Cyclodextrins

 

These macrocyclic carbohydrate compounds
are widely used as buffer additives to obtain
chiral separations in CE. However, the can
also be used to adjust the selectivity in nonchiral
applications. There are three naturally
occurring forms, a, b and g which have 6, 7
and 8 glucose units respectively. The structure
of b-cyclodextrin is shown below. The hydroxyl
units on the top of the cyclodextrin are chirally
positioned and have different interactions with
solute enantiomers when they are included
into the cyclodextrin cavities. The hydroxyl
groups can be chemically derivatised to give
a range of neutral and ionic derivatives which
give different chiral separations and are more
water soluble that the naturally occurring forms.


Neutral cyclodextrin derivatives most
frequently used in CE are:

O- dimethyl-cyclodextrin
O- trimethyl-cyclodextrin
O- hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin

The most commonly used ionic forms are:

O- cyclodextrin sulphonic acid
O- carboxymethyl-cyclodextrin
O- amino-cyclodextrin

Structure of b-cyclodextrin                             Schematic Representation

                                                                                                          The shape of cyclodextrins is often
                                                                                                          represented as a cone shaped cavity as
                                                                                                          shown below.


In order to obtain high efficiency separations
it is necessary that the cyclodextrins used as
CE additives are extremely pure.
Electrokinetic technologies offers a wide range
of both natural and derivatised cyclodextrins		 at CE grade purity. In addition to the
cyclodextrins listed below, other derivatives
are available on request. Please contact our
sales office for details.
