| Abstract: | Biotin, analogues, and chemical intermediates were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using reversed-phase and anion-exchange chromatographic conditions. Reversed-phase separations provided a wide range of retention times and resolution of nearly all the biotin compounds from mixtures of the analogues. Anion-exchange separations gave generally shorter retention times as compared to reversed-phase separations and greater resolution between biotin l- and d-sulfoxide. However, fewer analogues were resolved from mixtures of the compounds with anion-exchange HPLC. |
