Green Chiral HPLC Method for Lumefantrine Analysis: Method Development, Greenness Assessment, and Computational Studies. [PDF]
A green chiral HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of lumefantrine enantiomers. The method employs ethanol as a mobile phase as a sustainable and efficient alternative to hexane. The chiral recognition mechanism and elution order of the enantiomers were investigated using electronic circular dichroism and molecular docking ...
