Comparison of performance of Chirobiotic T, T2 and TAG columns in the separation of beta2- and beta3-homoamino acids

The enantiomers of eight unusual beta(2)- and beta(3)-homoamino acids were separated on chiral stationary phases containing the macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T or T2) or teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG) as chiral selectors. The effects of the organic modifier, the mobile phase composition, and temperature on the separations were investigated. Linear van't Hoff plots were observed in the studied temperature range, 280-318 K, and the changes in enthalpy, Delta(DeltaH(o)), entropy, Delta(DeltaS(o)), and free energy, Delta(DeltaG(o)) were calculated. The values of the thermodynamic parameters depended on the nature of the selectors, the structures of the analytes, and especially the positions of the substituents on the analytes. A comparison of the separation performances of the macrocyclic glycopeptide stationary phases revealed that the Chirobiotic TAG column exhibited much better selectivity for beta(2)-homoamino acids, while the separation of beta(3)-homoamino acid enantiomers was better on Chirobiotic T or T2. The elution sequence was determined in some cases and was observed to be R < S.     

Comparison of Separation Efficiency of Macrocyclic Glycopeptide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases for the LC Enantioseparation of β-Amino Acids

Direct reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of enantiomers of eighteen unnatural β-amino acids, including several β-3-homo-amino acids. The direct separations of the underivatized analytes were performed on chiral stationary phases containing macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics such as teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T and T2), teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG), vancomycin (Chirobiotic V and V2), and ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R) as chiral selectors. The effects of the organic modifier, mobile phase composition and pH on the separations were investigated. A comparison of the separation performances of the macrocyclic glycopeptide stationary phases revealed that the Chirobiotic T2 column exhibited better selectivity than the Chirobiotic T column for the separation of β-3-homo-amino acid enantiomers; vancomycin or ristocetin A exhibited lower selectivity. The elution sequence was determined in some cases: the S enantiomers eluted before the R enantiomers, with the exception of the Chirobiotic R column, where the elution sequence R < S was observed.     

Comparison of the separation efficiencies of chirobiotic T and TAG columns in the separation of unusual amino acids

Two macrocyclic antibiotic type chiral stationary phases (CSPs), based on native teicoplanin and teicoplanin aglycone, Chirobiotic T and Chirobiotic TAG, respectively, were evaluated for the high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers of 15 unnatural conformationally constrained alpha-amino acids, Phe and Tyr analogs, and 12 beta-amino acids having cycloalkane or cycloalkene skeletons. The chromatographic results are given as the retention, separation and resolution factors along with the enantioselective free energy difference corresponding to the separation of the enantiomers. It is clearly established that in most cases the aglycone is responsible for the enantioseparation of amino acids. The difference in enantioselective free energy between the aglycone CSP and the teicoplanin CSP was between 0.02 and 0.30 kcal mol(-1) for these particular amino acids. The resolution factors are higher with the aglycone CSP. Although the sugar units generally decrease the resolution of amino acid enantiomers, they can contribute significantly to the resolution of some unusual amino acid analogs. By application of these two CSPs excellent resolutions were achieved for most of the investigated compounds by using reversed phase or polar organic mobile mode systems. The separation conditions were optimized by variation of the mobile phase composition.     

Direct high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of unusual secondary amino acids and a comparison of the performances of Chirobiotic T and TAG columns

Two macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on native teicoplanin and teicoplanin aglycone, Chirobiotic T and TAG, respectively, were evaluated with regard to the high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of 10 secondary alpha-amino acids (imino acids). The chromatographic results are given as the retention, separation and resolution factors, together with the enantioselective free energy difference corresponding to the separation of the enantiomers. By application of these two CSPs, excellent resolutions were achieved for the investigated compounds by using reversed-phase mobile mode systems. The separation conditions were optimized by variation of the mobile phase composition. The difference in enantioselective free energy between the aglycone CSP and the teicoplanin CSP for these particular amino acids ranged between 0.70 and -1.83 kJ mol(-1). It was established that better enantioseparations of the secondary alpha-amino acids were attained in most cases on the aglycone CSP.     

Direct and indirect high-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of beta-amino acids

Direct and indirect reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of enantiomers of 18 unnatural beta-amino acids, including several beta-3-homo amino acids. The direct separations of the underivatized analytes were performed on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) containing macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T column) and teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG column). The indirect method involved pre-column derivatization with a new chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), (S)-N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenylalanine methoxyethyl ester ((S)-NIFE), and subsequent separation of diastereomers on Discovery C18 and Hyperpep 300 C18 columns. The different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of organic modifier, mobile phase composition, pH and flow rate on the separation were investigated.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of monoterpene-based 2-amino carboxylic acids on macrocyclic glycopeptide-based phases

The enantiomers of five monoterpene-based 2-amino carboxylic acids were directly separated on chiral stationary phases containing macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotics such as teicoplanin (Astec Chirobiotic T and T2) and teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG) as chiral selectors. The effects of pH, the mobile phase composition, the structure of the analyte and temperature on the separations were investigated. Experiments were performed at constant mobile phase compositions in the temperature range 10–40 °C to study the effects of temperature and thermodynamic parameters on separations. Apparent thermodynamic parameters and T_iso values were calculated from plots of ln k or ln α versus 1/T. Some mechanistic aspects of the chiral recognition process are discussed with respect to the structures of the analytes. It was found that the enantioseparations were in most cases enthalpy driven. The sequence of elution of the enantiomers was determined in all cases.     

