Quantitative 1H NMR method for the routine spectroscopic determination of enantiomeric purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients fenfluramine, sertraline, and paroxetine

Determining the enantiomeric purity of chiral therapeutic agents is important in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). A strategy for determining the enantiomeric purity of three APIs was developed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the chiral solvating agent (CSA) 1,1-bi-2-naphthyl (1). While chiral chromatography is widely used to evaluate enantiomeric purity, it can sometimes suffer from tedious sample preparation obviating rapid measurements that are sometimes needed during the manufacture of such agents. The techniques described herein provide comparable enantiomeric purity results with those obtained with traditional chiral HPLC and other published methods for these compounds. Chiral analysis of standard samples of methylbenzylamine enantiomeric mixtures using 1 were found to be quantitative to approximately 1% minor enantiomer. Enantiomeric purity determination by NMR utilizing chiral solvating agents do not require special instrumental techniques, chemical derivatization or standards and is therefore ideally suited for rapid routine analysis. As a result, the technique demonstrated is commonly used in our laboratory as a complementary or alternative method to chiral HPLC or optical rotation measurements for routine determination of enantiomeric purity.     

Determination of the enantiomeric purity of epinephrine by HPLC with circular dichroism detection

Several hundred drug substances approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are chiral molecules. For the enantiomeric purity assessment, current practice is to develop separation techniques using chiral columns or mobile phase modifiers to separate enantiomers before detection. An alternative approach is to use currently accepted HPLC assay methods and use chiral-specific detectors to confirm whether the correct enantiomer is present. In this paper, adding a circular dichroism (CD) detector to an achiral HPLC method from the US Pharmacopeia (USP) is shown to be amenable for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of epinephrine, a substance used to treat anaphylaxis. This HPLC-UV-CD approach was able to detect the inactive D-(+) enantiomer at 1% of the total epinephrine composition. The linearity, accuracy, and precision of HPLC-UV-CD were evaluated and compared to analyses using a chiral HPLC method. Additionally, an epinephrine drug product was analyzed for assay (concentration) and enantiomeric purity. The results from achiral and chiral methods were identical within the experimental error. Overall, achiral chromatography performed using a USP method with CD detection may serve as a general means of determining chiral drug enantiomer purity and avoids the need for the development of additional chiral-specific methods for each individual drug.     

Determination of enantiomeric compositions of DOPA by tandem mass spectrometry using the kinetic method with fixed ligands

A fixed ligand (FL) version of the kinetic method was applied to rapid, simple, and accurate chiral analysis of DOPA, which is an important drug used for treatment of Parkinson's disease. Singly charged clusters containing the transition metal ion Cu(II), pyridyl ligands which serve as a fixed ligand, some amino acid as a reference, and the analyte DOPA were generated by electrospray ionization. The cluster ion of interest was mass-selected, and the kinetics of its competitive unimolecular dissociations was investigated in an ion trap mass spectrometer. The chiral selectivity (R(chiral)), the ratio of the two fragment ion abundances when the cluster contains one pure enantiomer of the analyte expressed relative to that for the other enantiomer, varies with fixed ligands, references, and transition metals. Chiral discrimination was optimized in 1,10-phenanthroline as a FL, L-Phe and L-Pro as a reference, and Cu(II) as a central metal ion. Quantitative determinations of the enantiomeric composition of DOPA were achieved using two-point calibration curves. The linear relationship between the logarithm of the fragment ion abundance ratio (ln R) and enantiomeric compositions (ee%) of the DOPA allows the determination of the chiral purity of enantiomeric mixtures.     

