Glycopeptide-type CSPs

Another attractive feature of glycopeptide-type CSPs is a certain level of predict-...

In addition to the vancomycin and teicoplanin CSPs, ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R) [289] and recently avoparcin [280] have been evaluated as novel chiral SOs and CSPs. It turned out that within the large family of macrocyclic antibiotics complementarity of enantioselectivity exists for different glycopeptides. As a consequence, very often it is possible to obtain a complete resolution by switching to a congeneric antibiotic CSP, if after optimization no baseline, but partial. separation can be achieved on a certain macrocyclic antibiotic type CSP (see Fig. 9.22). It can be expected that the enantioselectivity potential of closely related antibiotics will be further exploited in the future leading to an increase in the number of macrocyclic antibiotic type CSPs. 

Tesarova and Bosakova [58] proposed an HPLC method for the enantio-selective separation of some phenothiazine and benzodiazepine derivatives on six different chiral stationary phases (CSPs). These selected CSPs, with respect to the structure of the separated compounds, were either based on b-CD chiral selectors (underivatized (J>-CD and hydroxypropyl ether (3-CD) or on macrocyclic antibiotics (vancomycin, teicoplanin, teicoplanin aglycon and ristocetin A). Measurements were carried out in a reversed-phase separation mode. The influence of mobile phase composition on retention and enantio-selective separation was studied. Enantioselective separation of phenothiazine derivatives, including levopromazine (LPZ), promethazine and thioridazine, was relatively difficult to achieve, but it was at least partly successful with both types of CSPs used in this work (CD-based and glycopeptide-based CSP), except for levomepromazine for which only the [CCD-based CSP was suitable. 

For most free amino acids and small peptides, a mixture of alcohol with water is a typical mobile phase composition in the reversed-phase mode for glycopeptide CSPs. For some bifunctional amino acids and most other compounds, however, aqueous buffer is usually necessary to enhance resolution. The types of buffers dictate the retention, efficiency and - to a lesser effect - selectivity of analytes. Tri-ethylammonium acetate and ammonium nitrate are the most effective buffer systems, while sodium citrate is also effective for the separation of profens on vancomycin CSP, and ammonium acetate is the most appropriate for LC/MS applications. 

The most popular and commonly used chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are polysaccharides, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics, Pirkle types, proteins, ligand exchangers, and crown ether based. The art of the chiral resolution on these CSPs has been discussed in detail in Chapters 2-8, respectively. Apart from these CSPs, the chiral resolutions of some racemic compounds have also been reported on other CSPs containing different chiral molecules and polymers. These other types of CSP are based on the use of chiral molecules such as alkaloids, amides, amines, acids, and synthetic polymers. These CSPs have proved to be very useful for the chiral resolutions due to some specific requirements. Moreover, the chiral resolution can be predicted on the CSPs obtained by the molecular imprinted techniques. The chiral resolution on these miscellaneous CSPs using liquid chromatography is discussed in this chapter. 

There are many classes of CSPs applicable in different mobile-phase modes. In particular, CSPs based on derivatized polysaccharides, native and derivatized cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptides, and Pirkle-type chiral selectors operate quite well in four separation modes, i.e RP, polar organic phase, NP, and super- or subcritical fluid chromatography (SFC) conditions. It is common that a chiral compound can be separated on the same CSP in more than one separation mode [58, 160, 166, 170-176]. For example, Nutlin-3, a small molecule antagonist of MDM2, has been baseline resolved from its enantiomer in all four mobile-phase conditions (Fig. 16) [170]. Multimodal enantioseparation on the same CSP would be greatly beneflcial for chiral method development in pharmaceutical industry.
