A glycopeptide antibiotic, teicoplanin, was used as chiral stationary phase for the high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of enantiomers of more than 30 unnatural amino acids, such as phenylalanine and tyrosine analogues and analogues containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, tetraline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-carboline, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or heptene skeletons. Excellent resolutions were achieved for most of the investigated compounds by using a hydro-organic mobile-phase system. The effects of organic modifier content, temperature and flow-rate on the resolution were investigated and the conditions of separation were optimized.
