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. 

Pharmaceuticals and intermediates represent another important class of compounds. General classes of drugs that may well lend themselves to the IBC technology include the chiral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory profen drugs, norephedryns, and intermediates for a number of important drug classes including (i-blockers and racemic switch candidates.

Oumada et al. [148] described a new chromatographic method for determining the aqueous pKa of dmg compounds that are sparingly soluble in water. The method uses a rigorous intersolvent pH scale in a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of aqueous buffer and methanol. A glass electrode, previously standardized with common aqueous buffers, was used to measure pH online. The apparent ionization constants were corrected to a zero-cosolvent pH scale. Six sparingly soluble nonsteroidal antiinflammatory weak acids (diclofenac, flurbiprofen, naproxen, ibu-profen, butibufen, fenbufen) were used successfully to illustrate the new technique.

The commercially applied biphasic processes are compiled in Table 5.3. Tests to produce economically interesting profens or other analgesics by two-phase hydrocarboxylation [40] remain industrially unsuccessful. 

Acetaminophen or a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent, such as ibu-profen, can be used to relieve pain and malaise in acute otitis media. Decongestants, antihistamines, topical corticosteroids, or expectorants have not been proven effective for acute otitis media. 

Smaller diameter probes reduce sample volumes from 500 to 600 pi typical with a 5 mm probe down to 120-160 pi with a 3 mm tube. By reducing the sample volume, the relative concentration of the sample can be correspondingly increased for non-solubility limited samples. This dramatically reduces data acquisition times when more abundant samples are available or sample quantity requirements when dealing with scarce samples. At present, the smallest commercially available NMR tubes have a diameter of 1.0 mm and allow the acquisition of heteronuclear shift correlation experiments on samples as small as 1 pg of material, for example in the case of the small drug molecule, ibu-profen [5]. In addition to conventional tube-based NMR probes, there are also a number of other types of small volume NMR probes and flow probes commercially available [6]. Here again, the primary application of these probes is the reduction of sample requirements to facilitate the structural characterization of mass limited samples. Overall, many probe options are available to optimize the NMR hardware configuration for the type and amount of sample, its solubility, the nucleus to be detected as well as the type and number of experiments to be run. 

The procedure shows that it is feasible to combine racemization with the kinetic resolution process (hence the DKR) of R,S)- ethoxyethyl ibuprofen ester. The chemical synthesis of the ester can be applied to any esters, as it is a common procedure. The immobilized lipase preparation procedure can also be used with any enzymes or support of choice. However, the enzyme loading will need to be optimized first. The procedures for the enzymatic kinetic resolution and DKR will need to be adjusted accordingly with different esters. Through this method, the enantiopurity of (5)-ibuprofen was found to be 99.4 % and the conversion was 85 %. It was demonstrated through our work that the synthesis of (5)-ibuprofen via DKR is highly dependent on the suitability of the reaction medium between enzymatic kinetic resolution and the racemization process. This is because the compatibility between both processes is crucial for the success of the DKR. The choice of base catalyst will vary from one reaction to another, but the basic procedures used in this work can be applied. DKRs of other profens have been reported by Lin and Tsai and Chen et al. ... 

Avery recent study [128] deals with the comparison of two commercially available vancomycin-based CSPs with different surface coverage of the chiral selector in the enantioseparation of P-blockers and profens, by RP and POM separation modes. Higher retention and better resolution were obtained on the CSP with higher coverage of vancomycin in both the separation modes. However, in the case of pro fens, higher retention was not always accompanied by an improvement of the enantioselectivity in the RP mode. An accurate study of the influence of the mobile phase composition was also performed in both the separation modes.

Ibuprofen has good analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. Ibuprofen is made at approximately 16 million Ib/yr in the U.S. Its price is higher than aspirin or acetaminophen and is usually around 9.30/lb. Its common name does tell us something about its structure. There are a number of profens, ...
