Nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic separation of basic enantiomers using heptakis(2,3-dimethyl-6-sulfato)-beta-cyclodextrin.

The enantiomers of 40 basic analytes, mostly pharmaceuticals, were separated by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in acidic methanol background electrolytes using the sodium salt of heptakis(2,3-dimethyl-6-sulfato)-beta-cyclodextrin (HDMS-beta-CD). The effective mobilities, separation selectivities, and peak resolution values were determined as a function of the HDMS-beta-CD concentration in the 0-40 mM range and were found to follow the theoretical predictions of the charged resolving agent migration model (CHARM model). Fast, efficient enantiomer separations were achieved for a large number of both very hydrophobic and hydrophilic weak bases.     

A family of single-isomer,sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin chiral resolving agents for capillary electrophoresis: octa(6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin

The second member of the single-isomer, sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin family, the sodium salt of octa(6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin (OS) has been synthesized, characterized and used to separate the enantiomers of nonelectrolyte, acidic, basic, and ampholytic analytes by capillary electrophoresis in acidic aqueous background electrolytes. The anionic effective mobilities of the nonelectrolyte and anionic analytes increased with increasing concentration of OS. The effective mobilities of strongly complexing cationic analytes became anionic with very low OS concentrations and passed local anionic effective mobility maxima as the OS concentration, and along with it, the ionic strength, of the background electrolyte increased. The effective mobilities of the weakly binding cationic analytes became only slightly anionic at high OS concentration values and did not show the local anionic effective mobility maxima. For nonelectrolyte analytes, separation selectivities decreased with increasing OS concentration. For cationic analytes, separation selectivities were highest where the effective mobilities of the less mobile enantiomers approached zero. OS proved to be a broadly applicable chiral resolving agent.     

Heptakis(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin: a single isomer, 14-sulfated beta-cyclodextrin for use as a chiral resolving agent in capillary electrophoresis

The first single-isomer, 14-sulfated beta-cyclodextrin, the sodium salt of heptakis(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (HMdiSu) has been used to separate 24 pharmaceutical weak base enantiomers in pH 2.5 background electrolytes using capillary electrophoresis. For the weakly binding bases, the cationic effective mobilities decreased, approached zero, and then increased again. For the strongly binding bases, the cationic effective mobilities decreased, became anionic at very low concentrations of HMdiSu, passed an anionic mobility maximum, then decreased again as the HMdiSu concentration was increased. Viscosity corrections according to Walden's rule did not eliminate these unexpected effective mobility extrema. The mobility extrema were rationalized by extending the charged resolving agent migration model (CHARM model) to include ionic strength effects.     

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic separation of basic enantiomers using octakis(2,3-O-dimethyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin, a new, single-isomer chiral resolving agent

The enantiomers of 34 pharmaceutical weak-base analytes were separated by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis in acidic methanol background electrolytes using the sodium salt of the new, single-isomer chiral resolving agent, octakis(2,3-O-dimethyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin (ODMS). The effective mobilities, separation selectivities and peak resolution values of the weak-base analytes were determined as a function of the ODMS concentration in the 0-40 mM range and were found to follow the theoretical predictions of the charged resolving agent migration model (CHARM model) modified for ionic strength effects. Fast, efficient separations were achieved for both comparatively small and large enantiomers.     

Synthesis, analytical characterization and initial capillary electrophoretic use in an acidic background electrolyte of a new, single-isomer chiral resolving agent: heptakis(2-O-sulfo-3-O-methyl-6-O-acetyl)-β-cyclodextrin

The sodium salt of heptakis(2-O-sulfo-3-O-methyl-6-O-acetyl)cyclomaltoheptaose (HAMS), the first single-isomer sulfated β-CD that carries the sulfo group exclusively at the C2 position, has been synthesized. The purity of each synthetic intermediate and of the final product was determined by hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) and reversed-phase HPLC. The structural identity of each intermediate and of the final product was verified by 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF MS. HAMS was used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of a set of non-ionic and weak base analytes in pH 2.5 background electrolytes. Rapid separations with satisfactory peak resolution values were obtained for most enantiomers using low concentrations of HAMS. The effective mobilities and separation selectivities were dependent on the concentration of HAMS according to the predictions of the charged resolving agent migration model. The separation selectivities observed with HAMS, heptakis(2-O-methyl-3-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose and heptakis(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose were different for some of the analytes studied in detail.     

