Direct separation of the enantiomers of ramosetron on a chlorinated cellulose‐based chiral stationary phase in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode

Ramosetron is an enantiopure active pharmaceutical ingredient marketed in Japan since 1996 and later in a few Southeast Asian countries predominantly as an antiemetic for patients receiving chemotherapy. In this study, a simple and rapid high‐performance liquid chromoatography method for the separation of ramosetron and its related enantiomeric impurity by using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode is presented. Chiral resolution was performed on an analytical column (100 mm × 4.6 mm id) packed with 3 μm particles of cellulose‐based Chiralpak IC‐3 chiral stationary phase. Using a mobile phase containing acetonitrile–water–diethylamine (100:10:0.1, v/v/v) and setting the column temperature at 35°C, the resolution value was 7.35. At a flow rate of 1 mL/min, the enantioseparation was completed within 5 min. The proposed method was partially validated and it has proven to be sensitive with limit of detection and limit of quantitation of the (S)‐enantiomer impurity of 44.5 and 133.6 ng/mL.

Chiral Separations in Normal‐phase Liquid Chromatography: Updating a Screening Strategy with a Chlorine‐containing Polysaccharide‐based Selector

The screening conditions of an existing column and mobile phase selection strategy for chiral compounds in normal‐phase high performance liquid chromatography (NP‐HPLC) were tested for their applicability on Chiralpak IC, which is a chiral stationary phase (CSP) made by immobilising cellulosic tris (3,5‐dichlorophenyl‐carbamate) on silica gel. In this study, the applicability of the optimization steps of the existing separation strategy was examined using 36 compounds representing the three possible resolution situations that occur after screening. The cumulative number of separated compounds is 27 (75.0 %), and the cumulative number of baseline separated compounds is 19 (52.8 %).     

Characterization of Column Hold-Up Volume with Static and Dynamic Methods on an Immobilized Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are efficient for enantioseparation of many chiral compounds. Immobilized polysaccharide CSP, as used in the Chiralpak IA column, is a new configuration that was recently introduced for application in chiral separation. As shown in several previous studies, the characteristics of Chiralpak IA columns cannot be simply extrapolated from the coated version. In this study, hold-up volume of a Chiralpak IA column was evaluated by static and dynamic methods. The static pyconometry method gave similar hold-up volumes either as an average value from a range of solvents or a direct measurement from the carbon tetrachloride-isopropanol (IPA) solvent pair. The dynamic method with 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene (TTBB) was influenced by the ratio of n-hexane and 2-propanol in the mobile phase but not by the dissolving solvent of TTBB. The two methods resulted in the same hold-up volume of ∼3.0 mL. TTBB showed weaker retention on the IA column after correction of isobaric thermal expansion of the mobile phase. During temperature variations in the range of 15–50 °C, the hold-up volume of TTBB was highly reproducible. Results of this study improve our understanding of the chromatographic features of the immobilized polysaccharide IA column.

Enantioseparation of paroxetine intermediate on an amylose-derived chiral stationary phase by supercritical fluid chromatography

The enantioseparation of trans-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-(4′-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl piperidine-2,6-dione (3), which is one of the important racemic precursors of trans-(−)-paroxetine, has been investigated using supercritical fluid chromatography on a Daicel Chiralpak AD column. Supercritical CO₂ modified with methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol were used as mobile phase. The influence of type and concentration of alcohol modifier on retention factor, enantioselectivity and resolution were studied. Among methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol, 2-propanol was proved to be the most favorable modifier, and 9.5% (v/v) of 2-propanol was the preferred concentration at which racemate 3 could be separated with resolution of 15.86 and retention factor of 6.323. The effects of pressure and temperature were investigated at 9.5% (v/v) of 2-propanol in the pressure range of 12–24 MPa and temperature range of 303.15–318.15 K. It was found that the lower pressure and temperature were favorable to the enantioseparation. Using van’t Hoff plot, the isoenantioselective temperature was calculated to be 410 K. The enantioseparation process was “enthalpically driven” under experimental conditions. Finally, the retention factors were satisfactorily correlated by a simplified lattice–fluid model with average absolute relative deviation (AARD%) of both enantiomers smaller than 1.76%.     

