It was found that MPTMS preferentially deposits within the smaller pores of PDVB particles during the sol–gel process, leading to an increased average pore size and a narrower pore size distribution. The swelling resistance of the particles increased in proportion to the amount of MPTMS that was loaded. The measured swelling propensity (SP) value for PDVB-5SH-QN in methanol and acetonitrile are 0.097 and 0.226, respectively, which are considerably lower than the values of 0.759 and 1.142 obtained for polydivinylbenzene microspheres. The performance of the chiral column was evaluated using a sample set containing 20 FMOC-amino acids. The results indicated that the modification of organosilane led to enhancements in column efficiency. The mass transfer resistance coefficient in the Van Deemter equation for PDVB-5SH-QN (<i>C</i> = 1.86 µs; standard error = 0.11) is comparable to that for SiO<sub>2</sub>-QN (<i>C</i> = 2.74 µs; standard error = 0.13).

Many of these compounds exhibit molecular chirality due to the presence of one or more stereogenic centers in their structures. Given the pharmacological and toxicological relevance of chiral molecules, regulatory authorities are expected to demand more stringent analytical characterization of the enantiomeric composition of phytocannabinoids in <i>C. sativa</i> L. extracts. The growing availability and enhanced performance of advanced analytical technologies, particularly chiral chromatographic systems, have renewed interest in the stereochemical profiling of these natural products. Chiral separation techniques have become central to research efforts aimed at determining enantiomeric purity and understanding stereoisomeric distributions in complex plant matrices. Among the limited studies addressing chiral chromatographic methods for separating phytocannabinoid enantiomers and diastereomers, two techniques are predominant: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Method development in both approaches typically relies on two major classes of chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The first comprises Pirkle-type CSPs, which utilize the “Inverted Chirality Columns Approach” (ICCA) and are based on rational design principles for enantioselective interactions. The second group includes polysaccharide-based CSPs employing cellulose or amylose derivatives, recognized for their broad applicability in resolving diverse phytocannabinoid enantiomers. This work will review a selection of recent, representative studies, highlighting key analytical strategies for chiral separation, methodological challenges, and implications for both scientific research and regulatory frameworks.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17098,"journal":{"name":"Journal of separation science","volume":"48 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144773924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
