Abstract
In this study, sulfopropyl ether β-cyclodextrin polymer (SPE-β-CDP) with simple synthesis steps using cheap reagents was large-scalely prepared. Characterization results showed the average sulfonic group substitution in each β-CD molecule was about 7.261, and there were 195.87 μmol/g β-CD units in polymer. It was low viscosity and produced a little effect on column pressure. It was used as chiral selectors first time to add into mobile phase to separate 13 chiral drugs in HPLC. After investigation, results showed buffer pH, chiral additive concentration, organic phase proportion in mobile phase and flow rate could affect chiral separation. High separation ability of SPE-β-CDP was proved through baseline separation of 12 drugs which attributed to the homogeneity of SPE-β-CDP in sulfonic acid group substitution degree and position. The resolutions of salbutamol, bisoprolol, chlorpheniramine, propranolol and metoprolol could be even up to 7.47–19.02, which were significantly better than that of some references. Separations of 4 chiral drugs were even better than that of CE. Compared with monomer, SPE-β-CDP showed better chiral separation ability. SPE-β-CDP could be used in both of C8 and C18 columns. It was stable in batches and showed good recyclability and reusability. These provided a new strategy for chiral separation.
