An efficiency of Monte Carlo (MC) docking simulations was examined for the prediction of chiral discrimination by cyclodextrins. Docking simulations were performed with various computational parameters for the chiral discrimination of a series of 17 enantiomers by $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) or by 6-amino-6-deoxy-$\beta$-cyclodextrin (am-$\beta$-CD). A total of 30 sets of enantiomeric complexes were tested to find the optimal simulation parameters for accurate predictions. Rigid-body MC docking simulations gave more accurate predictions than flexible docking simulations. The accuracy was also affected by both the simulation temperature and the kind of force field. The prediction rate of chiral preference was improved by as much as 76.7% when rigid-body MC docking simulations were performed at low-temperatures (100 K) with a sugar22 parameter set in the CHARMM force field. Our approach for MC docking simulations suggested that the conformational rigidity of both the host and guest molecule, due to either the low-temperature or rigid-body docking condition, contributed greatly to the prediction of chiral discrimination.

Because of the differences between biological and pharmacological properties of chiral drugs in human body, accurate determinations of their optical purities have been in great need. There are two major approaches in chiral separation: indirect method performed under achiral condition, and direct method under the chiral environment. We have been conducting chiral separation of acidic chiral compounds and also amino acidic chiral compounds employing indirect GC methods and direct CE enantiomeric separation methods. (omitted)

Molecular modeling was performed to comprehend the chiral recognition of ${\alpha}$-methoxy-${\alpha}$-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) enantiomers by cyclomaltoheptaose (${\beta}$-cyclodextrin,${\beta}$-CD) and 6-amino-6-deoxy-cyclomaltoheptaose (am-${\beta}$-CD). Monte Carlo (MC) docking coupled to constant temperature molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was applied to the investigation for the ${\alpha}$-methoxy-${\alpha}$-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid complexation with two different CDs in terms of the relative distribution of the interaction energies. The calculated results are finely correlated with the experimental observations in chiral recognition thermodynamics. Am-${\beta}$-CD as a host showed the superior enantio-discrimination ability to the native ${\beta}$-CD where the amino group of am-${\beta}$-CD was critically involved in enhancing the ability of chiral discrimination via the Coulombic interaction with MTPA.

The chiral stationary phase derived from (＋) (18-crown-6)-2.3, 11.12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6- TA) as a chiral selector has been employed for resolution of several $\alpha$-amino acids in HPLC. In a quest for the origin of chiral recognition of $\alpha$-amino acids in the presence of 18-C-6- T, A, as a chiral selector, these interactions responsible for the differential affinities shown toward enantioners were investigated by NNR spectroscopy.

The chiral separation of multiple ${\beta}$-blockers is described for their accurate chiral discrimination by chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE). The cyc1odextrin-modified CE system was operated in the reversed polarity mode. In this mode, fairly good enantiomeric resolutions were achieved. Relative migration times to internal standard under optimum conditions were characteristic of each enantiomer with good precision. Therefore, in this study, the usefulness for the chiral separation and accurate identification will be discussed.

Simultaneous enantioseparation of nine racemic non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for their accurate chiral discrimination was achieved by cyclodextrin (CO) modified capillary electrophoresis in the normal polarity (NP) mode and in the reversed polarity (RP) mode. The NP mode employed neutral tri-O-methyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (TM${\beta}$CD) as a selector dissolved in MES buffer (PH 6.0). (omitted)

Chiral discrimination of ibuprofen by $^1$H-NMR using several chiral solvating agents such as (-)-brucine, (-)-cinchonidine, (1R, 2S)-(-)-ephedrine, (S)-(-)-${\alpha}$- methylbenzylamine, (-)-strychnine and L-(-)-tryptophane was investigated. Racemic ibuprofen treated with one equivalent of chiral solvating agent was preferentially crystallized. Chiral purity of each precipitates was measured by chiral HPLC and chemical shift differences(ΔΔ$\delta$) was calculated. Eventhough (S)-(-)-${\alpha}$-methylbenzylamine was most effective for the preferential recrystalization of (S)-(+)-ibuprofen, chemical shift differentiation ability was weak. (omitted)
