2-Hydroxybutyl-β-cyclodextrins (HB-β-CyDs) with different degrees of substitution (D.S.) were prepared and their physicochemical and biological properties and solubilizing abilities were studied and compared with those of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CyD). The surface activity of HB-β-CyD was higher than that of HP-β-CyD (D.S.

Fluorous derivatization followed by fluorous-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) separation exploits the affinity between perfluoroalkyl compounds for highly selective and quantitative isolation of various analytes. However, the applicability of this technique as a simple pretreatment for fluorometric determination in clinical settings
