CZE Separation of New Drugs for Treatment of Leukemia

Imatinib, bosutinib, dasatinib, pazopanib, erlotinib, canertinib and vatalanib are new developed anticancer drugs, especially for treatment of leukemia. In this article, a fast and high throughput capillary zone electrophoresis method has been developed and validated for analysis of these new drugs in pharmaceutical formulas. The method can be easily utilized for determination of all the drugs in one run what is advantageous for the quality control in pharmaceutical industry because there is no need for changing and optimization of separation conditions when changing the analyte. The separation was performed using an uncoated fused silica capillary with 100 mmol L⁻¹ sodium phosphate buffer pH 2.75, voltage of 25 kV, hydrodynamic injection time of 5 s by 50 mbar, and detection at 214 nm. Under these conditions, the analysis took about 8 min. The validation of all the drugs resulted in recoveries in the range of 84–100 %. The method showed to be precise for all the drugs with RSDs of migration times lower than 0.9 % (interday precision). A very good linearity in the validated range (5–100 μg mL⁻¹) and the limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.5–2.0 (μg mL⁻¹) were achieved. Finally, we proved that the method is robust by the Youden’s test. Therefore, our method can be successfully applied for analysis of the real pharmaceutical samples.

     

Separation of multiphosphorylated peptide isomers by CZE

A separation of mono, doubly and triply phosphorylated isomers was developed with CZE with an aqueous electrolyte containing 3.9 mol/L formic acid and 30% v/v trifluoroethanol. Thus a mixture of ten phosphopeptides corresponding to the human tau sequence 226-240 was separated within 70 min. Although peptides with different phosphorylation degrees, i.e. 0-3 phosphate groups, were well separated, some of the phosphopeptide isomers containing one or two phosphate groups were only partially separated. The electrolyte system is compatible with both MALDI- and ESI-MS, allowing a direct coupling, and thus could have some interesting applications in proteomics.     

Separation of DNA‐containing organelles from Toxoplasma gondii by CZE

Toxoplasma gondii and other members of the family Apicomplexa have two organelles, in addition to the nucleus, that contain DNA. Herein is reported the separation of the DNA‐carrying organelles from T. gondii tachyzoites, i.e. the mitochondrion and the apicoplast, by CZE. The cells were stained with SYTO9, a dye that exhibit fluorescence when interacting with double stranded nucleic acids (e.g. DNA) and disrupted by nitrogen cavitation. Following careful removal of the heavier cellular material, the remaining lysate was injected on a CE instrument and the DNA‐containing organelles were detected by LIF. The mitochondrion had longer migration time than the apicoplast, and the migration times were comparable in the replicates. This method should potentially also work for other members of the Apicomplexa including Plasmodium falciparum.

Separation of aromatic sulphonic acids by CZE in coated and non‐coated capillaries

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), besides ion‐pairing mode HPLC and salting‐out HPLC, is well‐suited for the analysis of aromatic sulphonic acids widely used as intermediates in the production of synthetic dyes and optical brighteners. The separation selectivity in CZE of many aromatic acids, including positional isomers, can be controlled by the type and concentration of a cyclodextrin additive. The influence of the concentration of β‐cyclodextrin in the working electrolyte on the separation of the positional isomers of naphthalene (poly‐)sulphonic acids, and their amino‐ and hydroxy derivatives, by CZE was studied, both in non‐coated fused silica capillaries and in capillaries coated with polyacrylamide. The migration time scale was calibrated using 4‐alkylbenzenesulphonic acids as the calibration standards. Limiting mobilities of the free acid anions and of their complexes with β‐cyclodextrin were calculated and the effect of the inclusion guest‐host complex formation on the CZE separation was quantitatively characterized. The migration order in coated capillaries is reversed with respect to CZE in non‐coated fused silica capillaries, the separation selectivity is different and the separation of polysulphonic acids such as naphthalene tri‐ and tetrasulphonic acids is significantly accelerated.     

Principles for different modes of multiple-injection CZE

This paper introduces four different modes of multiple-injection CZE (MICZE). The validity of these MICZE models was evaluated by the experimental data. Prior to the application of MICZE, the electrophoretic conditions are developed in the single-injection mode by adjusting different experimental parameters such as pH, type and concentration of buffer additives and temperature. Based on the migration time difference (Deltatmig) between the analyte and the internal standard or injection marker, one or more MICZE modes can be employed. The injection marker is added to the sample to compensate for injection-volume fluctuations. The inter-plug distance is regulated by applying an electrical field over the capillary for a short period of time between each injection. After the final injection, the separation is completed by electrophoresis for a time period corresponding to that in the single-injection mode.

