Chiral resolution of diastereomeric di- and tripeptides on a teicoplanin aglycone phase by capillary electrochromatography

Electrophoresis. 2003 Aug;24(15):2543-9. doi: 10.1002/elps.200305482.

Abstract

The chiral separation ability of a capillary packed with teicoplanin aglycone as a chiral stationary phase was investigated. This stationary phase was used successfully for chiral resolution of both diastereomeric dipeptides and tripeptides possessing one or two chiral centers. The composition of the mobile phase was shown to be crucial for separation. The use of reversed-phase mode was clearly superior to the polar-organic mode. The nature of the organic modifier was found to have a marked influence on separation. After optimizing conditions, all diasteromeric dipeptides and tripeptides investigated were baseline-resolved, however, it was not possible to find a uniform mobile phase showing optimal results for all peptides investigated.
