“…In the second indirect approach, derivatization was carried out with an enantiomerically pure reagent leading to the formation of diastereomers, which then were separated either on an achiral octa decyl silica column (Foster and Jamali, 1987;Bjorkman, 1987;Palylk and Jamali, 1991;Iwakawa et al, 1991;Wright and Jamali, 1993;Pehourcq et al, 1995;Landoni and Lees, 1995;Sallusito et al, 1986;Panus et al, 1998;Lagrange et al, 2001) or by using normal silica column (Hayball et al, 1991). There have been reports where enantiomers of the underivatized ketoprofen have also been separated using the proteinbased column (Soglowek et al, 1990;Oda et al, 1991), (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-phenylglycine based silica (Yagi et al, 1990;Oi et al, 1995;Boisvert et al, 1997), cellulose-based stationary phase (Mauleon et al, 1994;Carr et al, 1995;Overbeke et al, 1995;Lovlin et al, 1996;Tang, 1996;Jamali et al, 1997;Hoke et al, 2000), chiral stationary phase (CSP) consisting of benzamido group attached to silica (Grubb et al, 1996;Al-Katheeri et al, 2000) or glycopeptide-type CSP and micra non-porus octadecyl silica column (Ameyibor and Stewart, 1998).…”
