Enantiomeric LC separation of calcium antagonists on protein‐based chiral stationary phases

Abstract
Three chiral calcium antagonist drugs, bepridil and two dihydropyridine derivatives (nicardipine and REC 15/2375), have been successfully separated within short retention times using either the α1‐acid glycoprotein chiral stationary phase (Chiral AGP) or the ovomucoid column (Ultron ES‐OVM). Aqueous buffer at defined pH is modified by the addition of an organic component (propan‐2‐ol, acetonitrile, ethanol) in order to modulate the retention properties of each system. The influence of pH and percentage of organic modifier on retention, selectivity, resolution, and column performance are discussed for bepridil analyzed on Chiral AGP and for the two dihydropyridines (nicardipine and REC 15/2375) analyzed on Ultron ES‐OVM stationary phases.
