A study of the interaction between enantiomers of zolmitriptan and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin by capillary electrophoresis

The enantioresolution of zolmitriptan was performed using cyclodextrin (CD)-modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) as the chiral selector. The influence of experimental conditions on the enantioseparation of zolmitriptan, such as pH, temperature, applied voltage, and concentrations of running electrolyte and CD, was systematically investigated, obtaining a baseline separation of two enantiomers by the use of a 25 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate (SDPH) running electrolyte (pH 2.4) containing 30 mM HP-β-CD at 15 °C. Binding constants for each enantiomer–HP-β-CD pair at different temperatures, as well as thermodynamic parameters for binding, were calculated. A nonlinear van’t Hoff plot was obtained, indicating that the thermodynamic parameters of complexation were temperature-dependent for zolmitriptan enantiomers. The significant contribution of the enthalpy difference to the Gibbs free energy change suggested a stereomeric barrier mechanism for chiral recognition. Figure Resolution of zolmitriptan enantiomers was achieved by using CD-modified CZE Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (doi:) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

The serum was injected without any treatment. The method compared well to high performance liquid chromatography. The mean of keppra in the serum of 35 patients was 25 mg/l (range 7-77 mg/l).     

Quantitative investigation of the interaction between granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and heparin by capillary zone electrophoresis

The interactions between granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and heparin or low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) were studied by CZE. It was found that GM-CSF could bind to both heparin and LMWH. The binding constants were calculated from Scatchard regression to be (6.5 +/- 0.8) x 10(5)/M and (11.2 +/- 0.7) x 10(5)/M, respectively. The specificity of the interaction between GM-CSF and heparin was also studied by employing another sulfated K carrageenan oligosaccharide as a control. Results showed that K carrageenan oligosaccharide could not interact with GM-CSF, indicating that GM-CSF could specifically interact with heparin.     

Characterization of the interaction between phospholipid and protein by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

We report an electrophoretic mobility shift-based method to study the interactions between phospholipids and proteins by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection. A fluorogenic dye, 3-(2-furoyl)quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (FQ), was used to label phosphatidylserine (PS). Then the FQ labeled PS (FQ-PS) was used as the fluorescent probe for monitoring the association between PS and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Two conjugates were observed to form between each PS species and BSA, indicating that two interactions exist between these PS species and BSA. We can also detect the competitive association with BSA between labeled PS and unlabeled PS. This method only needs a minute volume of sample. It is highly sensitive and can be used to detect the interaction between phospholipids and nanomolar concentrations of proteins, such as BSA.     

Investigation of the separability of thaumatin by capillary electrophoresis

The electrophoretic behaviour of the highly basic protein thaumatin was explored in strongly acid (pH 2) and mildly acid (pH 4.5) separation systems using both bare and coated fused silica capillaries. The separation selectivity for thaumatin I, thaumatin II, and for other sample constituents was insufficient for their baseline separation at pH 2 in an uncoated capillary because the separation efficiency was markedly lower than is common in the electrophoretic separations of proteins. A separation selectivity higher by up to one order of magnitude has been reached at pH 4.5. A pronounced asymmetry of zones, which impaired resolution at this pH, was effectively suppressed by coating of the capillary wall with a polymer. In fact, adsorption on the capillary coating always plays a contributory role whenever a good separation of thaumatin constituents is attained. This indicates that electrochromatographic separation systems based on capillaries coated with the layer of either cationic or hydrophilic uncharged polymer hold promise for the development of methods for thaumatin analysis.     

