Uğur M, Bellur Atici E, Ozkan SA. A specific chiral HPLC method for lifitegrast and determination of enantiomeric impurity in drug substance, ophthalmic product and stressed samples. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 242:116039. [PMID: 38387128 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Lifitegrast is a lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist used to treat the indications and symptoms associated with dry eye disease (DED), one of the most common ocular surface diseases. Lifitegrast has a chiral center, and the S-enantiomer (S-Lif) is responsible for the therapeutic effects, while the R-enantiomer (R-Lif) lacks efficacy in the treatment of DED. Lifitegrast ophthalmic solution containing 5% lifitegrast was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2016 for the treatment of DED in patients 17 years of age and older. The objective of this study was to develop a chiral HPLC method for the determination of the enantiomeric impurity of lifitegrast in the drug substance and in the ophthalmic product. In addition, we aimed to investigate the effect of stress and stability conditions on the enantiomeric purity of lifitegrast in both drug substance and ophthalmic solution. During the method development studies, four known lifitegrast impurities (Lif. Imp. A-D) and stressed lifitegrast samples were injected to ensure the specificity of the developed method. The enantiomers of lifitegrast are well separated with a resolution of higher than 4.0. They are also well separated from the peaks of the diluent, impurities, and the placebo used to prepare the ophthalmic solution without interference in 20 min. Chiral separation was achieved using a Chiralpak AD-H column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm) at 40 °C with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of n-hexane, 2-propanol, and formic acid (500:500:2, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and a detection wavelength of 260 nm. Methanol was used as the diluent, and the drug substance solution was found to be stable for 48 h at 15 °C. The optimized chiral HPLC method for lifitegrast was validated according to ICH Q2, and the calibration curves showed excellent linearity for R-Lif (0.0369 - 1.816 µg/mL). This is the first stability-indicating, specific / selective, sensitive, linear, precise, accurate, and robust chiral HPLC method for the determination of R-Lif in S-Lif. The amount of enantiomeric impurity R-Lif in S-Lif increased under all stress and photostability test conditions without exceeding the acceptable impurity limit, with the most significant increase observed at elevated temperatures (105 °C) for both the drug substance in powder form and the ophthalmic drug solution.

Abstract
In this paper, the preparation of three new polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on levan carbamates (3,5-dimethylphenyl, 4-methylphenyl, and 1-naphthyl) is described. The enantioseparation of (±)-trans-β-lactam ureas 1a-h was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on six different chiral columns (Chiralpak AD-3, Chiralcel OD-3, Chirallica PST-7, Chirallica PST-8, Chirallica PST-9, and Chirallica PST-10) in the polar organic mode, using pure methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), and acetonitrile (ACN). Apart from the Chirallica PST-9 column (based on levan tris(1-naphthylcarbamate), the columns exhibited a satisfactory chiral recognition ability for the tested trans-β-lactam ureas 1a-h.

Simultaneous Determination of Enantiomeric Purity and Organic Impurities of Dexketoprofen Using Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography-Enhancing Enantioselectivity through Hysteretic Behavior and Temperature-Dependent Enantiomer Elution Order Reversal on Polysaccharide Chiral Stationary Phases. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2697. [PMID: 38473945 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the potential impurities of dexketoprofen, including the distomer R-ketoprofen. After screening the separation capability of four polysaccharide columns (Lux Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2, Lux Cellulose-1 and Lux Cellulose-2) in polar organic and in reversed-phase modes, appropriate enantioseparation was observed only on the Lux Amylose-2 column in an acidified acetonitrile/water mixture. A detailed investigation of the mobile phase composition and temperature for enantio- and chemoselectivity showed many unexpected observations. It was observed that both the resolution and the enantiomer elution order can be fine-tuned by varying the temperature and mobile phase composition. Moreover, hysteresis of the retention times and enantioselectivity was also observed in reversed-phase mode using methanol/water mixtures on amylose-type columns. This could indicate that the three-dimensional structure of the amylose column can change by transitioning from a polar organic to a reversed-phase mode, which affects the enantioseparation process. Temperature-dependent enantiomer elution order and rare enthalpic/entropic controlled enantioseparation in the operative temperature range were also observed in reversed-phase mode. To find the best methodological conditions for the determination of dexketoprofen impurities, a full factorial optimization design was performed. Using the optimized parameters (Lux Amylose-2 column with water/acetonitrile/acetic acid 50/50/0.1 (v/v/v) at a 1 mL/min flow rate at 20 °C), baseline separations were achieved between all compounds within 15 min. Our newly developed HPLC method was validated according to the current guidelines, and its application was tested on commercially available pharmaceutical formulations. According to the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to report hysteretic behavior on polysaccharide columns in reversed-phase mode.

