Enantioseparation of Chiral Antimycotic Drugs by HPLC with Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Columns and Polar Organic Mobile Phases with Emphasis on Enantiomer Elution Order

The separation of enantiomers of 10 chiral antimycotic drugs was studied on polysaccharide-based chiral columns with polar organic mobile phases. The emphasis was placed on some interesting examples of enantiomer elution order reversal observed depending on the chemistry of the chiral selector, separation temperature, major component, as well as the minor additive in the mobile phase. In particular, it was found that the elution order of enantiomers of chiral drug terconazole was opposite on cellulose- and amylose-based columns with the same pendant group. The affinity pattern of enantiomers of another chiral drug bifonazole was opposite towards to two amylose-based chiral selectors with different pendant groups. The affinity pattern of terconazole enantiomers also changed on some columns when the alcohol-based mobile phase was replaced with acetonitrile. An interesting effect of the minor acidic (formic acid) additives to the mobile phase on the affinity pattern of terconazole enantiomers was observed on Cellulose-2 and Cellulose-4 columns. In addition, a reversal of elution order of bifonazole enantiomers was observed on Amylose-2 column by variation of a separation temperature.     

Comparative Chiral Separation of Thalidomide Class of Drugs Using Polysaccharide-Type Stationary Phases with Emphasis on Elution Order and Hysteresis in Polar Organic Mode

The enantioseparation of four phthalimide derivatives (thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide and apremilast) was investigated on five different polysaccharide-type stationary phases (Chiralpak AD, Chiralpak AS, Lux Amylose-2, Chiralcel OD and Chiralcel OJ-H) using neat methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), 1-propanol (PROP), 2-propanol (IPA) and acetonitrile (ACN) as polar organic mobile phases and also in combination. Along with the separation capacity of the applied systems, our study also focuses on the elution sequences, the effect of mobile phase mixtures and the hysteresis of retention and selectivity. Although on several cases extremely high resolutions (R_s > 10) were observed for certain compounds, among the tested conditions only Chiralcel OJ-H column with MeOH was successful for baseline-separation of all investigated drugs. Chiral selector- and mobile-phase-dependent reversals of elution order were observed. Reversal of elution order and hysteresis of retention and enantioselectivity were further investigated using different eluent mixtures on Chiralpak AD, Chiralcel OD and Lux Amylose-2 column. In an IPA/MeOH mixture, enantiomer elution-order reversal was observed depending on the eluent composition. Furthermore, in eluent mixtures, enantioselectivity depends on the direction from which the composition of the eluent is approached, regardless of the eluent pair used on amylose-based columns. Using a mixture of polar alcohols not only the selectivities but the enantiomer elution order can also be fine-tuned on Chiralpak AD column, which opens up the possibility of a new type of chiral screening strategy.     

Enantioseparation of 1-Phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline on Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases

The enantiomers of 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline have been directly separated on polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The normal phase separation of (S)- and (R)-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline was accomplished by screening of the immobilized Chiralpak IC column with different eluents. The effect of mobile phase type on retention, selectivity and resolution was studied. 2-Propanol or ethanol/n-hexane/ethanolamine mixtures were applied as mobile phases by screening of following polysaccharide-based immobilized (Chiralpak IA, Chiralpak IC) and coated (Lux Cellulose-1, Lux Cellulose-2, Lux Amylose-2) CSPs. Polar organic and reversed-phase conditions were also tested for direct enantioseparation of 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline.     

Chiral Separation of Organic Phosphonate Compounds on Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Four polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases have been used to separate the enantiomers of fourteen O,O-dialkyl-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-aminoarylmethyl phosphonates. These polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases are Chiralpak AD, Chiralpak AS, Chiralcel OG and Chiralcel OJ. The data obtained indicate that the chiral separation ability for these organophosphonate compounds are in the order Chiralpak AD > Chiralcel OG > Chiralcel OJ > Chiralpak AS. With Chiralpak AD, all of the studied compounds could be easily baseline separated. Those two polysaccharides possess different chiral discrimination mechanism due to of the difference of the conformational structures of amylose and cellulose. The chiral discrimination of derivatized amylose chiral stationary phases were based on the stereogenic fit of the analytes in the helical structures of amylose and the transient diastereomeric complex formation between the analyte and the amylose CSP through π–π interaction H-bond interactions and induced dipole interactions exerted by the substituents on the analyte molecules. The chiral discrimination, in case of derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phase is based on the stereogenic fit of the analytes in the grooves of cellulose followed by interactions mentioned above between the analytes and the cellulose CSP.     

Chiral Separation of 4-Iminoflavan Derivatives on Several Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases by HPLC

The HPLC enantiomeric separation of seven 4-iminoflavans was successfully accomplished in the normal phase mode using six polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases namely, Chiralcel^®OD-H, Chiralcel^®OD, Chiralcel^®OJ, Chiralpak^®AD, Chiralpak^®IA and Chiralpak^®IB under normal and polar organic phase modes. The resolution depended on nature and concentration of alcoholic modifier.

Chromatographic Enantioseparation of Ten Amino Acid Amide Derivatives on Three Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Enantioseparation of ten kinds of amino acid amide derivatives bearing aniline moieties on three polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) was first systematically investigated. The chromatographic experiments were performed in the normal phase mode, namely, with n-hexane and 2-propanol as mobile phase. The effects of chiral columns, concentration of 2-propanol and column temperature on the enantioseparation were studied in detail. These compounds can be well resolved on Chiralcel OD-H column with the resolution above 1.5. Enantioseparation mechanism of chiral analytes and the CSPs are proposed based on the thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data. Our study establishes a simple, fast and efficient analytical method for amino acid amide derivatives by chiral HPLC, and provides a reference for enantioseparation of chiral amino acid amide derivatives and similar chiral compounds.

