Characterization of warfarin unusual peak profiles on oligoproline chiral high performance liquid chromatography columns

Unusual peak profiles of warfarin were characterized on two oligoproline chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The pattern of 1st peak (S(−)) broadening and the 2nd peak (R(+)) compression was observed under mobile phase of hexane (0.1% TFA)/2-propanol (IPA) on a triproline CSP 1, and with other alcohol modifier such as ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, and tert-butanol as well. Through analyzing system peak of additives, the unusual peak profile was interpreted by perturbation of TFA additive system peak. The unusual peak profile was also found in enantioseparation of coumachlor and on a covalently bonded doubly tethered diproline CSP 2. The pattern of 1st peak (S(−)) broadening and the 2nd peak (R(+)) compression can change to pattern of 1st peak compression and the 2nd peak broadening from 15 to 50 °C. Chiral separation of warfarin created nonlinear van’t Hoff plots on CSP. No peak broadening/compression were observed with methyl tertiary butyl ether or ethyl acetate as the modifier. The peak shapes of the two warfarin enantiomers can thus be tuned by varying alcohol concentration and column temperature. High separation factor and resolution may be carried out to tune the peak profiles into Langmuir/anti-Langmuir band-shape composition. Using none hydrogen donor modifier may avoid interference of the TFA system peak.     

Temperature effects on a doubly tethered diproline chiral stationary phase: Hold‐up volume,enantioselectivity and robustness

Effect of temperature on hold‐up volume, enantioselectivity and robustness of a novel doubly tethered diproline chiral stationary phase (CSP1) was studied. In‐column end‐capping of residual silanol was utilized as a tool to exhibit in situ change of CSP1. The hold‐up volume marker, 1,3,5‐tri‐tert‐butylbenzene, was observed to be weakly retained (<1 s ) on a 5 cm×4.6 mm chiral column, and its retention time was changed with the carrier solvent and column temperature. The apparent thermodynamic parameters of 1,3,5‐tri‐tert‐butylbenzene indicated an enthalpy‐driven retention process with the hexane/isopropanol mobile phase, while an entropy‐driven process with the hexane/methyl tert‐butyl ether mobile phase. The ΔΔH and ΔΔS values of chiral separation for the four probes including 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol and warfarin were negative on CSP1. Nonlinear van't Hoff plots were observed for some analytes before and after the end‐capping treatment. Depending on compound, end‐capping strengthened or weakened the enantioseparation. Moreover, the enantioselectivity of CSP1 was shown to be robust by testing with heating–cooling cycles and step‐temperature programs.     

Comparative Enantioseparation of Seven Amino Alcohols on Teicoplanin‐Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Abstract

The macrocyclic antibiotics represent a relatively new class of chiral selectors in separation science and teicoplanin‐based chiral stationary phases (CSP) have been used successfully in a number of applications in high‐performance liquid chromatography. In the present studies, we self‐prepared two bonded CSPs–teicoplanin (TE) and teicoplanin phenyl isocyanate (TE‐Phe). Seven amino alcohols, propranolol, bisoprolol fumarate, atenolol, salbutamol, isoproterenol, metoprolol, and labetalol were enantioseparated on both self‐made CSPs using methanol as mobile phase and acetic acid (HOAc) and triethylamine (TEA) as mobile phase additives. On both CSPs, the different enantioseparation behavior of analytes with different structure was compared. The influence of the concentration of mobile phase additives (HOAc and TEA) on the enantioseparation was investigated. In all conditions, the retention factors (k′) of seven analytes on TE‐Phe CSP were larger than that on TE CSP. However, the separation factors (α) and resolutions (Rs) on TE‐Phe CSP were smaller than that on TE CSP. The results indicated that the derivatized TE‐Phe CSP is not efficient as original teicoplanin CSP. Our observations also suggested that, for teicoplanin‐based CSPs, π‐π interactions and dipole‐dipole between solutes and CSPs mainly contribute to the retention of solutes on CSPs while hydrogen bonding and steric interactions play important roles in the chiral recognition for teicoplanin‐based CSPs.     

Preparation and evaluation of a chiral HPLC stationary phase based on cone calix[4]arene functionalized at the upper rim with l‐alanine units

Here we report a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) immobilized on silica gel based on cone calix[4]arene functionalized at the upper rim with two l ‐alanine units as new chiral selector that has been used in high‐performance liquid chromatography. The CSP was prepared by covalently bonding the allyl groups at the lower rim of calix[4]arene to silica gel by thiol‐ene click chemistry reaction. Elemental analysis of the CSP showed that 120 μmol of chiral selector bonded per gram of silica gel. 1‐Hexene was used for end‐capping of unreacted mercapto groups on silica gel. Since the CSP is chemically bonded to the silica, it can be used in the normal‐phase and reversed‐phase mode and with halogenated solvents as mobile phases, if desired. The chromatographic performance of the CSP was evaluated in the enantioseparation of the 3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl derivatives of some amino acids, diclofop‐methyl and dl ‐mandelic acid.     

