Matrix effect on the enantiorecognition ability of adsorbents based on heptakis(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin

Four adsorbents were synthesized by immobilizing a chiral selector, heptakis(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin, on different silica matrices, such as LiChrosorb Si 100, 10 μm; Silasorb SPH Amin, 5 μm; Kromasil 100-5-Sil, 5 μm; and Kromasil 300-5-Sil, 5 μm. The surface of adsorbents was examined by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, and the structural properties of substrates and adsorbents were studied by electron microscopy. A matrix effect on the enantiorecognition ability of adsorbents was studied in the reversed-phase and polar-organic modes of high performance liquid chromatography using some amino acid derivatives (N-carbobenzyloxy-and tert-butoxycarbonyl-) and profens as examples. The adsorbent based on Kromasil 100-5-Sil possesses the best chromatographic properties. It was shown that the enantiomeric composition and the concentration of the active component in Ibuprofen can be determined.     

Dipyridine modified silica--a novel multi-interaction stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography

A novel multi-interaction stationary phase based on 4,4'-dipyridine modified silica was synthesized and characterized, by infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Mechanism involved in the chromatographic separation is the multi-interaction including π-π, hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, electrostatic and anion-exchange interactions. Based on these interactions, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenols were successfully separated respectively in reversed-phase chromatography; inorganic and organic anions were also separated individually in anion-exchange chromatography by using the same column. Furthermore, the simultaneous separation of neutral organics, inorganic and organic anions was obtained on this stationary phase with the appropriate mobile phase. Therefore, such stationary phase has the characteristics of multi-interaction mechanism and multi-modal separation, and has potential application on complex samples.     

Poly(1-allylimidazole)-grafted silica,a new specific stationary phase for reversed-phase and anion-exchange liquid chromatography

A new specific stationary phase based on poly(1-allylimidazole)-grafted silica has been synthesized and characterized, by infrared spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results of test showed that poly(1-allylimidazole) can effectively mask the residual silanol groups and reduce the adverse effect of residual silanol. Using this stationary phase, phenol compounds, aniline compounds, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were successfully separated with symmetric peak shapes in the reversed-phase chromatography. Inorganic anions (IO₃⁻, BrO₃⁻, Br⁻, NO₃⁻, I⁻, SCN⁻) were also separated completely in the anion-exchange chromatography using sodium chloride solution as the mobile phase. The effects of pH and the concentration of eluent on the separation of inorganic anions were studied. The separation mechanism appears to involve the mixed interactions of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, π–π, electrostatic, and anion-exchange interactions.     

Chromatographic evaluation of reversed-phase/anion-exchange/cation-exchange trimodal stationary phases prepared by electrostatically driven self-assembly process

This work describes chromatographic properties of reversed-phase/cation-exchange/anion-exchange trimodal stationary phases. These stationary phases were based on high-purity porous spherical silica particles coated with nano-polymer beads using an electrostatically driven self-assembly process. The inner-pore area of the material was modified covalently with an organic layer that provided both reversed-phase and anion-exchange properties while the outer surface was coated with nano-sized polymer beads with strong cation-exchange characteristics. This design ensured spatial separation of the anion-exchange and the cation-exchange regions, and allowed reversed-phase, anion-exchange and cation-exchange retention mechanisms to function simultaneously. Chromatographic evaluation of ions and small molecules suggested that retention of ionic analytes was influenced by the ionic strength, pH, and mobile phase organic solvent content, and governed by both ion-exchange and hydrophobic interactions. Meanwhile, neutral analytes were retained by hydrophobic interaction and was mainly affected by mobile phase organic solvent content. Depending on the specific application, selectivity could be optimized by adjusting the anion-exchange/cation-exchange capacity ratio (selectivity), which was achieved experimentally by using porous silica particles with different surface areas.     

A New Bonded-Phase for High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Analysis

Abstract

A silica bonded-phase with carboxylic acid functionality and a side chain of three carbon atoms has been synthesized for HPLC analysis. Mixtures of nucleic acid bases, PTH-amino acids, phospholipids and ethanolic extract of dry ginger powder were analyzed to demonstrate its performance. Nucleic acid bases and PTH-amino acids were separated by cation-exchange mechanism whereas phospholipids experienced combination of cation-exchange and normal-phase resolution. The resolution of gingerols in the dry ginger powder was achieved by reversed-phase mechanism.     

