The chiral resolution using cyclodextrins as mobile phase additives is also controlled by a number of chromatographic parameters as in case of CSPs. The chiral resolution occurred by the formation of diastereoisomeric inclusion complex formation and, hence, the composition of the mobile phase, pH, concentration of cyclodextrins, and temperature are the most important controlling parameters.

Numerous chromatographic studies have also been carried out to investigate possible applications of CyDs as multifunctional drug carriers, discussed in more detail in Chapters 14 and 15. For example the retention of psoralen derivatives was investigated on a C-18 column with HP-) -cyclodextrin as mobile phase additive [62]. Assuming 1 1 stoichiometry, in a 52 48 (v/v) methanol water mixture and temperature —5 °C, the corresponding stability constants were 30, 75, and 40 for the complexes of 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen and trimethylpsoralen with HP-yS-CyD, respectively.

The overwhelming majority of chiral separations up to now have been carried out by adding various chiral selectors to the mobile phase rather than by using a chiral plate. For example, enantiomers of amino acids were separated by using alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins as mobile phase additives with bonded Cig and cellulose layers (Cserhati and Forgacs, 1996).

Because the steric effect contributes to the complex formation between guest and host, the chiral resolution on these CSPs is affected by the structures of the analytes. Amino acids, amino alcohols, and derivatives of amines are the best classes for studying the effect of analyte structures on the chiral resolution. The effect of analyte structures on the chiral resolution may be obtained from the work of Hyun et al. [47,48]. The authors studied the chiral resolution of amino alcohols, amides, amino esters, and amino carbonyls. The effects of the substituents on the chiral resolution of some racemic compounds are shown in Table 6. A perusal of this table indicates the dominant effect of steric interactions on chiral resolution. Furthermore, an improved resolution of the racemic compounds, having phenyl moieties as the substituents, may be observed from this Table 6. ft may be the result of the presence of n—n interactions between the CCE and racemates. Generally, the resolution decreases with the addition of bulky groups, which may be caused by the steric effects. In addition, some anions have been used as the mobile phase additives for the improvement of the chiral resolution of amino acids [76]. Recently, Machida et al. [69] reported the use of some mobile phase additives for the improvement of chiral resolution. They observed an improvement in the chiral resolution of some hydrophobic amino compound using cyclodextrins and cations as mobile phase additives. 

Another approach is electrochromatography with capillary columns packed with an achiral stationary phase, preferentially a reversed-phase type material. The chiral SO is added to the background electrolyte, and may be adsorbed onto the stationary phase by a secondary equilibration process. Enantioseparations in this additive mode have been reported with cyclodextrin type SOs )504-507) and with a chiral ion-pair agent derived from quinine 1508) as mobile phase additives. 

Many ionic poly(saccharides), such as heparin, chondroitin sulfates, dextran sulfate, and natural poly(saccharides), such as dextran, dextrin, pullulan, and their charged derivatives have been used as mobile phase additives for the separation of different enantiomers. Figure 10.10 [191,192,205,206]. Dextrins were found to have a wide application range, thought to be due in part to their helical structures. Enantiomer-chiral selector complexes seem to be weaker than for cyclodextrins, and it has not been demonstrated that enantiomer separations obtained by the poly(saccharide) chiral selectors cannot be obtained using cyclodextrins. Natural poly(saccharides) are typically complex mixtures of homologues and isomers, with a composition that can vary for different sources, resulting in differences in enantioselectivity.

ABSTRACT. The copper(n) complexes of p-cyclodextrins functionalized with aliphatic or pseudoaromatic amines were used for the chiral recognition of unmodified amino acids. Molecular recognition, assisted by non-covalent interactions, was proved by means of thermodynamic and spectroscopic (c.d., e.p.r. and fluorescence) measurements. A cis-disposition of amino groups seems to assist enantiomeric selectivity. The copper(II)-p-cyclodextrin complexes can be used as mobile phase additives in HPLC to separate enantiomeric mixtures of unmodified aromatic amino acids. 

The application of cyclodextrins (CDs) in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as mobile-phase additives and components of stationary phases is briefly discussed. The advantageous separation characteristics of CDs in various HPLC technologies ate demonstrated using pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants as analytes.

