This report highlights the most recent enantiomer separation strategies applied in capillary electrophoresis (CE), using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) 2-arylpropionic acids as model compounds. It is mainly focused on method development and validation, along with pharmaceutical and biomedical application, where chiral selectors (CSs) are used. There is a large number of CSs that have, over the years, been synthesized and used in electrophoretic enantioseparations. In this review article, their advantages, their chiral recognition mechanisms and their performance are presented and discussed in particular.
