Ion-pair chromatographic separation of nomifensine maleate enantiomers.

Chromatographic Separation of Vitamin E Enantiomers.

Vitamin E is recognized as an essential vitamin since its discovery in 1922. Most vegetable oils contain a mixture of tocopherols and tocotrienols in the vitamin E composition. Structurally, tocopherols and tocotrienols share a similar chromanol ring and a side chain at the C-2 position. Owing to the three chiral centers in tocopherols, they can appear as eight different stereoisomers. Plant so...

Ion-exchange chromatographic separation and fluorometric detection of urinary polyamines.

An ion-exchange chromatographic procedure has been developed for the separation and fluorometric detection of the urinary polyamines 1,3-diaminopropane, putrescine, spermidine, cadaverine, and spermine. The polyamines were separated on a 15 x0.45 cm cation-exchange column (70”) employing a combined pH-salt gradient. The separation conditions were designed to enable utilization of the sensitive ...

High-performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of the Enantiomers of Amino Compounds on Chiral Stationary Phases

Separation of the Enantiomers of Ibuprofen by a Gas Chromatographic– Mass Spectrometric Method

Separation of the enantiomers of chiral drugs has become an important issue in analytical clinical chemistry in recent years, because of differences in the biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties of drug enantiomers [1,2]. Many drugs contain chirality centers; their enantiomers may have considerably different potency, type of pharmacological activity, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism...

Are We Approaching a Speed Limit for the Chromatographic Separation of Enantiomers?

As the speed of chromatographic enantioseparations advances to the point where the enantiomers of most chiral compounds can be resolved in less than a minute, some in less than a second, we pose the question of how this field is likely to develop over the next few years. Are we approaching a fundamental speed limit, or will further technological advances continue to deliver faster and faster se...
