Peptide and peptidomimetic chiral selectors in liquid chromatography

The application of peptide and peptidomimetic chiral selectors in LC is reviewed in this article. In particular, methods for finding these types of selectors using combinatorial library approaches are discussed, as well as recent advances in the use of peptides and peptidomimetics as general chiral selectors for LC. In terms of the library approaches, batch screening and reciprocal screening are discussed. As for general chiral selectors, one example involves the application of chiral diamide phases. Another example shows the versatility of oligoproline chiral stationary phases, which exhibit resolution for a number of racemic analytes, comparable to other well-established chiral stationary phases.     

Effect of multivalency on the performance of enantioselective separation media for chiral HPLC prepared by linking multiple selectors to a porous polymer support via aliphatic dendrons

Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) containing L-proline indananilide chiral selectors attached through a multivalent dendritic linker to monodisperse macroporous poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) beads have been prepared using two different approaches. The convergent method involves the preparation of ligands in solution and their subsequent attachment to the support. The divergent approach is based on the stepwise "on-bead" formation of the linker using methods that are typical of solid-phase synthesis. While the convergent CSPs feature well-defined ligands, their loading is relatively low. In contrast, the divergent technique affords CSPs with higher loading but with more limited control over precise ligand architecture. Excellent enantioselectivities characterized by separation factors of up to 31 were achieved for the separation of racemic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acid alkyl amides with these new CSPs under normal-phase HPLC conditions.     

Synthesis of a new family of four deoxycholic acid derived chiral stationary phases and their evaluation in the HPLC resolution of racemic compounds

Four new chiral selectors obtained by suitable derivatization of the hydroxyl groups of the deoxycholic acid with two identical (homoderivatized) or different (heteroderivatized) arylisocyanates have been prepared and linked covalently to silica gel to obtain new chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the HPLC separation of enantiomers. The CSPs containing two identical substituents are able to enantiodiscriminate different classes of racemic compounds, or the same racemates to a different extent, a property which depends on the different electronic character of the arylcarbamate moieties. The heteroderivatized CSPs retain the character of the two homoderivatized phases: however, the relative position of the two different arylcarbamate moieties on the deoxycholic backbone strongly affects the enantiodiscrimination capability of these two CSPs.     

Recent advances in peptide chiral selectors for electrophoresis and liquid chromatography

The application of peptides in chiral separations using techniques such as capillary electrophoresis (CE), electrokinetic capillary chromatography (EKC) and liquid chromatography is the focus of this review. Methods for finding peptide selectors using combinatorial library approaches are discussed, as well as recent advances in the use of peptides as general chiral selectors for electrophoresis and liquid chromatography. One example shows the effectiveness of polymeric dipeptide surfactants as general chiral selectors for electrophoresis. Another example shows the versatility of oligoproline chiral stationary phases, exhibiting resolution for a number of racemic analytes comparable to other well-established chiral stationary phases.     

Effect of the presence of a free hydroxyl group on the enantiodiscrimination properties of cholic acid based CSPs bearing 2-naphthylcarbamate and 3,5-dinitrophenylcarbamate moieties in the HPLC resolution of racemic compounds

Two new chiral selectors, obtained by derivatizing two of the three hydroxyl groups of cholic acid with 2-naphthylisocyanate and 3,5-dinitrophenylisocyanate, have been prepared and linked to silica gel to obtain chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the HPLC separation of enantiomers. The enantiodiscriminating capability of the two CSPs has been compared to that of the analogous CSP obtained from an exhaustively derivatized cholic acid based selector, in order to establish the effect of the presence of a free hydroxyl group on the enantiodiscrimination properties of this kind of selector. The chromatographic results demonstrate that the enantioselectivity of these selectors strongly depends on the position of the hydroxyl group on the cholestanic backbone.     

