio of their equilibrium constants or retention factors. This parameter is universally employed to investigate their resolution and to optimize the experimental conditions of their analysis. In enantioseparations, the situation is more complex because there is a mixed retention mechanism. The retention factor is the sum of two contributions, one enantioselective, the other nonselective. Although both contribute to retention, the latter being identical for the two enantiomers and does not contribute to their separation. We show how these two contributions can be measured and how it becomes necessary to distinguish between the apparent, alpha(app), and the true, alpha(true), separation factors. The existence of nonselective sites is responsible for alpha(app) being less than alpha(true). Depending on the difference between these two factors, the more effective approach to improve a separation is either to increase the enantioselectivity or to reduce the nonselective interactions. Practical applications to separations of different beta-blockers on cellobiohydrolase are discussed. The apparent enantioselectivity of alprenolol is larger and increases faster with increasing pH than that of the more hydrophobic propranolol, in spite of the importance of hydrophobic interactions in the enantioselective mechanism. These two unexpected properties are discussed and explained.

Abstract
HPLC chiral stationary phases based on human plasma alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and partially deglycosylated AGP (pd-AGP) were prepared to investigate the effects of sugar moiety of AGP on chiral discrimination of various solutes. Removal of a sugar moiety of AGP by treatment with N-glycosidase was confirmed by high-performance capillary electrophoresis, reversed-phase HPLC and matrix-assisted laser desorption-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The average molecular weights of AGP and pd-AGP were estimated to be ca. 33,000 and 30,600, respectively, by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Next, AGP and pd-AGP were bound to aminopropyl-silica gels activated with N,N '-disuccinimidylcarbonate. The retentivity+ and enantioselectivity of the neutral, acidic and basic solutes tested on the pd-AGP column were significantly or not significantly larger in most solutes than those on the AGP column. This is ascribable to that by cleavage of a sugar chain(s) by N-glycosidase, pd-AGP could become more hydrophobic than AGP, and/ or that a solute could be easily accessible to the specific and/or non-specific binding sites of pd-AGP. It is interesting that warfarin enantiomers are not resolved on the pd-AGP column, but resolved on the AGP column. A sugar chain(s) of AGP cleaved by N-glycosidase might be involved in the enantioselective binding of warfarin enantiomers.

Abstract
As capillary electrochromatography (CEC) combines the desirable features of both high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and high performance capillary electrophoresis(HPCE), CEC is an attractive alternative for enantiomer separation. The applications and developments in the field of chiral drug separation by CEC are reviewed with 92 references, including different operating models and different chiral agents and stationary phases.
