High-performance liquid chromatographic evaluation of strong cation exchanger-based chiral stationary phases focusing on stationary phase characteristics and mobile phase effects employing enantiomers of tetrahydro-ß-carboline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline analogs

In this study, we present results obtained on the enantioseparation of some cationic compounds of pharmaceutical relevance, namely tetrahydro-ß-carboline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline analogs. In highperformance liquid chromatography, chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on strong cation exchanger were employed using mixtures of methanol and acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran as mobile phase systems with organic salt additives.
