Stereoselective binding of 2-(4-biphenylyl)-3-substituted-3-hydroxypropionic acids on an immobilised human serum albumin chiral stationary phase.
A series of 2-(4-biphenylyl)-3,3'-hydroxy-substituted phenyl propionic acid, with anti-inflammatory properties, bearing two chiral centres, were studied by HPLC upon HSA-CSP (human serum albumin-based chiral stationary phase). The compounds were analysed in their stereoisomeric erythro and threo forms. The study involved the enantioselective analysis on HSA-CSP, the determination of the racemate lipophilicity (log k'(w)), a QSRR (quantitative structure-retention relationship) analysis and CD study for the assessment of the absolute configuration of the most retained enantiomer. Lipophilicity was found to be an important factor affecting the affinity of the compounds for the HSA stationary phase, but electronic properties seemed to play a role. The position of the substituent of the phenyl group on carbon 3 was found important to modulate stereoselective interaction, the highest value of enantioselectivities being found for the erythro ortho-substituted phenyl derivatives. The previously proposed two steps mechanism of enantiodiscrimination for cyclohexylphenyl substituted derivatives was confirmed for this series of derivatives bearing the biphenylyl moiety.