Reversal of Elution Order between Enantiomers of Binaphthol on an Immobilized Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Enantioseparation of 1,1??-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) was performed on an immobilized polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), Chiralpak IA, in the normal-phase mode. The effects of polar modifier in the mobile phase and column temperature on retention, enantioseparation, and elution order were investigated. An interesting reversal of elution order for BINOL was observed. When ethanol was used as a polar modifier, R-BINOL was eluted first with marginal enantioseparation. Excellent enantioseparation was obtained when ethanol was replaced by 1-propanol, and S-BINOL was eluted first, this effect being retained with 2-butanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol or 1-hexanol as the modifier. When isoamyl alcohol was used, reversal of elution order was again observed, i.e., R-BINOL eluted first with marginal enantioseparation, similar to the case of ethanol. When cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol were used, R-BINOL was still eluted first, but enantioseparation was as good as with 1-propanol as the modifier. This is the first report of large enantioseparation obtained in both elution orders for a given selector/selectant system. A retention model based on stoichiometric displacement theory for retention (SDT-R) was investigated to fit the chromatographic data. The reason for solvent-induced reversal of elution order was elucidated based on a derivation of the retention model. Reversal of elution order for BINOL induced by the content of isoamyl alcohol was also predicted based on the model and confirmed by experiment.     

HPLC Enantioseparation of Novel Spirobrassinin Analogs on the Cyclofructan Chiral Stationary Phases

A novel series of nine chiral analogs of spirobrassinin, which have potential biological activity, was separated for the first time on three different derivatized cyclofructan chiral stationary phases in the normal phase mode. The effects of mobile phase composition, the type and concentration of polar modifier, additives, and the analyte structure on the retention and enantioseparation were studied. The results proved that for cyclofructan-based chiral stationary phases, the R-naphthylethyl carbamate cyclofructan 6 provides the best separation efficiency for the analyzed compounds. The effect of temperature on the separation was also investigated and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters were evaluated from linear Van’t Hoff plots (lnk or lnα versus 1/T). It was found that the enantioseparation was enthalpy controlled. In addition, the elution order of the enantiomers was determined in all the cases.     

Separation of the Enantiomers of Thyroxine by HPLC with Chiral Mobile Phases

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for separation of the enantiomers of thyroxine (T4). A silica gel column was used in conjunction with a chiral mobile phase (CMP) comprising 35:65 (v/v) acetonitrile–water containing 0.1 mM copper(II) acetate, 0.2 mM L-proline, and 0.5 mM triethylamine (TEA), pH 5.42. The flow rate was 1.0 mL min^?1 and the analysis temperature 40 °C. L-T4 was eluted before D-T4 by mobile phase containing L-proline copper complex. Inversion of the chirality of the mobile phase resulted in reversal of this order of elution. A racemic mobile phase containing DL-proline copper complex resulted in no separation. The enantioseparation phenomenon is discussed. When the method was used to determine the concentration of T4 enantiomers in the serum of a patients with thyroid disease, different concentrations of T4 enantiomers were found in different patents.     

Comparative Study of the Enantioseparation of Uniconazole and Imazalil by HPLC on Various Cellulose Chiral Columns

Abstract

This paper reported the enantioseparation of uniconazole and imazalil using four different self‐prepared cellulose derivative columns, namely, CTB, CTMB, CTPC, and CDMPC. The mobile phase composition including the type of the alcohol modifier and the ethanol concentration in hexane changed, and the influence on the retention factor (k′); for each enantiomer, the separation factor (α) and the resolution (R_S) was studied. The influence of the structures of the analytes on the chiral separation was investigated. The results showed that uniconazole obtained the best resolution of 2.16 on CTPC, while imazalil obtained the best separation on CTMB, with the maximal resolution of 4.83. It was concluded that the structure of solutes and CSP play a key role in the chiral recognition. And the chiral attraction between them is the predominant factor.

Effect of Chiral Additives in the Preparation of Cellulose-Based Chiral Stationary Phases in HPLC, and Effect on Enantiomer Resolution

Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) have been prepared by coating silica gel with cellulose tribenzoate or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The effect of chiral additives on preparation of the CSPs was studied with (+)-l-mandelic acid, (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol, (+)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol and (−)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol as chiral additives for cellulose tribenzoate and (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol and (+)-phenylsuccinic acid as chiral additives for cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The results showed that chiral recognition by these stationary phases was increased in comparison with the original CSPs, especially the resolution (R _S) obtained. The method can be used to improve the efficiency of enantiomer separation by silica gel stationary phases coated with polymers.     

Separation of Enantiomers and Control of Elution Order of β-Lactams by GC Using Cyclodextrin-Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Enantiomers of 19 racemic β-lactams, with 3 and 4-position substitutions, were separated using gas chromatography. Excellent results were achieved on derivatized cyclodextrin-based GC chiral stationary phases (CSPs). All 19 compounds were baseline separated, most with high resolution factors. The Chiraldex G-TA was found to be the most powerful CSP with the broadest enantioselectivity, while Chiraldex B-DM produced the fastest separations for most of the compounds assayed. Results obtained in this work suggest that GC can serve as a potential method for the enantiomeric separation of sufficiently volatile solid β-lactams.
