Stereoselective binding of 2,3-substituted 3-hydroxypropionic acids on an immobilised human serum albumin chiral stationary phase: stereochemical characterisation and quantitative structure-retention relationship study.

The binding characteristics of a series of 2,3-substituted 3-hydroxypropionic acids, with anti-inflammatory properties, bearing two chiral centres, were studied by HPLC upon HSA (human serum albumin)-based stationary phase. The compounds were analysed in their stereoisomeric erythro and threo forms and the chromatographic conditions for enantioseparation of the erythro and threo forms were studied on human serum albumin stationary phase. The enantiomer elution order was determined by injection of the enriched samples or by carrying out the CD spectra of each enantiomeric fraction. The absolute configuration of the single enantiomers was assigned on the basis of their CD spectra. A QSRR study was performed by subjecting the chromatographic data of the compounds to multiparameter regression analysis against various molecular descriptors to have insight into the chiral recognition mechanism. The lipophilicity appeared to be the most important parameter in determining the affinity to the protein, the compounds' capacity factors being linearly correlated to the experimental RP-HPLC partition coefficients (log k'w). The enantioselectivity factors (alpha) related to the enantiomers of the erythro and threo forms were studied taking into consideration both the physico-chemical parameters and the conformational behaviour of the compounds.
