Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-electrospray- mass spectrometry for the analysis of fluoxetine and its related compounds

The potential of nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis was investigated for the simultaneous separation of fluoxetine hydrochloride, its meta-isomer, and other related compounds. The resolution of these compounds was compared in aqueous and nonaqueous media. Baseline separation of the studied solutes required a buffer electrolyte solution composed of 25 mM ammonium acetate and 1 M acetic acid in acetonitrile, an applied voltage of 30 kV and a temperature of 20 degrees C. Selectivity was considerably affected by the nature of the solvent (water, methanol, and acetonitrile). Moreover, substituting acetate by formate in the background electrolyte resulted in migration time changes, which were attributed to an ion-pairing phenomenon. Finally, the method was successfully coupled on-line with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and allowed significant selectivity and sensitivity enhancement. The effect of ESI-MS parameters, such as nebulizing gas pressure, sheath liquid composition and flow rate, on resolution and method sensitivity was also discussed.

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry

Nonaqueous background electrolytes broaden the application of capillary electrophoresis displaying altered separation selectivity and interactions between analytes and buffer additives compared to aqueous background electrolytes. In addition, nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) appears to be ideally suited for online coupling with mass spectrometry due to the high volatility and low surface tension of many organic solvents. Despite these advantages and an increasing use of nonaqueous background electrolytes in CE, coupling of NACE to mass spectrometry has not yet been applied very often to date. The present review summarizes the applications of online NACE-MS with regard to the analysis of drugs, stereoisomers, peptides, alkaloids, polymers and others. A brief discussion of solvent effects in NACE and pH of nonaqueous background electrolyte systems is also presented.     

Nonaqueous electrophoresis on microchips: A review

The use of organic solvents as electrolytic medium in electrophoresis has become an important alternative for the analysis of compounds that exhibit low or no solubility in water. In recent years, nonaqueous electrophoresis has been extensively explored in conventional capillary systems for different applications. On the other hand, this separation strategy is still not as popular as free solution electrophoresis on chip-based platforms due to the effects of solvent in the background electrolyte on the sample injection, detection performance, and microfluidic platform compatibility. In this way, this review summarizes the main achievements on nonaqueous microchip electrophoresis (NAME). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review dedicated to discuss exclusively nonaqueous electrophoresis on chip-based systems. For this purpose, some important theoretical aspects involved when separations are performed in organic medium, such as equilibrium, interactions and electrophoretic considerations, are included in the review. In addition, the main challenges, advantages and influences of nonaqueous media on the sample injection, detection as well as the choice of the substrate to fabricate chip-based electrophoresis devices are highlighted. Last, examples showing the feasibility of nonaqueous microchip electrophoresis for applications exploiting different methodologies, operational, and instrumental conditions are summarized and discussed. We hope this review can be useful to spread the huge potential of nonaqueous electrophoresis on microfluidic platforms.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry for separation of venlafaxine and its phase I metabolites

Aqueous and nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) were investigated for separation of venlafaxine, a new second-generation antidepressant, and its three phase I metabolites. Working at basic pH, around the venlafaxine pKa value, was effective in resolving the investigated drugs, but created considerable peak tailing. To overcome electrostatic interactions between analytes and silanol groups, investigations were also carried out at acidic pH. However, despite the addition of up to 50% v/v of organic solvents (e.g., methanol or acetonitrile), complete separation of the studied compounds was not possible. NACE was found to be an appropriate alternative to resolve venlafaxine and its metabolites simultaneously. Using a conventional capillary (fused-silica, 64.5 cm length, 50 microm inner diameter), and a methanol-acetonitrile mixture (20/80 v/v) containing 25 mM ammonium formate and 1 M formic acid, complete resolution of these closely related compounds was performed in less than 3.5 min. Selectivity, efficiency and separation time were greatly affected by the organic solvent composition. As the electric current generated in nonaqueous medium was very low, the electric field was further increased by reducing the capillary length. This allowed a baseline resolution of venlafaxine and its three metabolities in 0.7 min. Selectivity was compared in aqueous and nonaqueous media in relation to the acid-base properties of the analytes as well as to the solvation degree. Finally, the method successfully coupled on-line to mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization interface allowed significant sensitivity enhancement.     

