Enantiomers of terfenadine were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral stationary phase (CSP) column packed with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) covalently bound to silica. Separation was achieved in both the reverse phase and normal phase modes. Resolution of enantiomers was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible absorption, circular dichroism, and mass spectral analysis.
