New derivatives of cyclodextrins as chiral selectors for the capillary electrophoretic separation of dichlorprop enantiomers

-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs), as well as some of their chemical derivatives, have been tested as chiral resolving agents for the capillary zone electrophoretic resolution of the racemic herbicide dichlorprop, (±)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid, of which only the (+)-isomer is herbicidally active. The complexation constants of the herbicide enantiomers with the cyclodextrin host molecules have been calculated from the electrophoretic migration time data at variable cyclodextrin concentration. The experimental results showed that several of the investigated CDs allowed dichlorprop enantiomer resolution. In particular, a newly synthesised ethylcarbonate derivative of β-CD showed the best enantiomer resolution properties among the tested compounds, while the remaining ones showed inferior or no performances at all. The calculated inclusion constants allowed identification of the best conditions for enantioresolution, and an explanation of the different complexation properties of the investigated compounds has been proposed on the basis of molecular modeling.     

Sample stacking in laboratory-on-a-chip devices

In this study, enantioseparations of five phenothiazines, including promethazine, ethopropazine, trimeprazine, methotrimeprazine, and thioridazine, in cyclodextrin (CD)-modified capillary zone electrophoresis were investigated using a phosphate buffer (40 mM) at pH 3.0. We focussed on the separation of phenothiazines with the use of CDs at low concentrations. Three different CDs, including β-CD, hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) and γ-CD, were chosen as chiral selectors. The results indicate that effective enantioseparation of phenothiazines, except for methotrimeprazine, is simultaneously achievable with addition of γ-CD at a concentration of 2.5–6.0 mM. The enantiomers of ethopropazine and trimeprazine are effectively separated with addition of HP-β-CD at low concentrations, in the range 0.4–6.0 mM, whereas those of promethazine and trimeprazine are baseline resolved with β-CD at much lower concentrations (0.02–3.0 mM) than with HP-β-CD. The results also confirm that the separation window is greatly enlarged at low CD concentrations. Moreover, the drastic variations of the electrophoretic mobility of phenothiazines as a function of CD concentration reveal that phenothiazines interact very strongly with CDs in the order γ-CD相似文献   

Effect of urea addition on chiral separation of dansylamino acids by capillary zone electrophoresis with cyclodextrins

The chiral separation ability of unmodified and di- and trimethylated -, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral selectors in capillary zone electrophoresis was investigated in the presence of urea derivatives using twelve dansylamino acids as model solutes. The addition of these urea derivatives (unsubstituted, methyl-, ethyl- and 1,3-dimethylureas) produced dramatic enhancement in the enantioselectivity of unmodified β-CD but also reduced the enantioselectivities of the other CDs.     

Enantioseparation of basic pharmaceutical compounds by capillary electrophoresis using sulfated cyclodextrins. Application to E-6006, a novel antidepressant

In this study, a chiral capillary electrophoresis method was optimized and validated for E-6006, a thienylpyrazolylethanamine derivative (pK_a 8.9). Enantioselectivity of neutral and anionic cyclodextrins (CDs) was evaluated at acid pH (3), obtaining cathodic and anodic migration, respectively. Hydroxypropyl-β-CD, carboxymethyl-β-CD and sulfobutyl ether-β-CD led to similar and partial selectivity, whereas sulfate (S)-β-CD produced baseline separation of the enantiomers. Four types of sulfated CDs were compared considering: cavity size (, β, γ) and random substitution versus unique derivative (S-β-CD, 6-heptakis-S-β-CD). Complete peak separation was obtained in all cases, but with different affinity and binding strength. Some factors that play a role in the complex formation include: position/region/degree of substitution, size of CD cavity and proportion of derivatives in mixtures. Enantioaffinity and enantioselectivity increased with the average of sulfate groups/mol. β Cavity size complexed better, although and γ cavities did not compromise separation. 6-Heptakis-S-β-CD had less affinity and separation efficiency, attributed to its lower degree and unique position of substitution. The method was optimized with S-β-CD (Aldrich, randomly substituted, 7–11 groups/mol). With this selector, the effect of pH value (3–9) was evaluated. Around pH 7 the cross-over point with change in the direction and order of migration was observed, associated with great enantioselectivity and long migration times. Fine tuning was done by adjusting the CD concentration and the buffer counterion. Definitive conditions were: uncoated silica capillary, 10 mM S-β-CD–25 mM sodium phosphate, pH 3. Validation parameters are included.     

