Necessity for Chiral Separation
The tragic case of the racemic drug of n-
phthalyl-glutamic acid imide that was
marketed in the 1960s as the sedative
Thalidomide. Its therapeutic activity
resided exclusively in the R-enantiomer. It
was discovered only after several hundred
births of malformed infants that the S-
enantiomer was teratogenic.

Molecular Imprinting for Chiral Separation
Klaus Mosbach
Klaus Mosbach is Pioneer in the Molecular
imprinting. He introduced the new technique
Called Non covalent molecular imprinting, the
separation of enzyme is found to be a big
hassle . To solve this problem , hesuccessfully developed a new technique
today known as affinity chromatography
and bimolecular recognition . The same
technique for small molecules is now referred
as molecular imprinting.

Molecular Imprinting - Principle
The template is choosed based upon the molecule to be analyzed. The functional monomer are choosed based upon the template properties.
The functional monomers are copolymerized with cross linkers to yield a highly
cross linked and rigid polymer.
The imprint molecules are subsequently removed from the polymer, leaving
recognition sites complementary to the imprint species in shape and in the
positioning of the functional groups. The recognition of the polymer constitutes an induced molecular memory,
which makes the recognition sites capable of selectively recognizing the imprint
species.

A simple and reliable method for the preparation of an Open tubular moleculeimprinted polymer (MIP) in a Silica capillary format is presented.
A non-covalent molecular imprinting polymerization protocol was used to synthesize
the MIP where (S)-ketoprofen template molecule was incorporated in the
copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate
(EDMA).
Nitrogen was purged to open the lumen of capillary and to obtain the thin film of
polymer.
MIP showed the high chiral selectivity towards R,S- ketoprofen in the -liquid
chromatography (-LC) as well as in Capillary electro chromatography (CEC).
Baseline separation of R,S- ketoprofen was achieved with the resolution and
selectivity of 4.7 and 1.6, respectively.

Unique open tubular (S)-ketoprofen MIP layer inside the capillary wall.
The mobile phase composed of 30% acetonitrile and 70% acetate buffer of pH 4.3
was found to be the optimum.
Inlet pressure of 5 mbar provided the best resolution and higher number oftheoretical plates/meter ( > 31,000 for R-isomer and >10,000 for S-isomer).
Small dimension of capillary and three step procedure of MIP formation enabled a
versatile nature.
