In terms of chiral issue, two enantiomers of chiral drugs often differ significantly in their pharmacological, toxicological and pharmacokinetic profile. Chiral switches of racemic drugs have been redeveloped as single enantiomers. Several chiral resolution techniques in chirotechnology are introduced and the most used chiral HPLC chromatographic method among several chiral analysis techniques is described with its several advantages. Several types of chiral HPLC columns derived from their chiral selectors are discussed with their property and applications for enantiomer separation.

A coupled achiral-chiral high-performance liquid chromatographic system has been developed for the determination of the enantiomers of salmeterol, S-(+)-salmeterol and R-(-)-salmeterol in urine. THe salmeterol was separated from the interfering components in urine and quantified on the silica column, and the enantiomeric composition was determined on a Sumichiral OA-4700 chiral stationary phase. The two columns were connected by a switching valve equipped with a silica precolumn. The two columns wer connected by a switching valve equipped with a silica precolumn. The precolumn was used to concentrate the salmeterol in the eluent from the achiral column before backflushing onto the chiral phase. The coupled system was validated.

Achiral-chiral column switching HPLC assay was developed to allow the separation and quantification of the enantiomers of terbutaline in human plasma by means of fluorescence detection. Plasma samples were prepared by solid-phase extraction with sep-pak silica, followed by HPLC assay. The enantiomers of terbutaline and the internal standard were separated from the biological matrix on a silica column, and the two enantiomers were resolved and quantified on a Sumichiral OA-4900 column. The two columns were connected by a switching valve equipped with silica trap column, The trap column was used to concentrate the terbutaline in the eluent from the achiral column before back flushing onto the chiral phase. For each enantiomers, the assay was linear between 2.5-125 ng/$m\ell$ (r=0.9999) and detection limit was 1.0 ng/$m\ell$ .

Detectable levels of several free D-amino acids were found in some food. This was accomplished by using a column switching method. The determination of total amount of D- and L-amino acids was based on an achiral separation with a $C_{18}$ column. The level of D-amino acids to L-amino acids was determined by the column switching system including the postcolumn reaction detection of the amino acids derivatized with O-phthalaldehyde. The chiral separation of the postcolumn detection system was carried out with chiral crown ether column. This system was applied for the micro-determination of D-amino acids in food such as soy sauce, fermented soy bean and beans. It turned out that the sampling process is critical for the trace analysis of D-amino acids under this achiral / chiral coupled-column system. It was found that commercial soy sauce contained 42ppm, conventional soy sauce 102ppm, fermented soy bean 8.34mg per 1g and bean 2.87mg per 1g sample for phenylalanine. D-phenylalanine was found 0.67% in commercial soy sauce, 0.34% in conventional soy sauce, less than 1.81% in fermented soy bean, and Jess than 2.82% in bean.

(1'R, 2R)-, (1'R, 2S)-, (1'S, 2R)- and (1'S, 2S)-$\alpha$-hydroxymetoprolol; (2R)- and (2S)-O-des-methylmetoprolol; and (2R)- and (2S)-metoprolol acid are major metabolites of (2R)-and (2S)-metoprolol, $\beta$-adrenergic antagonist. The focus of most chiral separation methods until now has been on determination of the enantiomeric parent drug. However, it is just as important to be able to follow the metabolism of the enantiomers and their possible chiral metabolites. Therefore, for the study of stereoselective metabolism and pharmacokinetics of metoprolol, the chiral separation of the enantiomers of metoprolol and its metabolites has been investigated using four chiral stationary phases, i.e., Chiralcel OD, Chiral-AGP, Cyclobond I and Sumichiral OA-4900 columns. Metoprolol acid was resolved only by Sumichiral OA-4900. Chiralcel OD provided the highest separation factor and resolution value for metoprolol and O-desmethylmetoprolol and partially resolved the four stereoisomers of $\alpha$-hydroxymetoprolol. Diastereomeric $\alpha$-hydroxymetoprolols were resolved using the coupled column chromatographic system of two chiral stationary phases, Sumichiral OA-4900 column and Chiralcel OD column.

Free amino acids were isolated from milk and their absolute amounts were determined by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography after derivatization with dansyl chloride. The determination of D- and L-amino acids was based on achiral separation on a C18 column. It was found that milk contained totally 41.00 mg DL-amino acids in 100 mL milk. The level of D-amino acids to L-amino acids was determined by a column-switching system combining an achiral reversed phase separation and chiral chelate additive. The chiral separation was carried out with addition of the chiral Cu(N-benzyl-L-proline)2 chelate to the mobile phase in reversed phase liquid chromatography. It was found that the determination of 16 different amino acids is feasible in the milk sample with a C18 column separation and 12 D-amino acids out of the 16 amino acids can be determined via the column-switching system with chiral separation. 2.05% of D-glutamic acid and 2.93% of D-alanine were found in milk.

Optical purities of 10 commercialized naproxens prepared from eight Korean drug companies were examined by an optimized chiral HPLC condition. The Chiralcel OD-H column and ChiralHyun-LE(S)-1 column were used as chiral stationary phases and the mixed eluent of hexane/isopropanol/acetic acid as 100:2.85:0.1 was used as a mobile phase for effective enantioseparation. Optical purity values of most samples were higher than 97 percents, only one of them was about 95 percents. The average relative standard deviation of them appeared very small (0.034%).

Crown ether-based HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been successfully utilized in the resolution of various racemic compounds containing a primary amino group. Especially, CSPs based on chiral crown ethers incorporating chiral binaphthyl unit or tartaric acid unit and based on phenolic pseudo chiral crown ethers have shown high chiral recognition efficiency. In this account paper, a review on the development of crown etherbased HPLC CSPs, their structural characteristics and applications to the resolution of racemic compounds including chiral drugs containing a primary or secondary amino group with the variation of the type and the content of mobile phase components and with the variation of the column temperature is presented.

Enantiomer separation of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) $\alpha$-amino acid was performed on covalently immobilized chiral column (Chiralpak IB) based on polysaccharide derivative as a chiral selector by reversed phase liquid chromatography. The effect of the reversed mobile phase on the chromatographic parameters of the enantioselectivities, resolution factors and retention times using covalently immobilized Chiralpak IB was shown. Also the enantiomer separation of N-FMOC $\alpha$-amino acid in the reversed and normal phase was compared and the results obtained in the former mobile phase were generally lower than those in the latter mobile phase.

ChiroSil RCA(+) and SCA(-) HPLC chiral stationary phases (CSPs) developed by covalently bonding (+)- and (-)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-T A) to silica gel were employed for enantioresolution of racemic amino compounds, respectively. Also, these 18-C-6-TA covalently bonded CSPs were compared to a commercially available Crownpak CR CSP prepared by coating chiral crown ether as a chiral selector on ODS column. (omitted)