Physicochemical Study of Ribavirin Complexes with α-, β- and γ-Cyclodextrins

The aim of this work was to characterise interactions between ribavirin (RBV) and native cyclodextrins (CDs). The extent of complexation in solution has been evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to characterise the solid state of all the binary systems. Complexation of RBV with α-, β-, and γ-CDs was proved by FT-IR, HPLC and thermal analysis. The 1:1 stoichiometry for the complexes was obtained by HPLC. The stability constants for RBV with α-, β- and γ-CD were determined to be 1493, 2606, and 1179 M⁻¹, respectively. Consequently β-CD was the most suitable of the three complexing agents since it showed the highest stability constant. RBV appears not included inside the cavity of the CD because H-3 and H-5 protons were not shifted in the presence of the molecule as proved by NMR. The 2D ROESY spectra did not show any dipolar proton interaction of the RBV with the CDs. Thus the complexation does not seem to be a host–guest inclusion complex but an external intermolecular complex. FT-IR spectral changes due to the RBV carboxamide group vibrations with the CDs confirm this association.     

Preparation and enantiomer separation behavior of selectively methylated β-cyclodextrin-bonded stationary phases for high performance chromatography

Native and three selectively methylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-bonded stationary phases without an unreacted spacer arm for liquid chromatography were prepared, where heptakis(2-O-methyl)-β-CD, heptakis(3-O-methyl)-β-CD and heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-CD were used as the methylated β-CDs. The enantiomer separation abilities of the resulting β-CD stationary phases for 12 pairs of dansylamino acid enantiomers and six pairs of N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amino acid methyl esters as model solutes were investigated. The effects of pH and methanol content of the mobile phase on the retention and resolution were examined to optimize the mobile phase conditions. The optimum resolution for the dansylamino acids was achieved using a mobile phase consisting of 1.0% triethylammonium acetate buffer (pH 5.0)–methanol (v/v 4/6) on the β-CD stationary phase. Heptakis(3-O-methyl)- and heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-CD-bonded stationary phases showed little enantiomer separation abilities for the dansylamino acids. The heptakis(2-O-methyl)-β-CD-bonded stationary phase exhibited no enantioselectivities for those solutes.

For the N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amino acid methyl esters, the optimum resolution was achieved using a mobile phase consisting of 1.0% triethylammonium acetate buffer (pH 5.0)–methanol (v/v 9/1) on a heptakis(2-O-methyl)-β-CD stationary phase. The heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-CD-bonded stationary phases exhibited no enantioselectivities for the N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amino acid methyl esters. β-CD and heptakis(3-O-methyl)-β-CD-bonded stationary phases had no enantiomer separation abilities for those solutes except for the N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl phenylalanine methyl ester.     

Spectral properties and supramolecular inclusion complex formation between 2-styrylbenzothiazolium dye and cyclodextrins

The effect of native and randomly methylated β-CDs on the absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectra of 2-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-benzothiazolium chloride (DHB) in aqueous buffer solutions with various pH values was studied. The inclusion with both CDs at pH 7.2 barely changed the UV spectra, whereas significant variations were produced in the emission spectra in all buffer solutions. In all cases the CDs increase guest fluorescence. The 1:1 stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes of the dye with both CDs was established according to the modified Benesi-Hildebrand method. Binding constant values were calculated using the iterative nonlinear least-squares regression approach. The pH of the solution and the type of the CD affected complex stability. The results indicate that native β-CD possesses better complexing ability towards DHB than randomly substituted β-CD and that the most stable inclusion complexes are formed in basic medium because of the structural changes in the guest molecule. In basic medium an attempt is made to interpret the proposed mechanism in terms of molecular rearrangement which take place as the dye penetrates the CD cavity.     

