Abstract

ITP has been attracting constant attention for many years due to its principal capability to concentrate trace analytes by several orders of magnitude. In the current capillary format, it is able to concentrate trace analytes diluted to several microliters of an original sample into concentrated zones having volumes in the range of picoliters. Due to this reason, ITP holds an important position in many current multistage and multidimensional separation schemes. This article links up previous reviews on the topic and summarizes the progress of analytical capillary ITP since 2002. Almost 100 papers are reviewed that include methodological novelties, instrumental aspects, and analytical applications. Papers using ITP and/or isotachophoretic principles as part of multistage and/or multidimensional separation schemes are also included.

Alternative statistical parameter for high-throughput screening assay quality assessment.

High-throughput screening is an essential process in drug discovery. The ability to identify true active compounds depends on the high quality of assays and proper analysis of data. The Z factor, presented by Zhang et al. in 1999, provides an easy and useful summary of assay quality and has been a widely accepted standard. However, as data analysis has undergone much improvement recently, the assessment of assay quality has not evolved in parallel. In this article, the authors study the implications of Z factor values under different conditions and link the Z factor with the power of discovering true active compounds. They discuss the different interpretations of Z factor depending on error distributions and advocate direct analysis of power as assay quality assessment. They also propose that in estimating assay quality parameters, adjustments in data analysis should be taken into account. Studying the power of identifying true "hits" gives a more direct interpretation of assay quality and may provide guidance in assay optimization on some occasions.

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in pharmaceutical analysis.

This review presents different solvents and electrolytes commonly used as BGEs in NACE for the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds. Most NACE applications carried out since 1998 for the analysis of compounds of pharmaceutical interest are presented in four tables: (i) analysis of drugs and related substances, (ii) analysis of chiral substances, (iii) analysis of phytochemical extracts and (iv) analysis of drugs in biological fluids. These selected examples are used to illustrate the interest in NACE versus conventional aqueous CE.

Polymorphism and solvatomorphism 2005.

Papers and patents that deal with polymorphism (crystal systems for which a substance can exist in structures characterized by different unit cells, but where each of the forms consists of exactly the same elemental composition) and solvatomorphism (systems where the crystal structures of the substance are defined by different unit cells, but where these unit cells differ in their elemental composition through the inclusion of one or molecules of solvent) have been summarized in an annual review. The works cited in this review were published during 2005, and were drawn primarily from the major physical, crystallographic, and pharmaceutical journals. The review is divided into sections that cover articles of general interest, computational and theoretical studies, preparative and isolation methods, structural characterization and properties of polymorphic and solvatomorphic systems, studies of phase transformations, effects associated with secondary processing, and United States patents issued during 2005.
