High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Enantioresolution of Benzoyl Amino Acid,Dipeptides and Tripeptide on β-Cyclodextrin Bonded Stationary Phase Using Polar-Organic Acetonitrile as the Mobile Phase

The enantiomeric resolution of several dipeptides, amino acid (i.e., isoleucine) and tripeptide (i.e., Leu-Gly-Phe) with two stereogenic centers on β-cyclodextrin bonded chiral stationary phase (β-CD CSP) using polar-organic acetonitrile as the mobile phase is examined through pre-column chemical derivatization with a series of tagging reagents such as benzoyl chloride, benzenesulfonyl chloride and 1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride. These tagging reagents are similar in structure; however, the enantioselectivity for the same analyte derivatized with these tagging reagents is quite different and found to be the best with benzoyl chloride. In the reversed-phase mode or on the γ-CD CSP under the same chromatographic conditions, the enantioresolution diminishes for all tagged enantiomers that were examined in this study. Dipeptides derivatized by benzoyl chloride appear to be better resolved than by dansyl chloride as reported previously. Interestingly, no enantioresolution for most derivatized amino acids with single stereogenic center was observed. Finally, enantioresolution can be enhanced by replacing the basic additive such as triethylamine with tripropylamine in the polar-organic mobile phase.     

Characterization of new R-naphthylethyl cyclofructan 6 chiral stationary phase and its comparison with R-naphthylethyl β-cyclodextrin-based column

Derivatized cyclofructans have been recently introduced as a new class of chiral selectors with great application potential. In this study, a R-naphthylethyl-functionalized cyclofructan 6 based chiral stationary phase (RN CF6 CSP) was used for separation of substituted binaphthyl catalysts in the normal phase HPLC mode. Dominant interaction types that play a role in the separation mechanism were revealed by a linear free energy relationship (LFER) method. In order to evaluate the contribution of the substituent on the cyclofructan structure to retention, the R-naphthylethyl-functionalized β-cyclodextrin (RN CD) CSP was chosen for comparison. Retention factors of 46 widely different solutes, with known solvation parameters, were determined on each of the columns under the same mobile phase compositions used for the enantiomeric separations. The LFER results showed that hydrogen bond acidity and polarity/polarizibility have the greatest impact on retention and enantioresolution on the RN CF6 CSP. The equal influence of the naphthylethyl substituent on the both CSPs was also confirmed while the effects of the basic cyclofructan versus cyclodextrin structures were different. The addition of trifluoroacetic acid to the hexane/propane-2-ol mobile phase was negligible on the RN CF6 CSP for the majority of atropoisomers except for one with ionizable functional groups. The RN CF6 column was shown to be more suitable for enantioseparation of the binaphthyl catalysts than the RN CD column. Higher retention offered by the latter CSP had no positive effect on the enantioresolution.     

The HPLC Enantioresolution of Phenyl Isothiocyanated Amino Acids on Vancomycin Bonded Phase Using the Acetonitrile‐Based Mobile Phase: A Comparison to the Teicoplanin Phase

The phenyl isothiocyanate, an electrophilic reagent for peptide chain sequencing, is used to pre‐column derivatize a variety of α‐amino acids in alkaline medium before their enantioresolution on a vancomycin bonded chiral phase using the acetonitrile‐based mobile phase. The observed resolution is believed to be due to the re‐location of the hydrogen receptor site from sulfur to nitrogen on the isothiocyanyl fragment of derivatizing reagent, which in turn changes the enantioselectivity. Under the same chromatographic conditions, the resolution for N‐benzoylated, 3,5‐dinitrobenzoylated and N‐carbobenzyloxylated amino acids is either not found or unsatisfactory. Also, no resolution is obtained in the reversed‐ or normal phase mode for all phenyl isothiocyanated amino acids examined in this study.     