Separation selectivity patterns in the capillary electrophoretic separation of anionic enantiomers by octakis-6-sulfato-gamma-cyclodextrin

The capillary electrophoretic separation of anionic enantiomers with multiply-charged, single-isomer, anionic resolving agents was reexamined with the help of the charged resolving agent migration model. Three general model parameters were identified that influence the shape of the separation selectivity and enantiomer mobility difference curves: parameter b, the binding selectivity (K(RCD)/K(SCD)), parameter s, the size selectivity (micro0RCD/micro0SCD), and parameter a, the complexation-induced alteration of the analyte's mobility (micro0SCD/micro0). Function analysis of the model indicates that there are six unique separation selectivity vs. resolving agent concentration patterns: in two of the patterns, separation selectivity asymptotically increases to the limiting value set by parameter b; in two other patterns, separation selectivity passes a local maximum and asymptotically decreases to the limiting value set by parameter b; and in the last two patterns, separation selectivity passes a local maximum, decreases to unity, then, after reversal of the intrinsic migration order, asymptotically increases to the limiting value set by parameter b. Though the patterns with asymptotically increasing selectivities were observed in earlier work, this paper reports the first experimental verification of the existence of the local selectivity maximum during the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of several weak acids in high pH background electrolytes with octakis-6-sulfato-gamma-cyclodextrin as the resolving agent.     

Synthesis of mono-6-deoxy-6-N,N,N',N',N'-pentamethylethylenediammonio-cyclomaltoheptaose, a single-isomer, monosubstituted, permanently dicationic beta-CD and its use for enantiomer separations by CE

The dichloride salt of mono-6-deoxy-6-N,N,N',N',N'-pentamethylethylenediammonio-cyclomaltoheptaose (PEMEDA-BCD), the first single-isomer, monosubstituted, permanently dicationic beta-CD has been synthesized, analytically characterized, and used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of a group of analytes in acidic and basic BGEs. When the concentration of PEMEDA-BCD was changed in the BGEs, the resulting effective mobilities of the analytes and the respective separation selectivities followed the predictions of the ionic strength-corrected charged resolving agent migration model. Good separation selectivities and favorable normalized EOF mobilities allowed for the rapid, efficient separation of the enantiomers of anionic, weak acid and nonionic analytes in the low- and/or high-pH BGEs.     

Experimental verification of a predicted, hitherto unseen separation selectivity pattern in the nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic separation of weak base enantiomers by octakis (2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-gamma-cyclodextrin

The capillary electrophoretic separation of cationic enantiomers with single-isomer multivalent anionic resolving agents was reexamined with the help of the charged resolving agent migration model. Three general model parameters were identified that influence the shape of the separation selectivity and enantiomer mobility difference curves: parameter b, the binding selectivity (K(RCD)/K(SCD)), parameter s, the size selectivity (mu0(RCD)/mu0(SCD)), and parameter a, the complexation-induced alteration of the analyte's mobility (mu0(RCD)/mu0). In addition to the previously observed discontinuity in separation selectivity that occurs as mu(eff) of the less mobile enantiomer changes from cationic to anionic, a new feature, a separation selectivity maximum was predicted to occur in the resolving agent concentration range where both enantiomers migrate cationically provided that (i) K(RCD)/K(SCD) <1 and mu0(RCD)/mu0(SCD) >1 and (K(RCD)mu0(RCD))/(K(SCD)mu0(SCD)) > 1, or (ii) K(RCD)/K(SCD) >1 and mu0(RCD)/mu0(SCD) <1 and (K(RCD)mu0(RCD))/(K(SCD)mu0(SCD)) <1. This hitherto unseen separation selectivity pattern was experimentally verified during the nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of four weak base analytes in acidic methanol background electrolytes with octakis(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-gamma-cyclodextrin (ODAS-gammaCD) as resolving agent.

Single-isomer sulfated alpha-cyclodextrins for capillary electrophoresis. Part 2. Hexakis(6-O-sulfo)-alpha-cyclodextrin: synthesis, analytical characterization, and initial screening tests

The second member of the family of single-isomer sulfated alpha-cyclodextrins, the sodium salt of hexakis(6-O-sulfo)-alpha-cyclodextrin (HxS), has been synthesized, analytically characterized, and used as the resolving agent for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of nonionic, weak-acid and weak-base analytes present in our initial screening kit. HxS interacted less strongly with many of the analytes tested than the larger-ring analogs, heptakis(6-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (HS) and octakis(6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin (OS). For some of the analytes, the separation selectivities obtained with HxS were complementary to those observed with hexakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-alpha-cyclodextrin (HxDAS), HS, and OS. For all analytes, the effective mobilities and separation selectivities as a function of the background electrolyte concentration of HxS followed the trends that were found for HxDAS, HS, and OS.     

