Despite the fact that high-performance liquid chromatography is the predominant technique for analytical and preparative enantioseparations, chiral thin-layer chromatography (TLC) may represent an alternative, especially if fast analysis with simple equipment is required. This chapter describes several approaches in chiral TLC for the separation of amino acids and basic drugs using DL-selenomethionine and β-adrenergic drugs as examples. Analytical approaches include the impregnation of the adsorbent with a chiral selector using pre-coated as well as custom-prepared TLC plates and addition of the selector to the mobile phase directly as well as in the form of copper metal complex. (-)-Quinine and L-amino acids were used as chiral selectors in different manners for enantioseparations.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008024	Ligands	A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed)	Ligand
D011803	Quinine	An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug, and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose. It was used commonly and as a bitter and flavoring agent, and is still useful for the treatment of babesiosis. Quinine is also useful in some muscular disorders, especially nocturnal leg cramps and myotonia congenita, because of its direct effects on muscle membrane and sodium channels. The mechanisms of its antimalarial effects are not well understood.

D002855	Chromatography, Thin Layer	Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.
