“…column were 40 mg and 32 mg for propranolol HCl and thioridazine HCl, respectively, and the enantiomeric excess was better than 99.2% and 98.2%, respectively. 127 The most often used preparative chromatographic enantioseparation is simulated moving bed technology applied for such drugs as tramadol (productivity, with a feed concentration of 20 g/l, at a feed flow- 128 guaifenesin (on Chiralcel OD, productivity, 80.6 g/day/kg chiral stationary phase) 129,130 and others (formoterol, aminoglutethimide) 129,131 or for some pharmaceutical intermediates (ester of quinoline mevalonic acid). 132,133 A similar method, called closed-loop steady state recycling, was also used for that purpose.…”
