Recent advances in peptide chiral selectors for electrophoresis and liquid chromatography

The application of peptides in chiral separations using techniques such as capillary electrophoresis (CE), electrokinetic capillary chromatography (EKC) and liquid chromatography is the focus of this review. Methods for finding peptide selectors using combinatorial library approaches are discussed, as well as recent advances in the use of peptides as general chiral selectors for electrophoresis and liquid chromatography. One example shows the effectiveness of polymeric dipeptide surfactants as general chiral selectors for electrophoresis. Another example shows the versatility of oligoproline chiral stationary phases, exhibiting resolution for a number of racemic analytes comparable to other well-established chiral stationary phases.     

Investigation of mass transfer properties and kinetic performance of high‐efficiency columns packed with C18 sub‐2 μm fully and superficially porous particles

Three columns packed with 2.0 μm superficially porous particles, 1.7 μm fully porous particles, and monodisperse 1.9 μm fully porous particles with narrow particle size distribution have been deeply characterized from a kinetic point of view. The 1.9 μm column showed excellent kinetic performance, comparable to that of the superficially porous one. These two columns also exhibit flatter c‐branches of the van Deemter curve compared to the 1.7 μm fully porous particles column, resulting in smaller loss of efficiency when they are operated at higher flow rates than the optimal ones. The independent evaluation of each contribution to band broadening has revealed that the difference in kinetic performance comes from the very small eddy dispersion contribution on the 1.9 μm column, surprisingly even lower than that of the superficially porous one. This finding suggests a very good packing of the monodisperse 1.9 μm column. On the other hand, the potential of 1.7 μm fully porous particles is completely broken down by the strong frictional heating effect already arising at relatively low flow rates.     

Relationship between the particle size distribution of commercial fully porous and superficially porous high-performance liquid chromatography column packings and their chromatographic performance

The separation efficiency and kinetics of several commercial HPLC particle types (both fully porous and superficially porous) have been investigated using a pharmaceutical weakly basic N-containing compound as a test molecule. A strong trend between the particle size distribution (PSD) of the particles and the typically employed “goodness of packing”-parameters was observed. The relative standard deviation of the PSD of the tested particles ranged between 0.05 and 0.2, and in this range, a near linear relationship between the A-term constant, the h_min-value and the minimal separation impedance was found. The experimental findings hence confirm the recent observations regarding the relationship between the narrow PSD of the recently commercialized porous-shell particles and their superior efficiency and kinetic performance. The outcome also suggests that the performance of the current generation of fully porous particle columns could be significantly improved if the PSD of these particles could be reduced.

Comparison of supercritical fluid chromatography and liquid chromatography for the separation of urinary metabolites of nobiletin with chiral and non-chiral stationary phases

Nobiletin (NOB), a polymethoxylated flavone found in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) peel, is currently recognized as a promising anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agent. It is believed that, by undergoing metabolic biotransformation in vivo, nobiletin is demethylated by hepatic P450 enzymes, yielding multiple hydroxylated metabolites. However, it has not been possible to date to separate the two demethylated nobiletin metabolites, 3'-demethyl-NOB and 4'-demethyl-NOB (regio-isomers) on reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Additionally, both display similar mass spectrometric fragmentation, resulting in difficulties to identify the dominant metabolite. A successful separation method was developed by utilizing supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) with chiral stationary phase. The separation was also attempted with normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) in both chiral and non-chiral modes. Chromatographic separation for the two nobiletin metabolites was superior by SFC than by LC, especially using chiral stationary phase. By comparing the SFC profile of the synthesized standards, the major nobiletin metabolite in mouse urine was identified as 4'-demethyl-NOB, with the concentration of 28.9 microg/mL.

A novel pillar[3]trianglimine macrocycle with a deep cavity used as a chiral selector to prepare a chiral stationary phase by thiol-ene click reaction for enantioseparation in high-performance liquid chromatography

A chiral pillar[3]trianglimine (C₆₀H₇₂N₆O₆) with a deep cavity has been developed as a chiral selector and bonded to thiolated silica by thiol-ene click reaction to fabricate a novel chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation in high-performance liquid chromatography. The enantioseparation performance of the fabricated chiral stationary phase has been evaluated by separating various racemic compounds, including alcohols, esters, amines, ketones, amino acids, and epoxides, in both normal-phase and reversed-phase elution modes. In total, 14 and 17 racemates have been effectively separated in these two separation modes, respectively. In comparison with two widely used chiral columns (Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpak AD-H), our novel chiral stationary phase offered good chiral separation complementarity, separating some of the tested racemates that could not be separated or were only partially separated on these two commercial columns. The influences of analyte mass, mobile phase composition, and column temperature on chiral separation have been investigated. Good repeatability, stability, and column-to-column reproducibility of the chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation have been observed. After the fabricated column had been eluted up to 400 times, the relative standard deviations (n = 5) of resolution (Rs) and retention time of the separated analytes were < 0.39% and < 0.20%, respectively. The relative standard deviations (n = 3) of Rs and retention time for column-to-column reproducibility were < 4.6% and < 5.2%, respectively. This study demonstrated that the new chiral stationary phase has great prospects for chiral separation in high-performance liquid chromatography.

Preparation and chiral resolution properties of bridged bis(cyclodextrin)s hybrid spheres for high performance liquid chromatography

Selenium-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)s organic–inorganic hybrid silica material with regular spherical shape as new type of chiral stationary phase was directly synthesized under the one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method, and the chiral stationary phase was further characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and elemental analysis. The results of chiral separation showed that eight chiral compounds including various types of chiral alcohols and flavanone were successfully separated in the reversed-phase separation mode by high performance liquid chromatography, which showed the better chiral resolution effect than that on the C2 position of single β-cyclodextrin. The mechanism of chiral separation was likely due to multiple interactions such as inclusion, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, dipole–dipole interaction, and the synergistic effect of two cyclodextrins during the chiral resolution process. The synergy of the two cyclodextrins has great potential for development in chiral resolution.     