LC Enantioseparation of β-Lactam and β-Amino Acid Stereoisomers and a Comparison of Macrocyclic Glycopeptide- and β-Cyclodextrin-Based Columns

Direct reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of tricyclic β-lactams, cis-3,4-benzo-6-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-7-one, cis-4,5-benzo-7-azabicyclo[4.2.0]-octan-8-one, cis-5,6-benzo-8-azabicyclo[5.2.0]nonan-9-one and new bicyclic β-amino acids, the six- and seven-membered homologues of cis-1-amino-4,5-benzocyclopentane-2-carboxylic acid (benzocispentacin), cis-1-amino-5,6-benzocyclohexane-2-carboxylic acid and cis-1-amino-6,7-benzocycloheptane-2-carboxylic acid. The direct separations of the analytes were performed on chiral stationary phase (CSP) columns containing the macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T), teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG), vancomycin (Chirobiotic V), vancomycin aglycone (Chirobiotic VAG), ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R) or a new dimethylphenyl carbamate-derivatized β-cyclodextrin-based Cyclobond DMP. The results achieved with the different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of an organic modifier and of the mobile phase composition on the separation and the separation efficiency of different columns were investigated. The difference in enantioselective free energy between the aglycone CSP and the teicoplanin CSP for these β-lactams and β-amino acids ranged between 0.3 and −1.1 kJmol⁻¹. Better enantioseparations were attained in most cases on the aglycone CSP.

     

Super/subcritical fluid chromatography chiral separations with macrocyclic glycopeptide stationary phases

The chiral recognition capabilities of three macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral selectors, namely teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T), its aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG) and ristocetin (Chirobiotic R), were evaluated with supercritical and subcritical fluid mobile phases. A set of 111 chiral compounds including heterocycles, analgesics (nonsteroidal antiinflamatory compounds), beta-blockers, sulfoxides, N-protected amino acids and native amino acids was separated on the three chiral stationary phases (CSPs). All separations were done with an outlet pressure regulated at 100 bar, 31 degrees C and at 4 ml/min. Various amounts of methanol ranging from 7 to 67% (v/v) were added to the carbon dioxide along with small amounts (0.1 to 0.5%, v/v) of triethylamine and/or trifluoroacetic acid. The Chirobiotic TAG CSP was the most effective closely followed by the Chirobiotic T column. Both columns were able to separate, partially or fully, 92% of the enantiomers of the compound set. The ristocetin chiral selector could partially or baseline resolve only 60% of the enantiomers tested. All separations were done in less than 15 min and 70% were done in less than 4 min. The speed of the separations is the main advantage of the use of SFC compared to normal-phase HPLC. In addition, SFC is advantageous for preparative separations with easy solute recovery and solvent disposal.     

Evaluation and comparison of a methylated teicoplanin aglycone to teicoplanin aglycone and natural teicoplanin chiral stationary phases

HPLC enantiomeric separations of a wide variety of racemic analytes was evaluated using chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on the macrocyclic glycopeptides teicoplanin (T), teicoplanin aglycone (TAG), and methylated teicoplanin aglycone (Me-TAG) in two different mobile phase modes, i.e., the RP mode and the polar organic (PO) mode. Comparison of the enantiomeric separations using Chirobiotic T, Chirobiotic TAG, and the methylated form of TAG were conducted in order to gain a better understanding of the roles of the polar functional groups on the CSP. Substantial effects due to the cleavage of saccharides and/or methylation on chiral separations were observed in both separation modes. Improved separation efficiencies for many acidic analytes were obtained by methylating the H-bonding groups of TAG. These groups were believed to be a contributing factor to band broadening on TAG due to their negative effect on mass transfer between the stationary phase and mobile phase. Ionic/dipolar interactions between the carboxylate group of the analytes and the amine groups on T, TAG, or Me-TAG are important for chiral discrimination. Therefore, analytes possessing a carboxyl group are good candidates for successful separations on these CSPs. Hydrophobic interactions are important for enantiomeric separations in the RP mode where the H-bonding interactions between analytes and the chiral selectors are relatively weak. Me-TAG offers higher hydrophobicity, which can accentuate the interactions of analytes with hydrophobic moieties, but these interactions are not necessarily stereoselective. In the PO mobile phase, electrostatic/dipolar interactions between polar functional groups are the dominating interactions in chiral recognition. Another important factor is steric fit, which could be changed with every modification of the T structure. Therefore, substantial changes of enantioseparations were obtained within this studied group of CSPs. The PO mode was shown to be the most powerful mobile phase mode for enantiomeric separations on T-based stationary phases, mainly due to the improved efficiency. Methylation of the TAG proved to be a very useful tool for investigating the chiral recognition mechanism for this group of chiral selectors.     