Analysis of Calix[4]arenes Using Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis

In nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE), an organic solvent is used in place of an aqueous medium as the background solution to improve the solubility and selectivity for hydrophobic analytes. In this study, we employed NACE with UV detection for the analysis of eight calix[4]arenes. We examined the influence of several parameters—the buffer composition, the nonaqueous solvent‘s composition and proportion, and the concentration of the electrolyte of the nonaqueous buffer—on the efficiency of the electrophoretic separation. The separation was achieved through the analyte's different effective mobility via different degrees of deprotonation on the phenolic OH groups of the calix[4]arene. This deprotonation can further affect the analyte's ability to form a complex with the metal ion. The optimized background electrolyte (BGE), comprising a mixture of N‐methylformamide/acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) and 100 mM AcOH/20 mM NH₄OAc, provided rapid (<11 min) separation of the calix[4]arenes with good resolution. The relative standard deviations of the migration times for the eight analytes were all less than 1%. Within the calibration concentration range, the coefficients of determination (R²) were all greater than 0.9914. Thus, the present study demonstrated NACE can provide adequate separation for the analysis of calix[4]arenes.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis using a titania-coated capillary

In this work, an ordered mesoporous titania film was introduced to coat a capillary by means of the sol-gel technique. Its electroosmotic flow (EOF) property was investigated in a variety of nonaqueous media (methanol, formamide and N,N'-dimethylformamide and mixtures of methanol and acetonitrile). The titania-coated capillary exhibited a distinctive EOF behavior, the direction and magnitude of which were strongly dependent on various parameters such as the solvent composition, apparent pH (pH*) and the electrolytes. The nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis separation of several alkaloids was investigated in the positively charged titania-coated capillary. Comparison of separation between coated and uncoated capillaries under optimal nonaqueous conditions was also carried out.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection: a case study of comparison with aqueous media

A novel method based on separation by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) combined with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection was developed and compared with classic aqueous modes of electrophoresis in terms of resolution of solutes of interest and sensitivity of the fluorescence detection. Catecholamines derivatized with 4-chloro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-Cl) were chosen as test analytes for their subtle fluorescence properties. In aqueous systems, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was not suitable for the analysis of test analytes due to complete fluorescence quenching of NBD-labeled catecholamines in neat aqueous buffer. The addition of micelles or microemulsion droplets into aqueous running buffer can dramatically improve the fluorescence response, and the enhancement seems to be comparable for micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) and microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC). As another alternative, NACE separation was advantageous when performing the analysis under the optimum separation condition of 20 mM sodium tetraborate, 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 0.1% (v/v) glacial acetic acid, 20% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN) in methanol medium after derivatization in ACN/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (3:2, v/v) mixed aprotic solvents containing 20 mM ammonium acetate. Compared with derivatization and separation in aqueous media, NACE-LIF procedure was proved to be superior, providing high sensitivity and short migration time. Under respective optimum conditions, the NACE procedure offered the best fluorescence response with 5-24 folds enhancement for catecholamines compared to aqueous procedures. In addition, the mechanisms of derivatization and separation in nonaqueous media were elucidated in detail.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis equipped with amperometric detection for analysis of chlorinated phenolic compounds

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) equipped with amperometric detection has been developed for separation and detection of an 11-member model mixture of chlorinated phenolic compounds. With triacetyl-beta-cyclodextrin (TACD) as a novel selectivity selector, acetonitrile proved to be an excellent solvent for this water-insoluble cyclodextrin derivative. Resolution of the analytes was achieved by using an optimized acetonitrile medium consisting of 500 mM acetic acid, 10 mM sodium acetate, 12 mM TACD and 50 mM tetrabutylammonium perchlorate. Separation of analytes was attributed to differential electrostatic and/or inductive interactions of the analytes with the TACD/TBA+ complex and charged tetrabutylammonium phases. A simple end-column amperometric detector (Pt vs. Ag/AgCl, poised at +1.6 V) in conjunction with NACE was used to analyze chlorophenols. Amperometric detection of such target compounds in acetonitrile-based media offers high sensitivity and alleviates electrode fouling compared to aqueous buffers. The detection limits obtained, ranging from 30 nM to 500 nM, are 3-8-fold lower than those obtained with aqueous buffers.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with alcoholic background electrolytes: separation efficiency under high electrical field strengths