Detergent Mediated Effects on the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of Proteins

Abstract

Present chromatographic systems for the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of hydrophobic-proteins are generally limited to size-exclusion or ion-exchange chromatography. A major stumbling block to the successful chromatography of membrane-proteins is their limited solubility. Detergent is usally required to solublize these proteins. This detergent causes some problems in size-exclusion chromatography, but does not always interfere with the separation. It is more deleterious in anion-exchange chromatography, where ionic detergents can poison the column, and reversed-phase chromatography, where strong interactions can occur between the stationary phase and detergent. Successful chromatography of membrane-proteins requires favorable detergent/stationary-phase interactions that enhance, rather than interfere with, the separation.

To study these “detergent-mediated effects” a series of protein standards were chromatographed by reversed-phase HPLC. The column was then saturated with detergent and the standards rechromatographed. To evaluate any irreversible effects (caused by detergent/stationary-phase interactions) the column was washed extensively and re-evaluated. Following this procedure a variety of stationary-phases and detergents were tested.

The results of these studies showed that resolution was enhanced by detergent. Retention time was generally uneffected, but peak width was noticeably decreassed. Proteins were separated by fast gradients and recovered in high yields (95–99%). A C-18 stationary-phase gave better resolution than a C-8 stationary-phase. In all cases studied the column was irreversibly modified.

A final test of the “detergent-modified” columns was the chromatography of membrane-proteins. Prior attempts at the reversed-phase HPLC of these proteins had resulted in either no sample recovery, or of very low yields of purified protein. An acetylcholinesterase containing sample chromatographed as series of fused peaks, two of which were found to contain cholinesterase activity. Human lymophocyte function-antigen chromatographed as a single peak and was recoved with a 95% yield.     

Multi-modal applicability of a reversed-phase/weak-anion exchange material in reversed-phase,anion-exchange,ion-exclusion,hydrophilic interaction and hydrophobic interaction chromatography modes

We recently introduced a mixed-mode reversed-phase/weak anion-exchange type separation material based on silica particles which consisted of a hydrophobic alkyl strand with polar embedded groups (thioether and amide functionalities) and a terminal weak anion-exchange-type quinuclidine moiety. This stationary phase was designed to separate molecules by lipophilicity and charge differences and was mainly devised for peptide separations with hydroorganic reversed-phase type elution conditions. Herein, we demonstrate the extraordinary flexibility of this RP/WAX phase, in particular for peptide separations, by illustrating its applicability in various chromatographic modes. The column packed with this material can, depending on the solute character and employed elution conditions, exploit attractive or repulsive electrostatic interactions, and/or hydrophobic or hydrophilic interactions as retention and selectivity increments. As a consequence, the column can be operated in a reversed-phase mode (neutral compounds), anion-exchange mode (acidic compounds), ion-exclusion chromatography mode (cationic solutes), hydrophilic interaction chromatography mode (polar compounds), and hydrophobic interaction chromatography mode (e.g., hydrophobic peptides). Mixed-modes of these chromatographic retention principles may be materialized as well. This allows an exceptionally flexible adjustment of retention and selectivity by tuning experimental conditions. The distinct separation mechanisms will be outlined by selected examples of peptide separations in the different modes.     

新型吡咯烷键合反相高效液相色谱固定相的制备与研究（英文）

正A new ionic liquid-based high-performance liquid chromatography stationary phase is reported.A derivative of N-methyl pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate was covalently immobilized on the surface of silica particles to prepare silica-based N-methyl pyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate(SilprMP BF4)stationary phase.The obtained ionic liquid-modified silica was evaluated and confirmed by elemental analysis,infrared spectroscopy,and thermogravimetric analysis.A column was packed with the modified particles.The retention behavior of aromatic compounds,alkyl benzenes,and acidic and basic compounds on the SilprMP BF4 stationary phase was studied under reversed-phase liquid chromatography conditions.The effect of the eluent pH on the separation of the acidic and basic compounds was also studied.The new stationary phase involves multiple retention mechanisms,such as electrostatic,hydrophobic,ion-dipole,and anion-exchange interactions,which might lead to multipurpose separation media.     