Chiral capillary electrophoretic determination of the enantiomeric purity of tetrahydronaphthalenic derivatives, melatoninergic ligands, using highly sulfated beta-cyclodextrins

Using cyclodextrin capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE), baseline separation of synthetic tetrahydronaphthalenic derivatives, potential melatoninergic compounds, was achieved. A method for the enantioresolution of these tetralins and determination of their enantiomeric purity was developed using anionic CDs (highly sulfated-CD or highly S-CD) as chiral selectors and capillaries dynamically coated with polyethylene oxide (PEO). Operational parameters such as the nature and concentration of the chiral selectors, buffer pH, organic modifiers, temperature and applied voltage were investigated. The use of charged CDs provides a driving force for our neutral compounds in the running buffer and enantiomeric resolution by inclusion of compounds in the CD cavity. The highly S-beta-CD was found to be the most effective complexing agent, allowing good enantiomeric resolution. The complete resolution of three tetralin compounds was obtained using 25 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 containing 2.5% w/v of highly S-beta-CD at 25 degrees C with an applied field of 0.25 kV/cm. The apparent association constants of the inclusion complexes were calculated. This optimized method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, accuracy and recovery. The enantiomeric purity for the three molecules was determined and the detection limit of enantiomer impurities is about 0.3-0.6%.     

2D Ising Model for Adsorption-induced Enantiopurification of Racemates

Mechanisms for the spontaneous transformation of achiral chemical systems into states of enantiomeric purity have important ramifications in modern pharmacology and potential relevance to the origins of homochirality in life on Earth. Such mechanisms for enantiopurification are needed for production of chiral pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. Previously proposed chemical mechanisms leading from achiral systems to near homochirality are initiated by a symmetry-breaking step resulting in a minor excess of one enantiomer via statistical fluctuations in enantiomer concentrations. Subsequent irreversible processes then amplify the majority enantiomer concentration while simultaneously suppressing minority enantiomer production. Herein, equilibrium adsorption of amino acid enantiomer mixtures onto chiral and achiral surfaces reveals amplification of surface enantiomeric excess relative to the gas phase; i. e. enantiopurification of chiral adsorbates by adsorption. This adsorption-induced amplification of enantiomeric excess is shown to be well-describe by the 2D Ising model. More importantly, the 2D-Ising model predicts formation of homochiral monolayers from adsorption of racemic mixtures or prochiral molecules on achiral surfaces; i. e. enantiopurification with no apparent chiral driving force.     

Semipreparative chiral supercritical fluid chromatography in the fractionation of lansoprazole and two related antiulcer drugs enantiomers

The semipreparative chiral separation of lansoprazole and two related compounds (pantoprazole and rabeprazole) using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is presented in this work. Different loads were evaluated in order to obtain high enantiomeric purities and production rates. The volumes injected were 1, 2 and 4 mL. The concentrations of the racemic mixtures were 3 and 6 g/L for lansoprazole and 1.5 g/L for pantoprazole and rabeprazole. In all the cases, the recoveries, for a purity higher than 99.9%, were better for the second eluted enantiomer than for the first one. This fact conditioned the production rate of the first eluted enantiomer that, considering a fixed purity, was always lower than that obtained for the other one. In the case of lansoprazole it was possible to obtain 0.025 and 0.090 mg/min of the first and second eluted enantiomer, respectively, with an enantiomeric purity of 99.9%. For rabeprazole enantiomers 0.037 and 0.062 mg/min, and in the case of pantoprazole the results were better (0.062 and 0.122 mg/min) due to the higher resolution.     

Enantioseparation of new nucleoside analogs, related to d4T and acyclovir, by chiral capillary electrophoresis using highly sulfated beta-cyclodextrins

Baseline separation of some new acyclic nucleosides which are potential antiviral agents was achieved using cyclodextrin capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE). A method for the enantiomeric resolution of these compounds and determination of their enantiomeric purity was developed using anionic CDs (highly sulfated-CD or highly S-CD) as chiral selectors and capillaries, which were dynamically coated with polyethylene oxide (PEO). Operational parameters including (i) the nature and concentration of the chiral selectors, (ii) organic modifiers, (iii) temperature, and (iv) applied voltage were investigated. The use of charged CDs provides (i) a supplementary driving force for the compounds in a running buffer and (ii) enantiomeric resolution by inclusion of compounds in the CD cavity. The highly S-CD was found to be the most effective complexing agent and allowed good enantiomeric resolution. The complete resolution of five nucleoside analogs was obtained using 25 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, containing either highly S-alpha-CD, S-beta-CD or S-gamma-CD at 30 degrees C with an applied field of 0.30 kV/cm. The apparent association constants of the inclusion complexes were calculated. The enantiomer migration order for the molecules investigated was determined and the detection limit of enantiomeric impurities was found to vary between 0.34 to 3.56 ng.mL(-1) for the first enantiomer.     

