Enantiomeric separation of 1,3-dimethylamylamine by capillary electrophoresis with indirect UV detection using a dual-selector system
The CE method employing an indirect UV detection for the enantioseparation of 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA), widely used in various preworkout and dietary supplements labeled as a constituent of geranium extract has been developed. The dual-selector system consisting of negatively charged sulfated alpha-CD (1.1% w/v) and sulfated beta-CD (0.2% w/v) in 5 mM phosphate/Tris buffer (pH 3.0) containing the addition of 10 mM benzyltriethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) as the chromophoric additive was used for the enantiomeric separation of DMAA stereoisomers with the LODs in the range of 7.82-9.24 mu g/mL. The method was partly validated and applied for the determination of the stereoisomeric composition of DMAA in commercial dietary supplements to verify the potential natural origin of DMAA.
