ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/0021-9673(93)83007-F | Abstract: | The continuous chromatographic separation of a racemic anthelmintic drug, praziquantel, was carried out using a simulated counter-current system. The system consists of four identical columns (445 mm x 12.5 mm I.D.) connected in series through solenoid valves. The chiral stationary phase used is microcrystalline cellulose triacetate and the eluent is methanol. Feed at 50 mg/ml was continuously introduced into the system at 0.3 ml/min and 429 mg/h of (+)-praziquantel and 404 mg/h of (-)-praziquantel were obtained from the extract and raffinate streams, respectively. The optical purity of the products was more than 90%. This method provides an extremely useful technique for preparative-scale enantioseparation. Compared with conventional batch preparative-scale processes, this system offers a higher solute to adsorbent mass ratio. | Source Title: | Journal of Chromatography | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/52714 | ISSN: | 00219673 | DOI: | 10.1016/0021-9673(93)83007-F |
