Fast separations of chiral β-blockers on a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-coated zirconia monolithic column by capillary electrochromatography

Cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) is an excellent chiral selector for enantioseparation of a wide variety of chiral compounds. The monolithic chiral columns are becoming popular in liquid chromatography and capillary electrochromatography. In this work, we present the fast separation of chiral β-blockers on a CDMPC-modified zirconia monolithic column by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The porous zirconia monolithic capillary column was prepared by using the sol-gel technology and then zirconia surface modified with CDMPC. The enantioseparations were performed in reversed-phase (RP) eluents of a phosphate solution (pH 4.4) modified with acetonitrile or alcohol. The enantioseparations of a set of eight chiral β-blockers were achieved in less than one minute. Influences of the applied voltage, column temperature, concentration of acetonitrile and the type of alcohol as the organic modifier in the mobile phase, and sample injection time on enantioseparation were investigated. CEC separations at the applied voltage of 10 kV and 15 °C in the ACN-modified mobile phase provided the best resolutions for the analytes studied. Run-to-run and day-to-day repeatabilities of the column in the RP-CEC separation were less than 1 and 2%, respectively.     

Enantioseparation on cellulose dimethylphenylcarbamate-modified zirconia monolithic columns by reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography

This work reports the preparation of monolithic zirconia chiral columns for separation of enantiomeric compounds by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Using sol–gel technology, a porous monolith having interconnected globular-like structure with through-pores is synthesized in the capillary column as a first step in the synthesis of monolithic zirconia chiral capillary columns. In the second step, the surface of the monolith is modified by coating with cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) as the chiral stationary phase to obtain a chiral column (CDMPCZM). The process of the preparation of the zirconia monolithic capillary column was investigated by varying the concentrations of the components of the sol solution including polyethylene glycol, water and acetic acid. CDMPCZM is mechanically stable and no bubble formation was detected with the applied current of up to 30 μA. The enantioseparation behavior of the CDMPCZM columns was investigated by separating a set of 10 representative chiral compounds by varying the applied voltage and pH and organic composition of the aqueous organic mobile phases.

Separation of acidic and basic compounds in capillary electrochromatography with polymethacrylate-based monolithic columns

Methacrylate-based monolithic columns with electroosmotic flow (EOF) or very weak EOF are prepared by in situ copolymerization in the presence of a porogen in fused-silica capillaries pretreated with a bifunctional reagent. Satisfactory separations of acidic and basic compounds on the column with EOF at either low or high pH are achieved, respectively. With sulfonic groups as dissociation functionalities, sufficient EOF mobility still remains as high as 1.74 x 10(-4) cm2 s(-1) V(-1) at low pH. Under this condition, seven acidic compounds are readily separated within 5.7 min. Moreover, at high pH, the peak shape of basic compounds is satisfactory without addition of any masking amines into running mobile phase since the secondary interaction between the basic compounds and the monolithic stationary phase are minimized at high pH. Reversed-phase mechanism for both acidic and basic compounds is observed under investigated separation conditions. In addition, possibilities of acidic and basic compound separations on a monolithic column with extremely low EOF are discussed.     

Fast enantioseparations of basic analytes by high-performance liquid chromatography using cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-coated zirconia stationary phases

In this work, we study the influence of the mobile phase and column temperature on the enantioresolution of basic compounds on microparticulate porous zirconia coated with cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC). The chiral analytes are amino compounds, including a number of beta-blockers. Analytes are eluted with hexane-alcohol mobile phases. We investigated the effect of alcohol (type and concentration), basic eluent additives, and column temperature on the parameters that control resolution (column efficiency, retention and selectivity). Conditions for achieving an adequate separation in the least time have been determined for numerous racemic mixtures. For most solutes, baseline resolution of the enantiomeric pair was achieved in less than 1 min; 12 of 13 pairs were separated in less than 2 min.     

