Liquid chromatographic resolution of gemifloxacin mesylate on a chiral stationary phase derived from crown ether

A new racemic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, gemifloxacin mesylate, has been successfully resolved on a chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Compared to the Crownpak CR(+) column, the CSP used in this study was more effective for the resolution of racemic gemifloxacin mesylate, especially in terms of analytical time. The resolution of gemifloxacin mesylate enantiomers on the CSP was found to be dependent on the type and content of organic and acidic modifiers in the aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature.     

三七素手性拆分方法的研究

使用气相色谱法和高效液相色谱法分离了三七素对映体,并探讨了影响液相色谱法分离效果的因素。结果表明,HPLC法利用手性固定相进行直接拆分,无法实现对映体的完全分离;GC法和HPLC的手性试剂衍生化法均可对三七素对映体进行较好的分离。但GC法由于衍生化过程中副产物的存在,干扰了对映体的准确定量。手性试剂衍生化HPLC法,以邻苯二甲醛、N-酰化-L-半胱氨酸为衍生化试剂,反应得到的三七素对映体的衍生物在ODS柱上分离良好,且方法简单、快速。     

High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of unusual alpha-amino acid analogues

The direct and indirect stereochemical resolution of the enantiomers of ring- and alpha-methyl-substituted phenylalanines and phenylalanine amides was attempted by high-performance liquid chromatographic methods. The direct separation was carried out on two chiral stationary phases, the crown-ether-based Crownpak CR(+), and the teicoplanin-based Chirobiotic T, while the indirect resolution was performed by applying pre-column derivatization with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GITC) and Nalpha-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alanine amide (Marfey's reagent, FDAA). The Chirobiotic T column was efficient in the separation of ring- and alpha-methyl-substituted phenylalanine analogues, but was ineffective for the amides of these analogues. The Crownpak CR(+) column separated the ring-substituted phenylalanines and amides, whereas the alpha-methylated analogues were coeluted. Of the two indirect methods, GITC derivatization seemed more effective than FDAA derivatization.     

2,2,2-三氟-1-(9-蒽基)乙醇对映体在涂敷型手性固定相上的拆分

用高效液相色谱法在涂敷１５％（Ｗｔ）三苯基氨基甲酸纤维素醌手性柱上,考察了洗脱液正己烷／醇（Ｖ／Ｖ）中醇对分离－２,２,２－三氟－１（９－蒽基）乙醇对映体的影响,初步认为,在对映体分离过程中,洗脱液中醇与手性固定相的ＮＨ和Ｃ＝Ｏ形成氢键作用,此过程与对映体和手性固定相的ＮＨ和Ｃ＝Ｏ所形成氢键作用相竞争;洗脱液中醇的结构不同之所以影响对映体的分离效果,还与洗脱中醇改变固定相中手性空穴的立体环境有关,     

A comparison of the direct and indirect LC methods for separating enantiomers of unusual glycine and alanine amino acid analogues

Summary Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of five glycine and twelve alanine analogues. The enantioselective separation involved two methods. The direct separations were performed on chiral stationary phases containing a macrocyclic glycopeptide antibiotic: teicoplanin (Chirobiotic T column), ristocetin A (Chirobiotic R column) or chiral crown ether (Crownpak CR(+) column). The indirect methods involved pre-column derivatization with the chiral derivatizing agents 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate andN-α-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (Marfey's reagent). The different methods were compared in systematic chromatographic examinations. The effects of organic modifier content, mobile phase composition, pH and flow rate on the separation were investigated.

HPLC of fluoroquinolone antibacterials using chiral stationary phase based on enantiomeric (3,3′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl)‐20‐crown‐6

A residual silanol group‐protecting chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on optically active (3,3′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl)‐20‐crown‐6 was successfully applied to the resolution of fluoroquinolone compounds including gemifloxacin mesylate. The chiral recognition ability of the residual silanol group‐protecting CSP was generally greater than that of the residual silanol group‐containing CSP. From these results, it was concluded that the simple protection of the residual silanol groups of the latter CSP with lipophilic n‐octyl groups can improve its chiral recognition ability for the resolution of racemic fluoroquinolone compounds. The chromatographic resolution behaviors were investigated as a function of the content and type of organic and acidic modifiers and the ammonium acetate concentration in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. Especially, the addition of ammonium acetate to the mobile phase was found to be a quite effective means of reducing the enantiomer retentions without sacrificing the chiral recognition efficiency of the CSP.     