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of azole analogs of monoterpene lactones and amides focusing on the separation characteristics of polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1717:464660. [PMID: 38280361 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography-based enantioseparation of newly prepared azole analogs of monoterpene lactones and amides was studied. Effects of additives and mobile phase composition were evaluated both in normal and polar organic modes. Applying amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) selector in normal and polar organic modes acid and base additives were found to affect the peak profiles, without significantly influencing the enantiorecognition ability of the studied selector. In most cases, differences observed in retention times and enantioselectivities were lower than 10 and 20 % under normal phase and polar organic conditions, respectively. Under normal phase conditions decreased retention was observed for all the studied analytes with increased eluent polarity. Interestingly, enantioselectivity was only slightly (<10 %) influenced by the variation in the n-hexane/2-propanol ratio between 80/20 and 20/80 v/v. In polar organic mode, five different neat solvents (acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol) were tested, and the best results were obtained with acetonitrile and ethanol in the case of Lux Amylose-1 column with enantioresolutions most often above 2. Based on results obtained with amylose and cellulose-based columns the amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) selector is found to offer a superior performance both in normal and polar organic modes. When evaluating the possible effects of the selector immobilization, no striking differences were found in the normal phase. Usually, enantioselectivities and resolutions were higher (10-20 %), while retention factors of the first peaks were lower (20-30 %), on the coated-type column. In contrast, in polar organic mode, the retention characteristics and enantiorecognition ability of the coated and immobilized selectors were heavily affected by the nature of the polar solvent. Special attention has been paid to the history-dependent behavior of polysaccharide-based selectors. A confidence interval-based evaluation is suggested to help comparison of the histereticity observed in different systems. Several examples are shown to confirm that the recently discovered hysteresis is a common characteristic of polysaccharide-based selectors.

Abstract
The chiral separation capability of Chiral-CD-Ph column, containing phenylcarbamate-β-cyclodextrin as the chiral selector in polar organic mode was investigated. A total of twenty-five compounds with different structures and acid-base properties were evaluated, and twenty of them were separated using acetonitrile or methanol as eluent. The effects of various chromatographic parameters, such as the type and proportion of organic modifier, flow rate, and column temperature were analyzed in detail in relation to chromatographic performance. A U-shape retention curve was observed when a mixture of acetonitrile and methanol was used as the eluent, indicating different types of interactions in different solvent mixtures. Van 't Hoff analysis was used for calculation of thermodynamic parameters which revealed that the enantioseparation is mainly enthalpy controlled; however, entropic control was also observed. The enantiomer recognition ability at the atomic level was also investigated through a molecular docking study, which revealed surface binding in polar organic mode instead of inclusion complexation. Our work proves that the phenylcarbamate-β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase can be effectively used in polar organic mode for the chiral separation of structurally diverse compounds. Furthermore, it is important to note that our study demonstrated that surface binding is responsible for the formation of supramolecular complexes in certain cyclodextrin derivatives.

Abstract
Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC) selector have long been recognized for their excellent chiral recognition ability in liquid chromatography. The conformational versatility behind this feature is the source of their known hysteretic behavior, which has been previously observed in polar organic (PO) mode eluents containing 2-propanol (IPA). Mixtures of IPA and acetonitrile (MeCN), a typical PO mode eluent system, have not been examined in this aspect yet, even though hysteresis is promising for finding unique unexplored enantioselectivities. Not only was the hysteresis detectable on ADMPC using mixtures of IPA and MeCN, but it was the typical behavior in a diverse set of test compounds. The difference in the retention time of the same analyte under conditions which only differed in the eluent history on the column can go up to 20-fold. The assumed hindered conformational changes of the selector were reflected in retention drift at certain eluent compositions. On the two sides of the transitions, distinct, useful states of the selector were detected. A series of IPA - MeCN compositions with defined pretreatment was selected and recommended as an extension of the preliminary, first choice method screening set that used only alcohols. The incorporation of a solvent possessing substantially different characteristics enhances the potential in practical applications, while keeping the technical simplicity. Stability and robustness of the additional states of the CSP were characterized. The examined columns of different brands shared the observed behavior. Kinetic stability of a column state is adequate for successful application. The evaluated states of ADMPC provide multiple enantiorecognition potential by using mixtures of IPA and MeCN also considering the pretreatment of the column. Unprecedented double and triple elution order reversals along the composition range supported the versatility of the available states. Our findings further enhance the usefulness of ADMPC-containing CSPs. We provide instructions for the application of the widespread chiral selector in common eluent mixtures to avoid pitfalls regarding reproducibility and robustness.