Enantioseparation of aromatic amino acids using CEC monolith with novel chiral selector,N‐methacryloyl‐l‐histidine methyl ester

A new type of polymethacrylate‐based monolithic column with chiral stationary phase was prepared for the enantioseparation of aromatic amino acids, namely d ,l ‐phenylalanine, d ,l ‐tyrosine, and d ,l ‐tryptophan by CEC. The monolithic column was prepared by in situ polymerization of butyl methacrylate (BMA), N‐methacryloyl‐l ‐histidine methyl ester (MAH), and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) in the presence of porogens. The porogen mixture included DMF and phosphate buffer. MAH was used as a chiral selector. FTIR spectrum of the polymethacrylate‐based monolith showed that MAH was incorporated into the polymeric structure via in situ polymerization. Some experimental parameters including pH, concentration of the mobile phase, and MAH concentration with regard to the chiral CEC separation were investigated. Single enantiomers and enantiomer mixtures of the amino acids were separately injected into the monolithic column. It was observed that l ‐enantiomers of aromatic amino acids migrated before d ‐enantiomers. The reversal enantiomer migration order for tryptophan was observed upon changing of pH. Using the chiral monolithic column (100 μm id and 375 μm od), the best chiral separation was performed in 35:65% ACN/phosphate buffer (pH 8.0, 10 mM) with an applied voltage of 12 kV in CEC. SEM images showed that the chiral monolithic column has a continuous polymeric skeleton and large through‐pore structure.     

牛血清白蛋白手性毛细管整体柱的制备及对映体的分离

A silica-bonded bovine serum albumin (BSA) chiral monolithic stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography(CEC) was introduced. An inorganic-organic hybrid monolithic column was firstly prepared by sol-gel chemistry with homogeneously distributed aminopropyl groups throughout the silica matrix. Then the chiral stationary phase was synthesized by the in situ covalent immobilization of BSA on the monolithic column activated with glutaraldehyde. The effects of pH value and concentration of phosphate buffer on the separation of D,L-tryptophan were investigated. The separation factor of D,L-tryptophan reached 3.37 on CEC mode.     

Photografted methacrylate‐based monolithic columns coated with cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) for chiral separation in CEC

A chiral capillary monolithic column for enantiomer separation in capillary electrochromatography was prepared by coating cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) on porous glycidyl methacrylate‐co‐ethylene dimethacrylate monolith in capillary format grafted with chains of [2(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride. The surface modification of the monolith by the photografting of [2(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride monomer as well as the coating conditions of cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) onto the grafted monolithic scaffold were optimized to obtain a stable and reproducible chiral stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography. The effect of organic modifier (acetonitrile) in aqueous mobile phase for the enantiomer separation by capillary electrochromatography was also investigated. Several pairs of enantiomers including acidic, neutral, and basic analytes were tested and most of them were partially or completely resolved under aqueous mobile phases. The prepared monolithic chiral stationary phases exhibited a good stability, repeatability, and column‐to‐column reproducibility, with relative standard deviations below 11% in the studied electrochromatographic parameters.     

Electrochromatographic performance of conventional and polar-embedded C16 silica monolithic stationary phases

A novel monolithic silica column that has a polar‐embedded amide‐secondary amine group linking with C16 functionality for RP‐CEC is described. The amide‐secondary aminealkyloxysilane was synthesized by the reaction of 3‐(2‐aminoethylamino) propyltrimethoxysilane with hexadecanoyl chloride. Then, the silylant agent was bonded to the silica monolith matrix to produce hexadecanamide‐secondary amine bonded silica (HDAIS) monolithic column. The electrochromatographic performance of HDAIS monolithic column for the separation of neutral, basic and polar solutes was studied, which was compared to that using the hexadecyl bonded silica monolithic column. The HDAIS monolithic column displayed reduced hydrophobic retention characteristics in the separation of five hydrophobic n‐alkylbenzenes and four polar phenols when compared to the hexadecyl bonded silica monolithic column. A very much reduced silanol activity of HDAIS monolithic column was observed in the separation of test basic mixture including four aromatic amines, atenolol and metoprolol with 10 mM borate buffer (pH 7.5) containing 30% v/v ACN as the mobile phase. The comparison results indicate good performance for both polar and basic mixtures on HDAIS monolithic column in RP‐CEC, and also show promising results for further applications.

