The separation of enantiomers of five chiral dihydropyridine derivatives was studied on five different polysaccharide-based chiral HPLC columns with various normal-phase (NP), polar organic, and reversed-phase eluents. Along with the successful separation of analyte enantiomers, the emphasis of this study was on enantiomer elution order (EEO) with various columns and mobile phase composition. The interesting phenomenon of reversal of EEO, recently reported in the case of amlodipine (AML) depending on the concentration of formic acid in acetonitrile, was also confirmed with NP eluents. Under RP conditions at relatively low water content, the EEO of AML could also be reverted by varying the concentration of formic acid in the mobile phase. However, at higher water content the same parameter did not affect the EEO, but only induced gradual decrease in resolution up to complete co-elution of enantiomers. Additionally, in organic-aqueous mobile phases retention factors decreased with increasing water content but only up to 20% (v/v), while above this concentration the expected typical RP behavior was observed. The presence of the commonly used additive diethylamine in the mobile phase seems important for observing a reversal in EEO with increasing concentration of formic acid. The reversal of the EEO was characteristic of AML only and was not observed for any of other dihydropyridines included in this study.
