Abstract: Molecularly imprinted monolithic columns were prepared for chiral separation of tyrosine and its amino acid derivatives by in situ therm-initiated copolymerization of methacrylic acid, 4-vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The enantiomers were rapidly separated on monolithic columns in less than 10ámin by pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC). The influences of several parameters such as the content of cross-linking monomer on the composition of the pre-polymerization mixture were systematically investigated. The influence of the pCEC conditions including the composition of the mobile phase was also optimized to obtain the good enantioseparation. It was found that in addition to molecularly imprinted recognition, chromatographic retention and electrophoretic migration play important roles in the retention and chiral recognition of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) columns. The cross-selectivity for similar amino acids and its derivatives were systematical investigated for understanding the recognition mechanism on the MIP monolithic columns. The results indicated that molecularly imprinted polymer recognizes the template molecule by its molecular shape defined binding cavity