Enantiomeric Separation of Drugs Using Ion Interaction Reagents in Combination with β-Cyclodextrin in HPLC

This work describes the use of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a mobile phase additive in combination with ion interaction reagents (IIR) for the enantioresolution of cyclopentolate, 2,6-diketopiperazine derivative and methylphenobarbital. The effect of concentration and type of IIR and temperature on retention and enantioseparation were studied. It has been found that the addition of an IIR to β-CD solution can lead to the improvement in enantioresolution. Interestingly, the most significant enhancement of enantioresolution was achieved for cyclopentolate, most probably due to its highest basicity. Also the stability constants of the complexes formed between β-CD and model compounds in the presence of IIR were estimated. Significant increase of complexation rate of cyclopentolate with β-cyclodextrin in presence of IIRs was observed.     

Preparation and application of rifamycin-capped (3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles as chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography

Rifamycin-capped (3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (RCD-HPS), a new type of substituted β-cyclodextrin-bonded chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), have been synthesized by the treatment of bromoacetate-substituted-(3-(2-O-β-cyclodextrin)-2-hydroxypropoxy)-propylsilyl-appended silica particles (BACD-HPS) with rifamycin SV in anhydrous acetonitrile. The stationary phase is characterized by means of elemental analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. This new CSP has a chiral selector with two recognition sites: rifamycin and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The chromatographic behavior of RCD-HPS was studied with several disubstituted benzenes and some chiral drug compounds under reversed-phase HPLC mobile phase conditions. The results show that RCD-HPS has excellent selectivity for the separation of aromatic positional isomers and enantiomers of chiral compounds due to the cooperative functioning of rifamycin and β-CD.     

The Utility of Cyclodextrin in Mobile Phase for High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Isomeric Estrogens

Abstract

Cyclodextrin was used as a component of mobile phase for the separation of isomeric estrogens by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The positional isomers of catechol and guaiacol estrogens were distinctly resolved by the addition of β-cyclodextrin in the mobile phase. The separation of estriol 16- and 17-glucuronides requires usually a prolonged time. The use of β-cyclodextrin in the mobile phase, however, reduced the retention time considerably.

The effect of β-cyclodextrin concentration in the mobile phase on the detector response was also investigated. The response of a fluorescence detector was raised with an increasing concentration of β-cyclodextrin, while that of an electrochemical detector was significantly depressed.     

Separation of Enantiomers of Isochromene Derivatives by HPLC Using Cyclodextrin-Based Stationary Phases

Twenty chiral isochromene derivatives have been chromatographed on native and derivatized cyclodextrin stationary phases using HPLC. The most effective CSPs for the enantioresolution of these analytes in the reverse phase mode are the hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond RSP), the 2,3-dimethyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DM), and the -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond II) stationary phases. The -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond III), -cyclodextrin (Cyclobond I), acetyl--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond AC), S-1-naphthylethyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond SN), and 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate--cyclodextrin (Cyclobond DMP) stationary phases also show enantioselectivities for some analytes. No enantioseparations were observed in the polar organic mode and only a few separations were found in the normal phase mode. The Cyclobond RSP CSP provided the best overall separations of these analytes in the reverse phase mode. The pH of the mobile phase and the nature of organic modifiers have little effect on the enantioresolution. The substituents on the isochromene ring greatly affect the chiral recognition.     

The HPLC Enantioresolution of Phenyl Isocyanated Amino Acids, Peptides and Amino Alcohols on Cyclodextrin Bonded Phases Using the Acetonitrile-Based Mobile Phase

A variety of amino acids (primary and secondary), peptides and amino alcohols are pre-column phenyl isocyanated in alkaline medium and enantioresolved on the naphthylethylcarbamated β-cyclodextrin (i.e., RN- and SN-β-CD) bonded chiral phases (CSPs) using the acetonitrile-based mobile phase and on a native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) phase for comparison. The resolution is believed to be a result of the hydrogen bonding between the secondary hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin and the functional groups of analyte and is enhanced as the amino and the carboxyl groups are attached to the stereogenic center of analyte. Also, the enhancement is observed if the steric hindrance between the side-chain group of amino acid and the chiral selector exists. However, the resolution is deteriorated in the case that the side-chain group close to the stereogenic center of amino acid becomes bulky or is capable of forming hydrogen bonding with chiral selector. The aromatic moiety of the tagging reagent not only contributes the retention, but also benefits the resolution in some cases on the RN- and SN-β-CD phases through π-π interaction. The resolution is either not observed or unsatisfactory in the reversed-phase mode.     

