Published: September 2016

We apply matched molecular pair (MMP) analysis to data from ChirBase, which contains literature reports of chromatographic enantioseparations. For the 19 chiral stationary phases we examined, we were able to identify 289 sets of pairs where there is a statistically significant and consistent difference in enantioseparation due to a small chemical change. In many cases these changes highlight enantioselectivity differences between pairs or small families of closely related molecules that have for many years been used to probe the mechanisms of chromatographic chiral recognition; for example, the comparison of N-H vs. N-Me analytes to determine the criticality of an N-H hydrogen bond in chiral molecular recognition. In other cases, statistically significant MMPs surfaced by the analysis are less familiar or somewhat puzzling, sparking a need to generate and test hypotheses to more fully understand. Consequently, mining of appropriate datasets using MMP analysis provides an important new approach for studying and understanding the process of chromatographic enantioseparation.

Enantioseparation and enantiorecognition are crucial in the pharmaceutical analysis of chiral substances, impacting safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. Enantioseparation refers to the process of separating enantiomers from a mixture, typically achieved through chromatography techniques like HPLC and SFC. In contrast, enantiorecognition involves the identification of enantiomers based on their interaction with a chiral selector without the need for separation.

Chiral macrocycles have emerged as attractive media for chromatographic enantioseparation due to their excellent host-guest recognition properties. In this study, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on 1,1'-binaphthyl chiral polyimine macrocycle (CPM) was reported. The CPM was synthesized by one-step aldehyde-amine condensation of (S)-2,2'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-3,3'-dicarboxaldehyde with 1,2-phenylenediamine and bonded on thiolated silica via the thiol-ene click reaction to afford the CSP.

Article Synopsis
  • Preparative chromatographic enantioseparation is the top method for isolating pure enantiomers during the early development of new drugs.
  • Supercritical fluid chromatography was chosen for this process due to its advantages over traditional liquid chromatography.
  • A total of 10 mg of each enantiomer of a new anti-inflammatory compound was successfully isolated, although some peak distortion occurred during testing, likely caused by the method of injection used.

Article Synopsis
  • Liquid chromatography (LC) has been criticized for using toxic solvents, leading to the exploration of "greener" methods like supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and enhanced fluidity liquid chromatography (EFLC) for complex analyses.
  • The study modifies the Analytical Method Greenness Score (AMGS) to factor in the cycle time of instruments, challenging the perception that SFC and EFLC are always the most environmentally friendly options.
  • By applying this modified metric to the separation of tobacco alkaloid enantiomers, the researchers demonstrated that retention patterns vary significantly, helping analytical chemists better assess the environmental impact of their methods.