Synthesis of Mono-Amino Substituted γ-CD: Host–Guest Complexation and In Vitro Cytotoxicity Investigation

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides which can trap hydrophobic molecules and improve their chemical, physical, and biological properties. γ-CD showed the highest aqueous solubility with the largest cavity diameter among other CD types. The current study describes a direct and easy method for nucleophilic mono-aminos to be substituted with γ-CD and tested for their ability to host the guest curcumin (CUR) as a hydrophobic drug model. The mass spectrometry and NMR analyses showed the successful synthesis of three amino-modified γ-CDs: mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-cyclodextrine (γ-CD-NH₂), mono-6-deoxy-6-ethanolamine-γ-cyclodextrine (γ-CD-NHCH₂CH₂OH), and mono-6-deoxy-6-aminoethylamino)-γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD-NHCH₂CH₂NH₂). These three amino-modified γ-CDs were proven to be able to host CUR as native γ-CDs with formation constants equal to 6.70 ± 1.02, 5.85 ± 0.80, and 8.98 ± 0.90 mM⁻¹, respectively. Moreover, these amino-modified γ-CDs showed no significant toxicity against human dermal fibroblast cells. In conclusion, the current work describes a mono-substitution of amino-modified γ-CDs that can still host guests and showed low toxicity in human dermal fibroblasts cells. Therefore, the amino-modified γ-CDs can be used as a carrier host and be conjugated with a wide range of molecules for different biomedical applications, especially for active loading methods.

Separation of neutral and basic enantiomers by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography using anionic cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral pseudo-stationary phases

Separations of neutral and basic racemates were performed using five different anionic cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives as chiral selectors, viz. carboxymethylated β-CD, β-CD phosphate sodium salt, sulfobutyl ether β-CD sodium salt, carboxymethylated γ-CD, and γ-CD phosphate sodium salt. For the separation of neutral racemates, an untreated fused silica capillary was employed and various neutral racemates were successfully separated. Since the pH of the buffer affected the electroosmotic flow (EOF), the resolution was improved by changing the buffer pH. A polyacrylamide coated capillary was employed for the separation of basic racemates to suppress EOF and to prevent adsorption of cationic analyte on the capillary surface. By choosing an appropriate type and concentration of anionic CD, about 40 basic racemates were successfully separated. Some rough binding constants of basic analytes with an anionic β-CD were measured to discuss the optimum concentration of the CD. The migration direction was dependent on the binding constants and the concentration of the CD. The analyte strongly bound to the anionic CD migrated towards the anode but the weakly bound one moved towards the cathode. Anionic γ-CDs were also very useful for the separation of basic enantiomers. Five neutral CDs were employed as chiral selectors to compare selectivity between charged and neutral CDs, and eleven racemates could only be resolved using anionic CDs. The separation of some basic racemates in human plasma was also described. The direct injection of plasma samples was possible for some enantiomers that did not interact strongly with plasma proteins.

Capillary electrochromatographic separation of metal ion species with on-line detection by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

A bonded phase capillary column containing macrocyclic polyamine, [28]ane-N₆O₂ functional groups was used for the electrophoretic separation of arsenic, chromium and selenium species. A simple device interfacing this capillary electrochromatography (CEC) systems to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICPMS) is described. The dimension of the capillary column was 160 cm×100 μm i.d. To accommodate this electrophoretic separation, an auxiliary capillary was used with nitric acid (0.05 M) as makeup liquid. With the electrokinetic method at –20 kV, 20 s and a nebulizer gas flow rate of 1 l min⁻¹, the sample injected was analyzed with an applied potential of −20 kV. The background electrolyte buffer for the separation of CrO₄²⁻–Cr³⁺ was phosphate (20 mM, pH 6.5). That for HAsO₄²⁻–Ph₄As⁺ was pyromellitate (20 mM, pH 6.0) and for SeO₄²⁻–SeO₃²⁻ was acetate (20 mM, pH 6.0). The role of the buffer’s anion was also discussed. The separation efficiency of the bonded phase was compared with the bare fused silica. Concentration detection limits for these metal ions were in the low ppb range. In addition, the matrix effect of the established system with the bonded phase was found smaller than that with the bare fused silica.     

