The aim of this study was to compare the miniaturised techniques, capillary electrochromatography (CEC) and capillary liquid chromatography (CLC), for the chiral separation of chlorthalidone. In both cases, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin was used as a chiral selector in the mobile phase, while an achiral stationary phase was used. Earlier, this separation was already optimised in CEC. Now, the separation was optimised in CLC. The influence of the organic modifier content and the cyclodextrin concentration on the separation was studied by means of a central composite design. Optimal separation conditions were determined, after response modelling, from the response surface contour plots. When these conditions were compared with those of the CEC optimisation, we can see the potential of using CLC as a chiral separation technique since less chiral selector was used, faster separations were obtained and better repeatability was observed in comparison with its electrical-driven counterpart.
Different beta-cyclodextrins have been tested as chiral additives in the mobile phase for the chromatographic analysis of chlorthalidone enantiomers in a C18 LiChrospher (125 x 4 mm I.D.) column. The effect on enantioresolution of different parameters was studied: composition of the mobile phase (percentage of organic solvent, type of buffer and pH), mobile phase flow-rate, and type and concentration of beta-cyclodextrin. A 25:75 mixture of methanol and 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 4, containing 2% triethylamine (v/v), and 12.5 mM beta-cyclodextrin, at a flow-rate of 0.8 ml/min, was found to be the best option for the resolution of chlorthalidone enantiomers. Under such conditions, linear calibration curves were obtained in the 0.5-20-microg/ml interval using UV detection at 230 nm. The limit of detection for both isomers was 50 ng/ml. The utility of the described assay has been tested by analyzing chlorthalidone in different pharmaceutical preparations. Examples of application to biological samples are also given.
