Abstract
A capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) method was applied to the simultaneous separation of barbiturates (barbital, phenobarbital, secobarbital and thiopental) and benzodiazepines (nitrazepam, diazepam and triazolam). The separation was performed in a 75 microm i.d. capillary, packed with 3-(1,8-naphthalimido)propyl-modified silyl silica gel (NAIP), studying the effects of buffer pH and mobile phase composition. Using an applied voltage of 20 kV and the short-end injection method (9 cm capillary effective length), the mobile phase of 1.0 mM citrate buffer (pH 5.0) containing 45% methanol provided the baseline separation of seven toxic drugs in less than 9 min. In CEC with NAIP, the benzodiazepines were separated by the combination of hydrophobic and pi-pi interactions, whereas the separation of the barbiturates was based on the hydrophobic interaction.
