Chiral high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and circular dichroism spectra of the enantiomers of cytotoxic aristocularine alkaloids

The HPLC enantiomeric separation of the racemic cularinoid alkaloids N- p-methoxy-1,α-dihydroaristoyagonine ( 1) and 4′,5′-demethoxy-1,α-dihydroaristoyagonine ( 2) was accomplished using five chiral stationary phases (CSPs), some of them polysaccharide-derived ones. The molecular size and conjugativ...

Description
Summary:The HPLC enantiomeric separation of the racemic cularinoid alkaloids N- p-methoxy-1,α-dihydroaristoyagonine ( 1) and 4′,5′-demethoxy-1,α-dihydroaristoyagonine ( 2) was accomplished using five chiral stationary phases (CSPs), some of them polysaccharide-derived ones. The molecular size and conjugative effect strongly affect the different enantioselectivity of the compounds 1 and 2 on the various CSPs investigated. Single enantiomers of 1 were isolated by repeated injections on an analytical HPLC column, and their circular dichroism spectra and optical rotations were measured. The cytotoxicity of the isolated enantiomers was measured on a human colon carcinoma cell line and compared with that of the racemic compound.
