摘要

Chiral separation of D,L-Norgestrel was successfully performed by cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) method. Optimized CEC conditions for purity testing were achieved: Hypersil C-18 packed capillary and 10 mM 2-[N-morpholino]-ethanesulfonic acid buffer (MES) and 40 v/v % methanol as background electrolyte containing 10 mM gamma-cyclodextrin at pH = 5.5. The resolution was found to be strongly dependent on the concentration of chiral selector gamma-cyclodextrin, applied voltage and temperature of the capillary. Our results represent a simple, fast and reproducible method for the separation of D,L-Norgestrel and purity testing of D-Norgestrel. It can be concluded that cyclodextrin modified HPLC, HPCE and CEC offer inexpensive, attractive and reliable chiral separation methods.
