A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method employing amylose-based chiral columns (Chiralpak AD-RH and Chiralpak AD) and cellulose-based chiral columns (Chiralcel OD) as chiral stationary phases have been developed for the enantiomeric separation of fluoxetine (FLX) derivatives. The FLX was derivatized with 4-(N-chloroformylmethyl-N-methyl)amino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-COCl) and 4-(N-chloroformylmethyl-N-methyl)amino-7-N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-COCl), respectively. Influence of the mobile phase composition and column temperature on the enantioseparation was discussed during the separation. On the basis of separation of derivatized FLX enantiomers, the paper also discussed the separation mechanism on the chiral stationary phases used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
