Preparation of a Novel Amino-Phosphate Zwitterionic Stationary Phase for Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography

A new stationary phase which contains both negatively charged phosphate groups and positively charged amino groups was successfully synthesized by modification of amino-functionalized silica particles with trichlorophosphine oxide (POCl₃) for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). The composition of the surface grafts was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Various parameters, such as column temperature, water content, pH values and ionic strength of the mobile phase were investigated to study the retention mechanism. The results demonstrated that the stationary phase involved a complex retention process including surface adsorption, partitioning and electrostatic interactions. Under optimized conditions, the separation of nucleobases and nucleosides, water-soluble vitamins, organic acids on the novel stationary phase could be achieved in the HILIC mode.

     

A New Stationary Phase for Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography: Polyacrylate-Based Hydrophilic,Monosized-Porous Beads with Zwitterionic Molecular Brushes

Hydrophilic, polyacrylate-based, monosized-porous beads with zwitterionic molecular brushes were synthesized as a new stationary medium for hydrophilic interaction chromatography. Monosized-porous poly(glycerol-1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate-co-glycerol dimethacrylate), poly(GDGDA-co-GDMA), beads 5 μm in size were obtained by a staged-shape template polymerization. As an initiator for surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), bromine functionality was obtained on the beads by reacting their hydroxyl groups with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and α-bromoisobutyryl bromide, respectively. Zwitterionic molecular brushes on the hydrophilic poly(GDGDA-co-GDMA) beads were generated by SI-ATRP of a sulfobetaine monomer, [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (MESH). Poly(MESH)-grafted poly(GDGDA-co-GDMA), poly(MESH)g-poly(GDGDAco-GDMA), beads were slurry packed into the microbore columns with 2 mm i.d. and evaluated as stationary medium for the separation of organic acids, nucleosides and peptides using microbore columns in hydrophilic interaction chromatography with the plate numbers up to 30,000 plates m⁻¹.

Preparation and Evaluation of Poly-l-Lysine Stationary Phase for Hydrophilic Interaction/Reversed-Phase Mixed-Mode Chromatography

In this work, a poly-l-lysine-grafted stationary phase was synthesized by polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride of l-lysine initiated by 3-aminopropylated silica. The resulting material was characterized by FT-IR spectra, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, which clearly indicated that the new phase had been prepared successfully. The retention of polar solutes depending on acetonitrile content in mobile phase exhibited ??U-shaped?? curves, which was an indication of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)/reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mixed-mode retention behavior. The retention mechanisms in HILIC and RPLC modes also were investigated. Phenol compounds, aniline compounds and hydrophilic compounds were separated in RPLC or HILIC mode on the new stationary phase, respectively. This result shows that the new phase could be used for both RPLC and HILIC applications, providing greater flexibility for real sample analysis.

Separation of Tetracycline Antibiotics by Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography Using an Amino-Propyl Stationary Phase

In this work the potential of hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is explored for the analysis of tetracycline antibiotics. The choice of the polar stationary phase is first discussed and it is demonstrated that aminopropyl stationary phases lead to higher efficiencies and peak symmetry than bare silica ones. The influence of the composition of the mobile phase is studied next : the concentration of the weaker solvent (acetonitrile), the nature and concentration of the more polar solvent (water or methanol), pH, the nature and ionic strength of the buffer. It is shown that high efficiencies are reached only with a citrate buffer that impairs the interactions with the residual silanol groups whatever the mobile phase pH is. We demonstrate that the citrate buffer strongly interacts with the cationic moiety of the aminopropyl stationary phase and thus reduces the accessibility of silanols. The separation of oxytetracycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline is achieved in a few minutes at pH 3.5 or 5, with no peak tailing as usually observed in reversed phase liquid chromatography with an opposite elution order when compared with reversed phase liquid chromatography.     

Preparation of Cyclodextrin Type Stationary Phase Based on Graphene Oxide and Its Application in Enantioseparation and Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography

Graphene oxide (GO) was covalently coupled to the surface of amino silica gel by amide bond. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was further chemically bonded with GO to prepare a novel chiral stationary phase. The resulting material was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The separation of seven enantiomers was improved in varying degrees. Meanwhile, the stationary phase showed typical characteristics of hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), and four small nucleoside molecules were separated with the mobile phase of methanol-acetonitrile-water (45:45:10, V/V) in the HILIC mode. In addition, the separation mechanism of the stationary phase was further explored by studying the effects of mobile phase composition, temperature and pH value on the analyte retention. The low temperature was conducive to the separation of analytes at 20–60 °C. The addition of protonated solvent methanol significantly decreased the retention time of the four analytes. The change of pH affected the degree of protonation of the analyte, the interaction between analytes and the stationary phase, and retention time of analytes. The results showed that GO and β-CD played a synergistic effect in the chiral resolution of the chromatographic stationary phase. The retention of analytes in HILIC was attributed to their mixed-mode retention mechanisms including hydrophilic interaction, electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking and so on.

Electrochemical Determination of Synephrine by Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography Using a Zwitterionic Monolith Column

A sensitive method for the electrochemical determination of synephrine (SYN) by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has been developed. Optimal chromatographic separation and high sensitive determination by HILIC with electrochemical detection (HILIC‐ECD) was achieved using a sulfobetaine‐type zwitterionic monolith column (100×1.02 mm, i.d.), a mixture of 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 4) and acetonitrile (20 : 80, v/v) as mobile phase, and a glassy carbon working electrode which was applied with a potential at +1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The chromatographic peak height of SYN was proportional to the concentration from 5.0 µg/L to 1.0 mg/L (r=0.999). The detection limit of SYN (S/N=3) was 3.7 pg on the column. Moreover, the present HILIC‐ECD could be applied to the accurate and precise determination of SYN in Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that an ECD is one of useful detection methods applicable to HILIC.

Alendronate sodium is widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis and Paget’s disease. The HPLC method development for alendronate sodium, in particular, is challenging owing to the absence of chromophoric group and its high polarity.
