Rapid Method Scouting of Chiral Compounds
2 / 14 �
Introduction
It is important that the efficacy and safety of compounds are evaluated as enantiomers, especially in pharmaceutical formulations and related industries. Chiral separation with HPLC is one of the typical methods for purifying enantiomers from racemic mixtures.
l In this method, the suitable column and mobile phase for targeted chiral separation have to be determined before starting the analysis.
To determine the optimized analytical conditions:
l A large number of candidate conditions have to be examined. l Extensive method development is required.
Today, a more prompt and simplistic system for determining the optimized analytical conditions is needed.

Introduction
On the other hand:
l High-throughput processing is employed for the purpose of efficiency.
l Recent advances in analytical throughput have been significantly improving efficiency and productivity in the analytical operation.
l The use of Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) has also gained much attention.
l Hence, in the field of method scouting, UHPLC technology is also increasing.

Conclusions
With the Nexera Method Scouting System and Chiral columns “i CHIRAL-6 series,” analytical conditions suitable for each chiral compound could be quickly determined. Furthermore, the data processing software “CLASS-Agent Report” was able to evaluate each chromatogram visually and quantitatively by comparing resolution or symmetry factor numerically, which achieved higher data processing efficiency. The Nexera Method Scouting System and Chiral columns used in this presentation are considered to be useful in: l pharmaceutical CMC; l method development departments in the chemical or food industry; and l drug discovery departments of active pharmaceutical ingredients
