Green high‐performance liquid chromatography enantioseparation of lansoprazole using a cellulose‐based chiral stationary phase under ethanol/water mode

A simple and environmentally friendly reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography method for the separation of the enantiomers of lansoprazole has been developed. The chromatographic resolution was carried out on the cellulose‐based Chiralpak IC‐3 chiral stationary phase using a green and low‐toxicity ethanol‐aqueous mode. The effects of water content in the mobile phase and column temperature on the retention of the enantiomers of lansoprazole and its chiral and achiral related substances have been carefully investigated. A mixed‐mode hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and reversed‐phase retention mechanism operating on the IC‐3 chiral stationary phase allowed us to achieve simultaneous enantioselective and chemoselective separations in water‐rich conditions. The enantiomers of lansoprazole were baseline resolved with a mobile phase consisting of ethanol/water 50:50 without any interference coming from chiral and achiral impurities within 10 min.     

HPLC enantioseparation of phenylalanine analogs by application of (S)-N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenylalanine methoxyethyl ester as a new chiral derivatizing agent

Summary The indirect stereochemical resolution of the enantiomers of phenylalanine analogs was studied by high-performance liquid chromatographic methods. The resolution was performed by applying pre-column derivatization with (S)-N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenylalanine methoxyethyl ester, (S)-NIFE, as a new chiral derivatizing agent. Its applicability is demonstrated by the derivatization and separation of a series of ring-and α-methyl-substituted phenylalanines and phenylalanine amides, and especially by the derivatization of sterically hindered, less reactive α-methyl-substituted phenylalanine analogs. The diastereomeric, derivatives produced were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid, chromatography. The conditions of both derivatization and separation were optimized. The method described offers good enantioselectivity for various chiral amino compounds derived from chemo-enzymatic processes.     

戊唑醇和三唑酮对映体的手性拆分

以纤维素-三(3,5-二甲基苯基氨基甲酸酯)(CDMPC)高效液相色谱手性固定相(CSP)成功地拆分了戊唑醇和三唑酮对映异构体,通过考察流动相中异丙醇的含量、柱长及温度对手性拆分的影响,优化色谱分离条件。结果显示：该固定相对两种手性农药有较好的拆分效果,使用250mm色谱柱,流动相中含5％异丙醇时戊唑醇得到最佳分离,分离度为1．22;三唑酮在异丙醇含量为2％时有最大分离度1．47。减少异丙醇含量对两种农药均有利于增大分离度,温度升高则降低分离效果。     

HPLC enantioseparation of β2‐homoamino acids using crown ether‐based chiral stationary phase

RP high‐performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the enantioseparation of eleven unusual β²‐homoamino acids. The underivatized analytes were separated on a chiral stationary phase containing (+)‐(18‐crown‐6)‐2,3,11,12‐tetracarboxylic acid as chiral selector. The effects of organic (alcoholic) and acidic modifiers, the mobile phase composition and temperature on the separation were investigated. The structures of the substituents in the α‐position of the analytes substantially influenced the retention and resolution. The elution sequence was determined in some cases: the S enantiomers eluted before the R enantiomers.     

β-环糊精键合手性固定相分离苯并恶嗪类对映体

研究了在反相高效液相色谱模式下,基于点击化学的β-环糊精手性固定相对苯并恶嗪类对映体的手性分离情况。考察了流动相中有机改性剂的类型和比例、缓冲盐的浓度和pH值对分离的影响。考察结果表明: 乙腈作为有机改性剂比甲醇更有利于苯并恶嗪对映体的分离;乙酸三乙胺缓冲盐体积分数从0.1%增大到1.0%时,苯并恶嗪对映体的保留时间和分离度都随之减小,在pH 4.1时苯并恶嗪对映体具有最大分离度。因此确定乙腈和体积分数为0.1%的乙酸三乙胺缓冲盐流动相(pH 4.1)为最佳分离条件。分离机理研究结果表明,固定相和样品之间的包容络合相互作用以及样品和固定相之间的氢键作用,是样品得以分离的基础。本研究为进一步深入研究β-环糊精固定相提供了实验基础,同时也证明了点击化学在手性环糊精固定相制备中具有极大潜力。     

Chiral HPLC and physical characterisation of orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystals

New orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystalline materials were synthesised and characterised in their racemic forms and as (S) enantiomers. The materials possess oligo-methylene spacers of different lengths in semi-fluorinated achiral chains and lateral substitution by fluorine at two different positions of the molecular core. For comparison purposes, analogical materials without fluorine lateral substitutions were also prepared. Polysaccharide chiral stationary phases based on two different chiral selectors were used for the separation of the enantiomers of the individual racemic mixtures by high-performance liquid chromatography. A baseline separation of (S) and (R) enantiomers was obtained for four of the six studied liquid crystalline materials. Two of the materials were partially separated under the optimised separation conditions. The elution order of the individual enantiomers in the racemic mixtures was successfully assigned, as pure (S) enantiomers of all the studied materials were available. Both the position of the fluorine atom within the molecular core and the size of the achiral moiety had significant effects on the separation of the individual enantiomers of the studied compounds. Moreover, it was also found that the structure of the chiral stationary phase selector significantly influenced the enantiomeric resolution.     

Liquid chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of beta-amino acids on a ligand exchange chiral stationary phase

A liquid chromatographic ligand exchange chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (S)-leucinol was applied in the separation of the enantiomers of 12 beta-amino acids. The resolution was quite successful especially for the enantiomers of beta-amino acids containing aromatic functional group in the side chain. The chromatographic resolution behaviors were dependent on the organic modifier and Cu(II) concentration in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature.     

Separation of pyrethroid enantiomers by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography

The separation of enantiomers of pyrethroid insecticides has been systematically studied using a commercially available Pirkle type 1-A chiral-phase high-performance liquid chromatography column. Useful resolution was obtained for compounds with a variety of acid and alcohol moieties, and containing one to four chiral centres. The chromatographic behaviour of the diastereomers of some of these insecticides on a cyano-bonded column was also examined.     

High‐performance liquid chromatographic and subcritical fluid chromatographic separation of α‐arylated ß‐carboline,N‐alkylated tetrahydroisoquinolines and their bioisosteres on polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases

New, pharmacologically interesting chiral amino compounds, namely, stereoisomers of α‐hydroxynaphthyl‐ß‐carboline, benz[d]azepine and benz[c]azepine analogs as well as N‐α‐hydroxynaphthylbenzyl‐substituted isoquinolines were enantioseparated by high‐performance liquid chromatographic and subcritical fluid chromatographic methods on polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases. Separation of the stereoisomers was optimized in both subcritical fluid chromatography and normal phase liquid chromatographic modes by investigating the effects of the composition of the bulk solvent, temperature, and the structures of the analytes and selectors. Both normal phase liquid chromatography and subcritical fluid chromatography exhibited satisfactory performance, albeit with somewhat different effectiveness in the separation of the stereoisomers studied. The optimized methods offer the possibility to apply preparative‐scale separations thereby enabling further pharmacological investigations of the enantiomers.     

A new approach to the chiral separation of novel diazenes

Two new types of potential liquid‐crystalline azo compounds were synthesized in the form of racemic mixtures and as the individual S enantiomers. Both materials consisting of two substituted aromatic rings in the molecular core and one chiral center at the aliphatic moiety showed mesomorphic behavior. The separation of the R and S enantiomers by chiral high‐performance liquid chromatography was unsuccessful when the azo compounds were in their natural E state. However, the irradiation of the compounds in the solution by UV light led to an almost quantitative transition to their Z forms. The chromatographic behavior of the compounds in their Z forms was significantly different, and partial separation of the individual enantiomers on chiral polysaccharide‐based stationary phases was obtained. Thus, the proposed procedure represents a novel approach to the enantioseparation of chiral diazenes.

Recent development trends for chiral stationary phases based on chitosan derivatives,cyclofructan derivatives and chiral porous materials in high performance liquid chromatography

The separation of enantiomers by chromatographic methods, such as gas chromatography, high‐performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrochromatography, has become an increasingly significant challenge over the past few decades due to the demand of pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and food analysis. Among these chromatographic resolution methods, high‐performance liquid chromatography based on chiral stationary phases has become the most popular and effective method used for the analytical and preparative separation of optically active compounds. This review mainly focuses on the recent development trends for novel chiral stationary phases based on chitosan derivatives, cyclofructan derivatives, and chiral porous materials that include metal‐organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks in high‐performance liquid chromatography. The enantioseparation performance and chiral recognition mechanisms of these newly developed chiral selectors toward enantiomers are discussed in detail.     