Quinolinium ionic liquid-modified silica as a novel stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography

A novel stationary phase based on quinolinium ionic liquid-modified silica was prepared and evaluated for high-performance liquid chromatography. The stationary phase was investigated via normal-phase (NP), reversed-phase (RP), and anion-exchange (AE) chromatographic modes, respectively. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, parabens, phenols, anilines, and inorganic anions were used as model analytes in chromatographic separation. Using the newly established column, organic compounds were separated successfully by both NP and RP modes, and inorganic anions were also separated completely by AE mode. The obtained results indicated that the stationary phase could be applied in different chromatographic modes, with multiple-interaction mechanism including van der Waals forces (dipole–dipole, dipole–induced dipole interactions), hydrophobic, π–π stacking, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, anion-exchange interactions, and so on. The column packed with the stationary phase was applied to analyze phthalates and parabens in hexane extracts of plastics. Tap water and bottled water were also analyzed by the column, and nitrate was detected as 20.1 and 13.8 mg L^?1, respectively. The results illustrated that the stationary phase was potential in practical applications.

Use of Principal Component and Cluster Analysis for the Comparison of Reversed-Phase HPLC Columns

Abstract

The retention of ethoxylated nonylhylphenyl surfactants was determined in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using various supports (C1, C2, C6, C8, C18, polyethylene-coated silica, and polyethylene-coated alumina). The retention data matrix was evaluated both by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The retention characteristics of both polyethylene-coated supports were similar to that of C1, the retention capacity of RP columns for surfactants increased with the increasing length of the covalently bonded hydrocarbon chain. The retention of ethoxylated surfactants depended nonlinearly on the length of ehtyleneoxide chain suggesting that the polar ethyleneoxide chains are in folded state under the chromatographic separation.     

Ion chromatography on a latex-coated silica monolith column

A silica monolith column (Merck Chromolith, 100 mm x 4.6 mm) has been coated with Dionex AS9-SC latex nanoparticles to convert the column into an anion-exchange stationary phase. For comparison purposes, a reversed-phase silica monolith was also converted into an anion-exchange column by coating with the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB). Separations of common inorganic anions were carried out using 7.5 or 5.0 mM 4-hydroxybenzoic acid at pH 7.0 along with suppressed conductivity detection. Direct comparisons were then made between the two columns in terms of selectivity, efficiency and stability. The latex-coated column was on average 50% more efficient than the DDAB-coated column. A 10% decrease in retention times was observed on the DDAB column over 11 h of continuous eluent flow, while the latex coating exhibited <1% change in retention even after 2.5 months of periodic use.     

Preparation and evaluation of a silica-based 1-alkyl-3-(propyl-3-sulfonate) imidazolium zwitterionic stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography

A new zwitterionic stationary phase based on silica bonded with 1-alkyl-3-(propyl-3-sulfonate) imidazolium was synthesized and characterized in this paper. The materials have been confirmed and evaluated by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Potassium and calcium were separated simultaneously with several common inorganic anions including an iodate, chloride, bromide, nitrate and iodide on the phase. The effects of the concentration, organic solvent and pH of the eluent on the separation of anions were studied. Operated in the anion-exchange mode, this new stationary phase shows considerable promise for the separation of anions. Bases, vitamins and three imidazolium ionic liquids with different alkyl chains are also separated successfully on this column. The stationary phase has multiple retention mechanisms, such as anion-exchange, electrostatic attraction and repulsion interactions, and hydrophobic interaction between the zwitterionic stationary phase and specimens.     

Synthesis and characterization of phenylpropanolamine bonded silica for multimode liquid chromatography of small molecules

Summary A multimodal silica support carrying both anionexchange and hydrophobic functions was prepared by bonding phenylpropanolamine to epoxysilane-modified silica. This support was characterized with regard to its physical and chromatographic properties and has a surface coverage of 150 mol g^–1. The reversed-phase and the anion-exchange behaviour of the new stationary phase were investigated by injection of acidic, neutral and basic drugs and inorganic anions. The retention of the tested compounds was manipulated by modifying the pH and proportion of organic modifier in the mobile phase in isocratic mode. The mixed-mechanism column provided a flexible and versatile method for the simultaneous separation of neutral, acidic and basic compounds.     