Polyacrylamide-based monolithic capillary column with coating of cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) for enantiomer separation in capillary electrochromatography

A hydrophilic chiral capillary monolithic column for enantiomer separation in CEC was prepared by coating cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) (CDMPC) on porous hydrophilic poly(acrylamide-co-N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide) (poly(AA-co-MBA)) monolithic matrix with confine of a fused-silica capillary. The coating conditions were optimized to obtain a stable and reproducible chiral stationary phase for CEC. The effect of organic modifier of ACN in aqueous mobile phase for the enantiomer separation by CEC was investigated, and the significant influence of ACN on the enantioresolution and electrochromatographic retention was observed. Twelve pairs of enantiomers including acidic, neutral, and basic analytes were tested and nine pairs of them were baseline-enantioresolved with acidic and basic aqueous mobile phases. A good within-column repeatability in retention time (RSD = 2.4%) and resolution (RSD = 3.2%) was obtained by consecutive injections of a neutral compound, benzoin, on a prepared chiral monolithic column, while the between-column repeatability in retention time (RSD = 6.4%) and resolution (RSD = 9.6%) was observed by column-to-column examination. The prepared monolithic stationary phase showed good stability in either acidic or basic mobile phase.     

Combining poly (methacrylic acid‐co‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith microextraction and octadecyl phosphonic acid‐modified zirconia‐coated CEC with field‐enhanced sample injection for analysis of antidepressants in human plasma and urine

A method based on poly (methacrylic acid‐co‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith microextraction and octadecylphosphonic acid‐modified zirconia‐coated CEC followed by field‐enhanced sample injection preconcentration technique was proposed for sensitive CE‐UV analysis of six antidepressants (doxepin, clozapine, imipramine, paroxetine, fluoxetine and chlorimipramine) in human plasma and urine. A poly(methacrylic acid‐co‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary column was introduced for the extraction of antidepressants from urine and plasma samples. The hydrophobic main chains and acidic pendant groups of the monolithic column make it a superior material for extraction of basic analytes from aqueous matrix. After extraction, the desorption solvent, which normally provided an excellent medium to ensure direct compatibility for field‐enhanced sample injection in CE, was analyzed by CE directly. By the use of alkylphosphonate‐modified zirconia‐coated CEC for separation of the basic compounds of antidepressants, high separation efficiency and resolution were achieved because that both hydrophobic interaction between analytes and alkylphosphonate‐modified zirconia coat and electrophoretic effect work on the separation of antidepressants. The best separation was achieved using a buffer composed of 0.3 M ammonium acetate (adjusted to pH 4.5 with 1 M acetic acid) and 35% ACN v/v, with a temperature and voltage of 20°C and 20 kV, respectively. By applying both preconcentration procedures, LODs of 11.4–51.5 and 3.7–17.0 μg/L were achieved for the six antidepressants in human plasma and urine, respectively. Excellent method of reproducibility was found over a linear range of 50–5000 μg/L in plasma and urine sample.     

Electrochromatographic enantioseparation using chiral ligand exchange monolithic sol-gel column

This paper describes the development of a monolithic sol-gel column modified with l-hydroxyproline as a ligand exchange chiral stationary phase. It has been demonstrated that the monolithic chiral stationary phase can be used for the enantioseparation of dansyl amino acids, free amino acids, hydroxy acids, and dipeptides by capillary electrochromatography and micro-liquid chromatography. The recommended mobile phase was acetonitrile/0.50 mM Cu(Ac)₂-50 mM NH₄Ac (7:3) adjusted to pH 6.5. The characteristics of the monolithic column using hydroxyproline as chiral selector in CEC have been discussed.