Chiral separation of beta-adrenergic antagonists, profen non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chlorophenoxypropionic acid herbicides using teicoplanin as the chiral selector in capillary liquid chromatography

Three groups of structurally diverse chiral compounds were used to study the interaction mechanism responsible for stereoselective recognition with teicoplanin as chiral selector in capillary liquid chromatography. Teicoplanin-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) was used. The effect of the variation of mobile phase composition on retention and enantioselective separation was studied. The mobile phase composition suitable for enantioresolution of the various chiral compounds differed according to the interaction forces needed for chiral recognition. Mobile phases with high buffer portion (70-90 vol.%) were preferred for separation of enantiomers of profen non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chlorophenoxypropionic acid herbicides that require hydrophobic interactions, inclusion and pi-pi interactions for stereoselective recognition with teicoplanin. Higher concentration triethylamine in the buffer (0.5-1.0%) increased resolution of these acids. On the other hand, H-bonding and electrostatic interactions are important in stereoselective interaction mechanism of beta-adrenergic antagonists with teicoplanin. These interaction types predominate in the reversed phase separation mode with high organic modifier content (95% methanol) and in polar organic mobile phases. For this reason beta-adrenergic antagonists were best enantioresolved in the polar organic mode. The mobile phase composed of methanol/acetic acid/triethylamine, 100/0.01/0.01 (v/v/v), provided enantioresolution values of all the studied beta-adrenergic antagonists in the range 1.1-1.9. Addition of teicoplanin to the mobile phase, which was suitable for enantioseparation of certain compounds on the CSP, was also investigated. This system was used to dispose of nonstereoselective interactions of analytes with silica gel support that often participate in the interaction with CSPs. Very low concentration of teicoplanin in the mobile phase (0.1 mM) resulted in enantioselective separation of 2,2- and 2,4-chlorophenoxypropionic acids.     

Evaluation and Comparison of a 3,5‐Dimethylphenyl Isocyanate Teicoplanin with Phenyl Isocyanate Teicoplanin Chiral Stationary Phase Using RP‐HPLC

HPLC enantiomeric separations of 8 α‐amino acids were achieved using two self‐made chiral stationary phases (CSP)–phenyl isocyanate teicoplanin (Phe‐TE) and 3,5‐dimethylphenyl isocyanate teicoplanin (DMP‐TE), using reversed phase mobile phases. The Phe‐TE or the DMP‐TE CSP was prepared from the TE using derivative agents, phenyl isocyanate or 3,5‐dimethylphenyl isocyanate, respectively. The chromatographic results were given as the retention, selectivity, resolution factor and the enantioselective free energy difference corresponding to the separation of the two enantiomers. The effect of pH, organic modifier type and amount were discussed, and the stereoselectivities for two TE‐based CSPs were compared. The chiral selectivity factor for six α‐amino acids on DMP‐TE is somewhat bigger than that on Phe‐TE CSP under reversed phase (RP) mode. Comparison of the enantiomeric separations using self‐made Phe‐TE and DMP‐TE was conducted to gain a better understanding of the chiral recognition mechanism of the macrocyclic glycopeptide CSP.     

The HPLC Enantioresolution of Selected Native or Derivatized Amino Acids on Teicoplanin Bonded Chiral Stationary Phase Using a Methanol‐Based Mobile Phase

The facile HPLC enantiomeric resolution of a variety of selected native or derivatized amino acids is carried out on the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin bonded chiral stationary phase using a methanol‐based mobile phase and found very sensitive to the structural variations. This mobile phase is mainly composed of methanol. Organic additives such as acetic acid and triethylamine are introduced to the mobile phase in small percentages to control the analyte's retention time. Additive of low viscosity such as ethyl ether or petroleum ether is incorporated in the mobile phase as well to improve the resolution. Further increasing its percentage in the mobile phase deteriorates the resolution slightly; however, it extends the retention scale of enantiomers. The change in enantioselectivity is found to be insignificant under these circumstances. The hydrogen bonding and π‐π complexation in the hydrophobic pocket of teicoplanin chiral selector is believed to be the mechanism mainly responsible for the enantioresolution observed in this report.     