双选择体手性固定相中选择体的构型对分离性能的影响

为研究选择体的构型对双选择体固定相手性识别的影响,以(1S,2S)-(~)-二苯基乙二胺及L-(~)-二苯甲酰酒石酸为手性源,合成了一种新的双选择体固定相,并用不同结构的手性样品测试了其手性分离能力。结果表明,这种固定相与以(1R,2R)-(+)-二苯基乙二胺及L(~)-二苯甲酰酒石酸为手性源制备的双选择体固定相有相当的手性分离能力,但这两种固定相所能分离的化合物不尽相同。对双选择体固定相中两个选择体的构型对固定相手性识别的影响进行了探讨。在手性识别中,以不同手性源制备的两个选择体的立体构型不能同时与一个手性样品的立体构型相匹配,从而导致相应的双选择体固定相手性分离能力的下降。

Covalently bonded polysaccharide derivatives as chiral stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography

Polysaccharide derivatives have been extensively used as chromatographic chiral selectors in chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for the separation of enantiomers by HPLC. When coated onto a silica matrix, they represent nowadays one of the most popular type of CSPs. However, they are only compatible with a limited choice of solvents. The main drawback of these CSPs is related to the solubility of the chiral selector in a number of solvents, which limits their applicability. The different attempts which have been described up to now to overcome this problem by covalently fixing the chiral selector to a matrix are reviewed in this paper.     

Preparation of highly selective stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers by direct copolymerization of monomers with single or twin chiral ligands

Uniformly sized macroporous polymer beads, which can be used as chiral stationary phase (CSP), have been prepared by the staged templated suspension polymerization process using chiral monomer as one of the copolymerization components. This approach enables the preparation of CSPs for which properties such as pore size, pore volume, surface area, chemistry, and chiral ligands can be tuned over a broad range. Several types of well-defined chiral monomers were prepared and allowed to assess synergistic effect of multiple selectors attached to a branched linker as well as the effect of the length and chemistry of the linker. Microscale batch screening was used for simple and rapid evaluation of selectivity. The most promising candidate CSPs were prepared on a larger scale and packed into HPLC columns. Their performance was demonstrated on the separation of racemic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-alpha-amino acid alkylamides. The highest separation factors alpha of up to 27 were observed for CSPs prepared from monomers containing the branched spacer. These highly selective CSPs also enabled the separation of larger amounts of the target racemates upon column overload conditions.     

High-performance liquid chromatography chiral stationary phases based on low-molecular-mass selectors

A review of HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on low molecular mass selectors is given. The review is focused on brush- and monomeric-type CSPs obtained by covalent linkage of chiral selectors, with emphasis on those obtained by total synthesis. Emphasis is given to new, emerging aspects like enantioseparations on receptor-like chiral stationary phases and dynamic enantioselective chromatography of stereolabile compounds.     

Small Molecules as Chromatographic Tools for HPLC Enantiomeric Resolution: Pirkle-Type Chiral Stationary Phases Evolution

This review focuses on the evolution of Pirkle-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs), based on chiral recognition mechanism of small molecules and applications directly related with Medicinal Chemistry. Therefore, the strategies to plan these chiral selectors for enantioseparation of diverse therapeutic classes of chiral drugs and the understanding of the recognition mechanism are emphasized. The planning of Pirkle and co-workers to design different classes of CSPs was initially based on NMR studies, following the principle of reciprocity together with chromatographic results and studies of chiral recognition phenomena. All those features are described and critically discussed in this review. Finally, based on general principles established by Pirkle’s work it can be inferred that diverse chiral small molecules can be successfully used as chromatographic tools for enantiomeric resolution. In this context, several research groups were inspired on Pirkle’s design to develop new CSPs. Xanthone derivatives bonded to chiral groups were also exploited as selectors for CSPs and are briefly reported.

Advances in enantiomeric resolution on monolithic chiral stationary phases in liquid chromatography and electrochromatography

During the last decade, chiral monolithic stationary phases have been prepared and used for rapid enantioseparations in CEC and HPLC. Various chiral selectors are used to prepare these CSPs. The preparation, properties, and applications of these CSPs are discussed in this paper. Attempts have been made to describe optimization strategies and the chiral recognition mechanisms. A comparison of chiral separations in CEC and HPLC is described. Efforts have also been made to predict the future perspectives and challenges of chiral monolithic stationary phases. The most effective chiral selectors include polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, and macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics. These chiral phases produced acceptable analytical enantiomeric separation of a variety of racemates. However, the development of these CSPs for preparative‐scale separations is needed.     