Crossed D-Optimal Experimental Design Methodology for the Chromatographic Separation of Antihypertensive Drugs

An efficient, isocratic, reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method was developed, optimized, and validated to separate nine antihypertensive drugs by experimental design methodology and the Crossed D-Optimal process. In order to find the most suitable separation conditions, twenty-three experiments were carried out, based on the simultaneous effects of three solvent (methanol, acetonitrile, and water) compositions in combination with different pH values of the mobile phase. The components were cross-combined with a pH factor (quadratic x quadratic process), whereas optimal adjusted models were used for the eight individually chosen responses. The optimal mobile phase consisted of methanol, acetonitrile, and 0.05 M aqueous ammonium acetate at pH 3.1 (18:26: 56 v/v/v, pH adjustment with formic acid). Analysis was carried out on a C₁₈ column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 40 °C using photodiode array detection at 242 nm. The system was found to produce sharp and well resolved peaks for all analytes while the retention times ranged from 2.3 to 31 min. The method was linear (r² > 0.999) and reliable since the accuracy (recovery = 100 ± 2.9) and the precision (relative standard deviation < 2%) met International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The technique was shown to be a useful tool for separating complex mixtures using experimental design methodology.     

Separation of crystal violet dyes and its application to pen ink analysis using CZE and MEKC methods

A crystal violet (CV) standard was irradiated under a Hg-Cd lamp for different exposure times to obtain various N-demethylation products. CZE effectively separated the photodegradation products based on molecular weight differences. In contrast, micellar EKC (MEKC), using SDS as the surfactant, was ineffective because the binding constants of the demethylation products and SDS were too close for separation. Nevertheless, MEKC analysis of ink has applications in forensic science because MEKC separated neutral components in the inks. Thus, MEKC can be used to obtain an ink "fingerprint" since each ink is unique depending on the location and time it was made. In contrast, CZE is useful for dating inks because CV is the primary ink dye and it photodegrades slowly.

Optimization of CZE for analysis of phytochemical bioactive compounds

Advantages of CZE such as high efficiency, low cost, short analysis time, and easy implementation result in its wide applications for analysis of phytochemical bioactive compounds (e.g. flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic acid, saponins, anthraquinones and coumarins). However, several aspects, including sample preparation, separation, and detection have significant effects on CZE analysis. Therefore, optimization of these procedures is necessary for development of the method. In this review, sample preparation such as extraction method and preconcentration, separation factors including buffer type, concentration and pH, additives, voltage and temperature, as well as detection, e.g. direct and indirect UV detection, LIF and MS were discussed for optimization of CZE analysis on phytochemical bioactive compounds. The optimized strategies were also reviewed.

Characterization of New Specific Copper Chelators as Potential Drugs for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

The non‐controlled redox‐active metal ions, especially copper, in the brain of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) should be considered at the origin of the intense oxidative damage in the AD brain. Several bis(8‐aminoquinoline) ligands, such as 1 and PA1637, are able to chelate Cu²⁺ with high affinity, and are specific chelators of copper with respect to iron and zinc. They are able to efficiently extract Cu²⁺ from a metal‐loaded amyloid. In addition, these tetradentate ligands are specific for the chelation of Cu²⁺ compared with Cu⁺. Consequently, the copper ion is easily released from the bis(8‐aminoquinoline) ligand under reductive conditions, and can be trapped again by a protein having some affinity for copper such as human serum albumin (HSA) proteins. In addition, the copper is not efficiently released from [Cu(CQ)₂] in reductive conditions. The catalytic production of H₂O₂ by [Cu²⁺‐Aβ_1?28]/ascorbate is inhibited in vitro by the bis(8‐aminoquinoline) 1 , suggesting that 1 should be able to play a protective role against oxidative damages induced by copper‐loaded amyloids.     

New pH-Sensitive Hydrogels for Oral Delivery of Hydrophobic Drugs

A series of acrylic copolymers containing silyl pendant groups was prepared by free radical cross-linking copolymerization. Me₃Si, Et₃Si, and Ph₃Si together with cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (CDA) were covalently linked with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). CDA linked to two HEMA group is the cross-linking agent (CA). Free radical cross-linking copolymerization of the methacrylic acid (MAA) and organosilyl monomers with two different molar ratios of CA was carried out at 60–70°C. The compositions of the cross-linked three-dimensional polymers were determined by FT-IR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature of the network polymers was determined calorimetrically. Equilibrium swelling studies were carried out in enzyme-free simulated gastric and intestinal fluids (SGF and SIF, respectively). A model hydrophobic drug, the steroid hormone estradiol, was entrapped in these gels, and the in vitro release profiles were established separately in both SGF (pH 1) and SIF (pH 7.4). Incorporation of silyl groups in a new macromolecule system modified network polymers for drug delivery.