Capillary electrochromatographic separation of enantiomers under aqueous mobile phases on a covalently bonded cellulose derivative chiral stationary phase

A chemically bonded cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared by a radical polymerization reaction. The prepared CSP was packed into fused-silica capillaries with inner diameter of 75 microm to perform enantiomer separations in CEC. The electrochromatographic behavior of the CSP was investigated. On the prepared CSP, high EOF could be generated under acidic mobile phases, which represented an advantage for the separation of acidic enantiomers. Several neutral, acidic, and basic enantiomers were resolved on the prepared CSP under aqueous mobile phases. The column efficiencies were between 20,000 and 100,000 plates/m, which were much higher than those of HPLC. In addition, it was observed that the separation of some enantiomers benefited from the adoption of THF as mobile phase modifier.     

Resolution of beta-amino acids on a high performance liquid chromatographic doubly tethered chiral stationary phase containing N-CH3 amide linkage based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

A doubly tethered chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing N-CH(3 )amide linkage based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was applied to the resolution of various beta-amino acids. The chiral recognition behaviors for the resolution of beta-amino acids on the doubly tethered CSP were consistent with those on the corresponding singly tethered CSP while the chiral recognition ability of the doubly tethered CSP was generally greater in terms of both the separation (alpha) and the resolution factors (R(S)) than that of the corresponding singly tethered CSP. From these results, it was concluded that attaching the second tethering group to silica gel through a carbon atom of the first tethering group of the CSP improves the chiral recognition ability for the resolution of beta-amino acids without any change in the chiral recognition mode. The retention factors (k(1)) on the doubly tethered CSP were larger than those on the corresponding singly tethered CSP and these retention factors were found to be controllable with the variation of the type and the content of the organic and/or acidic modifier in the aqueous mobile phase without significant change in the separation and the resolution factors.     

Enantioseparation of Novel Chiral Tetrahedral Clusters on an Amylosoe Tris-（3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate） Chiral Stationary Phase by Normal Phase HPLC

Amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC) coated on a kind of small particle silica gel was prepared. On this ADMPC chiral stationary phase (CSP), the direct enantiomeric separation of six novel chiral transition metal tetrahedral clusters has firstly been achieved using n-hexane as the mobile phase containing various alcohols as modifiers. The effect of mobile phase modifiers and the structural variation of the solutes on their retention factors (k‘) and resolutions (Rs) were investigated. The result suggests that not only the structure and concentration of alcohol in mobile phase, but also the structural differences in racemates can have a pronounced effect on enantiomeric separation. ADMPC-CSP is a suitable CSP for the optical resolution of chiral tetrahedral cluster by HPLC.     

HPLC separation of the enantiomers of racemic benzergoline derivatives on a chiral binaphthalene covalently bonded to silica gel

A novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from the atropisomeric enantiomer S-3,3′-dicarboxy-2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (S-DDBN) has been synthesized and its use for the separation of enantiomers demonstrated. The chiral selector is covalently bonded to amino-functionalized silica gel, thus enabling the use of alcohols as mobile phases. Good chiral discrimination was obtained for the pharmacologically interesting class of benzergoline derivatives which act as selective dopamine D₁ receptor agonists. This paper reports the successful separtion of fifteen structurally related benzergoline racemates with separation factors up to 3.5. The influence of small differences in molecular structure on chiral discrimination was examined.     

Preparation and evaluation of a doubly tethered chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

A new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared to enhance CSP stability as well as to take advantage of the tertiary amide linkage by bonding (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid to bis(3-aminopropyl)silica gel. The new CSP was quite effective in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, beta-amino acids, amino alcohols, and amines and the chromatographic resolution behaviors of the new CSP were exactly consistent with those of the corresponding singly tethered CSP containing N-CH3 tertiary amide linkage. Direct comparison between the stabilities of the new CSP and the corresponding singly tethered CSP containing N-CH3 tertiary amide linkage under harsh chromatographic conditions reveals that the new CSP is more stable than the latter.     

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.

Preparation and Evaluation of a Novel Cellulose Tris(N‐3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) Chiral Stationary Phase

A novel cellulose tris(N‐3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared by coating CDMPC on TiO₂/SiO₂, which was prepared by coating titania nanoparticles on silica through a self‐assemble technique. At first, 2‐hydroxyl‐phenyl acetonitrile and α‐phenylethanol were separated on this new CSP to evaluate the chiral separation ability. Then, two pesticides, matalaxyl and diclofop‐methyl were separated. The influence of the mobile phase composition on the enantioselectivity was discussed, and the repeatability and stability of the CSP were studied too.     

