Abstract
The separation of enantiomers using chiral membranes has garnered much research interest. In this study, the enantioseparation of amino acids using chiral membranes, namely graphene oxide-ethylenediamine-maltodextrin (GO-EDA-MD) and GO-EDA-hydroxypropyl-MD (GO-EDA-HP-MD), was evaluated. HP-MD and MD were investigated as chiral selectors due to their inherent chirality. Various characterization techniques, including atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle analysis, tensile properties, and thermal gravimetric analysis were employed to analyze the membrane structures. The evaluation of enantioseparation performance was conducted by employing tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine enantiomers. Optimal conditions for enantiomer separation were achived using a GO-EDA-HP-MD chiral composite (1.75 wt%), a feed concentration of 10 mg/L for each enantiomer, a separation time of 15 min, and a membrane effective surface area of 1.0 cm2. Also, the bovine serum albumin rejection was 90.0 %, and the water flux reached 37.1 L m-2 h-1. The highest enantiomeric excess (ee.%) values were 46.33 %, 76.97 %, and 73.04 % for tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, respectively. The impact of voltage on ee.% and substance flux was also explored. This membrane was able to separate enantiomers successfully.

Abstract
Chiral separation has become a crucial topic for effectively utilizing superfluous racemates synthesized by chemical means and satisfying the growing requirements for producing enantiopure chiral compounds. However, the remarkably close physical and chemical properties of enantiomers present significant obstacles, making it necessary to develop novel enantioseparation methods. This review comprehensively summaries the latest developments in the main enantioseparation methods, including preparative-scale chromatography, enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction, crystallization-based methods for chiral separation, deracemization process coupling racemization and crystallization, porous material method and membrane resolution method, focusing on significant cases involving crystallization, deracemization and membranes. Notably, potential trends and future directions are suggested based on the state-of-art "coupling" strategy, which may greatly reinvigorate the existing individual methods and facilitate the emergence of cross-cutting ideas among researchers from different enantioseparation domains.

Abstract
Chirality is a common phenomenon in nature. Different enantiomers of chiral drug compounds have obvious differences in their effects on the human body. Therefore, the separation of chiral drugs plays an extremely important role in the safe utilization of drugs. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an effective tool for the separation and analysis of compounds, in which the chromatographic packing plays a key role in the separation. Chiral pharmaceutical separation and analysis in HPLC rely on chiral stationary phases (CSPs). Thus, various CSPs are being developed to meet the needs of chiral drug separation and analysis. In this review, recent developments in CSPs, including saccharides (cyclodextrin, cellulose, amylose and chitosan), macrocycles (macrocyclic glycopeptides, pillar[n]arene and polyamide) and porous organic materials (metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and porous organic cages), for pharmaceutical analysis in HPLC were summarized, the advantages and disadvantages of various stationary phases were introduced, and their development prospects were discussed.

Enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction of tryptophan enantiomers by a recyclable aqueous biphasic system based on stimuli-responsive polymers. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1656:462532.

Abstract
The hydrophobic organic solvents/water biphasic system had been always used in the traditional enantioselective liquid-liquid extraction (ELLE). In recent years, aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) are considered as a promising method used in the ELLE. In the present work, a recyclable ABS composed of a temperature-responsive polymer poly(MAH-β-CD-co-NIPAAm) (PN-CD) and a pH-responsive polymer poly(AA-DMAEMA-BMA) (PADB) was employed in the enantioseparation of tryptophan enantiomers. The polymer PN-CD acted as not only the phase-forming component but also the chiral selector, which can be recycled by changing the temperature. The polymer PADB can be used as the phase-forming component, which can also be recycled by adjusting the pH. The phase behaviors of this PN-CD/PADB ABS had been studied. The influencing parameters were studied for this chiral separation process, including the polymer concentration, initial tryptophan concentration, extraction temperature, and system pH. The maximum separation factor (α) of 1.42 was obtained by one-step extraction under the optimal conditions. Meanwhile, the distribution coefficients of L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and D-tryptophan (D-Trp) were 2.79 and 1.96, respectively. This study develops a green and sustainable strategy for enantioseparation by using the ELLE.

Abstract
Terbutaline is a β2 -adrenoceptor agonist for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Among the two isomers of terbutaline (TBT 2), R-isomer was found to be the potent enantiomer in generating therapeutic effect, while S-isomer has been reported to show side effects. In this study, R-terbutaline hydrochloride (R-TBH 6) was synthesized through chiral resolution from the racemic terbutaline sulfate (rac-TBS 1) with 99.9% enantiomeric excess (ee) in good overall yield (53.6%). Further, R-TBH 6 nebulized solution was prepared in half dosage of Bricanyl®, which is a marketed product of racemic terbutaline and evaluated in vitro aerosol performance and in vivo anti-asthmatic effect on guinea pigs via. pulmonary delivery. From the investigation, it is evident that R-TBH 6 nebulized solution of half dosage performed similar fine aerosol characteristics and anti-asthmatic effect with Bricanyl®.
