Thin-layer adsorption chromatography with mixed mobile phases. 2. Effects of solute-solvent interactions and energetic heterogeneity of surfaces with regard to admolecules in TLC

In the Part 1 of this series a new equation for determining the R_m values in TLC with mixed mobile phases was proposed and examined by using the parameter m, which is a measure of energetic heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface with regard to the adsorbing molecules (admolecules). The numerical values of m, evaluated for 13 chromatographic systems, have been compared with that of the O?cik's parameter A, which characterizes solute-solvent interactions.     

Processes dominating forced-flow thin-layer chromatography

Summary The effect of the vapor phase and other special influences on thin-layer chromatography have been investigated. Comparisons were made of the relationships of time vs. developing distance and flow rate vs. efficiency using a planar arrangement of the thin-layer. Covering the layer facilitates the reproducibility and of the migration front but the most effective optimization step for thin-layer chromatography is provided by forced-flow of the mobile phase. It is suggested that planar chromatography with a covered sorbent layer and using a pressurised solvent stream should be calledforced-flow thin-layer chromtatography.     

Thin-layer chromatography of steroids. X. RM-correlations of cholesterol esters,ethers, carbonic acid esters and halogen derivatives

A study was made of the TLC properties of the 3-beta-substituted esters, ethers, carbonic acid esters and halogen derivatives of cholesterol.As regards the TLC properties it can be stated as a general correlation that the same solvent systems are suitable for the separation of these groups of compounds (with the exception of the halogen derivatives). As a result of our experiment, four such systems could be found among many others tried.A regularity can be observed with regard to the polarity change of the esterifying component from C₆ to C₁₆ in the cyclohexane-chloroform (6:4) system.The cholesterol 3-beta-ethers are more polar than the esters, but with the lengthening of the etherifying side-chain the polarity decreases more rapidly than in the case of the esters; from the point of a TLC separation technique this is a very advantageous property.As regards their properties the cholesterol carbonic acid derivatives can be correlated with the cholesterol ethers.Compared with the above groups the 3-beta halogen cholesterol derivatives exhibit different properties. Their separation can be achieved with apolar solvents.     

Influence of solvent strength in possible optimization of adsorption thin-layer chromatography

Considerations of TLC process optimization have been based on the thermodynamic theory of adsorption from multicomponent solvents using experimental and theoretical R_{M1, 2} = f (Φ₁) relationships. It was found that a relationship exists between the A_z parameter (log k where k is the partition coefficient of the substance chromatographed) of the above theory and pK_a values of substances as well as the solubility parameter δ of the mobile phase components. Analysis of the A_z values of substances shows that a slight variation therein is associated with lower selectivity of chromatographic separation.     

Influence of chamber saturation in thin-layer chromatography on theoretical and experimental parameters of mixture separations

The influence of chamber saturation in thin-layer chromatography on theoretical and experimental parameters of mixture separations were examined. Five different types of chambers for development of chromatograms were taken into consideration. The relation found experimentally differed widely from that calculated using O?cik's equation for different method of carrying out of the chromatographic process. The investigations presented here show the possibility of choosing chromatographic chambers which are optimum for theoretical studies on the process of thin-layer chromatography.     

Optimum TLC system for identification of phenothiazines and tri- and tetracyclic antidepressants

The TLC separation of twelve drugs from three pharmaceutical groups: phenothiazines and tri and tetracyclic antidepressants is presented. Three kinds of eluents and two types of solid phases (RP 18 and Silica gel 60) were used. The composition of mobile phases was optimized by the Simplex method. In the basic optimization criterion the differences betweenR _f values of the spots corresponding to individual drugs were taken into account. An auxiliary criterion was based on the colour of the spots, which were developed with appropriate reagents. The experimental data obtained during optimization were interpreted using a matrix presentation. In the optimal conditions the differences between positions of the spots enable identification of ten of the examined drugs, but two remained unresolved.Parts of this paper were presented at the 33rd International Congress on Forensic Toxicology, August 27–31, 1995, Thessaloniki, Greece, and the Vth Polish Conference on Analytical Chemistry, September 3–8, 1995, Gdansk     

Current Response of Cytochrome C Promoted by Dodecyl Benzene Sodium Sulfonate

Abstract

A simple TLC separation and semi-quantitative visual determination method was used to analyse the volatile phenols in the waste water of the petroleum industry and the grain irrigated by the waste water. The phenol in the rice irrigated by the water that contained phenol for artificial preparation was also studied. A preliminary conclusion was obtained, that the grain could absorb volatile phenols from irrigation water.     

