Metal organic frameworks have received great attention as the chiral stationary phase for racemic drug separation because of their fascinating structures and properties. However, the most homochiral metal organic frameworks were constructed by rare and precious chiral organic ligands. In this work, an achiral metal organic framework, together with a natural chiral selector carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin built a synergistic separation system in the open tubular capillary electrochromatography. The novel coated columns were developed by inducing metal organic framework nanoparticles to grow on the imidazolyl functional capillary inner wall. The baseline separations of hydroxychloroquine, ofloxacin, and atenolol were achieved in the synergistic separation system. The effects of the concentration of chiral selector, pH, voltage, and the concentration of organic additives were studied. Compared with chiral selector auxiliary bare capillary, the resolutions of three drugs were remarkably improved. The relative standard deviations for the retention time of intraday (n = 6), interday (n = 6), and column-to-column were less than 2.1, 2.6, and 5.2%, respectively. These results demonstrate that affordable synergistic separation systems are prospective for racemic drug enantioseparation in capillary electrochromatography.

In this paper, the use of clarithromycin lactobionate, a kind of antibiotic chiral selector, in combination with four neutral cyclodextrin derivatives (glucose-β-cyclodextrin, hydroxyethyl-β-cyclodextrin, methyl-β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) was reported for the first time. As a result, these dual systems gave much better resolution of nefopam (the Rs increased to 3.58, 2.72, 1.49 and 1.42, respectively) compared to the single systems. The effects of buffer pH and selector concentration on the separation of nefopam were also investigated. Additionally, some other basic drugs including metoprolol, atenolol, propranolol, bisoprolol, esmolol and ritodrine were tested for the investigation and evaluation of the enantiorecognition capability of the four dual systems. As expected, the synergistic effect was observed in four systems. Different results of these dual systems were also summarized.