醇改性剂对两种手性农药对映体拆分的影响

对两种手性农药马拉疏磷和粉唑醇进行了对映体的高效液相色谱手性拆分。使用纤维素-三（3,5-二甲基苯基氨基甲酸酯）手性固定相,流动相为正已烷,流动相中添加乙醇、丙醇、异丙醇、丁醇和异丁醇为改性剂,考察了各种醇含量对手性拆分的影响：实验结果显示,该固定相对两种手性农药都具有很好的分离效果。异丙醇、丁醇和异丁醇都适于作马拉疏磷对映体拆分的改性剂,而乙醇和丙醇的效果较差,对于粉唑醇,异丙醇改性剂的效果则相对较好。醇含量对拆分的影响趋势为：醇的含量减少会导致保留增强,分离效果增加。     

Chiral resolution of diphenylalanine by high-performance liquid chromatography on a crown-ether-based chiral stationary phase and by NMR spectroscopy

Summary The enantiomers of diphenylalanine (DPA) were well separated by chiral HPLC and NMR spectroscopy on the chiral stationary phase (CSP) derived from (18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid (18-C-6-TA). The chromatographic parameters such as separation factors and retention times were greatly influenced by the mobile phase conditions. The (+)-18-C-6-TA used in the CSP was also employed as a chiral solvating agent for the enantiodiscrimination of the DPA enantiomers by NMR spectroscopy. The proton of the DPA analyte showing the chemical shift nonequivalences was used in determining the enantiomeric composition of the analyte.     

Selectivity of amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) chiral stationary phase as a function of its structure altered by changing concentration of ethanol or 2-propanol mobile-phase modifier

In a previous publication, solid-state NMR data showed that the structure of Chiralpak AD chiral stationary phase (CSP) was altered by changing the concentration of ethanol or 2-propanol modifier in the chromatographic mobile phase. This present paper reports the effect of the CSP structural change on chiral selectivity alpha. The enantiomers of a series of compounds were chromatographed using ethanol or 2-propanol in various concentrations as mobile-phase modifier and the alpha values were determined. Changes of alpha were observed for some enantiomeric pairs when ethanol and 2-propanol concentrations were varied. These data correlate with previous findings on the structural changes of the CSP. Not every enantiomeric pair showed changes in alpha as the alcohol concentration was varied, indicating that the chiral selectivity depends not only on the CSP's structure, but also on the structures of the analytes.

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.     

New chiral crown ether stationary phase for the liquid chromatographic resolution of alpha-amino acid enantiomers

A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) for the liquid chromatographic separation of enantiomers was prepared by bonding a novel enantiopure (diphenyl-substituted 1,1'-binaphthyl) crown ether to 5 microm silica gel. The resulting CSP was applied to the separation of the enantiomers of various natural and unnatural alpha-amino acids. All alpha-amino acids tested were resolved very well on the new CSP, with the exception of proline, which does not contain a primary amino group. The resolution of alpha-amino acid enantiomers on this new CSP was found to be dependent on the type and amounts of organic and acidic modifiers, and on column temperature.

Liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of racemic amine using chiral crown ether stationary phase

Direct enantioseparation of racemic amine, amino-thiophene-2-yl-acetonitrile (TAN), on chiral crown ether stationary phase [Crownpak CR (+)] is described in this study. The elution behavior and the effect of acid additives on resolution of racemic amine, TAN, is intensely investigated. Moreover, the chiral recognition mechanism in this specific system is proposed based on computational methods with the density functional theory. Diastereomeric complexation of the ammonium ion of racemic amine inside the cavity of chiral crown ether appears essential for the chiral discrimination. The pH of the mobile phase containing acid additives also acts as an important factor for the chiral recognition.     

