HPLC Chiral Separation of Trimipramine Enantiomers on Cyralis CM Column
August 11, 2026
HPLC Chiral Method for Analysis of Trimipramine, Trimipramine maleate Enantiomers on Cyralis CM Column by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Trimipramine, Trimipramine maleate.
Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) with the chemical formula C20H26N2. It is used primarily used to treat depression, but it has also been used to treat insomnia, anxiety disorders, and psychosis due to it’s sedative, anxiolytic, and antipsychotic effects. Unlike other TCAs, it is a weaker monoamine reuptake inhibitor. You can find detailed UV spectra of Trimipramine, Trimipramine maleate and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
This application describes a normal-phase chiral HPLC method for the separation of Trimipramine, Trimipramine maleate enantiomers using SIELC’s Cyralis CM chiral column. Cyralis CM is a cellulose-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) designed for enantiomeric separations, optical purity testing, chiral impurity analysis, and stereoisomer characterization in pharmaceutical, chemical, agrochemical, and fine chemical applications. For best results, the sample should be prepared fresh for analysis.
Trimipramine, Trimipramine maleate can be retained and analyzed using the Cyralis CM stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a mobile phase consisting of sodium perchlorate and acetonitrile. Detection is performed using UV.

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.
HPLC Method for Analysis of Trimipramine
May 6, 2016

Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant with antihistamine and sedative properties. It acts by decreasing the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin (5-HT), which is why it is used as treatment of major depressive disorder. Primesep 200, a reverse phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Trimipramine. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.
Application Column
Primesep 200
The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
