Development of a Chiral Capillary Electrophoresis Method for the Enantioseparation of Verapamil Using Cyclodextrins as Chiral Selectors and Experimental Design Optimization

Chirality is a property of asymmetry which determines the pharmacokinetic and pharmacological profiles of optically active pharmaceuticals. Verapamil (VER), a calcium channel blocker phenylalkylamine derivative used in the treatment of cardio-vascular diseases, is a chiral compound, marketed as a ra...
