Crystalline degradation products of vancomycin as chiral stationary phase in microcolumn liquid chromatography

The ability of crystalline degradation products (CDPs) of vancomycin as a chiral stationary phase was reported in a previous study for enantioselective separation of drugs, amino acids and agrochemical toxins by conventional LC column (250 x 4.6 mm). In this work, the potential of CDP of vancomycin for the enantiomeric separation in micro-LC (200 x 1 mm) has been studied. The obtained separation results are better than in our previous study with conventional LC columns. The enantiomers of D,L-phenylalanine, D,L-alanine, methyldopa, atropine and propranolol were used for this evaluation. Experiments have been carried out in a stainless steel tube that was packed with chiral silica particles of 3 and 12 microm diameters. Also, three different ratios of 3 and 12 microm silica particles were used for packing material of chiral columns and the effect on aspect ratio and resolving powers was compared.     

Chiral Separation of Duloxetine and Its R-Enantiomer by LC

The direct enantioseparation of duloxetine and its R-enantiomer was achieved by HPLC using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as a chiral selector and a vancomycin chiral stationary phase (Chirobiotic V). Operational parameters, such as the concentration of HP-β-CD, buffer pH, organic modifiers, temperature and flow rate, were varied in order to achieve the desired retention time and resolution. These two enantioseparation methods developed gave a baseline resolution of the enantiomers. Finally, the HPLC-CSP method was selected to determine the enantiomeric purity of duloxetine drug substance due to its much shorter analysis time and better resolution. The limit of detection of this method was 0.06 μg mL⁻¹.

Epimerization and hydrolysis of 3,6-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro[1,2,4]thiadiazino[6,5,4-hi]indole 1,1-dioxide

In this study, configurational and chemical stability of (R,R),(S,S),(R,S),(S,R)-3,6-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro[1,2,4]thiadiazino[6,5,4-hi]indole 1,1-dioxide (1) were investigated by dynamic and stopped-flow HPLC methods. Single epimeric mixtures (R,R),(R,S)-1 and (S,S),(S,R)-1 were obtained combining synthetic and chromatographic strategies. Separation of (R,R)-1 and (R,S)-1 was achieved by chiral chromatography and absolute configuration of eluted epimers has been assigned basing on molecular modelling calculations. Epimerization and hydrolysis of (R,R),(R,S)-1 have been studied by classical off-column, dynamic HPLC and stopped-flow HPLC methods. The influence of different parameters, such as temperature, pH and dielectric constant was evaluated. The data obtained indicate that (R,R),(R,S)-1 undergoes to a rapid epimerization in aqueous solvent and hydrolysis in acidic conditions. Moreover, epimerization and hydrolysis were investigated in presence of an artificial membrane and in physiological buffers (pH 2.2 and 7.0 at 37.5°C) to simulate in vivo conditions.     

The diverse roles of flavin coenzymes--nature's most versatile thespians

Flavin coenzymes play a variety of roles in biological systems. This Perspective highlights the chemical versatility of flavins by reviewing research on five flavoenzymes that have been studied in our laboratory. Each of the enzymes discussed in this review [the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACDs), CDP-6-deoxy-l-threo-d-glycero-4-hexulose-3-dehydrase reductase (E3), CDP-4-aceto-3,6-dideoxygalactose synthase (YerE), UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM), and type II isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI-2)] utilizes flavin in a distinct role. In particular, the catalytic mechanisms of two of these enzymes, UGM and IDI-2, may involve novel flavin chemistry.     

Direct separation of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds by reversed-phase chiral HPLC

Summary Direct separations of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds have been achieved by reversed-phase HPLC on the Chiralcel OD-R, a polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phase; the mobile phase was usually perchlorate solution supplemented with acetonitrile. Resolution of the enantiomers of cetirizine and related compounds was good. The effect of the acetonitrile content of the mobile phase was investigated, and the effect of the structure of the chiral compounds on their behavior on the Chiralcel OD-R column is discussed.     

Past,present, and future developments in enantioselective analysis using capillary electromigration techniques

Enantioseparation of chiral products has become increasingly important in a large diversity of academic and industrial applications. The separation of chiral compounds is inherently challenging and thus requires a suitable analytical technique that can achieve high resolution and sensitivity. In this context, CE has shown remarkable results so far. Chiral CE offers an orthogonal enantioselectivity and is typically considered less costly than chromatographic techniques, since only minute amounts of chiral selectors are needed. Several CE approaches have been developed for chiral analysis, including chiral EKC and chiral CEC. Enantioseparations by EKC benefit from the wide variety of possible pseudostationary phases that can be employed. Chiral CEC, on the other hand, combines chromatographic separation principles with the bulk fluid movement of CE, benefitting from reduced band broadening as compared to pressure-driven systems. Although UV detection is conventionally used for these approaches, MS can also be considered. CE-MS represents a promising alternative due to the increased sensitivity and selectivity, enabling the chiral analysis of complex samples. The potential contamination of the MS ion source in EKC-MS can be overcome using partial-filling and counter-migration techniques. However, chiral analysis using monolithic and open-tubular CEC-MS awaits additional method validation and a dedicated commercial interface. Further efforts in chiral CE are expected toward the improvement of existing techniques, the development of novel pseudostationary phases, and establishing the use of chiral ionic liquids, molecular imprinted polymers, and metal-organic frameworks. These developments will certainly foster the adoption of CE(-MS) as a well-established technique in routine chiral analysis.     