- and β-cyclodextrin complexes with n-alkyl carboxylic acids and n-alkyl p-hydroxy benzoates. A molecular mechanics study of 1:1 and 1:2 associations

Molecular mechanics (MM) methods were employed to evaluate stabilization upon formation of inclusion compounds between two different guest molecules and - and β-cyclodextrins (CDs) for two different stoichiometries 1:1 and 1:2. The two guest molecules studied were n-alkyl carboxylic acids and n-alkyl p-hydroxy benzoates with variety of chain lengths. The computed stability for the inclusion compounds between -CDs and n-alkyl carboxylic acids reproduced experimental data reported in the literature. The transition between 1:1/1:2 complexes occurred at an alkyl chain length of n_C=9. It was previously demonstrated by diffusion coefficients measures that a stable 1:2 stoichiometry inclusion compound could be formed between n-alkyl p-hydroxy benzoates and -CD for the chain length n_C>4. The computed results reproduced the experimental ones. The combination between OPLS and GB/SA resulted in better agreements with experiments than those obtained with MM2 and MM3.     

pH-dependent cyclodextrin capillary electrophoresis resolution of atropisomers

Five noncommercial and four commercially available cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives were tested as chiral auxiliaries for the capillary electrophoretic (CE) resolution of racemic 1,1'-bi-(2-naphthol) (BN), 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl hydrogenphosphate (BNHP), and 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (BNA) at pH 4.0, 6.5, and 8.6. The noncommercial CDs were ethyloxycarbonyl-gamma-CD (ethylcarbonate-gamma-CD), dimethylamino ethyloxycarbonyl-beta-CD, a mercaptosuccinic acid derivative of beta-CD, a maleic acid derivative of beta-CD and heptakis(6-deoxy-6-amino)-beta-CD derivative with one amino group on the C-6 carbon of each glucose unit. Except for the latter, the remaining derivatives were synthesized for this work. Also commercially available methyl-beta-CD, hydroxypropyl-beta-CD and the native beta- and gamma-CDs were examined. Among the nine CDs tested, the maleic acid derivative of beta-CD gave the most interesting performances, since it resolved the atropisomers of BNA and BNHP in the same electrophoretic run at pH 4.0. It resolved the BNA racemate also at pH 6.5. Both the negatively charged CD tested were found to resolve anionic BNHP enantiomers, while positively charged CDs did not with cationic BNA. Several of the CDs investigated in this work were found to resolve the BNHP racemate, although at nonoptimal concentration. None of the experimented CDs was found to resolve the electrically neutral BN atropisomers pair at the three pHs considered, while some among these nine, experimented in a previous work, did so at higher pH.     

Retention behaviour of peptides in capillary electrochromatography using an embedded ammonium in dodecacyl stationary phase

A highly water-soluble new cyclodextrin (CD) derivative 2-O-acetonyl-2-O-hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (2-AHP-beta-CD) was synthesized and tested as an effective chiral selector for the capillary zone electrophoretic resolution (Rs) of several basic and acidic analytes. The primary purpose of the research was to explore the capability of the 2-AHP-beta-CD as chiral selectors on comparison with the neutral CDs such as beta-CD, DM-beta-CD and HP-beta-CD. Substitution with 2-O-acetonyl-2-O-hydroxypropyl group at the secondary hydroxyl sites of the CD is aimed at influencing the magnitude and selectivity of analyte-CD interactions. The chiral resolution was strongly influenced by the concentration of the CDs and buffer pH. 2-AHP-beta-CD showed the best enantiomer resolution properties among the tested compounds, while the other CDs showed inferior or no performances at all.     