Investigation on the chiral recognition mechanism between verteporfin and cholate salts by capillary electrophoresis

In this article, capillary electrophoresis was applied to investigate the chiral recognition mechanism for the enantioseparation on a well‐known second‐generation photodynamic therapy drug of benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid ring A, that is, verteporfin. In our previous study, cholate salts have been studied as the chiral selectors, which can realize baseline separation of the four verteporfin isomers. Aiming to reveal the chiral recognition mechanism, the separation effect of several kinds of chiral selectors was discussed. According to the results and references, the chiral separation mechanism of this system was concluded: the analytes selectively combine with the chiral micelles, that is, dynamic H‐bonds interactions occur between the hydroxyl groups on the outer side of the cholate micelles and the ester/carboxy groups of the four isomers. In addition, the role of dimethyl formamide as an organic modifier was also researched, including reducing the effective mobility of the analytes and mobility of electroosmotic flow, and preventing them from adsorbing to the capillary wall and self‐aggregating of verteporfin, which are pretty beneficial for separation. The method used in this article provides a direct and reliable solution to study the mechanism of chiral separation.     

Application of liquid pre-column capillary electrophoresis technique to the study of interaction between drug enantiomers and human serum albumin

Based on the chiral separation of several basie drugs, dimetindene, tetryzoline, theodrenaline and verapamil, the liquid pre-colunm capillary electrophoresis (LPC-CE) technique was established. It was used to determine free concentrations of drug enantiomers in mixed solutions with human serum albumin (HSA). To prevent HSA entering the CE chiral separation zone, the mobility differences between HSA and drugs under a specific pH condition were employed in the LPC. Thus, the detection confusion caused by protein was totally avoided. Further study of binding constants determination and protein binding competitions was carried out. The study proves that the LPC technique could be used for complex media, particularly the matrix of protein coexisting with a variety of drugs.     

A study of the interaction between humic acids and acidic metabolites of phenanthrene by capillary electrophoresis

Humic acids (HA) are able to interact with a wide range of pollulants and can influence their solubility, transport and bioavailability. In order to study the interaction between polar aromatic hydrocarbons and these macromolecules, an affinity capillary electrophoretic method, the Hummel-Dreyer (HD) method in its modified version, has been used. Two acidic metabolites of phenanthrene: 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1-HNA) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DBA) were studied. The analysis for the binding studies was carried out by injecting a solution of HA in 25 mM ammonium hydrogen carbonate buffer (pH 9) into an uncoated fused-silica capillary, filled with buffer solutions of 1-HNA or 3,4-DBA in varying and increasing amounts. The results obtained indicate that both compounds bind to HA, as had been confirmed by dialysis experiments and literature data. CE proved to be a useful technique for investigating the link between xenobiotics and environmental macromolecules.     

Quantitative evaluation of the interaction between netropsin and double stranded oligodeoxynucleotides by microfabricated capillary array electrophoresis

Microfabricated capillary array electrophoresis (micro-CAE) was applied to study the interaction between minor groove binder netropsin and a non-selfcomplementary 12 mer double stranded oligodeoxynucleotide: d(CCCCTATACCGC).d(GCGGTATAGGGG). ESI-MS was used to provide an independent verification of the microchip electrophoresis derived data. Simultaneous parallel quantitative assay of multiple samples was performed in a single run (<50 s) on the self-developed micro-CAE device. The binding constant and stoichiometry calculated from Scatchard plot were (2.88 +/- 0.23)x10(5) M(-1) and 1:1, respectively. The values showed a good quantitative agreement with the results determined by ESI-MS and those using other methods reported in the literature.     

Cholesterol-rich membrane coatings for interaction studies in capillary electrophoresis: application to red blood cell lipid extracts

The purpose was to develop a stable biological membrane coating for CE useful for membrane interaction studies. The effect of cholesterol (chol) on the stability of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and sphingomyelin (SM) coatings was studied. In addition, a fused-silica capillary for CE was coated with human red blood cell (RBC) ghost lipids. Liposomes prepared of DPPC/SM with and without chol or RBC ghost lipids were flushed through the capillary and the stability of the coating was measured electrophoretically. Similar mixtures of DPPC/SM with and without chol were further studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The presence of phosphatidylcholine as a basic component in the coating solution of DPPC/SM/chol was found to be essential to achieve a good and stable coating. The results also confirmed the stability of coatings obtained with solutions of DPPC with 0-30 mol% of chol and SM in different ratios, which more closely resemble natural membranes. Finally, the electrophoretic measurements revealed that a stable coating is formed when capillaries are coated with liposomes of RBC ghost lipids.     

