Sulfated cyclofructan 6 (S‐CF6) and sulfated cyclodextrins (S‐α‐, β‐, γ‐CDs) are highly selective chiral selectors for the enantioseparation of basic solutes. In this study, S‐CF6 was introduced for the enantiomeric separation of four basic pharmaceuticals (including tamsulosin, tiropramide, bupivacaine, and norephedrine) by capillary electrophoresis (CE), and the enantiomeric separation performance...
With the aim to define a combined computational/chromatographic empirical approach useful for the high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method development of new chiral compounds, 36 racemic aromatic compounds with different chemical structures were used as test probes on four polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) of the Lux series, namely Lux Cellulose‐1, Lux Cellulose‐2, Lux...
In this contribution, the enantioselective interactions between diclofop (DC) and human serum albumin (HSA) were explored by steady‐state and 3D fluorescence, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐vis), and molecular modeling. The binding constants between R‐DC and HSA were 0.9213 × 105, 0.9118 × 105, and 0.9009 × 105 L · mol‐1 at 293, 303, 313 K, respectively. Moreover, the binding constants of S‐DC...
For a novel potential commercial chiral pesticide, an independent study on the fate characteristics and residues of each stereoisomer is essential if the application rates for the pesticide and human exposure are to be reduced. The absorption and translocation behavior of a chiral insecticide, cycloxaprid, in plants treated by root immersion and blade smearing was studied using 14C‐labeling tracer...
The stereoselective metabolism of lactofen in primary rat hepatocytes was studied using a chiral high‐performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method. Rac‐lactofen and its two enantiomers, S‐(+)‐ and R‐(−)‐lactofen, as well as two of its major metabolites, acifluorfen, S‐(+)‐ and R‐(−)‐desethyl lactofen, were used as substrates,. The single and joint cytotoxicity of parent compounds and the metabolites...
A series of tripeptide organocatalysts containing a secondary amine group and two amino acids with polar side chain units were developed and evaluated in the direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reaction of 4‐nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone. The effectiveness of short polar peptides as asymmetric catalysts in aldol reactions to attain high yields of enantio‐ and diastereoselective isomers were...
The impressive advances of computational spectroscopy in most recent years are providing robust and user‐friendly multifrequency virtual spectrometers, which can also be used by nonspecialists to complement experimental studies. At the heart of these developments there are latest‐generation models based on Density Functional Theory for the proper treatment of stereo‐electronic effects, coupled to...
All experimental procedures discussed could be treated as a screening tool for probing the existence of molecular association among the chiral molecules and the solvent system. The molecular association phases of a racemic conglomerate solution (CS) and a racemic compound solution (RCS), and the templating effect of aspartic acid solid surface were observed to minimize the chance of redissolving racemic...
The definition of the term chirality by Lord Kelvin in 1893 and 1904 is analyzed by taking crystallography at that time into account. This shows clearly that chirality is a relational geometric‐physical property, i.e., two relations between isometric objects are possible: homochiral or heterochiral. In scientific articles the relational term chirality is often mistaken for the two valued measure for...
In order to define an enantioselectivenuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method for the antiasthmatic drug montelukast, a series of nine easily available products were evaluated as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs): D‐dibenzoyltartaric acid, D‐ditoluoyltartaric acid, (+)‐camphorsulfonic acid, (S)‐BINOL, (S)‐3,3’‐diphenyl‐2,2’‐binaphthyl‐1,1’‐diol, (R)‐3,3'′‐di‐9‐anthracenyl‐1,1'′‐bi‐2‐naphthol, (R)‐3,3'′‐di‐9‐phenanthrenyl‐1,1'′‐bi‐2‐naphthol,...
The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment represents a challenge of emerging concern. Many pharmaceuticals are chiral compounds; however, few studies have examined the relative toxicity of pharmaceutical enantiomers to wildlife. Further, our understanding of stereospecific pharmacokinetics remains largely informed by research on humans and a few well‐studied laboratory test animals, and...
The existence of enantiomer‐enriched mixtures of chiral pesticides in the environment is overwhelmingly positive. However, interactions between enantiomers have not been considered so far in risk assessments. Here, we chose three organophosphorus pesticides as representative chiral pesticides to investigate the possible interaction mode between each pair of enantiomers both in in vivo and in vitro...
The preparative‐scale separation of chiral compounds is vitally important for the pharmaceutical industry and related fields. Herein we report a simple approach for rapid preparative separation of enantiomers using functional nucleic acids modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The separation of DL‐tryptophan (DL‐Trp) is demonstrated as an example to show the feasibility of the approach. AuNPs modified...
A stereochemically safe high‐yielding procedure for linking unprotected as well as protected hydroxycarboxylic acids to chiral secondary alcohols via glycolic acid linker is proposed. L‐menthol has been linked with both enantiomers of mandelic, malic, and methoxyphenylacetic acid using bromo‐ or iodoacetyl group as a precursor of the glycolic acid linker. High‐field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)...
A series of shikonin derivatives, selectively acylated by various fluorinated carboxylic acids at the side chain of shikonin, were synthesized and their anticancer activity evaluated, in which eight compounds are reported for the first time. Among all the compounds tested, compound S7 showed the most potent anticancer activity against B16‐F10 (malignant melanoma cells), MG63 (human osteosarcoma cells),...
In this study we describe the evaluation of a recently developed supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) instrument for automated chiral SFC method development. The greatly improved gradient dwell volume and liquid flow control of the new instrument in combination with the use of shorter columns containing smaller stationary phase particles affords chiral SFC method development that is faster and...
Small molecule organic catalysts (organocatalysts) are widely used in asymmetric catalysis and synthesis. Compared to their enzymatic and transition‐metal counterparts, organocatalysts have advantages in catalytic scope and efficiency but are more limited in proficiency. Chiral trifunctional organocatalysts, in which multiple catalytic motifs act cooperatively on a chiral scaffold, are an emerging...
The reliability of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to discriminate four diastereomeric cedranol acetates 1, 2, 3, 4 by means of their absolute configuration is examined. The usage of CompareVOA software to quantify comparisons of the measured infrared (IR) and VCD spectra with the corresponding simulated spectra at the B3LYP/DGDZVP and B3PW91/DGDZVP levels of theory for each diastereomer...
The pharmacokinetics of diniconazole enantiomers in quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were investigated by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS). Quails were exposed to racemic diniconazole in capsule by oral at dose of 10 mg/kg (body weight). The maximal concentrations observed in blood, heart, liver, and kidney were 3.18, 11.35, 12.32, 15.03 µg/g for S‐diniconazole, and 1.13,...