Chiral Separation of Apremilast by Capillary Electrophoresis Using Succinyl-β-Cyclodextrin-Reversal of Enantiomer Elution Order by Cationic Capillary Coating. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28083310.

Abstract
A stereospecific capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the separation of the novel, antipsoriatic agent, apremilast (APR). Six anionic cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives were screened for their ability to discriminate between the uncharged enantiomers. Only succinyl-β-CD (Succ-β-CD) presented chiral interactions; however, the enantiomer migration order (EMO) was unfavorable, and the eutomer, S-APR, migrated faster. Despite the optimization of all possible parameters (pH, cyclodextrin concentration, temperature, and degree of substitution of CD), the method was unsuccessful for purity control due to the low resolution and the unfavorable enantiomer migration order. Changing the direction of electroosmotic flow (EOF) by the dynamic coating of the inner surface of the capillary with poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride or polybrene resulted in EMO reversal, and the developed method could be applied for the determination of R-APR as the enantiomeric purity. Thus, the application of the dynamic capillary coating offers a general opportunity for enantiomeric migration order reversal in particular cases when the chiral selector is a weak acid.

Abstract
Cyclosporine A and sirolimus are immunosuppressants that are widely used in many organ transplantation procedures. They exhibit some complementary mechanisms of action and interact synergistically when used together. However, they are critical-dose drugs and have a narrow therapeutic index. They provide the desired therapeutic effect with acceptable tolerability only within a specific range of blood concentrations. Therefore, the rapid and simultaneous detection of the concentrations of cyclosporine A and sirolimus in whole blood could provide valuable information on planning medicine administration after organ transplantations. In this study, firstly, the chromatographic behaviors of cyclosporine A and sirolimus on a biological liquid chromatography (BioLC) column and traditional liquid chromatography (TraLC) columns were investigated systematically under the same chromatographic conditions. The results suggested that the peak height and peak width of cyclosporine A and sirolimus on the BioLC column, ZORBAX 300SB C8 (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5.0 μm), were the highest and narrowest, respectively. The number of theoretical plates of cyclosporine A and sirolimus on the ZORBAX 300SB C8 column increased significantly when the volume ratio of acetonitrile in the mobile phases was greater than 70%. Their retention time on the BioLC and TraLC columns was negligibly affected by the use of formic acid and trifluoroacetic acid as the mobile phases. In the range of the experimental column temperature, the number of theoretical plates of cyclosporine A and sirolimus on the ZORBAX 300SB C8 column was significantly higher than that on the two TraLC columns. Furthermore, the relationship between the retention factor and column temperature of cyclosporine A on the ZORBAX 300SB C8 column was different from that on the two TraLC columns. Subsequently, a high performance liquid chromatography method based on the ZORBAX 300SB C8 column was established for the rapid separation and determination of cyclosporin A and sirolimus in whole blood. A sample of whole blood with a volume of 50 μL was prepared by protein precipitation with 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide and then extracted into 500 μL of ether-methanol (95∶5, v/v). After centrifugation at 14000 r/min for 10 min, the organic layer was removed and evaporated under a stream of nitrogen at 50 ℃. The residue was then reconstituted in 200 μL of methanol for use. Cyclosporin A and sirolimus were separated through isocratic elution on the ZORBAX 300SB C8 column. The column temperature was set at 60 ℃. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (70∶30, v/v) and the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were 205 nm for cyclosporine A and 278 nm for sirolimus. The injection volume was 20 μL. The external standard method was used to quantify cyclosporine A and sirolimus. Under the optimized conditions, cyclosporine A and sirolimus were well-separated within 6 min with a resolution of 3.7 at 205 nm. In addition, the endogenous substances in whole blood negligibly interfered in the detection of sirolimus, while two endogenous substances slightly affected the detection of cyclosporine A. Cyclosporine A and sirolimus both showed good linear relationships in their respective concentration (r>0.997). The limits of detection (LODs) of cyclosporine A and sirolimus were respectively calculated to be 10 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were 30 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 10. In the whole blood samples, the recoveries of cyclosporine A and sirolimus at three spiked levels were in the ranges of 83.5%-89.7% and 95.8%-97.8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.2%-9.0% and 3.4%-6.7% (n=5), respectively. The established method is simple in operation, can be performed with a simple mobile phase, has a short analysis time, and provides a wide linear range and high sensitivity; hence, it can be applied to the determination of cyclosporine A and sirolimus in whole blood.