Evaluation of the interaction between sitagliptin and cyclodextrin derivatives by capillary electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

An aqueous capillary electrophoretic method was developed for chiral analysis of the novel anti-diabetic drug, sitagliptin. The acid-base profiling of the analyte was carried out using both capillary electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance pH titrations. The apparent complex stability and chiral separation properties were investigated with 30 different cyclodextrins under acidic conditions. The effect of concentration and pH of the BGE, temperature of the capillary, and the type and concentration of the chiral selector on the enantiomer resolution were thoroughly investigated. The effects of dual cyclodextrin systems on separation were also extensively studied. Complete separation of racemic sitagliptin with good resolution (R(S)=2.24) was achieved within a short time (15 min) with optimized parameters (10°C, pH=4.4, 40 mM phosphate buffer) of a sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (averaged degree of substitution ~4) and native β-cyclodextrin dual system. The averaged stoichiometry of the inclusion complex was determined using the Job plot method with both (1)H and (19)F NMR experiments and resulted in a 1:1 complex. The structure of the inclusion complex was elucidated using 2-D ROESY NMR experiments.     

Separation of drug stereoisomers by capillary electrophoresis with cyclodextrins

Using capillary electrophoresis, the enantiomers and isomers of several chiral drug molecules were resolved with cyclodextrins. Parameters affecting the resolution between (+)- and (−)-epinephrine, such as pH, cyclodextrin concentration, buffer concentration, and capillary dimensions were investigated. In addition to this, the effect of cyclodextrin type (β and several derivatized β-cyclodextrins) on resolution between stereoisomers of several chiral drug was also investigated. This study showed that the structural features of the molecule, the derivative groups on the cyclodextrin, the buffer composition and the capillary dimensions influence resolution. The chiral drugs used in this study were propranolol, atenolol, betaxolol, dipivefrin, AL03152 (an aldose reductase inhibitor), AL03363 (an oxidation product of AL03152) and the cis/trans isomers of pilocarpine.

The versatility of CE is beneficial for the study of many types of molecular interactions, because different experimental designs can be made to suit the characteristics of a particular interaction. A very versatile starting point is the preequilibration type of affinity CE that has been used extensively for characterizing biomolecular interactions in the last 15 years. We review this field here and include a comprehensive overview of the existing preincubation ACE modes including their advantages and limitations as well as the methodological developments and applications within the bioanalytical field.     

Investigation of iron oxide nanoparticles by capillary zone electrophoresis

The electrophoretic behavior of γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles was studied in aqueous solutions of Na₂SO₄-NaOH (pH 10.8) and of Na₂SO₄-Na₃cit (pH 7.1) as running electrolytes. Two electrophoretic zones (smooth and with spikes) due to colloidal and suspended particles of approximately the same size range were formed during the runs. The suspension stability and size distribution were shown to depend on the composition of electrolyte used for dispersing the solids. The effects of electric field strength, injection time, injection pressure as well as sodium citrate concentration were studied and particle electrophoretic mobilities were calculated. Electron micrographs of particles studied were obtained. Preparation of reference samples based on the colloidal γ-Fe₂O₃ has been discussed.     

Electrostatic interaction mechanism on the separation of phenols by non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis

The electrostatic interaction between additive and analyte is of great importance to non-aqueous cap- illary electrophoresis(NACE)separation.Three tetraalkylammonium bromides and acetonitrile were applied as additives and running solvent respectively.The effect of alkyl chain length and concentra- tion of additive on electrostatic interactions was investigated by the separation of phenols.The sepa- ration ability was found to increase with decreasing alkyl chain length of the additive,and the resolu- tion values were increased with increasing additive concentration.The separation was seriously dete- riorated after a little amount of water was added in the running solution.Furthermore,the electrostatic interaction is strong under the conditions of low electron cloud density,weak steric hindrance and multi-interaction sites.Thus,the separation result can be predicted by theoretical analysis,which is helpful for the separation of other substances in NACE based on electrostatic interaction.
