  • Title: Rapid method development for chiral separation in drug discovery using sample pooling and supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
    Author: Zhao Y, Woo G, Thomas S, Semin D, Sandra P.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2003 Jun 27; 1003(1-2):157-66. PubMed ID: 12899305.
    Abstract:
    A novel strategy for rapid chiral method development has been implemented using sample pooling and supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) on four chiral stationary phases, namely Chiralpak AD and AS, and Chiralcel OJ and OD, and eight different modifier concentrations (5 to 40% methanol-0.2% isopropylamine). The screening is performed under an outlet pressure of 110 bar at 35 degrees C, and at a flow-rate of 2.5 ml/min for the initial 20 min and then ramped up to 4 ml/min and held for 4.5 min to elute all solutes from the column. The entire process is fully automated from injection to data processing, and operates unattended for 15 h overnight to obtain optimal chiral separation for multiple compounds. A unique feature of using SFC-MS to monitor chiral synthesis is the negligible interferences from achiral impurities. In addition, with SFC-MS, enantiomeric excess can be determined with much lower detection limits than UV and much shorter analysis times compared to normal-phase/reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
