TLDR
The micellar capillary electrophoresis technique was found to be suitable for the analysis of purified ecdysteroid-rich extracts of plants and the eggs of the desert locust and the elution order of the analytes was similar to that obtained using reversed-phase HPLC.
Abstract
The technique of micellar capillary electrophoresis has been applied to the separation of ecdysteroids (polyhydroxylated insect hormones) both as pure standards and in the extracts of plants and insect eggs. Succesful separations of a range of closely related ecdysteroids were obtained, however, the quality of the result was found to be critically dependent on the solvent in which the sample was applied and the degree of purity of the extracts. The technique was found to be suitable for the analysis of purified ecdysteroid-rich extracts of plants (Silene nutans, S. otites) and the eggs of the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). The elution order of the analytes was similar to that obtained using reversed-phase HPLC.

Distribution of phytoecdysteroids in the Caryophyllaceae.

TL;DR: It was found that phytoecdysteroids were present predominantly in the Genera Lychnis, Petrocoptis, Sagina and Silene, and close association of ecdysteroid occurrence with certain groups of this tribe was revealed.

Separation of estrogens by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

TL;DR: Capillary electrophoresis of the sex hormone estrogens using different buffer components was investigated and the addition of modifiers such as organic solvents or cyclodextrins improved resolutions significantly.