Abstract
In this study, methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and tert-butanol were used as organic modifiers in reversed-phase mode chiral liquid-chromatography to systematically investigate the effects of mobile phase components on the enantioselective retention behavior of methyl mandelate with immobilized amylose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate-based sorbent called Chiralpak IA. A two-site enantioselective model was used to obtain information on the recognition mechanisms by observing the dependence of the enantioselectivity and retention factor difference on the modifier content. Similar enantioselective retention behaviors were observed for all modifiers, and characteristic modifier concentration points (PL , PM , and PH ) were identified. At modifier concentrations up to PM , the weakened hydrophobic environment resulted in polymer structural relaxation, which changed the recognition mechanisms. By contrast, at concentrations beyond PH , considerably different enantioselectivity behaviors were observed, indicating that the existence of dipole-dipole interaction, which was stronger at higher modifier concentrations, contributed to the retention mechanisms. The concentrations at which these characteristic points occurred were dependent on the carbon number of the modifier molecule. Modifiers with more carbon numbers facilitated the transition in the enantioselective behaviors. These results demonstrated that the proposed method can provide a physically consistent quantitative description of enantioselective retention behavior in reversed-phase mode.

Abstract
It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules underlies enantioselective recognition as a fundamental phenomenon regulating life and human activities. Thus, noncovalent interactions represent the narrative thread of a fascinating story which goes across several disciplines of medical, chemical, physical, biological, and other natural sciences. This review has been conceived with the awareness that a modern attitude toward molecular chirality and its consequences needs to be founded on multidisciplinary approaches to disclose the molecular basis of essential enantioselective phenomena in the domain of chemical, physical, and life sciences. With the primary aim of discussing this topic in an integrated way, a comprehensive pool of rational and systematic multidisciplinary information is provided, which concerns the fundamentals of chirality, a description of noncovalent interactions, and their implications in enantioselective processes occurring in different contexts. A specific focus is devoted to enantioselection in chromatography and electromigration techniques because of their unique feature as "multistep" processes. A second motivation for writing this review is to make a clear statement about the state of the art, the tools we have at our disposal, and what is still missing to fully understand the mechanisms underlying enantioselective recognition.

Abstract
The analysis and separation of chiral compounds with wide polar range by supercritical fluid chromatography is of major importance in the process of drug development and quality control. In this work, a fast and reliable enantioselective method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of 8 DBZ-related enantiomers has been successfully developed by supercritical fluid chromatography using an amylose-based reversed-chiral stationary phase. Within less than seven minutes all target compounds could be baseline resolved, using a mobile phase comprising supercritical carbon dioxide and methanol with 0.05 % H3PO4. The optimum chiral stationary phase showed to be a CHIRALPAK® AD-RH column, operated at flow rate of 3.0 mL/min, back pressure of 150 bar and temperature of 40 °C. Method validation confirmed that the developed procedure was selective, linear (r2 > 0.998), accurate (recovery rates: 98.02-100.02 %), and precise (intra-day: 0.05-1.98 %, inter-day: 0.08-1.98 %); the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.13-0.55 μg/mL and 0.37-1.68 μg/mL on column, respectively. After initial evaluation of stability according to the ICH Q1A (R2) guideline, R-DBZ showed good stability. Thus, this developed method can be used for assessing the stability of bulk DBZ samples, dosage forms of DBZ and also for monitoring the synthetic procedures of DBZ.