Characteristics and enantiomeric analysis of chiral pyrethroids

Pyrethroids are synthetic pesticides that originated from the modification of natural pyrethrins to improve their biological activity and stability. They are a family of chiral pesticides with a large number of stereoisomers. Enantiomers of synthetic pyretroids present different insecticidal activity, toxicity against aquatic invertebrates and persistence in the environment so the development of rapid and sensitive chiral methods for the determination of different enantiomers is necessary. Several techniques have been employed for this purpose including gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography or more recently capillary electrophoresis and sub or supercritical fluid chromatography. A general view on the different chiral separation methods applied to the analysis of pyrethroids and the most important information about these pesticides is provided in this review.     

Phosphorus-containing cyclodextrin polymers: metal cations and hydroxyapatite affinities

The aim of this study was to highlight the properties of novel phosphorus-containing β-cyclodextrin polymers (CDP) and mainly their dual complexing abilities toward hydrophobic guests and (bio)minerals. Affinity of CDP toward divalent metal cations, calcium, magnesium and zinc, has been investigated by isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC). The complexation constants K were around 1.1–6.2 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 and were in the order Ca²⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Zn²⁺. The K regular increase with the CDP molecular weights could be attributed to a cooperative binding of the cations by the monophosphate groups carried by the CDPs. Regarding their CD and phosphorus functionalities, the dual complexing abilities toward amphiphilic guests and divalent cations can occur independently as evidenced from ITC experiments performed in presence of both species. Finally, strong interactions between CDPs and hydroxyapatite have been highlighted by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry with adsorbed amount in the range of 2 mg/m². CDPs are thus promising materials endowed with dual functionalities which could serve in biomaterials to simultaneously entrap bioactive molecules and capture (bio)minerals.     

Affinity monolith chromatography: A review of general principles and recent developments

Affinity monolith chromatography (AMC) is a liquid chromatographic technique that utilizes a monolithic support with a biological ligand or related binding agent to isolate, enrich, or detect a target analyte in a complex matrix. The target-specific interaction exhibited by the binding agents makes AMC attractive for the separation or detection of a wide range of compounds. This article will review the basic principles of AMC and recent developments in this field. The supports used in AMC will be discussed, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, carbohydrate, and cryogel monoliths. Schemes for attaching binding agents to these monoliths will be examined as well, such as covalent immobilization, biospecific adsorption, entrapment, molecular imprinting, and coordination methods. An overview will then be given of binding agents that have recently been used in AMC, along with their applications. These applications will include bioaffinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography, immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography, and dye-ligand or biomimetic affinity chromatography. The use of AMC in chiral separations and biointeraction studies will also be discussed.     

Dynamic chromatography: A stochastic approach

During the chromatographic separation process, analyte reactions are often observed leading to band broadening and/or elution of peak clusters. For many different chemical compounds the reaction can be reduced to a simple isomerisation kinetic scheme where elution is the result of adsorption–desorption on the surface stationary phase coupled with a flipping two-level reaction system. In this paper, the chromatographic peak shape for a reacting analyte is calculated in frequency domain when the reaction follows a simple reversible first order scheme. Both reaction and dynamic chromatographic systems have been considered. The derived solutions are expressed in closed form in the Fourier domain. Several limit solutions obtained under conditions of very slow and moderately fast kinetics are exploited. The effects of both kinetics rate constants and retention time on the chromatographic peak shape are singled out.

Use of vancomycin chiral stationary phase for the enantiomeric resolution of basic and acidic compounds by nano-liquid chromatography

In this paper we studied the potentiality of nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) for the enantiomeric resolution of both basic and acidic compounds of pharmaceutical interest using a vancomycin modified silica stationary phase. Experiments were carried out in a fused silica capillary of 75 microm I.D. packed with chiral modified silica particles of 5 microm diameter, the detection, was done on-line at 195 nm. Enantiomeric resolution of alprenolol, atenolol, metoprolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, propranolol (basic compounds) and some acidic analytes, namely 2-[(5'-benzoyl-2'-hydroxy)phenyl]propionic acid (DF1738Y), 2-[(4'-benzoyloxy-2'-hydroxy)phenyl]propionic acid (DF1770Y), ketoprofen, indoprofen and suprofen was studied by nano-LC utilizing mobile phases containing methanol-acetonitrile-ammonium formate or acetate. The effect of mobile phase composition (buffer type and concentration, organic modifier type and concentration) on chiral resolution (Rs), retention factor (k) and retention time (tR) was also investigated. Good enantiomeric resolution was achieved for basic compounds utilizing the mobile phase containing 90% (MeCN-MeOH)/5% water/5% of 100 mM ammonium acetate pH 4.5. Acidic compounds such as DF1738Y and DF1770Y were better resolved at lower pH 3.5 while ketoprofen, indoprofen and suprofen exhibited the highest resolution at pH 4.5; in this case the mobile phase contained MeOH or MeCN (90%), 5% buffer and 5% of water. The nano-LC method was validated using R-(+)-propranolol as an internal standard finding good repeatability, detection limit, correlation coefficient and recovery and applied to the assay of a pharmaceutical formulation containing a racemic mixture of metoprolol.     