Determination of the enantiomeric purity of 2-(2′-carboxy-3′-phenylcyclopropyl)glycines by chiral capillary electrophoresis

Summary A fast and practical chiral capillary electrophoretic method has been developed for determination of the enantiomeric purity of 2-(2′-carboxy-3′-phenylcyclopropyl)glycine (PCCG) compounds. In particular, the isomer PCCG-13, a potent selective and competitive antagonist at phospholipaseD-coupled metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), was completely resolved from its enantiomer PCCG-15 by use of dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (DMCD) as chiral selector. pH 9.0 running buffer containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD; 100mM) was a suitable medium enabling resolution of the enantiomers in a short (32.5 cm total length) poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-coated capillary. Because of the suppression of the electroosmotic flow and the good peak shape, baseline resolution of the enantiomers was obtained by use of the optimum concentration of chiral selector. For quantitative purposes at impurity levels, high sample loading was required and adequate separation was obtained in the presence of 80 mM DMCD. This CE method enabled quantification of 0.3% m/m of undesired enantiomer in PCCG-13; the samples analyzed, obtained from enantioselective synthesis, proved to be of high enantiomeric purity.     

Simultaneous, sequential quantitative achiral-chiral analysis by two-dimensional liquid chromatography

In general, chromatographic analysis of chiral compounds involves a minimum of two methods; a primary achiral method for assay and impurity analysis and a secondary chiral method for assessing chiral purity. Achiral method resolves main enantiomeric pairs of component from potential impurities and degradation products and chiral method resolves enantiomeric pairs of the main component and diastereomer pairs. Reversed-phase chromatographic methods are preferred for assay and impurity analysis (high efficiency and selectivity) whereas chiral separation is performed by reverse phase, normal phase, or polar organic mode. In this work, we have demonstrated the use of heart-cutting (LC-LC) and comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC) in simultaneous, sequential achiral and chiral analysis and quantitation of minor, undesired enantiomer in the presence of major, desired enantiomer using phenylalanine as an example. The results were comparable between LC-LC and LC × LC with former offering better sensitivity and accuracy. The quantitation range was over three orders of magnitude with undesired D-phenylalanine detected at approximately 0.3% in the presence of predominant, desired L-phenylalanine (99.7%). The limit of quantitation was comparable to conventional high-performance liquid chromatography. A reversed-phase C18 achiral column in the primary and reversed-phase Chirobiotic Tag chiral column in the secondary dimension were used with a compatible mobile phase.     

Infinite enantiomeric resolution of basic compounds using highly sulfated cyclodextrin as chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis

Four chiral basic analytes, namely methadone, fluoxetine, venlafaxine, and tramadol, were selected as model compounds for investigating their stereoselective separation with highly sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin (HS gamma-CD) by capillary electrophoresis (CE)-UV and CE-mass spectrometry (MS). At high concentration of chiral selector, the preferentially bonded enantiomer migrated faster in the anodic mode to the detector and high resolutions were obtained for all analytes. In the cathodic mode, at lower highly sulphated cyclodextrin (HS-CD) concentration, basic compounds could be detected, with the weakly bonded enantiomer migrating first (enantiomeric migration order inversion). It was also then possible, at intermediate HS-CD concentration, that only one enantiomer migrated to the detector as cation while the other enantiomer complexed with the CD was negatively charged and presented an opposite mobility. The latter never reached the detector achieving a perfect enantiomeric selectivity. Infinite chiral resolutions were thus achieved by CE-UV as well as by CE-electrospray ionisation (ESI)-MS where concentrations of HS-CD were adapted according to the negative contribution of the nebulization gas pressure of the interface.