Gas Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers on Optically Active Metal-Complex-Free Stationary Phases. New Analytical Methods (24)

If a stationary phase A employed in gas chromatography possesses a chemical affinity for substance B, which is to be separated, then the retention behavior is not only determined by the normal physical equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases but also by the chemical equilibrium A + B ? AB. If A and B are chiral and A is present in optically active form while B is a racemic mixture, then it is possible to achieve a gas chromatographic enantiomer resolution without the isolation of diastereomers: the energetically different diastereomeric associates A_R B_R and A_R B_S are formed rapidly and reversibly. This enantiospecific resolution principle was first demonstrated in 1966 by the quantitative resolution of racemic amino acid derivatives on optically active peptide phases in analogy to the well-known stereospecificity of enzymes. The anchoring of the chiral resolving agent to thermally stable polysiloxanes together with the employment of high resolution capillary columns and the use of appropriate derivatization strategies has led to the development of enantiomer resolution into a routine modern method for many classes of substances. The demonstration of enantiospecificity in the gas chromatographic separation process is of fundamental interest, and its systematic study can result in a significant contribution to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of “chiral recognition”. The gas chromatographic separation of enantiomers has also proven to be an accurate and sensitive method for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of natural products and products of enantioselective transformations (asymmetric syntheses, “chiral pool” transformations, kinetic resolutions, biomimetic reactions) and for the quantification of racemization, e.g. in the synthesis and hydrolysis of peptides. In any research program devoted to the phenomenon of chirality, the gas chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of volatile compounds constitutes an indispensable modern instrumental technique.     

Comparison of separation performance of polysaccaride-based chiral stationary phases in enantioseparation of 1-(4-chlorobenzhydryl)piperazine benzamide derivatives by HPLC

Analytical high-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of 1-(4-chlorobenzhydryl) piperazine benzamide derivatives was accomplished on different chiral stationary phases. The enantiomers of the compounds were resolved by normal-phase chromatography on silica-based amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralpak AD-H), cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Chiralcel OD-H) and cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) (Chiralcel OJ) columns with mobile phases consisting of mixtures of n-hexane and ethanol in different proportions (90: 10, 80: 20). The mobile phase and the chiral stationary phase were varied to achieve the best resolution. The effect of the concentration of ethanol in the mobile phase was studied. The resolution obtained on the three columns was significant.

Evaluation of the chiral recognition properties as well as the column performance of four chiral stationary phases based on cellulose (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) by parallel HPLC and SFC

The performance of four commercially available cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) was evaluated with parallel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and super critical fluid chromatography (SFC). Retention, enantioselectivity, resolution and efficiency were compared for a set of neutral, basic and acidic compounds having different physico-chemical properties by using different mobile phase conditions. Although the chiral selector is the same in all the four CSPs, a large difference in the ability to retain and resolve enantiomers was observed under the same chromatographic conditions. We believe that this is mainly due to differences in the silica matrix and immobilization techniques used by the different vendors. An extended study of metoprolol and structure analogues gave a deeper understanding of the accessibility of the chiral discriminating interactions and its impact on the resolution of the racemic compounds on the four CSPs studied. Also, a clear difference in enantioselectivity is observed between SFC and LC mode, hydrogen bonding was found to play an important role in the differential binding of the enantiomers to the CSPs.     

Rapid Chiral Separation by Flow-Through Chromatography with a Biporous Stationary Phase

Enantiomer separation is an area of increasing importance in chemistry and in the pharmaceutical industry. Although liquid chromatography is one of the most practical processes for chiral resolution, the high mass-transfer resistance of most commercially available packings makes chiral resolution time-consuming. In this work, a novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) with wide pores was prepared by coupling bovine serum albumin to a biporous resin with triazine as a linker. The rigid biporous medium was fabricated by radical suspension copolymerization with solid granules and solvents as porogenic agents. Studies by scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry revealed the matrix contained two types of pore—micropores smaller than 180 nm and macropores of 500–7300 nm. Because the macropores provide convective flow channels for the mobile phase, the chromatographic process can be operated at high flow rate with low back-pressure. The biporous CSP was applied to the resolution of d, l-tryptophan (Trp). When the flow velocity was as high as 1800 cm h^–1, d, l-Trp could still be separated. By comparison of the resolution of d, l-Trp on this CSP at high flow velocities with that predicted theoretically for conventional supports we concluded that the increased flow velocity had little effect on the resolution of enantiomers with biporous packings. The results indicate that the protein biporous CSP is promising for high-speed resolution of enantiomers.Revised: 8 October 2004 and 3 January 2005
