Mephedrone, a psychoactive compound derived from cathinone, is widely used as a designer drug. The determination of mephedrone and its metabolites is important for understanding its possible use in medicine. In this work, a method of capillary electrophoresis for the chiral separation of mephedrone and its metabolites was developed. Carboxymethylated β-cyclodextrin was selected as the most effective chiral selector from seven tested cyclodextrin derivates. Based on the simplex method, the optimal composition of the background electrolyte was determined: at pH 2.75 and 7.5 mmol·L−1 carboxymethylated β-cyclodextrin the highest total resolution of a mixture of analytes was achieved. For mephedrone and its metabolites, calibration curves were constructed in a calibration range from 0.2 to 5 mmol·L−1; limits of detection, limits of quantification, precision, and repeatability were calculated, and according to Mandel’s fitting test, the linear calibration ranges were determined.

The aim of this research is to use capillary electrophoresis to establish/determine the binding constants for ofloxacin and ornidazole enantiomers with the negatively charged chiral selector sulfated-β-cyclodextrin (S-β-CD). Using electrophoretic mobility values of ofloxacin and ornidazole enantiomers at various concentrations of S-β-CD used in the context of background electrolyte (BGE), binding constants were calculated using three separate linearization plots, namely double-reciprocal, X-reciprocal and Y-reciprocal. The R-ofloxacin enantiomer-S-β-CD complex had the highest inclusion affinity of the ofloxacin and ornidazole enantiomers, which matched with previously reported estimation. Every enantiomer-S-β-CD complex’s binding constants, as well as thermodynamic binding parameters, were calculated at different temperatures. The host-guest binding constants using double reciprocal fit showed greater linearity (R2 > 0.99) at all temperature ranges measured (15-30 ºC) as compared to the other two fit approaches. The thermodynamic complexation parameters were found to be dependent on the temperature of the enantiomers, as seen by the linear van’t Hoff (15-30 ºC) plot.

This work presented a capillary electrophoresis method with indirect laser-induced fluorescence detection for the simultaneous determination of phenol and four chlorophenol derivatives. The separation was obtained within 20 minutes with a background electrolyte composed of 5 mM borax and 1 mM fluorescein (pH=9.75), 17 kV of applied voltage, and 120 s of hydrostatic injection. At the optimal conditions, the limit of detections for phenolic compounds was in the range of 0.08-0.23 mg/l, and the RSD data of repeatability and reproducibility were less than 8.0% for both migration times and peak areas. This developed method was applied to analyse concentrations of phenolic compounds in surface water and wastewater samples, with the recoveries ranging from 59.4 to 102.5%.