Preparation of a new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid and its application

A new doubly tethered chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was prepared by attaching the second tethering group to silica gel through a carbon atom of the first tethering group of the corresponding singly tethered CSP, which was previously developed in our laboratory. The new doubly tethered CSP was applied successfully to the resolution of various racemic alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols containing a primary amino group. In most cases, the chiral recognition efficiency of the new doubly tethered CSP was superior to that of the corresponding singly tethered one in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols. In the resolution of some racemic primary amino compounds, the new doubly tethered and the corresponding singly tethered CSPs were complementary with each other. The chiral resolution behaviors on the new doubly tethered CSP were examined with the variation of the type and content of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. The chiral resolution behaviors on the new doubly tethered CSP were generally quite similar to those on the corresponding singly tethered CSP. The stability of the new doubly tethered CSP was greater than that of the corresponding singly tethered CSP.

Preparation and evaluation of a deoxycholic‐calix[4]arene hybrid‐type receptor as a chiral stationary phase for HPLC

We report the synthesis and enantioseparation characteristics of two novel covalently immobilized deoxycholic acid derivatives as chiral stationary phases for high‐performance liquid chromatography. In the structure of the first stationary phase, the 3‐position of deoxycholic acid is substituted with a 3,5‐dinitrophenylcarbamoyl group and the second one has an additional calix[4]arene attached to the carboxylic group of the deoxycholic acid. The chromatographic performance of the stationary phases was evaluated with enantioseparation of N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)‐dl ‐leucine, N‐(3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl)‐dl ‐valine, omeprazole, diclofop‐methyl, dl ‐mandelic acid and (RS)‐pregabalin. Comparison of the performance characteristics of the prepared chiral stationary phases provided evidence for the active involvement of the calix[4]arene unit in the chiral recognition process. Both stationary phases are chemically bonded to the silica and can be used in both normal‐phase and reversed‐phase modes.     

In‐column preparation of a brush‐type chiral stationary phase using click chemistry and a silica monolith

Brush‐type chiral stationary phases (CSP) have been prepared both from a silica monolith and, separately, from 10 μm porous silica beads via a process of in‐column modification including attachment of the chiral selector via copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition. Azide functionalities were first introduced on the pore surface of each type of support by reaction with 3‐(azidopropyl)trimethoxysilane, followed by immobilization of a proline‐derived chiral selector containing an alkyne moiety. This functionalization reaction was carried out in dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper (I) iodide. The separation performance of these triazole linked stationary phases was demonstrated in enantioseparations of four model analytes, which afforded separation factors as high as 11.4.

A new single‐urea‐bound 3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamoylated β‐cyclodextrin chiral stationary phase and its enhanced separation performance in normal‐phase liquid chromatography

A new single‐urea‐bound chiral stationary phase based on 3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamoylated β‐cyclodextrin was prepared through the Staudinger reaction of mono (6^A‐azido‐6^A‐deoxy)‐per(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamoylated) β‐cyclodextrin and 3‐aminopropyl silica gel under CO₂ atmosphere. The new phase exhibited good enantioseparation performance for 33 analytes using normal‐phase HPLC conditions; 19 of them were baseline separated. Effects of structure of analytes, alcoholic modifiers, and acidic/basic additives on separation performances of this new cyclodextrin chiral stationary phase have been studied in detail. The results showed that the retention and resolution of acidic and basic analytes on the CSP were greatly affected by the additives. Peak symmetry for some analytes could be improved by simultaneously adding acidic and basic additives to the mobile phase. This work expands the potential applications of the cyclodextrin‐based chiral stationary phases in the normal‐phase HPLC.     

Preparation and evaluation of monodispersed,submicron, non‐porous silica particles functionalized with β‐CD derivatives for chiral‐pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Submicron, non‐porous, chiral silica stationary phase has been prepared by the immobilization of functionalized β‐CD derivatives to isocyanate‐modified silica via chemical reaction and applied to the pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) enantio‐separation of various chiral compounds. The submicron, non‐porous, cyclodextrin‐based chiral stationary phases (sub_μm‐CSP2) exhibited excellent chiral recognition of a wide range of analytes including clenbuterol hydrochloride, mexiletine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine maleate, esmolol hydrochloride, and metoprolol tartrate. The synthesized submicron particles were regularly spherical and uniformly non‐porous with an average diameter of around 800 nm and a mean pore size of less than 2 nm. The synthesized chiral stationary phase was packed into 10 cm × 100 μm id capillary columns. The sub_μm‐CSP2 column used in the pCEC system showed better separation of the racemates and at a higher rate compared to those used in the capillary liquid chromatography mode (cLC) system. The sub_μm‐CSP2 possessed high mechanical strength, high stereoselectivity, and long lifespan, demonstrating rapid enantio‐separation and good resolution of samples. The column provided an efficiency of up to 170 000 plates/m for n‐propylbenzene.
