Amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) are a group of ${\beta}$-phenethylamine derivatives that produce central nervous system stimulants effects. The representative ATS are methamphetamine and 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and abuse of ATS has become a global problem. Methamphetamine is abused in North America and Asia, while amphetamine and 3, 4-methyle nedioxym ethamphetamine (Ecstasy) are abused in Europe and Australia. Methamphetamine is also the most abused drug in Korea. In addition to the conventional ATS, new psychoactive substances (NPS) including phenethylamines and synthetic cathinones, which have similar effects and chemical structure to ATS, continue to spread to the global market since 2009, and more than 739 NPS have been identified. For the analysis of ATS, two tests that have different theoretical principles have to be conducted, and screening tests by immunoassay and confirmatory tests using GC/MS or LC/MS are the global standard methods. As most ATS have a chiral center, enantiomer separation is an important point in forensic analysis, and it can be conducted using chiral derivatization reagents or chiral columns. In order to respond to the growing drug crime, it is necessary to develop a fast and efficient analytical method.

모세관 기체크로마토그래피에 의한 cyclodextrin 정지상들(PH-${\beta}$-CD, DA-${\beta}$-CD, TA-${\gamma}$-CD)을 이용하여 라세미 알코올들과 그 유도체들의 분리를 연구하였다. 실험에 사용한 모든 알코올들은 trifluoro acetic anhydride, acetic anhydride, trichloro acetic anhydride를 써서 유도화하였다. 거울상체들의 분리선택성은 acylation 시약의 형태에 상당히 의존하는 것을 알았다. 알코올과 그 유도체들의 광학분활에 대한 최상의 실험조건은 용질분자들의 극성에 따라 다르다. 그리고 키랄분리에 관해서 온도, 컬럼이 극성, 수소 결합력, 알코올과 CD 정지상의 입체효과 등의 의존에 관한 연구를 행하였다. 키랄 인식 기구는 키랄 정지상의 종류에 의존하지 않고, 라세미 알코올의 유도체화에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다.

시중에 시판되고 있는 우유를 전처리하여 이 우유에 포함된 유리 아미노산을 dansyl-chloride로 유도체화시켜 C-18 컬럼을 이용한 역상 LC법으로 분리한 다음 표준물 첨가법으로 정량했다. 미량의 D-아미노산의 분리에서는 LC의 Column-Switching System을 이용하였으며 비키랄 컬럼을 통과한 단실 D/L-아미노산에 $Cu(N-benzyl-L-proline)_2$를 이동상에 첨가한 키랄 분리를 수행하여 L-아미노산에서 D-아미노산을 분리 정량했다. 이 방법은 우유시료 중에 존재하는 16가지 아미노산의 정량이 가능하며 이중에 12가지의 D-아미노산이 column switching 방법을 통한 키랄 분리로 정량이 가능하다. 우유 100 mL에 총 유리 아미노선이 41.00 mg 포함되어 있음을 확인했으며, D-아미노산은 D-glutamic acid가 2.05%, D-alanine 2.93%만이 포함되어 있음을 확인했다.

Since the secretion of specific chiral isomers in urine (or plasma) is very crucial to diagnose some inborn metabolic disorders, clinical application of dual column achiral differential method has been performed for the absolute configuration of chiral compounds. Extracted from the acidified urine with diethyl ether, carboxylic functional group of organic acid (stereoisomers of the volatile) was derivatized with (-)-menthylation or (S)-(+)-3-methyl-2-butylation and followed by O-trifluoroacylation. Each of the enantiomers was accurately separated from the library matched double column (achiral) with a retention index (I). In various inborn metabolic disease urines, absolute chirality was identified correctly in the urine (10 patients) with inborn metabolic disease (including secretion of D, L- lactic acid, D, L-3-hydroxybutyric acid, and D, L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid). In this study, we identified and isolated the volatile diastereomer as a useful diagnostic marker, this successful application to urine specimens may be useful for diagnostic classification of inherited metabolic disorders.

To obtain the standard compounds of metoprolol for a pharmacokinetic study, a convenient synthetic procedure to prepare enantiomers of metoprolol (3a) and its major metaboites, 2-4-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropylamino)propoxyphenylathanol (3b) and 4-(2-hydroxy-3- isopropylamino) pro-poxyphenylacetic acid (4), was developed from their respective starting materials, 4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenol (1a), 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol (1b) and methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (1c). These phenolic compounds (1a, b, c) were converted in situ to their corresponding phenoxides with sodium hydroxide treatment followed by (R)- or (S)-epichlorohydrin treatment. The resulting epoxides 2 were transformed to 3 through reaction with isopropylamine. Ester 3c was hydrolyzed to the metabolite 4. Measured using the HPLC method on chiral column without any derivatization, the optical purity of enantiomers of metoprolol and o-demethylated metabolite 3b ranged between 96-99 ％ ee and that of enantiomers of carboxylic acid metabolite 4 ranged 91％ ee.