Separation of the enantiomers of substituted dihydrofurocoumarins by HPLC using macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases

Enantiomer separations by HPLC using the macrocyclic glycopeptides teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T), teicoplanin aglycon (Chirobiotic TAG), and ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R) chiral stationary phases (CSP) have been achieved on a unique series of potentially biologically active racemic analogues of dihydrofurocoumarin. The macrocyclic glycopeptides have proven to be very selective for this class of compound. All of the 28 chiral analogues examined afforded baseline separation on at least one of the macrocyclic glycopeptide CSP. The teicoplanin CSP showed the broadest enantioselectivity with 24 of the compounds baseline separated. The TAG and the R CSP produced 23 and 14 baseline separations respectively. All three mobile phase modes, i.e. normal phase (NP), reversed phase (RP), and new polar organic modes (PO), have been evaluated. The NP mode proved to be most effective for the separation of chiral dihydrofurocoumarins on all CSP tested. In the reversed phase (RP) mode, all three CSP separated a similar number of compounds. It was observed that the structural characteristics of the analytes and steric effects are very important factors leading to chiral recognition. Hydrogen bonding was found to play a secondary role in chiral discrimination in the normal phase and polar organic modes. Hydrophobic interactions are important for chiral separation in the reversed-phase mode. Chromatographic retention data does not provide information on the absolute configuration of these chiral dihydrofurocoumarin derivatives. However, when coupled with circular dichroism using the exciton coupling chirality method, the enantiomer elution order and the absolute configuration of some chiral dihydrofurocoumarins were successfully determined.     

High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Stereoisomers of <Emphasis Type="Bold">β</Emphasis>-Amino Acids and a Comparison of Separation Efficiencies on Chirobiotic T and TAG Columns

Direct and indirect reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of enantiomers of seventeen unnatural β-amino acids, including several β-3-homo amino acids. The direct separations of the underivatized analytes were performed on chiral stationary phases containing macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T column) and teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG column). The indirect method involved pre-column derivatization with two new chiral derivatizing agents, (1S,2S)-1,3-diacetoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propylisothiocyanate, (S,S)-DANI and (S)-N-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)phenylalanine methoxyethyl ester, (S)-NIFE. The different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of organic modifier, mobile phase composition, pH and flow rate on the separation were investigated.     

Determination of molindone enantiomers in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phases

A sensitive and selective bioanalytical assay was developed and validated for the determination of enantiomeric molindone in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry along with supported liquid extraction procedures. The chiral separation was evaluated and optimized on macrocyclic antibiotic type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG) in polar organic, polar ionic, and reversed-phase mode chromatography, respectively. Complete baseline separation was achieved on a Chirobiotic TAG column under isocratic condition in reversed-phase chromatography. The method validation was conducted using a Chirobiotic TAG column (100 mm x 2.1 mm) over the curve range 0.100-100 ng/ml for each molindone enantiomer using 0.0500 ml of plasma sample. The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min and the total run time was 9 min. Supported liquid extraction in a 96-well plate format was used for sample preparation. Parameters including recovery, matrix effect, linearity, sensitivity, specificity, carryover, precision, accuracy, dilution integrity, and stability were evaluated. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy of the quality control samples at low, medium, and high concentration levels were RSD 相似文献   

LC Enantioseparation of Aryl-Substituted β-Lactams Using Variable-Temperature Conditions

Direct reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of enantiomers of β-lactams. The enantiomers of 7 aryl-substituted β-lactams were separated on chiral stationary phases containing the macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T) and teicoplanin aglycone (Chirobiotic TAG) at 10-°C increments in the range 5–45 °C, using different compositions of 0.1% aqueous triethylammonium acetate (pH 4.1)/methanol (v/v) as mobile phase. The mobile phase composition and temperature were varied to achieve baseline resolutions in a single chromatographic run. The dependence of the natural logarithms of the selectivity factors ln α on the inverse of temperature, 1/T, was used to determine the thermodynamic data on the enantiomers. The thermodynamic data revealed that all the compounds in this study undergo separation via the same enthalpy-driven chiral recognition mechanism. The different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of the organic modifier, the mobile phase composition and the temperature on the separation were investigated.     