Direct high-performance liquid chromatography enantioseparation of terazosin on an immobilised polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase under polar organic and reversed-phase conditions

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enantioseparation of terazosin (TER) was accomplished on the immobilised-type Chiralpak IC chiral stationary phase (CSP) under both polar organic and reversed-phase modes. A simple analytical method was validated using a mixture of methanol–water–DEA 95:5:0.1 (v/v/v) as a mobile phase. Under reversed-phase conditions good linearities were obtained over the concentration range 8.76–26.28 μg mL⁻¹ for both enantiomers. The limits of detection and quantification were 10 and 30 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The intra- and inter-day assay precision was less than 1.66% (RSD%). The optimised conditions also allowed to resolve chiral and achiral impurities from the enantiomers of TER. The proposed HPLC method supports pharmacological studies on the biological effects of the both forms of TER and analytical investigations of potential drug formulations based on a single enantiomer. At the semipreparative scale, 5.3 mg of racemic sample were resolved with elution times less than 12 min using a mobile phase consisting of methanol–DEA 100:0.1 (v/v) and both enantiomers were isolated with a purity of ≥99% enantiomeric excess (ee). The absolute configuration of TER enantiomers was assigned by comparison of the measured specific rotations with those reported in the literature.     

Chiral separation of omeprazole and several related benzimidazoles using supercritical fluid chromatography

A study of the enantiomeric separation of omeprazole and several related benzimidazoles, using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), on the amylose based column Chiralpak AD is presented in this work. The effect of the organic modifier as well as temperature on the retention and enantioresolution was investigated. Alcohol-type modifiers provided the best results, allowing the enantiomeric separation of all the compounds studied with resolutions that were in most cases higher than 2, and analysis times lower than 10 minutes. An investigation of the temperature effect revealed that the isoelution temperature was below the working temperature range in only two cases, and hence it was better to work at the highest temperature permitted.     

Lipase-mediated enantioselective kinetic resolution of racemic acidic drugs in non-standard organic solvents: Direct chiral liquid chromatography monitoring and accurate determination of the enantiomeric excesses

The enantioselective resolution of a set of racemic acidic compounds such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) of the group arylpropionic acid derivatives is demonstrated. Thus, a set of lipases were screened and manipulated in either the esterification or hydrolysis mode for the enantioselective kinetic resolution of these racemates in non-standard organic solvents. The accurate determination of the enantiomeric excesses of both substrate and product during such reaction is demonstrated. This was based on the development of a direct and reliable enantioselective high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure for the simultaneous baseline separation of both substrate and product in one run without derivatization. This was achieved using the immobilized chiral stationary phase namely Chiralpak IB, a 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate derivative of cellulose (the immobilized version of Chiralcel OD) which proved to be versatile for the monitoring of the lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemates in non-standard organic solvents.     

Enantioseparation of racemic paroxol on an amylose‐based chiral stationary phase by supercritical fluid chromatography

The separation of racemic paroxol, a key precursor of trans‐(?)‐paroxetine, on Chiralpak AD‐H, an amylose‐based chiral stationary phase, by supercritical fluid chromatography was studied. Pulse experiments were investigated using supercritical carbon dioxide modified with methanol (MeOH), ethanol and 2‐propanol at 35°C and 15 MPa. Retention and separation factors were determined under analytical conditions for different mobile phase compositions. Among the modifiers used, MeOH was shown to be the best additive, and 5% v/v of MeOH was the preferable concentration at which selectivity of 1.14 and resolution of 3.0 was obtained. In order to evaluate the potential with respect to preparative separations, the adsorption isotherms of individual enantiomers of paroxol were estimated using the elution by characteristic point method. Isotherm parameters were determined from the overloaded elution profiles that were collected at pressure ranging from 15 to 24 MPa. The isotherms obtained were further validated by comparing experimentally recorded elution profiles with the predictions based on the equilibrium‐dispersive model. The results are important to the process design and optimization of preparative supercritical fluid chromatography application.
