Use of Native and Derivatized Cyclodextrin Based and Macrocyclic Glycopeptide Based Chiral Stationary Phases for the Enantioseparation of Pterocarpans by HPLC

Abstract

The enantioselectivity of native and derivatized cyclodextrin stationary phases and macrocyclic glycopeptides for chiral pterocarpans was evaluated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). All enantiomers could be baseline resolved in the reverse phase mode on cyclodextrin‐based Cyclobond chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, acetyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, and gamma‐cyclodextrin CSPs show the broadest enantioselectivity in the reverse phase mode. Some compounds were baseline separated on the ristocetin A and vancomycin macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases in the reverse phase mode. Separations on the ristocetin A columns produced the highest resolutions (up to ∼7.1) in this study. The 3,5‐dimethylphenyl carbamate derivatized cyclodextrin column showed the broadest enantioselectivity in normal phase LC. Of the macrocyclic glycopeptide CSPs, ristocetin A and teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic R and TAG, respectively) showed enantioselectivity for the most compounds in the normal phase mode. However, baseline separations were only achieved with the teicoplanin and teicoplanin aglycone.