Rapid and Highly Sensitive HPLC and TLC Methods for Quantitation of Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan in Bulk Powder and in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and in Human Plasma

Two simple, sensitive, and specific high-performance liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography methods were developed for the simultaneous estimation of Amlodipine besilate (AM) and Valsartan (VL). Separation by HPLC was achieved using a xTerra C18 column and methanol /acetonitrile /water/ 0.05% triethylamine in a ratio 40:20:30:10 by volume as mobile phase, pH was adjusted to 3 ± 0.1 with o-phosphoric acid. The flow rate was 1.2 mL min^?1. The linearity range was 0.2 to 2 µg mL^?1 for amlodipine besilate and 0.4 to 4 µg mL^?1 for Valsartan with a mean percentage recovery of 99.59 ± 0.523% and 100.61 ± 0.400% for amlodipine besilate and valsartan, respectively. The TLC method used silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ plates; the optimized mobile phase was ethyl acetate/ methanol / ammonium hydroxide (55:45:5 by volume). Quantitatively, the spots were scanned densitometrically at 237 nm. The range was 0.5–4.0 µg spot^?1 for amlodipine besilate and 2.0–12.0 µg spot^?1 for valsartan. The mean percentages recovery was 99.80 ± 0.451% and 100.61 ± 0.363% for amlodipine besilate and valsartan, respectively. The HPLC method was found to be simple, selective, precise, and reproducible for the estimation of both drugs from spiked human plasma.     

Determination of the lipophilicity of some aniline derivatives by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography. The effect of the organic phase in the eluent

Summary The lipophilicity of aniline and 36 ring-substituted aniline derivatives was determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography using methanol, acetone and acetonitrile as the organic phase. The R_M value of each compound linearly decreased with increasing concentration of the organic solvent, Acetonitrile showed the highest and methanol the lowest solvent strength, however, the difference between the solvent strength of methanol and acetone was negligible. The site of the substitution considerably influenced the lipophilicity particularly in the case of –NO₂ groups. Good correlation was found between the R_M value extrapolated to zero organic phase concentration and the partition coefficient between n-octanol:water. The change in the R_M value caused by a 1% increase of the organic phase concentration also correlated with the partition coefficient, however, it was of secondary importance. The lipophilicity parameters determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography correlated to a lesser extent with the calculated lipophilicity values of aniline derivatives.     

Chromatographic examination of hydrophobic properties of isometric ethylphenols and phenylenediamines

R. spectroscopy and theoretical considerations. It was established that hydrophobic properties of the investigated substances changed in accordance with the sequence: ortho>para>meta.     

A new chromatographic method for the separation of food dye mixtures on thin MgO layers

Summary A new effective TLC method has been developed for the separation of the five main watersoluble food dyes such as indige carmin, cochineal red, acid amaranth I, orange yellow S and tartrazine G. The chromatograms are developed by the ascending technique on thin MgO layers applied onto glass plates, previously activated at 130°C. A 82 mixture of 15% sodium citrate and methanol is used as the developing phase. This composition was selected on the basis of Snyder's theory and the polarity index which for this mixture is 8.3. The proposed method permits the full separation of the dye mixture from a 0.3l sample solution with concentrations of 1×10^–6 mole/liter.

Lipophilicity study of eight cephalosporins by reversed‐phase thin‐layer chromatographic method

The lipophilicity (R_M0) and specific hydrophobic surface area for the representatives of four generation cephalosporins have been determined by reversed‐phase thin‐layer chromatography, and the effect of different mobile‐phase modifiers (such as methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, 1,4‐dioxane and 2‐propanol) on the retention has been studied. The compounds studied showed typical retention behavior; their R_M values decreased linearly with increasing concentration of the organic modifier in the eluent. The linear correlations between the volume fraction of the organic solvent and the R_M values over a limited range were established for each solute, resulting in high values of correlation coefficients (>0.95 in most cases). R_M values were determined by various concentrations of organic modifier, and the correlation obtained was extrapolated to 0% of organic modifier. Chromatographically established logP (R_M0) parameters were compared with computationally calculated partition coefficients values (AClogP, ALOGP, KOWWIN, ALOGPs, XLOGP2, MLOGP and XLOGP3) and experimental octanol–water logP values (measured by the shake flask method). The received results demonstrate that RP‐TLC may be a good alternative technique for analytics in describing the lipophilic nature of investigated cephalosporins as well as the activity.