Comparative Chiral Separation of Thalidomide Class of Drugs Using Polysaccharide-Type Stationary Phases with Emphasis on Elution Order and Hysteresis in Polar Organic Mode. Molecules 2021; 27:molecules27010111. [PMID: 35011343 PMCID: PMC8746373 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27010111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The enantioseparation of four phthalimide derivatives (thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide and apremilast) was investigated on five different polysaccharide-type stationary phases (Chiralpak AD, Chiralpak AS, Lux Amylose-2, Chiralcel OD and Chiralcel OJ-H) using neat methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), 1-propanol (PROP), 2-propanol (IPA) and acetonitrile (ACN) as polar organic mobile phases and also in combination. Along with the separation capacity of the applied systems, our study also focuses on the elution sequences, the effect of mobile phase mixtures and the hysteresis of retention and selectivity. Although on several cases extremely high resolutions (Rs > 10) were observed for certain compounds, among the tested conditions only Chiralcel OJ-H column with MeOH was successful for baseline-separation of all investigated drugs. Chiral selector- and mobile-phase-dependent reversals of elution order were observed. Reversal of elution order and hysteresis of retention and enantioselectivity were further investigated using different eluent mixtures on Chiralpak AD, Chiralcel OD and Lux Amylose-2 column. In an IPA/MeOH mixture, enantiomer elution-order reversal was observed depending on the eluent composition. Furthermore, in eluent mixtures, enantioselectivity depends on the direction from which the composition of the eluent is approached, regardless of the eluent pair used on amylose-based columns. Using a mixture of polar alcohols not only the selectivities but the enantiomer elution order can also be fine-tuned on Chiralpak AD column, which opens up the possibility of a new type of chiral screening strategy.

Abstract
The enantioseparation of four oxazolidinone and one biosimilar thiazolidine derivatives was performed on seven different polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases (Lux Amylose-1, Lux i-Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2, Lux Cellulose-1, Lux Cellulose-2, Lux Cellulose-3, Lux Cellulose-4) differing in backbone (cellulose or amylose), substituent or the immobilization technologies (coated or immobilized). Polar organic mode was employed using neat methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), 2-propanol (IPA) and acetonitrile (ACN) either alone or in combinations as mobile phases. Amylose-based columns with ACN provided the highest enantioselectivities for the studied compounds. The replacement of an oxygen with a sulfur atom in the backbone of the studied analytes significantly alters the enantiomer recognition mechanism. Chiral selector-, mobile-phase-, and interestingly immobilization-dependent enantiomer elution order reversal was also observed. Reversal of elution order and hysteresis of retention and enantioselectivity was further investigated using different mixtures of IPA:MeOH and ACN:MeOH on amylose-type chiral stationary phases. Hysteresis of retention and enantioselectivity was observed on all investigated amylose-type columns and binary eluent mixtures, which can be further utilized for fine-tuning chiral separation performance of the studied columns.

Abstract
3-(Methylene-bis(1',4'-phenylene) dicarbamate-2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-amylose)-2-hydroxylpropoxy-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (DMP-AM-HPS), a new type of 2, 3-regioselectively substituted amylose-immobilized chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), have been prepared by treatment of 3-(2,3-dihydroxyl-propoxy)-propylsilyl silica particles with 2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-amylose and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The chemical characterization of the bonded particles DMP-AM-HPS has been carried out by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis. The chromatographic performance of the DMP-AM-HPS has been evaluated in HPLC under multi-mode conditions including normal phase, reversed phase, and polar organic mobile phase conditions. The DMP-AM-HPS phase has exhibited excellent selectivity in separating enantiomers of a wide range of chiral drug compounds. The result also suggests that unsubstituted C6 hydroxyl groups in the regioselectively substituted amylose not only have important contributions to chiral recognitions and chromatographic separations, but also allow the DMP-AM-HPS to be used as a new type of amylose-immobilized CSP under multi-mode mobile phase conditions in HPLC.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are benzimidazole-derivative chiral sulfoxides, frequently used in the treatment of gastric hyperacidity-related disorders. Due to their stereoselective metabolism, the eutomeric forms of PPIs can present a more advantageous pharmacokinetic profile by comparison with the distomers or racemates. Moreover, two representatives of the class are used in therapy both as racemates and as pure enantiomers (esomeprazole, dexlansoprazole). A relatively large number of enantioseparation methods employed for the stereoselective determination of PPIs from pharmaceutical, biological, and environmental matrices were published in the past three decades. The purpose of the current overview is to provide a systematic survey of the available chiral separation methods published since the introduction of PPIs in the therapy up to the present. Analytical and bioanalytical methods using different chromatographic and electromigration techniques reported for the enantioseparation of omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, ilaprazole, and tenatoprazole are included. The analytical conditions of the presented methods are summarized in three comprehensive tables, while a critical discussion of the applied techniques, possible mechanism of enantiorecognition, and future perspectives on the topic are also presented.