Cyclodextrins were first used as mobile-phase additives in TLC to separate isomeric compounds. Later, they were immobilized or bonded onto chromatographic supports to form a highly effective CSP. CDs are well suited to chromatography since... 

Cyclodextrins have been used mainly as mobile phase additives for chiral resolutions of a number of racemates, including amino acids and their derivatives, but Alak and Armstrong [25] used fi-CD bounded to silica gel for resolution of dansyl derivatives of DL-amino acid enantiomers, by forming areversible inclusion complex of different stability. Dansyl DL-amino acids were better separated on fi-CDs layers than nonderivatized amino acids, because they have additionally two or more carbohydrogen rings. 

Immobilization. The abiUty of cyclodextrins to form inclusion complexes selectively with a wide variety of guest molecules or ions is well known (1,2) (see INCLUSION COMPOUNDS). Cyclodextrins immobilized on appropriate supports are used in high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc) to separate optical isomers. Immobilization of cyclodextrin on a soHd support offers several advantages over use as a mobile-phase modifier. For example, as a mobile-phase additive, P-cyclodextrin has a relatively low solubiUty. The cost of y- or a-cyclodextrin is high. Furthermore, when employed in thin-layer chromatography (tic) and hplc, cyclodextrin mobile phases usually produce relatively poor efficiencies. 

Cyclodextrins as chemically banded layers [102] or mobile phase additives [103-105] have been used successfully to resolve a wide variety of alkaloids, steroids and dansyl- and naphthylamide-amino acid derivatives. The low solubility in aqueous solution and f high cost of cyclodextrins restricted the use of these additives > initially. These limitations were overcome by the availability of ... 

There is a wide variety of commercially available chiral stationary phases and mobile phase additives.32 34 Preparative scale separations have been performed on the gram scale.32 Many stationary phases are based on chiral polymers such as cellulose or methacrylate, proteins such as human serum albumin or acid glycoprotein, Pirkle-type phases (often based on amino acids), or cyclodextrins. A typical application of a Pirkle phase column was the use of a N-(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)-a-amino phosphonate to synthesize several functionalized chiral stationary phases to separate enantiomers of...

In addition to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the chiral resolution using CMPAs was also carried out by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) [91] and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) [92-98]. Salvador et al. [91] used dimethylated /1-cyclodextrin as the mobile phase additive on porous graphite carbon as the solid phase for the chiral resolution of tofizopam, warfarin, a benzoxazine derivative, lorazepam, flurbiprofen, temazepam, chlorthalidone, and methyl phehydantoin by SFC. The authors also studied the effect of the concentration of dimethylated /1-cyclodextrin, the concentration of the mobile phase, the nature of polar modifiers, outlet pressure, and the column temperature on the chiral resolution. 

The approach of CMPAs has also been used in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) for the chiral resolution of a variety of racemic compounds [100-110]. Lepri et al. [104,105] used BSA as a mobile phase additive for the chiral resolution of dansyl amino acids and other drugs by TLC. Armstrong et al. [101,102] used unde-rivatized and hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl /I-cyclodextrins for the chiral resolution of dansyl amino acids, alkaloids, and other compounds. Aboul-Enein... 

Contrary to conventional HPLC, almost 98% of chiral resolution in CE is carried out using the chiral selector as a mobile phase additive. Again all the common chiral selectors used in NLC can also be used in NCE. But, unfortunately, few chiral molecules have been tested in NCE for enantiomeric resolution of some racemates. To the best of our knowledge only cyclodextrins and protein-based chiral mobile phase additives have been used for this purpose. Manz and coworkers discussed chiral separations by NCE in their reviews in 2004 [21] and 2006 [22], Later on, Pumera [16] reviewed the use of microfluidic devices for enantiomeric resolutions in capillary electrophoresis. Not much work has been carried out on chiral resolution in NCE but the papers that are available are discussed here. 

The chiral recognition mechanisms in NLC and NCE devices are similar to conventional liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis with chiral mobile phase additives. It is important to note here that, to date, no chiral stationary phase has been developed in microfluidic devices. As discussed above polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics, proteins, crown ethers, ligand exchangers, and Pirkle s type molecules are the most commonly used chiral selectors. These compounds...