Chemically L-prolinamide-modified monolithic silica column for enantiomeric separation of dansyl amino acids and hydroxy acids by capillary electrochromatography and mu-high performance liquid chromatography

A silica-based chiral monolithic column prepared by sol-gel process and chemical modification of chiral selector was used for enantioseparation of dansyl amino acids and hydroxy acids by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) and mu-high-performance liquid chromatography (mu-HPLC). L-Prolinamide was modified as a chiral selector. The chiral stationary phase (CSP), the chiral complex of Cu(II) with L-prolinamide, provides an anodic electroosmotic flow (EOF) in CEC. The EOF was found to be dependent on applied electric field strength, the pH, and the composition of mobile phases. Scanning electron micrograph showed that monolithic columns have the morphology of continuous skeleton and large through-pore. D-Enantiomers migrated before L-enantiomers except for dansyl-(Dns)-DL-Ser. The separation efficiencies of up to 17600 (D) and 13,200 plates m(-1) (L) were achieved for the separation of DL-indole-3-lactic acid.     

Monolithic silica columns with chemically bonded tert-butylcarbamoylquinine chiral anion-exchanger selector as a stationary phase for enantiomer separations

An enantioselective silica rod type chiral stationary phase (CSP) is presented as a novel combination of the well-known enantiomer separation properties of immobilized tert-butyl-carbamoylquinine chiral anion-exchanger selector with the unique properties of monolithic silica material. The chromatographic behavior of the tert-butyl-carbamoylquinine silica rod was studied and compared with a similar prepared particulate material. Good selectivities were achieved for a spectrum of chiral test components like N-derivatized amino acids (DNB- Ac-, DNZ-, Bz-, Z-amino acids) and for Suprofen. The influence of mobile phase parameters, as well as the effect of serially coupling up to six 10 cm monolithic silica columns was studied and put in context to conventional columns of particulate 5 microm type CSP. Using that 60 cm long monolithic column it was possible to improve the enantiomer separation of Suprofen and achieve a baseline separation in less than 10 min of total separation time.     

Evaluation of a methacrylate-bonded cyclodextrins as a monolithic chiral stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography (CEC)-UV and CEC coupled to mass spectrometry

Glycidyl methacrylate-bonded β-cyclodextrin (GMA-β-CD) is synthesized as a new chiral monomer by direct chemical bonding with GMA using a fast and simple alternative procedure. Next, rigid and homogenous monolithic columns were prepared by polymerization of GMA-β-CD monomer with ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), in the presence of commonly used porogens and a charged achiral monomer to form a versatile chiral monolith. This is the first report in which a preparation procedure for a methacrylate-bonded CD is introduced for chiral separations in CEC. The degree of substitution of GMA-β-CD monomer and mobile-phase parameters were optimized to achieve the highest enantioselectivity and plate number. To evaluate the GMA-β-CD monolithic column, different classes of chiral compounds were screened. Under the optimized β-CD monolith phase and the optimum mobile-phase conditions, 30 neutral and basic chiral compounds and two acidic compounds could be separated. The high chemical and mechanical stability, homogenous microflow and no loss of material at the interface allows for the first time the feasibility of applying this polymer-based monolithic column for CEC coupled to ESI-MS. Compared with CEC-UV, CEC-ESI-MS showed higher sensitivity and lower resolution. However, resolution greater than 1.0 can still be obtained for majority of the select tested compound in CEC-ESI-MS with at least three out of seven compound providing Rs≥1.5. The results reinforce the potential of GMA-β-CD monolithic columns for chiral separations with high sensitivity in CEC-ESI-MS. Finally, using hexobarbital as the model chiral analyte, the monolithic column demonstrated excellent stability and reproducibility of retention time and enantioselectivity.
