2 Why chiral analysis of drugs?
Enantiomers: The same thing – only different?
different pharmacological activities different toxicological profiles different pharmacokinetic properties Enantiomers should be considered different entities.
Drug Activity eutomer Activity distomer Penicillamine (S): antiarthritic (R): toxic Ethambutol (S,S): tuberculostatic (R,R): causes blindness Cetirizine (R): antihistaminic (S): inactive DOPA (S): antiparkinsonian (R): agranulocytoxic Ketamine (S): anesthetic/analgesic (R): hallucinogenic

52 Conclusions
CE is a powerful technique for enantioseparations including the determination of the enantiomeric purity of compounds. CE often allows the simultaneous separation of stereoisomeric impurities and (achiral) related substances. Robust CE methods can be developed for the analysis of stereoisomeric as well as achiral impurities at LOQ levels comparable to HPLC methods. Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) strategies including predefined method characteristics and chemometric Design of Experiments (DoE) for rational method development result in robust methods with known risk of failure. CE is a suitable technique to study mechanistic aspects of selector- selectand interactions and mechanistic aspects of stereoisomer separations.
