ABSTRACT
An analytical CE method was developed for the enantiomeric purity determination of fluvastatin enantiomers. Fluvastatin enantiomers were separated on an uncoated fused silica with 100 mM-borate solution containing 30 mg/mL of (2-hydroxypropyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) as running buffer and fenoprofen as an internal standard. The linearity was observed within a 400-700 microg/mL concentration range (r(2)>or=0.995) for both fluvastatin enantiomers. The repeatability expressed as coefficient of variation (CV) of the method were 0.96 and 0.92% for (+)-3R, 5S and (-)-3S, 5R-fluvastatin, respectively. The limit of detection and quantification for both fluvastatin enantiomers were 1.5 microg/mL and 2.5 microg/mL, respectively.