Synthesis of heptakis(2-O-methyl-3-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-cyclomaltoheptaose, a single-isomer, sulfated beta-cyclodextrin carrying nonidentical substituents at all the C2, C3, and C6 positions and its use for the capillary electrophoretic separation of enantiomers in acidic aqueous and methanolic background electrolytes

The sodium salt of heptakis(2-O-methyl-3-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose (HMAS), the first single-isomer, sulfated beta-cyclodextrin carrying nonidentical substituents at all of the C2, C3, and C6 positions, has been synthesized, analytically characterized, and used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of a group of 24 weak base pharmaceuticals in acidic aqueous and acidic methanolic background electrolytes. HMAS interacted more strongly with most of the analytes studied than heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose, but less strongly than heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose, the respective analogs with identical substituents at the C2 and C3 positions. The good separation selectivities and favorable normalized electroosmotic flow mobilities allowed for rapid, efficient separation of the enantiomers of 19 of the 24 weak base analytes in the aqueous and methanolic background electrolytes. The trends in the effective mobilities and separation selectivities as a function of the HMAS concentration closely followed the predictions of the ionic strength-corrected charged resolving agent migration model.     

Use of single-isomer, multiply charge chiral resolving agents for the continuous, preparative-scale electrophoretic separation of enantiomers based on the principle of equal-but-opposite analyte mobilities

A novel approach to continuous, preparative-scale electrophoretic enantiomer separations has been developed based on the observation that stable, equal-but-opposite effective mobilities can be created for the enantiomers of a single-charged analyte by complexing them with a single-isomer, multiply charged resolving agent, provided that the charge of the resolving agent is opposite in sign to that of the uncomplexed analyte enantiomers. When such an analyte-resolving agent system is fed into a continuous, free-flow electrophoretic apparatus, stable, steady-state operating conditions can be established which permit the continuous feeding of the racemic analyte and the collection of pure enantiomers at the opposite sides of the feed stream. This concept is demonstrated via the separation of the enantiomers of terbutaline using heptakis-6-sulfato beta-cyclodextrin as resolving agent, affording production rates as high as 2.8 mg/h in the general-purpose, continuous free-flow electrophoretic system, the Octopus.     

Non-aqueous capillary electrophoretic enantiomer separations using the tetrabutylammonium salt of heptakis(2,3-O-diacetyl-6-O-sulfo)-cyclomaltoheptaose, a single-isomer sulfated beta-cyclodextrin highly-soluble in organic solvents

The tetrabutylammonium salt of heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-cyclomaltoheptaose, a single-isomer sulfated beta-cyclodextrin that is adequately soluble in a number of protic and aprotic polar solvents was synthesized on the large scale and used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of weak bases in acidic acetonitrile background electrolytes. The effective mobilities and separation selectivities observed for these analytes followed trends similar to those found with other single-isomer sulfated cyclodextrins in acidic methanol background electrolytes. Enantiomer separations obtained with the tetrabutylammonium and sodium salts of heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-cyclomaltoheptaose were different indicating, for the first time, that selection of the counter ion of the single-isomer sulfated cyclodextrin is also of importance for the separation of enantiomers.     

Synthesis,analytical characterization and initial capillary electrophoretic use in acidic background electrolytes of a new,single-isomer chiral resolving agent: hexakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-alpha-cyclodextrin

The sodium salt of hexakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-alpha-CD (HxDAS), the first member of the family of single-isomer, fully sulfated alpha-CDs, has been synthesized and used for the initial capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of nonionic, weak acid, weak base, and ampholytic analytes. HxDAS complexes less strongly with many of the analytes tested than the analogous beta- and gamma-cyclodextrin derivatives, namely, heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (HDAS) and octakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin (ODAS). Nevertheless, it facilitated the separation of the enantiomers of a large number of weak electrolyte and nonelectrolyte analytes in acidic aqueous background electrolytes. For all analytes, the effective mobilities and separation selectivities as a function of the background electrolyte concentration of HxDAS followed the trends that were found for HDAS and ODAS.     

Use of full-column imaging capillary isoelectric focusing for the rapid determination of the operating conditions in the preparative-scale continuous free-flow isoelectric focusing separation of enantiomers

A rapid, simple method is proposed here for the identification of the experimental conditions that lead to satisfactory preparative-scale isoelectric focusing enantiomer separations in continuous free-flow electrophoretic units. The method first calls for the use of a commercially available, full-column imaging capillary electrophoretic system to find the background electrolyte composition that generates the largest pI difference between the bands of the enantiomers. The method then calls for the finding of the minimum residence time that permits full development of the pH gradient across the separation chamber of the continuous free-flow electrophoretic unit by measuring the pH in the sample-free carrier electrolyte fractions collected during these runs. Finally, the quality of the predicted preparative-scale separation is verified by analyzing the enantiomer-containing collected fractions by capillary electrophoresis using a 14-sulfated, single-isomer cyclodextrin as resolving agent. The pI difference values and production rate values observed in this work agree well with the literature values that were obtained by much more time-consuming methods.     

Capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of organophosphates with a phosphorus stereogenic center using the sodium salt of octakis(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin as resolving agent

The sodium salt of the single-isomer, chiral resolving agent, octakis(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin (ODAS-gammaCD) has been used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of alkylarylphosphates which carry a phosphorus-based stereogenic center. The effective mobilities and separation selectivities were measured at different ODAS-gammaCD and methanol concentrations to find the conditions under which the minor enantiomers could be adequately quantitated in samples obtained by chemical resolution of the racemic mixtures. This work extends the utility of ODAS-gammaCD to a hitherto unexplored field, the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of organophosphorus compounds.     

Simulation of the effects of complex‐formation equilibria in electrophoresis: III. Simultaneous effects of chiral selector concentration and background electrolyte pH

This paper describes the results of the second‐level testing of the simulation program Simul 5 Complex. We compare the published experimental results with the simulated migration behavior of the enantiomers at different pH and chiral selector concentration values and use the same optimization object function, separation selectivity, as the original papers. Simul 5 Complex proved to be a suitable tool for the prediction of the effective mobilities, separation selectivities, and migration order reversals in these pH‐dependent and CD concentration dependent enantiomer separations. In addition, by performing simulations of four different separations systems (both real and model systems), Simul 5 Complex revealed the existence of unexpected and hitherto unexplained electromigration dispersion effects that were caused by the complexation process itself and could significantly impair the quality of the separations.     

Optimisation of a Headspace Solid-Phase Micro- Extraction Procedure for the Determination of 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole and Various Related Compounds in Cork Washing Waste Water by Use of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

This paper reports the use of an anionic cyclodextrin, heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfato)-β-cyclodextrin (HDMS-β-CD), for chiral separations of pharmaceutical enantiomers by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE). Enantiomer resolution was affected mainly by HDMS-β-CD concentration and the acidity of the background electrolyte (BGE). The effects of capillary length and applied voltage on enantiomer resolution were also investigated. Results showed that in a methanol solution of 20 mM phosphoric acid, 10 mM sodium hydroxide, and 10 mM HDMS-β-CD, seven anticholinergic drugs were separated to baseline but no chiral separation was obtained for three other similar drugs. NACE is suitable for routine, rapid separation of the enantiomers of pharmaceutical compounds.     

Synthesis,analytical characterization and use of octakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin,a novel,single-isomer,chiral resolving agent in low-pH background electrolytes

The third member of the family of single-isomer, sulfated gamma-cyclodextrins, the sodium salt of octakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin has been synthesized, analytically characterized and used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of the enantiomers of nonionic, weak acid and weak base analytes in low-pH aqueous background electrolytes. Though octakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin complexes less strongly with many of the analytes tested than the other members of the single-isomer, 6-O-sulfo gamma-cyclodextrin family, such as octa(6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin and octakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)-gamma-cyclodextrin, it offers excellent separation selectivities, often complementary to those of both the single-isomer, 6-O-sulfo beta-cyclodextrins and 6-O-sulfo gamma-cyclodextrins. Rapid, efficient enantiomer separations were observed for a large number of structurally diverse analytes in acidic aqueous background electrolytes.     

Characterization of complexes between phenethylamine enantiomers and β‐cyclodextrin derivatives by capillary electrophoresis—Determination of binding constants and complex mobilities

To optimize chiral separation conditions and to improve the knowledge of enantioseparation, it is important to know the binding constants K between analytes and cyclodextrins and the electrophoretic mobilities of the temporarily formed analyte‐cyclodextrin‐complexes. K values for complexes between eight phenethylamine enantiomers, namely ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methylephedrine and norephedrine, and four different β‐cyclodextrin derivatives were determined by affinity capillary electrophoresis. The binding constants were calculated from the electrophoretic mobility values of the phenethylamine enantiomers at increasing concentrations of cyclodextrins in running buffer. Three different linear plotting methods (x ‐reciprocal, y ‐reciprocal, double reciprocal) and nonlinear regression were used for the determination of binding constants with β‐cyclodextrin, (2‐hydroxypropyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin, methyl‐β‐cyclodextrin and 6‐O‐α‐maltosyl‐β‐cyclodextrin. The cyclodextrin concentration in a 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 3.0 was varied from 0 to 12 mM. To investigate the influence of the binding constant values on the enantioseparation the observed electrophoretic selectivities were compared with the obtained K values and the calculated enantiomer‐cyclodextrin‐complex mobilities. The different electrophoretic mobilities of the temporarily formed complexes were crucial factors for the migration order and enantioseparation of ephedrine derivatives. To verify the apparent binding constants determined by capillary electrophoresis, a titration process using ephedrine enantiomers and β‐cyclodextrin was carried out. Furthermore, the isothermal titration calorimetry measurements gave information about the thermal properties of the complexes.