Enantiomeric resolution of new triazole compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography

Cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) was synthesized and coated on aminopropylsilica to prepare a chiral stationary phase (CSP). HPLC methods were developed for the direct enantioseparation of 12 chiral triazole compounds on the CSP. The separations were made using normal phase methodology with a mobile phase consisting of n-hexane-alcohol (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-propanol, and t-butanol) in various portions. The column temperatures were studied for the optimization of the resolutions. The effects of structural features of the solutes on the discrimination between the enantiomers were examined. Baseline separation was easily obtained in many cases.     

Preparation of a positively charged cellulose derivative chiral stationary phase with copolymerization reaction for capillary electrochromatographic separation of enantiomers

A positively charged chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared by chemically immobilizing cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate onto methacryloyldiethylenetriaminopropylated silica (MCDEAPS) via a radical copolymerization reaction. The prepared CSP was evaluated for enantiomer separation in nonaqueous capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Electroosmotic flow (EOF) generated on the prepared CSP could be significantly improved with introduction of positive charges into the CSP, and separation of enantiomers in CEC has been achieved with mobile phases of ethanol and hexane-ethanol, respectively. In addition, we investigated the solvent versatility of the immobilized CSP on enantioseparations in CEC and capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) due to the elimination of dissolution of chiral selector in a number of solvents. Chiral resolution of some enantiomers was improved by adopting tetrahydrofuran (THF) and chloroform as mobile-phase modifiers, respectively.     

Effect of the residual silanol group protection on the liquid chromatographic resolution of racemic primary amino compounds on a chiral stationary phase based on optically active (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6

A liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on (3,3'-diphenyl-1,1'-binaphthyl)-20-crown-6, which has been utilized in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols, was treated with excess of n-octyltriethoxysilane to prepare a new improved CSP. The residual silanol groups of the original CSP were protected by n-octyl groups in the new CSP. The chiral recognition ability of the new CSP was superior to that of the original CSP in the resolution of alpha-amino acids, amines and amino alcohols. Retention factors (k1) for the resolution of alpha-amino acids were lower on the new CSP than on the original CSP while those for the resolution of amines and amino alcohols were higher on the new CSP than on the original CSP. The improved chiral recognition ability of the new CSP and the retention behaviors of the two enantiomers on the new CSP have been rationalized to stem from the removal of the non-enantioselective interactions between the analytes and the residual silanol groups of the original CSP and the improved lipophilicity of the CSP.     

Chromatographic evaluation and comparison of three beta-cyclodextrin-based stationary phases by capillary liquid chromatography and pressure-assisted capillary electrochromatography

Enantiomer separations were performed on three beta-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phases (CSP) containing the pernaphthylcarbamoylated beta-cyclodextrin (CSP 1), peracetylated beta-cyclodextrin (CSP 2) and permethylated beta-cyclodextrin (CSP 3) as chiral selectors by capillary liquid chromatography and pressure-assisted capillary electrochromatography in this study. Triethylammonium acetate/MeOH or phosphate buffer/MeOH was used as the mobile phase. The experimental factors affecting chiral separations have been examined for each CSP, including pH of the buffers, methanol content and applied voltage. Under optimal separation conditions, a number of racemic compounds were resolved into their enantiomers on three cyclodextrin-based CSP. A comparative study on the performance of three CSP revealed the presence of carbonyl functional groups as well as aromatic rings in the cyclodextrin derivatives, enhanced the interaction between the analytes and CSP, and thus improved enantioselectivity of the CSP.     

Enantiomeric resolution of underivatized small peptides by HPLC with a chiral crown ether stationary phase

Factors influencing the stereoisomeric resolution of underivatized dipeptides and a representative tripeptide on Crownpak (CR) columns have been investigated. The elution order and relative retention suggest that a combination of chiral, steric, and hydrophobic interactions effects the extent of chiral recognition and the retention achieved during separations. Some dipeptides whose amine terminus is located three atoms from the asymmetric center (such as dipeptides of D ,L -glycine) were resolved, but the elution order was the opposite of that expected for the type of Crownpak column used (CR(+)). Peptides containing hydrophobic substituents were strongly retained, but their retention times could be significantly reduced, and detectability improved, by use of gradient elution. Analysis of a commercial sample of D ,L -leucine-D ,L -alanine revealed the stereoisomers to be present in an unexpected quantitative ratio and demonstrated the utility of these separations for quality assurance and quantitative analyses.
