Various racemic N-protected ${\alpha}-amino$ acids such as N-t-BOC-(tert-butoxycarbonyl), N-CBZ-(benzyloxycarbonyl) and N-FMOC-(9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) ${\alpha}-amino$ acids were resolved as their anilide and 3,5-dimethylanilde derivatives on an HPLC chira l stationary phase (CSP) developed by modifying a commercial (S)-leucine CSP. The chromatographic resolution results were compared to those on the commercial (S)-leucine CSP. The resolutions were greater on the modified CSP than those on the commercial CSP with only one exception, the resolution of N-t-BOC-phenylglycine anilide. In addition, the chromatographic resolution behaviors were quite consistent except for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives, the (S)-enantiomers being retained longer. Based on the chromatographic resolution behaviors and with the aid of CPK molecular model studies, we proposed a chiral recognition mechanism for the resolution of N-protected ${\alpha}-amino$ acid derivatives. However, for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives, a second chiral recognition mechanism, which competes in the opposite sense with the first chiral recognition mechanism, was proposed. The two competing chiral recognition mechanisms were successfully used in the rationalization of the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of N-protected phenylglycine derivatives.

Chromatographic enantiomer resolution of chiral amines was performed on several covalently immobilized and coated chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on polysaccharide derivatives under the mobile phase conditions containing base or acid or acid/base additive. The chromatographic parameters including separation factors and capacity factors were greatly influenced by the nature of the mobile phase containing base or acid or salt additive as well as the used CSPs. When 0.05% triethylamine/0.05% trifluoroacetic acid as an additive in the mobile phase was used on all CSPs in this study, the greatest enantiomer resolution was observed except for Chiralpak AD. Also, it was shown that the change of base additive into acid or salt in the mobile phase may directly affect chiral recognition mechanisms between the chiral selectors and analytes occurring during enantiomer separation, resulting in the change of elution orders.

Two diastereomeric chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were applied to the liquid chromatographic resolution of various racemic ${\alpha}$-amino methyl esters, ${\alpha}$-amino N,N-diethylamides and ${\alpha}$-amino N-propylamides. The CSP incorporating (R)-3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphtyl and (R,R)-tartaric acid unit as chiral barriers did not show any chiral recognition. In contrast, the CSP incorporating (R)-3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphtyl and (S,S)-tartaric acid unit as chiral barriers was found to show excellent chiral recognition especially for the two enantiomers of ${\alpha}$-amino N-propylamides. Some of ${\alpha}$-amino methyl esters and ${\alpha}$-amino N,N-diethylamides were also resolved on the CSP incorporating (R)-3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphtyl and (S,S)-tartaric acid unit. From these results it was concluded that the two chiral units composing the diastereomeric CSPs can show "matched" or "mismatched" effect on the chiral recognition according to their absolute stereochemistry.

Two enantiomers of various 2-hydroxy acid esters have been resolved as the 3,5-dinitrophenyl carbamates on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from ${\alpha}-arylalkylamines.$ Two CSPs, each of which contains the same type of chiral moiety, but shows different mode of connection to a silica support, have been found to show the contrasting resolution behaviors. From the contrasting resolution behaviours of two CSPs used in this study, two competing chiral recognition mechanisms are proposed.

Quantitative Structure-Resolution Relationship (QSRR) using the Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) software was applied to predict the chromatographic behaviors of chiral drugs with an amine moiety on the chiral cellobiohydrolase (CBH) columns. As a result of the Quantitative CoMFA-Resolution Relationship study, using the partial least square method, prediction of the behavior of drugs with amine moiety upon chiral separation became possible from their three dimensional molecular structures. When a mixed mobile phase of 10 mM aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) - isopropanol (95 : 5) was employed, the best Quantitative CoMFA-Resolution Relationship, derived from the study, provided a cross-validated $q^2$ = 0.933, a normal $r^2$ = 0.995, while the best Quantitative CoMFA-Separation Factor Relationship, also derived from the study, yielded a cross-validated $q^2$ = 0.939, a normal $r^2$ = 0.991. When all of these results are considered, this QSRR-CoMFA analysis appears to be a very useful tool for the preliminary prediction on the chromatographic behaviors of drugs with an amine moiety inside chiral CBH columns.

Crown ether-based HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully utilized in the resolution of various racemic compounds containing a primary amino group. Especially, CSPs based on chiral crown ethers incorporating chiral binaphthyl unit or tartaric acid unit and based on phenolic pseudo chiral crown ethers have shown high chiral recognition efficiency. In this account paper, a review on the development of crown etherbased HPLC CSPs, their structural characteristics and applications to the resolution of racemic compounds including chiral drugs containing a primary or secondary amino group with the variation of the type and the content of mobile phase components and with the variation of the column temperature is presented.

In terms of chiral issue, two enantiomers of chiral drugs often differ significantly in their pharmacological, toxicological and pharmacokinetic profile. Chiral switches of racemic drugs have been redeveloped as single enantiomers. Several chiral resolution techniques in chirotechnology are introduced and the most used chiral HPLC chromatographic method among several chiral analysis techniques is described with its several advantages. Several types of chiral HPLC columns derived from their chiral selectors are discussed with their property and applications for enantiomer separation.

This paper introduces a technique for resolving amino acids that combines the advantages of the conventional CSP (chiral stationary phase) method with the CMPA (chiral mobile phase additive) method. A commercially available chiral crown ether column, CROWNPAK CR(+), was used as the CSP and three cyclodextrins (${\beta}$-CD, ${\gamma}$-CD, HP-${\beta}$-CD) were used as the mobile phase additives. Chromatographic resolution was performed at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ with or without sonication. A comparison of the chromatographic results under ultrasonic conditions with those under non-ultrasonic conditions showed that ultrasound decreased the elution time and enantioselectivity at all temperatures. In the case of the ${\beta}$-CD mobile phase additive, the elution time and enantioselectivity under ultrasonic condition were significantly higher than under non-sonic condition at all temperatures. Commercially available Chiralpak AD, Whelk-O2 and Pirkle 1-J columns were used as CSPs to examine more meticulously the effects of ultrasonication and temperature on the optical resolution. The optical resolution of some chiral samples analyzed at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ with or without sonication was compared. As in the previous case, the enantioselectivity was lower at $25^{\circ}C$ but similar enantioselectivity was observed at $50^{\circ}C$.

Considering the greater role of α-amino acids in our daily lives, the enantiomer resolution of seven α-amino acids derivatized with fluorogenic reagent (4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, NBD-F) by chiral HPLC on amylose or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) under simultaneous ultraviolet (UV) and fluorescence (FL) detection was performed. The degree of enantioseparation and resolution was affected by nature and selector backbones of the CSPs as well as the kind of amino acids. Baseline enantiomer separation and resolutions were observed for the enantiomers of all analytes as NBD derivatives especially on coated type amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derived CSPs (Chiralpak AD-H and Lux Amylose-1). The other CSPs also showed good enantioselectivity except for the CSPs (Chiralpak IB, Chiralcel OD-H and Lux Cellulose-1) having cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as chiral selectors. The developed analytical chiral method was applied to determine the enantiomeric purity of seven commercially available L-α-amino acids and the impurities as D-forms were found to be in the range 0.08-0.87 %, respectively. The intra- and interday accuracy and precision assays showed high accuracy and precision of the developed analytical method. This chiral HPLC method for the enantiomer resolution of amino acids using fluorescent derivatization could be useful for the determination of enantiomeric purity of pharmaceuticals and biological study for amino acid type compounds among chiral drugs.
