Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatographic Separation, on Cellulose Chiral Stationary Phases, of the Stereoisomers of Methoxytetra-hydronaphthalene Derivatives, New Agonist and Antagonist Ligands for Melat
摘要
A stereoselective high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been established for chiral separation of melatoninergic derivatives with one or two chiral centers, new agonist and antagonist ligands for melatonin receptors. Reversed-phase separations were performed on cellulose-based chiral stationary phases—tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OD-RH) or tris-methylbenzoate (Chiralcel OJ-R). Water–modifier (methanol or acetonitrile) mixtures in different proportions were used as mobile phases. The effects of organic mobile-phase modifier concentration, temperature, and compound structure were examined. Baseline separation (RS > 1.5) was readily obtained for many of the compounds.
