Separation of chiral compounds by capillary electrophoresis

This review presents the different chiral selectors used in capillary elect rophoresis (CE) for the separation of enantiomers. The use of charged cyclo dextrins, crown ethers, polysaccharides, proteins, natural and synthetic mi celles, macrocyclic antibiotics and ergot alkaloids is discussed in detail. Neutral native and derivatized cyclodextrins are not treated because sever al review articles have already been published on this topic. Recent develo pments like the application of two chiral selectors in the same background electrolyte are highlighted.
