Abstract Lactic acid is a biologically important organic acid existing in two enantiomeric forms which are differently metabolized in the human body. In this paper, direct chiral separation of lactic acid by high performance liquid chromatography is presented. Five chiral stationary phases based on macrocyclic antibiotics were used for enantioseparation and chromatographic parameters, such as retention factors, resolution and selectivity factors, were determined under different column temperatures ranging from 5 to 45 °C. Optical isomers of lactic acid were efficiently separated using chiral stationary phases based on teicoplanin (R S = 1.9 ) and ristocetin (R S = 1.7 ) in reversed-phase separation mode at the column temperature of 25 °C.

The increased use and applicability of Cannabis and Cannabis-derived products has skyrocketed over the last 5 years. With more and more governing bodies moving toward medical and recreational legalization, the need for robust and reliable analytical testing methods is also growing. While many stationary phases and methods have been developed for this sort of analysis, chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are unique in this area; not only can they serve their traditional chiral separation role, but they can also be used to perform achiral separations. Given that mixtures of cannabinoids routinely contain enantiomers, diastereomers, and structural isomers, this offers an advantage over the strictly achiral-only analyses. This work presents the separation of a 10-cannabinoid mixture on several polysaccharide-based sub-2 µm CSPs with both normal-phase and reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) conditions. Along with the separation of the mixture, appropriate single-peak identification was performed to determine the elution order and reported where applicable.

Abstract Chromatographic columns with chiral stationary phases based on chemically - bonded derivatized cyclofructans were evaluated for HPLC enantioresolution of underivatized α-amino acids. The analytical study of chiral separation of these analytes was focused on the selection of suitable chiral stationary phase and mobile phase. Using isopropyl carbamate cyclofructan 6 as a chiral stationary phase, α- amino acid optical isomers were separated. The retention and enantioseparation of chiral amino acids were also influenced by a mobile phase composition. The mixture methanol/acetonitrile/acetic acid/triethylamine (75/25/0.3/0.2 v/v/v/v) was found to be the most effective mobile phase for HPLC separation of studied compounds. HPLC enantioresolution of chiral amino acids was thermodynamically studied. Based on the enthalpy and entropy contribution values calculated from the van´t Hoff equation, HPLC enantioseparation under chosen chromatographic conditions was found to be an enthalpically driven.

Abstract Methionine is a naturally occurring amino acid. Its enantiomeric separation by using high performance liquid chromatography on various types of chiral stationary phases was studied. The effect of mobile phase composition on enantioselectivity and retention was considered. The separation of the enantiomers was attained in different separation modes – reversed phase mode for the macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phases (teicoplanin, teicoplanin aglycone), normal phase and polar organic phase modes for the isopropyl carbamate cyclofructan 6 chiral stationary phase. It was shown that the hydrogen bonding, dipole interactions, steric effects between methionine molecules and stationary phases play an important role in the separation of enantiomers.