基于共价有机框架材料TpPa-NH2-Glu的高效液相色谱固定相用于分离手性化合物

共价有机框架材料（COFs）是一类由多齿有机单元通过共价键连接而成的新兴孔晶体材料。通过合成后修饰所得到的COFs通常具有较高的结晶度与孔隙率,并且在手性拆分、不对称催化与色谱分析等领域具有良好的应用价值。该文用1,3,5-三甲醛间苯三酚与2-硝基-1,4-苯二胺合成TpPa-NO₂,对其还原得到TpPa-NH₂,然后通过合成后修饰策略将D-葡萄糖修饰到该材料上,得到手性材料TpPa-NH₂的D-葡萄糖衍生物（TpPa-NH₂-Glu）。利用“网包法”将其固载在球形硅胶表面用作高效液相色谱固定相并制备了液相色谱柱,分别以正己烷-异丙醇（9∶1, v/v）或甲醇-水（9∶1, v/v）为流动相,流速0.5 mL/min,成功拆分了16种包括多个手性药物的外消旋体和2种苯系位置异构体o,m,p-硝基苯胺和o,m,p-碘苯胺。在甲醇-水（9∶1, v/v）流动相条件下,拆分了5种外消旋体,其中盐酸普萘洛尔、华法林、美托洛尔达到了基线分离;在正己烷-异丙醇（9∶1, v/v）流动相条件下,拆分了11种外消旋体,其中2-溴丙酸乙酯、3-丁炔-2-醇达到了基线分离。此外还探究了温度对TpPa-NH₂-Glu液相色谱柱的影响以及TpPa-NH₂-Glu液相色谱柱的重复性,结果表明,温度对TpPa-NH₂-Glu所制备的高效液相色谱柱影响不大,且TpPa-NH₂-Glu所制备的高效液相色谱柱具有良好的重复性,其相对标准偏差（RSD）分别为1.55%和1.46%。实验结果表明,TpPa-NH₂-Glu对手性化合物有良好的拆分能力。     

A homochiral porous organic cage with large cavity and pore windows for the efficient gas chromatography separation of enantiomers and positional isomers

Porous organic cages composed of discrete cage molecules have attracted considerable recent attention as gas adsorption materials and separation media. In this study, we report a homochiral porous organic cage CC5 with a large cavity and pore windows as a novel stationary phase for high‐resolution gas chromatographic separations. The capillary column was prepared by a static coating method. A large number of racemic compounds have been resolved on the coated capillary column, including derivatized amino acids, alcohols, alcohol amines, esters, ethers, ketones, and epoxides. It is interesting that the CC5‐coated capillary column exhibits significant chiral recognition complementarity to a commercial β‐DEX 120 column and a previously reported homochiral porous organic cage CC3‐R‐coated column, which could expand the range of the analytes amenable to separation on porous organic cage‐based capillary columns. Moreover, the fabricated column also shows excellent selectivity for the separation of positional isomers, including the challenging ethylbenzene and xylene isomers. Experimental results demonstrate an excellent separation performance and stability of the CC5‐coated column, making it promising for gas chromatography applications.

采用六亚甲基二异氰酸酯与6-脱氧-6-羟乙基胺基-β-环糊精反应,合成二脲基桥联β-环糊精,并将其键合到硅胶表面,制备一种新型的二脲基桥联β-环糊精固定相(UBCDP)。通过红外光谱、质谱、元素分析等进行结构表征,以黄烷酮类、氨基酸类、三唑类手性药物和农药为探针,评价其手性色谱性能,探讨相关分离机理。进行色谱条件优化,并与单β-环糊精固定相(CDCSP)比较。试验了多种手性化合物,其中25个被拆分,2'-羟基黄烷酮、己唑醇、丹磺酰亮氨酸等分离度(R_s)达到1.52~4.35,且能拆分体积较大的橙皮甙。这与桥联β-环糊精的协同包结作用有关。而CDCSP仅能拆分少量的对映体,且分离度较低。UBCDP手性拆分能力更强,在手性药物和农药监测中有应用价值。     

Preparation and evaluation of monodispersed,submicron, non‐porous silica particles functionalized with β‐CD derivatives for chiral‐pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Submicron, non‐porous, chiral silica stationary phase has been prepared by the immobilization of functionalized β‐CD derivatives to isocyanate‐modified silica via chemical reaction and applied to the pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) enantio‐separation of various chiral compounds. The submicron, non‐porous, cyclodextrin‐based chiral stationary phases (sub_μm‐CSP2) exhibited excellent chiral recognition of a wide range of analytes including clenbuterol hydrochloride, mexiletine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine maleate, esmolol hydrochloride, and metoprolol tartrate. The synthesized submicron particles were regularly spherical and uniformly non‐porous with an average diameter of around 800 nm and a mean pore size of less than 2 nm. The synthesized chiral stationary phase was packed into 10 cm × 100 μm id capillary columns. The sub_μm‐CSP2 column used in the pCEC system showed better separation of the racemates and at a higher rate compared to those used in the capillary liquid chromatography mode (cLC) system. The sub_μm‐CSP2 possessed high mechanical strength, high stereoselectivity, and long lifespan, demonstrating rapid enantio‐separation and good resolution of samples. The column provided an efficiency of up to 170 000 plates/m for n‐propylbenzene.
