Supercritical fluid chromatography, using carbon dioxide as the mobile phase and ethanol as a modifier, has been applied to the analysis of products formed in rat liver microsomal metabolism of racemic camazepam, a hypnotic/anxiolytic drug in clinical use. An achiral (amino) column and a chiral (Chiralcel OD-H) column were used. The results suggest that achiral and chiral packed-column supercritical fluid chromatography gives a shorter analysis time and higher selectivity and efficiency than achiral and chiral stationary-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in the analysis of camazepam and its derivatives.
