Abstract

Several chiral stationary phases based on polysaccharide derivatives and proteins were evaluated for the resolution of some chiral drugs and their metabolites. The polysaccharide-based stationary phases CHIRALCEL OD-H, CHIRALCEL OB-H, CHIRALCEL OJ, CHIRALPAK AD and CHIRALPAK AS were evaluated under normal phase conditions, using hexane:2-propanol or hexane:ethanol as mobile phase. Diethylamine and trifluoracetic acid were also added to improve peak shape. The CHIRALCEL OJ-R, CHIRALCEL OD-R and CHIRALCEL OD-H columns were evaluated under reversed-phase conditions, using acetonitrile:H2O or acetonitrile:NaClO4 solution. The protein- based stationary phases, CHIRAL AGP and ULTRON ES-OVM columns were used with mobile phases consisting of a buffer solution supplemented with an organic modifier. Among the polysaccharide-based stationary phases, CHIRALPAK AD provided better resolution for almost all drugs and metabolites studied. The ULTRON ES-OVM column was particularly suitable for the resolution of the four enantiomers of thioridazine-2-sulfoxide.

Summary

Introduction

Over the last two decades a large number of chiral stationary phases have been described in the literature and some of them are commercially available. Among them, those based on polysaccharides[4,5] and proteins[6] have broad application due to their stability, efficiency and high resolving ability. Polysaccharide phases are well suited for preparative scale enantiomeric separations.[7] Polysaccharide phases are prepared by coating cellulose or amylose derivatives (acetates, benzoates or carbamates) on a pretreated silica gel matrix and could be used under normal or reversed phase conditions. Differences in the higher-order structures among cellulose and amylose are responsible for differences in chiral discrimination.[8,9,10]