A comparison of the direct and indirect LC methods for separating enantiomers of unusual glycine and alanine amino acid analogues

Summary Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of five glycine and twelve alanine analogues. The enantioselective separation involved two methods. The direct separations were performed on chiral stationary phases containing a macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic: teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T column), ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R column) or chiral crown ether (Crownpak CR(+) column). The indirect methods involved pre-column derivatization with the chiral derivatizing agents 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate andN-α-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (Marfey's reagent). The different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of organic modifier content, mobile phase composition, pH and flow rate on the separation were investigated.

Enantioseparation of Novel Amino Analogs of Indole Phytoalexins on Macrocyclic Glycopeptide-Based Chiral Stationary Phase

Direct chiral separation of the enantiomers of spirobrassinin, 1-methoxyspirobrassinin and ten novel cis- and trans-diastereoisomers of 2-amino analogs of indole phytoalexin 1-methoxyspirobrassinol methyl ether on macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) with teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T) was studied. Normal phase eluents containing n-hexane with modifiers ethanol and 2-propanol were used. The effects of mobile phase composition, structure of the analytes and temperature were investigated. Chiral resolution on teicoplanin CSP was achieved only in the case of trans-diastereoisomers. The van??t Hoff plots were found to show linear behavior in all cases. It was found that studied normal phase enantioseparations were enthalpy driven. The elution order of the enantiomers was determined in some cases.

Comparison of vancomycin-based stationary phases with different chiral selector coverage for enantioselective separation of selected drugs in high-performance liquid chromatography

Two vancomycin-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with different coverage of the chiral selector vancomycin (Chirobiotic V and Chirobiotic V2) were compared. beta-Blockers and profens, as structurally diverse groups of drugs, were chosen as analytes. Retention and enantioseparation of beta-blockers were studied in reversed-phase (RP) and polar-organic (PO) separation modes. Higher retention and better enantioresolution were obtained on the CSP with higher coverage of vancomycin in the both separation modes. Baseline separation of four beta-blockers (eight enantiomers) in the PO mode was achieved on the Chirobiotic V2 column within 15 min. The enantioseparation of profens did not bring so excellent and easy to interpret results. Higher retention of profens on the Chirobiotic V2 column was not always accompanied by an improvement of their chiral separation in the RP mode. The polar-organic mode was not suitable for these derivatives at all. The most interesting result was obtained with flobufen; its chiral center is further away from the rigid part of the molecule, which mostly causes difficulties in enantioselective recognition. Nevertheless, the enantiomers of flobufen were shown to be much better (baseline) resolved on the CSP with lower coverage of the chiral selector (Chirobiotic V).     

Enantioselective ion-exclusion chromatography on teicoplanin aglycone and (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid stationary phases

Ion-exclusion chromatography is a well established technique for the analysis of achiral ionic species, but it has rarely been applied to chiral analytes. In this paper enantioselective ion-exclusion separations were developed on two commercially available HPLC phases: Chirobiotic TAG, based on teicoplanin aglycone, and Opticrown RCA (+), based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Chirobiotic TAG columns have a carboxylic acid group on the chiral ligand, which can be partially ionized to exclude anionic analytes by ionic repulsion. Under acidic conditions Opticrown columns have a cationic sublayer generated from the aminopropyl base silica that excludes cationic analytes. Both columns demonstrate a large dependence of efficiency on flow-rate, with the highest efficiencies at 0.1 ml/min on a 4.6 mm inner diameter column.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of beta-amino acids

Direct and indirect high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the enantioseparation of beta-amino acids (beta-substituted-beta-alanines). Direct separation involved the application of chiral columns: Crownpak CR(+), Chirobiotic T and Chirobiotic R. Indirect separation was based on precolumn derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate or N-alpha-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alanineamide (Marfey's reagent), with subsequent separation on an achiral column. The chromatographic conditions were varied to achieve optimum separation.     

Hybridation of different chiral separation techniques with ICP-MS detection for the separation and determination of selenomethionine enantiomers: chiral speciation of selenized yeast

Enantioseparation and determination of selenomethionine enantiomers in selenized yeast was investigated using chiral separation techniques based on different principles, coupled on-line to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for selenium-specific detection. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a beta-cyclodestrin (beta-CD) column, cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC), gas chromatography (GC) on a Chirasil-L-Val column, and HPLC on a Chirobiotic T column have been investigated as the chiral separation techniques. For HPLC separation on the beta-CD column, and also for CD-MEKC, selenomethionine enantiomers were derivatized with NDA/CN(-). For chiral separation by GC, selenomethionine enantiomers were converted into their N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA)-O-alkyl esters. The developed hybridation methodologies are compared with respect to enantioselectivity, sensitivity and analysis time. The usefulness of the best-suited method [HPLC (Chirobiotic T)-ICP-MS] was demonstrated by its application to the successful chiral speciation of selenium and D-and L-selenomethionine content determination in selenized yeast.