Effect of Steric Hindrance on the Resolution of the Enantiomers of Alkyl Isothiocyanate Derivatives of Amino Acids on a Teicoplanin CSP Using a Methanol-Based Mobile Phase

The effect of steric hindrance on the resolution of the enantiomers of alkyl (i.e. methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and tert-butyl) isothiocyanate derivatives of amino acids on a teicoplanin chiral stationary phase (CSP), with a methanol-based mobile phase, has been studied. Resolution was found to depend on the size of the alkyl group attached to the isothiocyanate reagent and deteriorated as the size of the group increased from methyl to tert-butyl under the same chromatographic conditions. This indicates that interaction between the isothiocyanate group and the chiral selector is important in chiral recognition. Better-than-baseline resolution was achieved for many amino acids with a basic amino or an amide group, for example histidine, lysine, arginine, and asparagine, because of increased solubility in the mobile phase after chemical derivatization.

Cationic cyclodextrins chemically-bonded chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography

Two covalently bonded cationic β-CD chiral stationary phases (CSPs) prepared by graft polymerization of 6^A-(3-vinylimidazolium)-6-deoxyperphenylcarbamate-β-cyclodextrin chloride or 6^A-(N,N-allylmethylammonium)-6-deoxyperphenylcarbamoyl-β-cyclodextrin chloride onto silica gel were successfully applied in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Their enantioseparation capability was examined with 12 racemic pharmaceuticals and 6 carboxylic acids. The results indicated that imidazolium-containing β-CD CSP afforded more favorable enantioseparations than that containing ammonium moiety under normal-phase HPLC. The cationic moiety on β-CD CSPs could form strong hydrogen bonding with analytes in normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) to enhance the analytes’ retention and enantioseparations. In reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), the analytes exhibited their maximum retention when the pH of mobile phase was close to their pK_a value. Inclusion complexation with CD cavity and columbic/ionic interactions with cationic substituent on the CD rim would afford accentuated retention and enantioseparations of the analytes.     

Determination of enantiomeric purity of S‐amlodipine by chiral LC with emphasis on reversal of enantiomer elution order

An LC method was developed and prevalidated for the enantiomeric purity determination of S‐amlodipine in polar organic solvent chromatography using a chlorine‐containing cellulose‐based chiral stationary phase (CSP). The concentration of formic acid (FA) (0.01–0.2%) in the mobile phase containing acetonitrile as the main solvent was found to influence the elution order of amlodipine enantiomers as well as the enantioresolution. A reversal of the enantiomer elution order of amlodipine was only observed with chiral stationary phases with both electron‐withdrawing (chloro) and electron‐donating groups (methyl) on the phenyl moieties of the chiral selector, namely cellulose tris(3‐chloro‐4‐methylphenylcarbamate) and cellulose tris(4‐chloro‐3‐methylphenylcarbamate). The highest enantioresolution (R_s: 4.1) value was obtained at the lowest FA concentration (0.01%) using cellulose tris(4‐chloro‐3‐methylphenylcarbamate) as the chiral selector and the enantiomeric impurity, R‐amlodipine, eluted first under these conditions. Therefore, the mobile phase selected for the prevalidation of the method consisted of ACN/0.1% DEA/0.01% FA and the temperature was set at 25°C. The method was prevalidated by means of the strategy based on the total measurement error and the accuracy profile. The method was found to be selective and the limit of quantification was found to be about 0.05% for R‐amlodipine, while the limit of detection was close to 0.02%.     

Preparation and application of a new ligand exchange chiral stationary phase for the liquid chromatographic resolution of alpha-amino acid enantiomers

A new liquid chromatographic ligand exchange CSP has been prepared by covalently bonding (S)-N,N-carboxymethyl undecyl leucinol monosodium salt onto silica gel and employed in resolving various alpha-amino acids. The new CSP was quite good in resolving various a-amino acids and the resolution results were dependent on the type and content of organic modifier in the mobile phase. From these results, a chiral recognition model using a lipophilic interaction between the tethering alkyl group of the CSP and the substituent at the chiral center of alpha-amino acids was proposed. The liquid chromatographic resolution of alpha-amino acids on the new CSP was also found to be dependent on the Cu(II) concentration in the mobile phase and the column temperature.     

