In this study, a direct HPLC method was developed to determine the enantiomeric purity of the immunomodulatory drug, ozanimod. A systematic method development process was followed, incorporating risk assessment, identification of critical analytical procedure parameters, initial screening of stationary phases, and software-assisted optimization of method parameters. Eight different polysaccharide-based chiral columns were selected to assess chiral separation of enantiomers under polar organic elution mode.

The interactions between PPI enantiomers and proteins were investigated using a multifaceted analytical approach, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), fluorescence and UV spectroscopy, as well as in silico molecular docking. HPLC analysis demonstrated that all three PPIs exhibited enantioseparation on an AGP-based chiral stationary phase, suggesting stereoselective binding to AGP, while only lansoprazole showed enantioselective binding on the HSA-based column.

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.

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.

Since the selected analytes are neutral, the enantiodiscrimination capabilities of nine anionic CD derivatives were determined, in 50 mM phosphate buffer pH = 6. Unanimously, the most successful chiral selector was the single isomeric -(6-sulfo)-β-cyclodextrin (HS-β-CD), which resulted in the highest enantioresolution values out of the CDs applied for five of the six enantiomeric pairs.

Using an HSA chiral stationary phase, the APR enantiomers were well separated, indicating enantioselective binding between the protein and the analytes. The influence of chromatographic parameters-type and concentration of the organic modifier, buffer type, pH, ionic strength of the mobile phase, flow rate and column temperature-on the chromatographic responses (retention factor and selectivity) was analyzed in detail.

In the screening phase of method development, seven columns were tested in polar organic (PO) mode using mobile phases consisting of 0.1% acetic acid in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and acetonitrile.

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 ( > 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.

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 most promising cyclodextrin derivatives were selected by phase-solubility studies. From the investigated nine cyclodextrins - differing in cavity size, nature of substituents, degree of substitution and charge - the highest solubility increase was observed with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD).
