Characters of the Plateau of Methanol Increment in Frontal Analysis in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With insulin methanol-water,and the ion-pairing agent,hydrochloric acid and trifluroacetic acid(TEA),the character of the first plateau(FP)on the elution curve of frontal analysis in reversed phase liquid chromatography(RPLC)was investigated by on-line UV-spectrometry and identified with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectrometry and mass spectrometry.The profile of the FP is the same as that of a usual elution curve of methanol in frontal analysis(FA).When the insulin concentration was limited to a certain range,the height of the FP was found to be proportional to the insulin concentration in mobile phase and its length companying to shorten,The FP profile on the intersection of two tangents reflects the components of the microstructure in the depth direction of the bonded stationary phase layer and the desorption dynamics of the displaced components.The displaced methanol was quantitatively determined by NMR and on-line UV spectrometries.TFA with high UV absorbance can not be used as an ionpairing agent for the investigation of the FP in RPLC,but if can be used as a good marker to investigate the complicated transfer process of components in the stationary phase in RPLC.A stoichiometric displacement process between solute and solvent was proved to be valid in both usual and FA in RPLC.From the point of view of dynamics of mass transfer, the solutes can only contact to the surface of stationary phase in usual RPLC,while solute can penetrate into it in FA of RPLC.The solvation of insulin in methanol and water solution as an example indicating the usage of the FP in the FA was also investigated in this paper.

A Direct Evidence of Stoichiometric Displacement between Insulin and Methanol in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

Ｗith four kinds of mobile phases,methanol-water,ethanol-water,2-propanol and acetonitrile-water(all containing 0.1％rifluroacetic acid),the displacement between solute and solvent in RPLC was proved to be universal in frontal analysls(FA).Based on the measured Z value in usual RPLC to be a constant and the quantitative determination of methanol increment in mobile phase in FA,the stoichiometric displacement(SD)between insulin and methanol was directly proved by the experiment.The SD was also proved to occur only on about the one-fourth of the maximum amount of adsorbed methanol in the bonded phase layer(BPL)without any dynamic problem of mass transfer,while in FA,the SD firstly occurs on the surface of the BPL and then gradually sinks into the deeper sites companied with a dynamic problem.Although the displaces soplvent by the same solute is less in the former case,the SD is independent of how deep of the solute enters the BPL.In addition,the adsorbed amount of solute on and adsorbent not only depends on the numbers of the adsorbed layer on the adsorbent surface,but also on the extent of the complete removal of the displace able solvent in the BPL.The pyhsical fundamental of the SD and the methodoloby for investigation were also discussed.     

An Integrated Theory of Adsorption and Partition Mechanism and Eash Contribution to Solute Retention in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With the combination of the the stoichiometric displacement model for retention (SDM-R) in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and the stoichiometric displacement model for adsorption (SDM-A) in physical chemistry,the total number of moles of the re-solvated methanol of stationary phase side.nr,and that of solute side in the mobile phase,q,corresponding the one mole of the desorbing solute,were separately determined and referred as the characterization parameters of the contributions of the adsorption mechanism and partition mechanism to the solute retention,respectively.A chromatographic system of insulin,using mobile phase consisting of the pseudo-homologue of alcohols(methanol,ethanol and 2-propanol)-water and trifluoroacetic acid was employed.The maximum number of the methanol layers on the stationary phase surface was found to be 10.6,only 3 of which being valid in usual RPLC,traditionally referred as a volume process in partition mechanism.However,it still follows the SDM-R.Both of q and nr of insulin were found not to be zero,indicating that the retention mechanism of insulin is a mixed mode of partition mechanism and adsorption mechanism.When methanol is used as the organic modifier,the ratio of q/nr was 1.13,indicating the contribution to insulin retention due to partition mechanism being a bit greater than that due to adsorption mechanism.A linear relationship between q,or nr and the carbon number of the pseudo-homologue in the mobile phase was also found.As a methodology for investigating the retention mechanism retention and behavior of biopolymers.a homologue of organic solvents as the organic modifier in mobile phase has also been explored.

