ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the separation of chiral compounds and a unique polymer film or powder and process using these materials to perform this separation. In particular, the invention relates to separation of enantiomers of pharmaceutical compounds or amino acids.
Enantioseparations are becoming increasingly important because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has declared that if a drug is chiral, the biological effects of both enantiomers must be determined; Stinson, S. C. “Chiral Drugs”,

259(15): 9549-9556. Most of these unnatural amino acids are unavailable through fermentation. Resolution is an effective means of producing optically pure unnatural amino acids. Traditionally, racemate amino acids can be resolved by entrainment with enzymes or bacteria, or by using chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography (LC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods are limited by the economic costs as well as the difficulty of scale up to commercially viable processes. Liquid membranes have also been reported in the literature to be used for enantioseparations of racemate amino acids but so far have shown poor separating abilities.
Additionally, certain pharmaceutical compounds are known to provide effective treatment against disease states or to ameliorate medical conditions. These compounds often occur as a chiral mixture where one enantiomeric form is more effective for its intended purpose than other enantiomeric forms of the same compounds. In fact, certain enantiomeric forms may act to counteract the beneficial effects of other enantiomeric forms. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to be able to separate out and collect the most effective forms of enantiomeric compounds.
There presently are no readily universal techniques or materials which are available for the general separation of chiral compounds. As indicated above, there is a need for a process and materials which will allow a broad range of different chiral materials to be consistently separated in an economical, quantitative and high purity manner.
SUMMARY
It has been found that a membrane can be formed from polyaniline doped with a chiral acid and then extracted with a suitable base. This leaves behind a polymeric film which preferentially traps, and then selectively releases, one enantiomer of a chiral mixture brought in contact with the film surface. In particular, when polyaniline is doped with either R- or S-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) it takes on a chiral structure. Removing the chiral acid dopant leads to a new form of chiral polyaniline. These chiral dedoped polyanilines have the ability to discriminate among enantiomers of various compounds such as DL-dopa, DL-amphetamine sulfate, or amino acids, for example, DL-phenylalanine.
