TY - JOUR T1 - Progress in Chiral Stationary Phase Design for Enantioseparation: A Brief Review AU - Ahmed Mansour AU - Omar Saeed AU - Lina Hassan AU - Nour Abdelrahman JF - EAMD 3 Y1 - 0 VL - 0 IS - 0 SP - 44 N2 - Producing enantiomerically pure drugs from racemic mixtures has become a critical objective in modern pharmaceutical science. Racemic compounds typically consist of two or more enantiomers, of which only one may be therapeutically active, while the others may be biologically inactive or even toxic, including teratogenic effects. Hence, the ability to effectively isolate the desired enantiomer is essential for ensuring both the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical treatments. This mini-review provides an overview of recent innovations in chiral stationary phases (CSPs) employed for the resolution of racemic drugs and mixtures. It covers various classes of CSPs, including those based on Pirkle-type selectors, polysaccharides, polypeptides, inclusion complexes, ligand-exchange mechanisms, macrocyclic antibiotics, and other novel materials. The performance of these phases in a range of separation techniques—such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography—is examined. Emphasis is also placed on the types of molecular interactions between CSPs and target analytes that drive effective enantioseparation. UR - https://pubsys.eshragh.co/o380788503 ER -
