Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop an HPLC method with a bonded cellulose chiral stationary phase for the chiral separating enantiomers of nefopam hydrochloride.
METHODS Nefopam hydrochloride was separated by a Chiralpak IC (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 25℃ and detected at 267 nm, the mobile phase was
n-hexane-isopropanol(90:10, 0.1% DEA) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL·min
-1.
RESULTS Nefopam hydrochloride enantiomers were separated on a cellulose bonded chiral stationary phase and the resolution was 6.53.
CONCLUSION The method can be used for quickly separating the enantiomers of nefopam hydrochloride.