Exhaustively substituted bile acids as chiral selectors for enantioselective chromatography. Aim, use and perspectives

The use of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) obtained from cholic and deoxycholic acid derivatives in the HPLC resolution of racemic compounds is presented. The CSPs containing arylcarbamoyl derivatives of bile acids show enantiodiscriminating capabilities depending on the electronic character of the aryl substituents: the CSPs obtained starting from heteroderivatized selectors, i.e. bile acid derivatives containing both pi-acidic and pi-basic arylcarbamoyl moieties, show enantiodiscriminating capabilities strongly dependent on the arrangement of the electronically different arylcarbamates on the cholestanic backbone. The CSPs obtained starting from deoxycholic acid derivatives possessing both arylamido and arycarbamoyl substituents show enantiodiscriminating capabilities restricted to the resolution of benzodiazepine derivatives. Again, the enantioresolution properties depend not only on the electronic nature of the aromatic substituents but also on their arrangement on the cholestanic backbone. The comparison among the different families of bile acid based CSPs allows us to find likeness and differences in the enantiorecognition mechanism exhibited by the different chiral selectors.     

Thin layer chromatographic resolution of some 2-arylpropionic acid enantiomers using L-(-)-serine,L-(-)-threonine and a mixture of L-(-)-serine and L-(-)-threonine-impregnated silica gel as stationary phases

Impregnated silica TLC plates with L-(-)-serine and L-(-)-threonine and a mixture of L-(-)-serine and L-(-)-threonine (1:1) as chiral selectors were prepared to use as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in thin layer chromatography. The resolution of the enantiomers of 2-arylpropionic drugs, including ibuprofen, ibuproxam, ketoprofen, pranoprofen, benoxaprofen, flurbiprofen and tiaprofenic acid was investigated on these CSPs. A mobile phase system of acetonitrile-methanol-water (16:4:0.5, v/v/v) was used. The spots were detected with iodine vapours and the detection limits were found to range between 0.25 and 0.5 micro g/mL for all racemic compounds investigated. The effect of temperature, pH and concentration of the impregnating chiral selectors on resolution has been studied.     

Polysaccharide- and β-Cyclodextrin-Based Chiral Selectors for Enantiomer Resolution: Recent Developments and Applications

Polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, and their derivatives, particularly of amylose, cellulose, chitosan, and β-cyclodextrin, are well-known chiral selectors (CSs) of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in chromatography, because they can separate a wide range of enantiomers. Typically, such CSPs are prepared by physically coating, or chemically immobilizing the polysaccharide and β-cyclodextrin derivatives onto inert silica gel carriers as chromatographic support. Over the past few years, new chiral selectors have been introduced, and progressive methods to prepare CSPs have been exploited. Also, chiral recognition mechanisms, which play a crucial role in the investigation of chiral separations, have been better elucidated. Further insights into the broad functional performance of commercially available chiral column materials and/or the respective newly developed chiral phase materials on enantiomeric separation (ES) have been gained. This review summarizes the recent developments in CSs, CSP preparation, chiral recognition mechanisms, and enantiomeric separation methods, based on polysaccharides and β-cyclodextrins as CSs, with a focus on the years 2019–2020 of this rapidly developing field.     

Extraction of Phenylalanine Enantiomers by Aqueous Two Phase Systems Containing Combinatorial Chiral Selector

In order to obtain a better enantioselectivity of phenylalanine enantiomers and establish the optimal chiral extraction conditions, the distribution behavior was investigated in aqueous two‐phase systems which were composed of polyethylene glycol and ammonium sulfate containing combinatorial chiral selector: β‐cyclodextrin and HP‐β‐cyclodextrin. The influence of the molar concentration ratio of combinatorial chiral selectors, the total molar concentration of combinatorial chiral selectors, pH value, buffer type and its concentration were thoroughly studied, respectively. The results show that the enantioselectivity reaches 1.53 under the optimal chiral extraction conditions. This extraction is a potential economical and effective way for chiral resolution.     

The Evolution of Chiral Stationary Phases for Liquid Chromatography

The development of effective chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and separation strategies for the liquid chromatographic (LC) resolution of enantiomers has been beneficial to many scientific disciplines. Over the last decade the number and type of CSPs has expanded tremendously. Not only have new classes of chiral selectors been introduced, but also many of the first CSPs have been changed and/or improved. The second or third generation of a CSP often can be different from the original. This can be confusing and intimidating to someone just entering the area of LC enantiomeric separations. Fortunately, all CSPs can be categorized in one or another of a few classes. There are generally one or two columns that can accomplish the majority of separations in each class. In this work we look at the different classes of CSPs and how they have expanded and changed over the last decade.
