Alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant, is widely used for treatment of various diseases. It is a racemic mixture, with R-(+)-α lipoic acid exhibiting greater potency, bioavailability, and effectiveness than those of the S-form. Thus, selective R-(+)-α lipoic acid has been recently used in various applications, necessitating the development of a method to test the enantiomeric impurity in R-(+)-α lipoic acid. We developed a simple and fast high-performance liquid chromatography method using a new immobilized amylose-based chiral column (Chiralpak IA-3). Design of experiment was applied to accurately predict the effects and interactions among various factors affecting the analytical parameters and to optimize the chromatographic conditions. This optimized method could completely separate the two enantiomer peaks with a resolution > 1.8 within a short running time (9 min). Then, the optimized method was validated according to the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization and applied for quantification of S-(-)-α lipoic acid in some commercial R-(+)-α lipoic acid tromethamine raw material. Our results suggested that the developed method could be used for routine quality control of R-(+)-α lipoic acid products.

Ibuprofen was analyzed by chiral high performance liquid chromatography. Retention behaviours of the standard mixtures of ibuprofen were investigated to obtain their acceptable resolution. A chromatographic column (3.9 ${\times}$ 300 mm) was packed by Kromasil CHI-TBB packings (10 $\mu\textrm{m}$) and n-hexane was used as a mobile phase with 0.1％ acetic acid and tert-butyl methyl ether. Isocratic elution of ibuprofen at 1.0 $m\ell$/min was performed by changing the mobile phase compositions. The experimental variables affecting the resolution were the compositions of mobile phase and chemical buffer (n-hexane and tert-butyl methyl ether). The resolution between the enantiomers were correlated into the several types of empirical equations including linear form, and their agreements between experimental data and calculated values were examined by the regression coefficient.

Two chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6 bonded covalently to silica gel were applied for the first time to the resolution of racemic vigabatrin and its analogue ${\gamma}$-amino acids and the resolution results were compared to those on the commercially available Crownpak CR(+) based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6 coated dynamically onto octadecylsilica gel. While vigabatrin was not resolved at all on Crownpak CR(+), it was resolved quite well on the two CSPs. Among four vigabatrin analogue ${\gamma}$-amino acids, only two were resolved on Crownpak CR(+), but three were resolved on the CSP (CSP 1) containing residual silanol groups and all of four were resolved on the CSP (CSP 2) containing residual silanol group-protecting n-octyl groups. The improved lipophilicity in CSP 2 was proposed to be responsible for its superiority to CSP 1 for the resolution of vigabatrin and analogue ${\gamma}$-amino acids. In addition, the composition of aqueous mobile phase was found to affect the chiral recognition behaviors for the resolution of vigabatrin and analogue ${\gamma}$-amino acids on CSP 2.

New diamide chiral stationary phases of four systematically substituted optically active N-(N-benzoyl-L-amino acid)-anilide synthesized from L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-phenylalanine were described. The behaviors of these diamides as optically active stationary phases for the separation of N-trifluoroacetyl-D,L-amino acids were examined with respect to separation factors(${\alpha}$) and thermodynamic properties of interaction. The separation of twelve N-trifluoroacetyl-D,L-amino acid isopropyl esters were improved by the order of N-(N-benzoyl-L-leucyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-isoleucyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-valyl)-anilide>N-(N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl)-anilide. Eight amino acid derivatives with non-polar R-group and threonine, serine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid enantiomers were separated on N-(N-benzoyl-L-leucyl)-anilide as chiral stationary phase with good separation factor between 1.07-1.25. The separation factors decreased with respect to increasing column temperature. Possible working temperature of diamide phase was between $130-190^{\circ}C$ for N-(N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl)-anilide and $130-180^{\circ}C$ for other three diamide phases. The differential Gibb's free energy (${\Delta}{\Delta}G$) of enantiomers was in the range of -100--180 cal/mol for ten amino acids and -40--60 cal/mol for alanine and aspartic acid.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to determine the optical purity of bevantolol enantiomers. (S)-(-)-Menthyl chloroformate((-)-MCF), (S)-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzyl isocyanate((-)-MBIC) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate(GITC), which can react with the secondary amine group of bevantolol were investigated as chiral derivatization reagents. Among them indirect chiral HPLC method using CITC gave the best result. The derivatization proceeded quantitatively within 20 min at room temperature. Separation of the enantiomers as diastereomers was achieved by reversed-phase HPLC within 20min using ODS column. Different ratios of (S)-(-)-bevantolol and (R)-(+)-bevantolol were prepared. Enantiomeric separation of these mixtures took place on a chiralcel OD column or, after derivatization with GITC, on a ODS column. No racemization was found during the experiment. This method allowed determination of 0.05% of either enantiomer in the presence of its stereoisomer and method validation showed adequete linearity over the required range.

An optical purity test was indirectly performed on (S)-ibuprofen as its diastereomeric (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamide derivative using achiral gas chromatography (GC). The method for the determination of trace (R)-ibuprofen (optical impurity), within the range 1.0 to 50 ng, from a racemic ibuprofen standard was linear (r＝0.9997) with acceptable precision (％ $RSD{\leq}5.3$) and accuracy (％ RE＝0.7~-3.9). Similar results were obtained with the method validation for the quantification of (S)-ibuprofen within the range 0.1 to 2.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$ using a (S)-ibuprofen stan-dard. When applied to seven different commercial (S)-ibuprofen products, their optical purities (98.7~99.1％) were determined with good precision (％ $RSD{\leq}4.0$).

A stereospecific HPLC method has been developed for the resolution of the enantiomers of salbutamol in human urine. After solid-phase extraction and derivatization with (S)-(-)-${\alpha}$-methyl-benzyl isocyanate, the diastereomeric derivatives were resolved $(R_s=1.59)$ on $5{\mu}M$ octadecylsilan column using 47% methanol as a mobile phase with fluorescence detection. The detection limit of each enantiomer was 10 ng/ml (S/N=3).

Three complexes, [bis(L-, D- and DL-alaninato)(diaqua)]nickel(II) di-hydrate, were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, gas chromatography, UV-Visible spectroscopy and isothermal calorimetry. Small deviations from the 50:50 distribution of the enantiomers assigned to chiral preferences of the ligands in the complexes were observed. The surprising and unexpected results indicate that complexing alanine with nickel(II) ion alters the racemization rates of D and L isomers of the amino acid. The precipitated complex due to change in pH resulted in preferential precipitation of one isomer with respect to the other. It has been observed that this alternation is ogmented by the long time span which would result in preferential protein forming from the L-isomer. Although the results are bizarre and perplexing, they are fascinating and sound scientifically.

The enantiomers of higenamine were directly separated by high performance liquid chromatography using a chiral stationary phase and detected by UV. The R- and S-isomers of higenamine were eluted at the retention time of 22 min and 27 min, respectively. Higenamine was determined to be present as R-(+)-enantiomer not only in the embryo of Nelumbo nucifera, from which the separation of R-(+)-higenamine was reported, but also in various Aconite roots, from which higenamine was separated as optically inert racemic mixtures.
