Resum:
© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Two different columns—Lux Cellulose-1 and Chiralpak CBH—were evaluated for their chiral recognition abilities for eight drugs comprising three β-blockers, one antacid, and four cathinones in polar-organic elution mode and reversed-phase elution mode, respectively. The factors that affected the enantioseparation were tested and optimized to develop a suitable chiral separation method whose LC conditions are compatible with MS detection. In polar-organic elution mode with the Lux Cellulose-1 column, methanol and acetonitrile were tested as the main components of the mobile phase. In addition, the effects of adding isopropanol as organic modifier, acidic additives (formic acid), and basic additives (diethylamine) were evaluated. In reversed-phase elution mode with the Chiralpak CBH column, the effect of type and concentration of organic modifier (isopropanol, acetonitrile, and methanol), the mobile phase pH (6.4 and 5.0), and buffer concentration (1mM-20mM ammonium acetate) were evaluated. The best enantioseparation was achieved with the Chiralpak CBH column with a mobile phase composed of 5mM ammonium acetate aqueous (pH = 6.4)/methanol (95/5, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.1 mL/min and a temperature of 30°C. Under these conditions, six of eight chiral drugs were baseline separated.
