Abstract
The separation of thalidomide (TD) and its hydroxylated metabolites including their simultaneous enantioseparation was studied using three different polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in combination with polar organic mobile phases. Three different techniques, high-performance liquid chromatography in common-size columns, capillary LC and nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography were compared in terms of separation. As this study illustrates, polar organic mobile phases represent a valuable extension for less polar and polar aqueous–organic mobile phases in combination with polysaccharide CSPs. Chiralpak AD consisting of 25% of amylose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) coated on wide-pore aminopropylsilanized silica gel exhibited higher resolving ability compared to the similar cellulose derivative (Chiralcel OD) as well as to cellulose-tris(4-methylbenzoate) (Chiralcel OJ) CSPs for this particular set of chiral analytes. Baseline separation and simultaneous enantioseparation of all three compounds could be achieved under optimized separation conditions.