Analytical and semi‐preparative enantioresolution of (RS)‐ketorolac from pharmaceutical formulation and in human plasma by HPLC

An efficient, simple, validated, analytical and semi‐preparative HPLC method has been developed for direct enantioresolution of (RS)‐Ketorolac (Ket) using monochloro‐methylated derivatives of cellulose and amylose, i.e. cellulose (tris‐3‐chloro‐4‐methylphenylcarbamate) and amylose (tris‐5‐chloro‐2‐methylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with photo diode array detection at 320 nm. Enantioresolution was carried out in samples of human plasma spiked with (RS)‐Ket under normal and reversed‐phase elution modes with suitable mobile phase compositions. The effect of nature of alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, PrOH and n‐BuOH) and other solvents (MeCN and MeOH) as organic modifiers in the mobile phase was investigated on the separation performance of two CSPs in terms of retention and separation of enantiomers. The best resolution was observed on cellulose‐based CSP using EtOH, while using 2‐PrOH (15%) and amylose‐based CSP obtained the highest retention. Under reversed‐phase elution mode the best enantioseparation was observed using 30% MeCN with ammonium formate buffer. The elution order of enantiomers was ascertained by determining specific rotations. The limit of detection and quantitation values were 5 and 15.5 ng/mL for each enantiomer of (RS)‐Ket, respectively.

Use of short-end injection capillary packed with a glycopeptide antibiotic stationary phase in electrochromatography and capillary liquid chromatography for the enantiomeric separation of hydroxy acids

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared by reacting MDL 63,246 (Hepta-Tyr), a glycopeptide antibiotic belonging to the teicoplanin family, with 5-μm diol-silica particles. The CSP mixed with 5-μm amino silica particles (3:1) was packed into 75-μm fused-silica capillaries for only 6.6 cm and used for electrochromatographic experiments analyzing several hydroxy acid enantiomers. A reversed electroosmotic flow carried both analytes and mobile phase towards the anode in a short time (1–3 min), being baseline resolved all the studied analytes. In order to achieve the fastest enantiomeric resolution of the studied hydroxy acids, the effect of several experimental parameters such as mobile phase composition (organic modifier type and concentration, pH of the buffer and ionic strength), capillary temperature and applied voltage on enantioresolution factor, retention time, enantioselectivity were evaluated. The packed capillary column allowed the separation of mandelic acid enantiomers in less than 72 s with resolution factor R_s=2.18 applying a voltage of 30 kV and eluting with a mobile phase composed by 50 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6)–water–acetonitrile (1:4:5, v/v). The CSP was also tested in the capillary liquid chromatography mode resolving all the studied enantiomers applying 12 bar pressure to the mobile phase [50 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6)–water–methanol–acetonitrile, 1:4:2:3, v/v)], however, relatively long analysis times were observed (12–20 min).     

3，5-二甲基苯基异氰酸酯替考拉宁和苯基异氰酸酯替考拉宁手性固定相的评价与比较

用大环抗生素替考拉宁手性固定相(TE CSP)分别与3,5-二甲基苯基异氰酸酯和苯基异氰酸酯反应得到了两种新型的高效液相色谱手性固定相----3,5-二甲基苯基异氰酸酯替考拉宁手性固定相(DMP-TE CSP)和苯基异氰酸酯替考拉宁手性固定相(Ph-TE CSP)。用十八个手性化合物在反相及极性流动相模式对这两种CSP的对映体分离能力进行了评价和比较。在反相流动相中,十二个化合物（包括八个氨基酸和四个非氨基酸化合物----对羟基苯甘氨酸,拉米夫定,醇酸和去甲羟安定）的对映体在这两种手性固定相上都获得了分离,大部分的溶质在DMP-TE上获得了更强的保留和稍好的手性分离效果。在极性流动相中,六个氨基醇类化合物在DMP-TE上获得了更强的保留,但它们在两种CSP上的选择因子几乎没有区别。对自制的替考拉宁衍生物手性固定相进行评价和比较,将有助于大环糖肽类抗生素手性固定相手性识别机理的研究。