Effect of Chiral Additives in the Preparation of Cellulose-Based Chiral Stationary Phases in HPLC, and Effect on Enantiomer Resolution

Chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) have been prepared by coating silica gel with cellulose tribenzoate or cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The effect of chiral additives on preparation of the CSPs was studied with (+)-l-mandelic acid, (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol, (+)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol and (−)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethanol as chiral additives for cellulose tribenzoate and (−)-2-phenyl-1-propanol and (+)-phenylsuccinic acid as chiral additives for cellulose trisphenylcarbamate. The results showed that chiral recognition by these stationary phases was increased in comparison with the original CSPs, especially the resolution (R _S) obtained. The method can be used to improve the efficiency of enantiomer separation by silica gel stationary phases coated with polymers.

Effect of the structure of organic phosphonate compounds on chiral separations on derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phase

Summary The enantiomers of eightO,O-dialkyl-2-benzyloxycarbonylaminoarylmethyl phosphonates have been directly separated on a tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) cellulose column. The results are very different from those obtained by separation on anN-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine (DNBleu) column. The effect of mobile phase composition and column temperature on retention and enantioselectivity were investigated. The effect on chiral separation of the length of, and steric hindrance by, alkoxyl groups of the phosphonate ester and of the nature of the substitutentsp-Cl andp-H on the benzene ring attached to the chiral carbon atom are also discussed.     

Simultaneous Determination of the Purity and Potency of Vancomycin and Norvancomycin by HPLC

Vancomycin B and norvancomycin of chromatographic purity >99.0%, have been obtained by semi-preparative chromatography. Microbiological assays were used to measure the potency of the purified components, and the quantitative relationship between mass (mg) and potency (units) of pure vancomycin B and norvancomycin was determined. The values obtained were 1,123 units of vancomycin per milligram pure vancomycin B (C₆₆H₇₅Cl₂N₉O₂₄), with fiducial limits of error (FL) from 1,105 to 1,144 units, and 1,025 units of norvancomycin per milligram pure norvancomycin (C₆₅H₇₂Cl₂N₉O₂₄), with FL from 1,011 to 1,039 units. The potency (units mg⁻¹) of the main active component of house reference standards of vancomycin and norvancomycin could be determined by HPLC. Thus, in routine quality control, potency and purity could be assayed simultaneously by use of HPLC.     

Enantiomeric fraction determination of chiral drugs in environmental samples using chiral liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry

When it was recognized that chiral drug residues have stereospecific toxicity towards environmental organisms the attention given to enantiomeric fraction determination of chiral drugs in the environment increased. Among various analytical techniques, chiral liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) has been widely used due to its simplicity, wide applicability and high sensitivity. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview and comparison of the types of chiral stationary phases, elution modes and MS detection techniques employed and address the advances and limitations. The impact of the mobile phase composition on enantioseparation and MS detection are discussed based on the different methods developed. In addition, diverse applications for the enantiomeric fraction determination of chiral drugs in environmental matrices using chiral LC and MS are discussed in depth.     

Chiral Separation of Racemates of Drugs and Amino Acid Derivatives by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography on a Norvancomycin-Bonded Chiral Stationary Phase

A novel norvancomycin-bonded chiral stationary phase (NVC-CSP) has been synthesized by use of the chiral selector norvancomycin, which differs from vancomycin because of the presence of leucine rather N-methylleucine. The enantiomers of some neutral and basic chiral drugs, for example warfarin, benzoin, bendroflumethiazide, and praziquantel, were directly separated by high-performance liquid chromatography in the reversed-phase mode. The effect of conditions such as organic modifier concentration, column temperature, pH, and mobile phase flow rate on retention and enantioselectivity were investigated. It was shown that hydrophobic, steric, and ionic interactions were present between the analyte and the macrocycle in this chromatographic system. Vant Hoff plots afforded the thermodynamic data _R,SH° and _R,SS°; the negative values obtained indicated the process of enantiomer separation was enthalpy-controlled. In an attempt to improve the resolution of some very polar acidic compounds (dansyl-amino acids) norvancomycin was used as stationary phase chiral selector and chiral mobile-phase additive simultaneously, better results were obtained as the result of a synergistic effect. It was also shown experimentally that the newly synthesized NVC-CSP behaved somewhat differently from the earlier reported vancomycin-bonded CSP, probably because of the different structures of norvancomycin and vancomycin.