Analyses of a Mixture of Glucosyl-Cyclomaltoheptaoses Prepared on an Industrial Scale

ABSTRACT

A mixture of glucosyl-cyclomaltoheptaoses (β-cyclodextrins, βCDs) was prepared by glucoamylolysis of a mixture of maltosyl-βCDs which was produced on an industrial scale from maltose and β CD through the reverse action of Klebsiella pneumoniae pullulanase. Glucosyl-βCDs in the mixture were separated by HPLC on a reversed phase column and their molecular weights were measured by FAB-MS. In addition, the number of side-chains in each molecule was confirmed by methylation analysis and it was proved that the mixture comprised mainly of a monoglucosyl-βCD [G-β CD] and diglucosyl-β-CDs [(G)₂-βCDs], and as a minor component triglucosyl-β CDs [(G)₃-βCDs], and that G-, (G)₂-, and (G)₃-β CDs were produced in the ratios of 50%:45%:5%. The structures of three positional isomers of (G)₂-β CD were established by HPLC analysis of partial hydrolyzates, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and chemical synthesis. Four regioisomeric (G)₃-β CDs which could be isolated were characterized by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and characterization of CDs/Al2O3 nanofibers nanocomposite for Pb2+ ions adsorption and reuse for latent fingerprint detection

This study reports a new approach of preparation of carbon dots coated on aluminum oxide nanofibers (CDs/Al₂O₃NFs) nanocomposite and reusing the spent adsorbent of lead (Pb²⁺) ions loaded adsorbent (Pb²⁺-CDs/Al₂O₃NFs) nanocomposite for latent fingerprint detection (LFP) after removing Pb²⁺ ions from aqueous solution. CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite was prepared by using CDs and Al₂O₃NFs with adsorption processes. The prepared nanocomposite was then characterized by using UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–visible), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Fluorescence, X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The average size of the CDs was 51.18 nm. The synthesized CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite has proven to be a good adsorbent for Pb²⁺ ions removal from water with optimum pH 6, dosage 0. 2 g/L. The results were best described by the Freundlich Isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite showed the best removal of Pb²⁺ ions with q_m = (177. 83 mg/g), when compared to the previous reports. This adsorption followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model. ΔG and ΔH values indicated spontaneity and the endothermic nature of the adsorption process. CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite therefore showed potential as an effective adsorbent. The data were observed from adsorption–desorption after 6 cycles which showed good adsorption stability and re- usability of CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite. Furthermore, the spent adsorbent of Pb²⁺-CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite has proven to be sensitive and selective for LFP detection on various porous substrates. Hence Pb²⁺-CDs/Al₂O₃NFs nanocomposite can be reused as a good fingerprint labelling agent in LFP detection so as to avoid secondary environmental pollution by disposal of the spent adsorbent.     

Enantioseparation and quality control of biperiden in pharmaceutical formulations by capillary electrophoresis

An original capillary electrophoretic method has been developed and applied for the enantioselective analysis of the antiparkinson drug biperiden in pharmaceutical formulations, using a modified cyclodextrin as the chiral selector. Baseline enantioseparation of the racemic compound was achieved in less than 7 min using an uncoated fused silica capillary (50 μm i.d. and 48.5, 40.0 cm, total and effective length, respectively), filled with a background electrolyte consisting of a 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 3.5 supplemented with 3% (w/v) β-cyclodextrin sulphate and applying a voltage of 20 kV, reversed polarity. Samples were injected by pressure (50 mbar, 90 s) at the cathodic end of the capillary and detection wavelength was 195 nm (bandwidth: 10 nm). A simple and fast pre-treatment procedure allowed the complete extraction of the drug from commercial formulations (sustained release tablets and ampoules for injections) without any interference from the matrix. Good linearity was found in the 1–50 μg/mL concentration range; the limit of quantitation was 1 μg/mL and the limit of detection was 0.4 μg/mL. Precision and accuracy were good, with R.S.D. values always lower than 2.8% and a mean recovery value of 101.1%. The method was suitable for the quality control of biperiden in commercial formulations.     

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.     

Enantiomeric resolution of chiral imidazole derivatives using capillary electrophoresis with cyclodextrin-type buffer modifiers

Enantiomeric resolutions of some chiral pharmaceuticals containing the imidazole (1,3-diazole) moiety were carried out using capillary electrophoresis. Various native cyclodextrins (ga-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin) and derivatized cyclodextrins (hydroxypropyl-, and sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin) were used as chiral buffer modifiers. The effects of the cavity size, the structure and the charge of the selectors on the chiral recognition ability were evaluated. The influence of the type and concentration of the organic modifier on the separation of miconazole enantiomers and the pH of the run buffer on the separation of enilconazole enantiomers was also studied.