Chromatographic analysis of binary mixtures of isomeric complexes

Summary Mixed ligand complexes of Cr(III), Co(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with the p-diethylaminoanil of phenylglyoxal and either thiourea or ammonia, isolated as binary mixtures of isomers, were separated on thin layers of alumina or silica gel and on paper strips. Separation of mixtures in bulk was by column chromatography whereas quantitative analysis including determination of isomeric compositions of isolates was by TLC. Resolved isomers were identified using correlations of their R_F with spectral properties.     

Thin-layer adsorption chromatography with mixed mobile phases. 3. Correlation between parameters characterizing the chromatographic systems with binary and ternary mobile phases

TLC experimental data have been measured for polycyclic hydrocarbons in binary and ternary mobile phases on silica gel. These data have been interpretated using the equation discussed by us in Part 1 of this series [HRC & CC 2 (1979) 236].

Determination of Selected Quinolones and Fluoroquinolones by Use of TLC

Abstract

There are many different methods of quinolones determination. The most often used method of quinolones analysis is liquid chromatography. In this work some selected quinolones (cinoxacin, pipemidic acid) and fluoroquinolones (ofloxacin, pefloxacin) were separated with thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The two different mobile phases were used as follows: buffer solution (pH = 5.5)-methanol, 40:10 (v/v) and acetonitrile-water-acetic acid, 6:40:4 (v/v/v), respectively, for quinolones and fluoroquinolones. The following chromatographic parameters were calculated for these separations: R_F, ?R_F, R_M, and R_S. The possibility of qualitative determination of cinoxacin, pipemidic acid, ofloxacin, and pefloxacin using TLC was shown.     

Some aspects of TLC in homogenous magnetic fields

This article consists of two parts. First part is a short review about the role of magnetic phenomena in natural environment, human surroundings, and his activities such as science, engineering, and medicine. The second part of the article presents a set of experiments, their results, and data obtained in a static homogenous magnetic field, generated by a pair of permanent magnets and outside it. Adsorption chromatographic systems were investigated: as chromatographed substances – polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), as stationary phase – silica gel 60, as monocomponent mobile phases – n‐hexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane, and benzene were used and binary mobile phases n‐hydrocarbons – benzene. Magnetic field influences retention and efficiency of investigated chromatographic systems. Experimental data analysis (R_F, N) allows us to propose some explanations of the differences between experiment results performed in induced magnetic field and outside it, and in consequence on the changes in the interfacial phenomena induced by field presence.     

Reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography of 2-substituted benzoic acids with ammonium compounds as ion-pair reagents

Summary The retention behaviour of some substituted benzoic acids was tested on reversed-phase pre-coated plates in the presence of ammonium bromide and various tetraalkylammonium compounds with different alkyl chain lengths.It could be shown that the R_f values of the test compounds decrease in the absence and in the presence of ion-pair reagents with increasing water content of the eluent. The R_f values of the strongly acidic substituted benzoic acids decrease with both increasing concentration of the ion-pair reagent and with increasing chain length of the tetraalkylammonium compounds.Changing the inorganic counter-ions had no real influence on the separation and the size of R_f values when using tetramethylammonium compounds as ion-pair reagents.     

Analysis of additives in polymers by thin-layer chromatography coupled with Fourier transform-infrared microscopy

A new, fast and convenient method based on coupled thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) microscopy is developed to separate, detect and identify the additives in polymers. After the TLC development, the analytes were transferred on to a barium fluoride (BaF₂) salt plate via a special capillary technique and analysed by FT-IR microscopy. The additives used for stabilization of polypropylene and the plasticisers used for poly(vinyl chloride) were analysed as examples to illustrate this technique. The overall time taken for the experiment including transferring three marked spots and then identifying them was about 20 min. An amount as small as 0.5 μg can be easily detected and identified. It was a very convenient and reliable method to separate and evaluate complex additives for polymers without the interference from TLC adsorbent, because of a special transferring and identifying method, which is suitable to FT-IR microscopy.