The effect of high voltage on capillary electrophoresis (CE) separations of anionic analytes in nonaqueous separation media was investigated. Methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol were tested as background electrolyte (BGE) solvents. Experiments were carried out with a laboratory-built CE instrument suitable for high-voltage separations. Potentials up to 60 kV were applied with reversed polarity to generate unusually high field strengths (e.g. 2000 Vcm-1) and so achieve fast and efficient separations. Highest separation efficiencies were obtained with propanol as BGE solvent, and the dependency of the efficiency on the separation voltage was more or less linear. With the other alcohols, separation efficiency decreased or remained roughly constant with increasing absolute voltage. The separation efficiencies are discussed in terms of longitudinal diffusion, Joule heating, and analyte interaction with the capillary wall. Capillary preconditioning had a varied effect on the separations in the different BGEs as the BGE and the conditioning process affected the electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity and direction.     

Enantiomeric separations by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis

This paper reviews the recent advances in enantioseparations by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) and the effect of organic solvents on mobility of enantiomers, separation selectivity and resolution. In general, the enantioseparation systems in NACE are similar to those of aqueous capillary electrophoresis (CE) except pure organic solvents are used. The influence of important parameters such as concentration and type of chiral selectors, apparent pH, ionic strength, temperature, and control of electroosmotic flow is discussed. In addition, the reported applications of NACE separations of racemates are presented.

Nonaqueous media for separation of nonionic organic compounds by capillary electrophoresis

For the separation of neutral compounds by micellar electrokinetic chromatography, separations are usually carried out in predominantly aqueous solution in order to preserve the charged micelle necessary for the separation. We now show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds can be separated efficiently by capillary electrophoresis in pure methanol or in aqueous-organic mixtures containing a high percentage of methanol. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate was the preferred surfactant. The effects of pH, solvent composition, surfactant structure, and surfactant concentration on the separations were studied. Reproducible migration times and linear calibration plots were obtained.

Transient ITP in Nonaqueous CE by Introducing Ions with a Long Hydrophobic Chain as Terminating Ions

Transient isotachophoresis (tITP) is an efficient sample-preconcentration procedure for improving detection limits. An isotachophoretic state exists at the beginning of the procedure as a result of the introduction of both leading and terminating ions into the system. tITP has usually been applied in aqueous media, and hydrophilic compounds have been used as leading and terminating ions; this study, however, focused on nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) and use of ions with long hydrophobic chains as terminating ions for tITP. Because the long alkyl or aryl structures of these compounds can lead to low mobility in capillary electrophoresis, use of such ions as terminating ions in tITP can broaden the applicable range of the tITP procedure and achieve the ITP effect under more flexible running conditions.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in coated capillaries: an interesting alternative for proteomic applications

This work brings together some contributions for the use of nonaqueous media for proteomic analysis, for both capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation and the preparation of tryptic digests. First, a ternary nonaqueous buffer consisting of 60/30/10 v/v methanol/acetonitrile/acetic acid with 12.5 mmol/L ammonium acetate was optimized for CE separation of the tryptic digest of lysozyme. Lysozyme was chosen as a model system for the protein digestion, which has also been prepared in an organic-rich medium with methanol/50 mmol/L NH(4)HCO(3), pH 8.0 (60/40 v/v). The separation results were compared to in silico (PeptideCutter program) digestion conditions, and high-efficiency peak separation (18 peaks) was obtained in 20 min with an electric field of 350 V/cm. In addition, we have evaluated the stability of a coated capillary with poly-N,N-dimethylacrylamide (60/30 cm total/effective length and 75 microm ID) for over 100 runs of tryptic digest with the nonaqueous background electrolyte solvent system. The migration times for ten selected peptide peaks presented 3-7% relative standard deviation.
