The protein binding of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs flurbiprofen, ketoprofen and etodolac with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using indirect chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultrafiltration techniques. S-(-)-1-(1-naphthyl)-ethylamine (S-NEA) was utilized as chiral derivatization reagent and pre-column derivatization RP-HPLC method was established for...

An achiral monomeric surfactant (sodium 10-undecenyl sulfate, SUS) and a chiral surfactant (sodium 10-undecenoyl L-leucinate, SUL) were synthesized and polymerized individually to form poly-SUS and poly-SUL. These surfactants were then copolymerized at various molar ratios to produce a variety of copolymerized surfactants (CoPSs), possessing both achiral (sulfate) and chiral (leucinate) head gr...

Chiral separations of 1-aminoindan (AI) by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography (CDEKC) were investigated on microfluidic quartz chips. By using a microchip electrophoresis (MCE) instrument equipped with a linear-imaging UV detector, the separation process of the enantiomeric compounds was observed. When sulfated beta-cyclodextrin was employed as a chiral selector, the baseline separation...

In earlier studies, we showed that certain low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids (profens, amino acids, hydroxy acids) can undergo spontaneous in vitro chiral conversion accompanied by condensation to from oligomers, and we proposed two simple models to describe these processes. Here, we present the results of investigations using non-chiral high-performance liquid chromatography with diode arr...

A simple analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was applied for the enantiomeric excess determination of esomeprazole ((S)-OME), the enantiopure active ingredient contained in drug products, in the presence of its potential organic impurities A-E. The enantioselective separation was accomplished on the immobilized-type Chiralpak ID-3 chiral stationary phase (CSP) under ...

The enantiomers of the related substances methamphetamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and methcathinone were determined by both gas chromatography after derivatization and by nuclear magnetic resonance using a chiral solvating agent. For GC the substances were derivatized with (R)-(+)-alpha-methoxy-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (MTPA) to give diasteromeric derivatives. Resolution (ba...

A positively charged chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared by chemically immobilizing cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate onto methacryloyldiethylenetriaminopropylated silica (MCDEAPS) via a radical copolymerization reaction. The prepared CSP was evaluated for enantiomer separation in nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Electroosmotic flow (EOF) generated on the prepared CS...

Homochiral metal-organic frameworks with fine-tuned pore sizes/walls and large surface areas are promising porous materials for enantioseparation considering the traditional zeolite molecular sieves have no chirality. Using enantiopure pyridyl-functionalized salen [(N-(4-Pyridylmethyl)-L-leucine·HBr)] as a starting material, we have prepared a noninterpenetrated three-dimensional homochiral met...

Due to different physiological activities, the chromatographic separation of enantiomers is an important task in drug discovery and development. The determination of the enantiomeric excess (ee) is often done with supercritical fl uid chromatography (SFC) in combination with chiral stationary phases. Since fi nding the right stationary phase that provides separation of the enantiomers is diffi ...
