摘要: Enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography (eHPLC) using chiral
stationary phases (CSPs) is surely the most used technique for the determination of the enantiomeric
excess (e.e.) of chiral drugs, a fundamental parameter for reliable studies on the relationship
between stereochemistry and pharmacological activity. A key aspect of this enantioseparation
technique is the efficiency of the chiral selector, which can be optimized to obtain
higher selectivity and a wider applicability. Thus, the determination of the mechanisms behind
chiral recognition is very important to predict and improve the enantioselectivity of CSPs. The
present review deals with the preparation and use of CSPs for eHPLC with human serum albumin
(HSA) as chiral selector, with particular emphasis on the modulation of the chromatographic
performance. HSA-based CSPs allow a relatively easy prediction of the binding sites
involved in the retention of analytes and the possibility to improve the selectivity of enantioresolution
by modulating the binding process, using either reversible or covalent modifications
of the protein. Significant improvements of the chromatographic parameters, such as reduction
of analysis time and increase of enantioselectivity, have been obtained for selected
analytes by using competitors for a particular binding site of HSA dissolved in the mobile
phase or by selectively modifying the protein structure at single amino acid residues.