环孢素A在反相液相色谱中的吸附行为及分离纯化北大核心CSCD

环孢素A(cyclosporine A,CsA)是由11个氨基酸组成的中性环状多肽,是临床拮抗器官和组织移植后排异反应的首选药物。高效液相色谱法广泛应用于CsA的分离分析,开展CsA色谱行为的研究是使用制备高效液相色谱纯化CsA的关键。该文首先在C18固定相上比较了CsA在甲醇-水和乙腈-水两种流动相体系中的保留行为,结果表明其保留时间对有机相比例变化比较敏感。控制甲醇比例在84%~88%,或者乙腈比例在75%~85%,CsA的保留因子(k)在3~7范围内。考察了上样量对CsA峰形的影响。随着上样量增加,在两种流动相体系中,CsA的峰形都由对称开始变得拖尾,保留时间前移。因此在进行CsA纯化时,需要特别注意前杂的去除情况。然后采用吸附等温线描述CsA的保留行为,当流动相中CsA的质量浓度较低时,有机相比例对溶质在固定相上的吸附量影响并不明显。随着溶质的质量浓度增加至0.5 g/L以上,有机相比例降低有助于提高CsA在固定相上的吸附量。和甲醇-水体系相比,在乙腈-水体系中固定相对溶质有更大的吸附容量。用模型对CsA的等温吸附曲线拟合,在甲醇-水体系中符合Langmuir模型,在乙腈-水体系中为Moreau模型。由模型参数可知在两种体系下,CsA在C18固定相上均为单层吸附,区别在于乙腈-水体系中CsA会产生较大的分子间作用力。最后,实验采用0~60 min 65%~75%乙腈、60~80 min 75%乙腈的条件开展了环孢素A纯化的探索实验,可将CsA的杂质控制在0.2%以下。本研究结果对采用制备高效液相色谱纯化CsA具有指导意义。     

液相色谱梯度洗脱中的谱带压缩效应

谱带压缩效应是梯度洗脱区别于等度洗脱的重要特征。经典的范德姆特(van Deemter)理论塔板高度方程基于等度洗脱推导得到,因此不能对谱带压缩效应进行描述。在梯度洗脱中,保留因子(k)会随流动相组成(φ)的改变而发生变化,这就使得对梯度洗脱机理的研究要比等度洗脱复杂许多。该文对近10年来谱带压缩效应的研究进展,特别是溶剂强度模型(即描述ln k与φ关系的数学表达式)的非线性特征对谱带压缩因子(G)的影响进行了述评,指出为了更好地认识谱带压缩效应需要将这种非线性因素考虑在内。     

在脂肪酸-水流动相中小分子在反相高效液相色谱中的保留表征

在反相液相色谱(RPLC)中用Snyder经验议程和计量置换保留模型(SDM-R)中的参数对深质为脂肪醇同系物,流动相为脂肪酸同系物时深质的保留行为进行了研究,结果表明用SDM-R参数具有明显的优越性,另外,由于用Snyder经验公式中二参数之间的作园无法准确求得斜率,且其不具有明确的物理意义,而由SDM-R二参数作图,不但能准确求得斜率j(与1mol溶剂和固相结合能有关的常数),而且j具有明确的物理意义并符合碳数规律,所以,参数j有可能用于RPLC中表征深剂强度,由此得出,在RPLC中,对同一置换剂面言,随同系物溶质的Z(1mol深剂化深质被深剂化固定相吸附时,从二接解面释放出的置换剂分子数)和logI(与1mol深质和固定相亲和势有关的常数)值增大,它们的保留时间也增大,对同一深质而言,随着在同系物置换剂中碳链的增长,Z和logI值的减小,它的保留时间也缩短,同时还可得出,随着同系物置换剂j值的减小,它们的洗脱能力也增强.

Effect of the endcapping of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography adsorbents on the adsorption isotherm

The retention mechanisms of n-propylbenzoate, 4-t ert-butylphenol, and caffeine on the endcapped Symmetry-C(18) and the non-endcapped Resolve-C(18) are compared. The adsorption isotherms were measured by frontal analysis (FA), using as the mobile phase mixtures of methanol or acetonitrile and water of various compositions. The isotherm data were modeled and the adsorption energy distributions calculated. The surface heterogeneity increases faster with decreasing methanol concentration on the non-endcapped than on the endcapped adsorbent. For instance, for methanol concentrations exceeding 30% (v/v), the adsorption of caffeine is accounted for by assuming three and two different types of adsorption sites on Resolve-C(18) and Symmetry-C(18), respectively. This is explained by the effect of the mobile phase composition on the structure of the C(18)-bonded layer. The bare surface of bonded silica appears more accessible to solute molecules at high water contents in the mobile phase. On the other hand, replacing methanol by a stronger organic modifier like acetonitrile dampens the differences between non-endcapped and endcapped stationary phase and decreases the degree of surface heterogeneity of the adsorbent. For instance, at acetonitrile concentrations exceeding 20%, the surface appears nearly homogeneous for the adsorption of caffeine.

