DESCRIPTION
This π-acceptor chiral stationary phase is particularly valuable in the HPLC separation of β-blocker enantiomers, an important class of cardiovascular drugs whose enantiomers often exhibit differing pharmacological activities. The α-Burke 2 has been specifically designed to separate the enantiomers of β-blockers without chemical derivatization. In addition, it also resolves the enantiomers of many compounds separated on π-acceptor Pirkle type chiral stationary phases.