Abstract
The electrostatic interactions between chiral solutes and polysaccharide (PS)-based chiral selectors are the key to achieving chiral recognition; however, PS-based sorbents, derivatized of phenyl moieties, can exhibit considerably non-polar characteristics, and they are also useful for the separation of enantiomers in the reversed-phase mode. In this study, an immobilized amylose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate-based sorbent was used to investigate the balance between electrostatic interactions and solvophobic interactions, with complementary effects on solute retention behavior when the isopropanol (IPA) concentration was altered. It was proposed that in both normal- and reversed-phase modes, information on the retention mechanisms could be obtained by observing the curvature of the logarithm of the retention factor versus the logarithm of the IPA concentration, and the slope values of the curves were related to the number of displaced IPA molecules upon solute adsorption. Using the proposed model and the two-site adsorption model, the retention behaviors of pantolactone (PL) enantiomers in both normal- and reversed-phase modes were investigated. The PL-sorbent interactions were classified into four types: electrostatic/enantioselective, electrostatic/nonselective, solvophobic/enantioselective, and solvophobic/nonselective. At IPA concentrations below 50 vol.% in n-hexane, the retention behaviors of PL were dominated by electrostatic/enantioselective sites, whereas at IPA concentrations beyond 50 vol.%, the solvophobic interactions of PL-sorbent were strengthened and mostly nonselective. By contrast, in the reversed-phase mode, a reverse in the enantiomeric elution order of PL was observed at 10 vol.% IPA, and considerably different enantioselectivity behaviors were found below and above 20 vol.%, indicating an abrupt change in the sorbent molecular environment. At IPA concentrations beyond 40 vol.%, the presence of PL-sorbent electrostatic interactions enhanced chiral recognition.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are outstandingly suitable to play a key role in chiral HPLC method selection strategies, since they provide high success rates. One reason for this ability is that they adopt a diversity of higher order structures in various eluents, resulting in versatile chiral environments. A potential to extend this versatility further was expected and examined in the present study, based on the recently discovered hysteretic behavior of a widely used chiral selector (CS), amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate). The hindered transitions of its structure, which are behind the history dependence of its separation ability, were used as a tool to identify distinct states of the chiral selector in order to exploit an extended selectivity space. The identification was carried out using a single diagnostic compound, as opposed to the common approach where testing a library of compounds is required. Eluent mixtures consisting of 2-propanol and either methanol or ethanol were scrutinized in terms of stability and robustness of the observed retentions. The solvent mixtures that were eligible for practical application in these respects were used to construct a screening sequence, including identical compositions combined with different column pretreatment. The gain achievable by using the proposed sequence was then evaluated using 15 enantiomer pairs with focus on resolution, enantiomer elution order and chemoselectivity.

Abstract
The separation of enantiomers of some chiral weak acids was studied in HPLC with chiral HPLC columns prepared by coating or covalent immobilization of the same chiral selector, namely amylose tris(3-chloro-5-methylphenylcarbamate) onto silica. After screening some representatives of arylpropionic acid derivatives, coumarins and barbiturates in hydrocarbon-alcohol type mobile phases, we studied the temperature dependence of separation parameters for ketoprofen and naproxen. Instances of reversal of the enantiomer elution order were observed function of column temperature, nature of polar modifier and its content in the mobile phase, as well as between the coated and covalently immobilized versions of the columns made with more-or-less the same chiral selector. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy, the standard molar entropy and the standard molar enthalpy of analyte transfer from the mobile to the stationary phase were calculated in some cases in order to explain the differences observed in the enantiomer separation ability and pattern of coated and covalently immobilized columns.