Simultaneous determination of positive and negative pharmaceutical counterions using mixed-mode chromatography coupled with charged aerosol detector

A mixed-mode chromatography coupled with charged aerosol detector (CAD) method was developed in this work to simultaneously determine pharmaceutical counterions including both inorganic ions and organic ions in the forms of cations and anions. 25 commonly used pharmaceutical ions were studied and simultaneously separated within 20 min by this single method. A silica based mixed-mode column with reversed-phase/cation-exchange/anion-exchange modes was used. It provides reversed-phase, strong cation-exchange and weak anion-exchange properties at the same time. It also provides the HILIC behavior at high percentage of organic solvent. The effects of mobile-phase organic strength, buffer ions, ionic strength, pH and column temperature have been investigated to optimize the method as well as to understand the retention and separation mechanisms. Conventional HPLC system was used and no special chromatography system is needed. The presented method has been employed successfully for screening and quantitative analysis of counterions, unknown ionic impurities and salts in active pharmaceutical ingredients and in process control samples with excellent accuracy, precision and sensitivity. This method provides a simple, fast and generic approach to speed up pharmaceutical research and development process and enhance lab efficiency. The similar methodologies can be applied to other ion analysis.     

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of tenuazonic acid and related tetramic acids

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic system for the determination of the fungal toxin, tenuazonic acid, (5S,8S)-3-acetyl-5-sec.-butyltetramic acid, is described. The system utilizes a column packed with deactivated end-capped C18 silica with a high carbon load to overcome the problem of poor chromatographic performance of this beta-diketone on reversed-phase liquid chromatography which previously necessitated the use of anion-exchange, ligand-exchange or ion-pairing methods. The reversed-phase system allows the separation of tenuazonic acid from its (5R,8S)-diastereomer, allo-tenuazonic acid and was applied to the detection of tenuazonic acid in cultures of Alternaria alternata and Phoma sorghina. By means of diode-array ultraviolet detection, (5S)-3-acetyl-5-isopropyltetramic acid was observed in extracts of culture material. This metabolite was purified using the analytical reversed-phase system and was identified by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.     

New PVDF organic–inorganic membranes: The effect of SiO2 nanoparticles content on the transport performance of anion-exchange membranes

Organic–inorganic anion-exchange membranes based on poly(vinylidene fluoride)/SiO₂ were prepared and quaternary ammonium groups were introduced by the reaction of the epoxy groups of glycidyl methacrylate with trimethylamine. Various membranes were prepared with different weight fraction of nano-sized SiO₂ particles. The effect of silica content on the performance of these anion-exchange membranes was extensively characterized in terms of transport properties (TSP). The hydrophilic nature, swelling and TSP of these anion-exchange membranes were dependent on nanoparticles content in the membrane matrix. Higher TSP values of these membranes were obtained, which increased with increasing silica content. The hydrophilic property of the membranes was improved in presence of silica. Results of the effect of silica content on the membrane conductivity were confirmed by the analysis of phenomenological coefficients using non-equilibrium thermodynamic principles. It can be concluded that these anion-exchange membranes prepared with 2% loading with nanoparticles exhibited better transport properties, which may be used for their application in electro-driven separation or for other electrochemical processes.

Application of Thin-Layer Chromatography to High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Separation of Steroidal Hormones and Cephalosporin Antibiotics

Abstract

High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of steroidal hormones and cephalosporin antibiotics was investigated by adsorption chromatography and reversed-phase chromatography, respectively.

Prior to the HPLC separation of these pharmaceuticals, silica gel thin-layer adsorption chromatography of steroidal hormones and reversed-phase thin-layer partition chromatography of cephalosporin antibiotics with chemically bonded dimethylsilyl silica gel were performed in order to obtain suitable HPLC separation systems.

In the separation of steroidal hormones, the same binary mobile phase ratios of TLC did not give satisfactory results in HPLC. For the sharp separation in HPLC, solvent strength in the binary solvent mixture used for TLC had to be decreased.

The difference in solvent strength for efficient separation between TLC and HPLC might be attributed to the fact that in HPLC the solvent elution power acts in an isocratic manner while in TLC it acts in a gradient manner.

On the other hand, a correlation of mobility between TLC and HPLC separation for cephalosporin antibiotics was obtained, and the possibility of direct transfer of chromatographic systems from TLC to HPLC for separation of these antibiotics was confirmed.