Adsorption of Methanol From the Liquid Mobile Phase on the Column Packing Surface

The adsorption isotherms of methanol in water solutions which were used as mobile phase in RP HPLC on adsorbents modified with dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane were measured. On the basis of these isotherms the chemical composition of the stationary phase as a function of the mobile phase concentration was determined. The influence of both those phases on retention factors k′ of alkyl derivatives of benzene was discussed. It was stated that k′ of benzene and its derivatives decreases with the various rate together with the increase of the methanol concentration in both phases. Quotient of volume coefficient corresponding to a unit of adsorbed methanol (logk′/n^s _Me) decreases linearly. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Critical contribution of nonlinear chromatography to the understanding of retention mechanism in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

The retention of most compounds in RPLC proceeds through a combination of several independent mechanisms. We review a series of recent studies made on the behavior of several commercial C18-bonded stationary phases and of the complex, mixed retention mechanisms that were observed in RPLC. These studies are essentially based on the acquisition of adsorption isotherm data, on the modeling, and on the interpretation of these data. Because linear chromatography deals only with the initial slope of the global, overall, or apparent isotherm, it is unable fully to describe the complete adsorption mechanism. It cannot even afford clues as to the existence of several overlaid retention mechanisms. More specifically, it cannot account for the consequences of the surface heterogeneity of the packing material. The acquisition of equilibrium data in a wide concentration range is required for this purpose. Frontal analysis (FA) of selected probes gives data that can be modeled into equilibrium isotherms of these probes and that can also be used to calculate their adsorption or affinity energy distribution (AED). The combination of these data, the detailed study of the best constants of the isotherm model, the determination of the influence of experimental parameters (e.g., buffer pH and pI, temperature) on the isotherm constants provide important clues regarding the heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface and the main properties of the adsorption mechanisms. The comparison of similar data obtained for the adsorption of neutral and ionizable compounds, treated with the same approach, and the investigation of the influence on the thermodynamics of phase equilibrium of the experimental conditions (temperature, average pressure, mobile phase composition, nature of the organic modifier, and, for ionizable compounds, of the ionic strength, the nature, the concentration of the buffer, and its pH) brings further information. This review provides original conclusions regarding retention mechanisms in RPLC.

A simple method for measuring excess adsorption isotherms of organic eluent components on reversed‐phase packing materials

A simple frontal analysis method has been developed for the reliable measurement of excess adsorption isotherms of an organic component on reversed‐phase adsorbents in a series of programmed concentration steps. In the present method, a peak, which is produced by refractive index change in column eluate, is detected at 589 nm; it represents the elution volume of the boundary. The method is applied to the measurement of the excess adsorption isotherms of organic eluent components from water on commercially available reversed‐phase stationary phases. The results are in good agreement with the previously reported isotherms. We also measure the excess adsorption isotherms of organic eluent components from solutions containing electrolytes. There are not any interference peaks on the elution traces. The method is thus reliably applicable to the evaluation of the excess adsorption of organic eluent components in practical systems.     

Adsorbed solution model for prediction of normal-phase chromatography process with varying composition of the mobile phase

The adsorbed solution model has been used to predict competitive adsorption equilibria of the solute and the active component of mobile phase in a normal-phase liquid chromatography system. The inputs to the calculations were the single adsorption isotherms accounting for energetic heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface and non-ideality of the mobile phase solution. The competitive adsorption model has been coupled with a model of the column dynamics and used for simulating of chromatography process at different mobile phase composition. The predictions have been verified by comparing the simulated and experimental chromatograms. The model allowed quantitative prediction of chromatography process on the basis of the pure-species adsorption isotherms.

Refolding and simultaneous purification of recombinant human proinsulin from inclusion bodies on protein‐folding liquid‐chromatography columns

Protein‐folding liquid chromatography (PFLC) is an effective and scalable method for protein renaturation with simultaneous purification. However, it has been a challenge to fully refold inclusion bodies in a PFLC column. In this work, refolding with simultaneous purification of recombinant human proinsulin (rhPI) from inclusion bodies from Escherichia coli were investigated using the surface of stationary phases in immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and high‐performance size‐exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). The results indicated that both the ligand structure on the surface of the stationary phase and the composition of the mobile phase (elution buffer) influenced refolding of rhPI. Under optimized chromatographic conditions, the mass recoveries of IMAC column and HPSEC column were 77.8 and 56.8% with purifies of 97.6 and 93.7%, respectively. These results also indicated that the IMAC column fails to refold rhPI, and the HPSEC column enables efficient refolding of rhPI with a low‐urea gradient‐elution method. The refolded rhPI was characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The molecular weight of the converted human insulin was further confirmed with SDS–18% PAGE, Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS) and the biological activity assay by HP‐RPLC.

Adsorption equilibria of proline in hydrophilic interaction chromatography

The adsorption behavior of proline under hydrophilic interaction chromatography conditions was investigated from six aqueous solutions of acetonitrile. Proline adsorption isotherms were recorded at each mobile phase composition by frontal analysis and inverse method. The BET model was found to be the best choice to describe the nonlinear behavior of proline adsorption under hydrophilic interaction chromatography conditions. The adsorption isotherm parameters were derived from two independent parameter estimation methods. The parameters derived from regression analysis of the frontal analysis data and from overloaded elution bands were found to be in good agreement with the excess isotherm of water. The mobile phase composition at which the maximum excess adsorption of water was observed corresponded to the maximum saturation capacity measured for proline.
