Enantiomer separations on a vancomycin stationary phase and retention mechanism of pressurized capillary electrochromatography

Several chiral drugs, promethazine, carteolol, celiprolol, and albuterol, were resolved with vancomycin as the chiral stationary phase by pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pressurized CEC) and capillary HPLC. The effects of pressure and electrical field strength on efficiency, resolution, and capacity factor in pressurized CEC were investigated. A mathematical model describing the relationship of capacity factor in pressurized CEC with voltage, pressurized flow velocity, electroosmotic mobility, and electrophoretic mobility was established, which was in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Preparation of a new chiral acridino-18-crown-6 ether-based stationary phase for enantioseparation of racemic protonated primary aralkyl amines

Starting from commercially available and relatively cheap chemicals first enantiopure dimethyl-substituted monoaza-18-crown-6 ether (R,R)-21 containing a diphenylamine unit was prepared, which was then transformed to dimethyl-substituted acridino-18-crown-6 ligand (R,R)-19 having an N-allyl-carbamoyl linker by several steps. The terminal double bond of the latter made possible to attach (R,R)-19 to γ-mercaptopropyl-functionalized spherical HPLC quality silica gel obtaining a new chiral stationary phase (R,R)-CSP-37. Based on electronic circular dichroism (ECD) studies the N-allyl-carbamoyl group attached to the acridine ring of the chiral host (R,R)-19 does weaken exciton interaction between the host and guest molecules, but does not destroy the discriminating power of the chiral host. An HPLC column filled with (R,R)-CSP-37 was tested for the enantioseparation of racemic 1-(1-naphthyl)- and 1-(2-naphthyl)ethylamine hydrogenperchlorates using isocratic conditions.     

The preparative chromatographic enantioseparation of a racemic morphanthridine analog on a chiral stationary phase

Summary The preparative chromatographic enantioseparation of a chiral morphoanthridine analog has been performed on an analytical column using amylose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phase. The racemate (100 mg) was resolved to baseline within 15 min. This paper describes the development of the method, estimation of the capacity of the chiral stationary phase and discussed the potential of the chromatography if performed under preparative conditions. From the results and calculations presented it seems likely that the resolution of 70 tons year⁻¹ could easily be achieved on 30 kg of stationary phase with a mobile-phase consumption of only 720 L day⁻¹.     

Reversed-phase separations on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase

Summary The chiral separation of eight racemic compounds has been investigated on a cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral column under reversed-phase conditions. The discrimination mechanism under reversed-phase conditions is discussed. Addition of acid to the mobile phase is necessary for resolution of acidic racemic compounds. The presence of ion-pair reagent in the mobile phase is a key factor in the resolution of basic racemic compounds. Retention of the racemates is also affected by addition of acid or salt. The anion in buffer not only interacts with the racemete, but also with the polysaccharide derivative on the silica gel surface.     

Analysis of enantiomeric flavanones in plant extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography on a cellulose triacetate based chiral stationary phase

Summary Flavanones ofArachis hypogaea, Hemizonia increscens, Eriodictyon glutinosum andThymus vulgaris extracts have been stereospecifically analysed by gradient elution on a column of cellulose triacetate supported on silica gel diol. The stereochemistry of naringenin, eriodictyol and homoeriodictyol was in favour of the 2S-configurated flavanones.     

Effect of the structure of organic phosphonate compounds on chiral separations on derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phase

Summary The enantiomers of eightO,O-dialkyl-2-benzyloxycarbonylaminoarylmethyl phosphonates have been directly separated on a tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) cellulose column. The results are very different from those obtained by separation on anN-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine (DNBleu) column. The effect of mobile phase composition and column temperature on retention and enantioselectivity were investigated. The effect on chiral separation of the length of, and steric hindrance by, alkoxyl groups of the phosphonate ester and of the nature of the substitutentsp-Cl andp-H on the benzene ring attached to the chiral carbon atom are also discussed.     

Activated carbamate reagent as chiral derivatizing agent for liquid chromatographic optical resolution of enantiomeric amino compounds

Summary A chiral derivatization reagent having activated succinimido carbamate moieties were developed for the optical resolution of enantiomeric amines by high-performance liquid chromatography. Succinimido R-(+)- or S-(–)-1-phenylethyl and R-(+)- or S-(–)-1-(-naphthyl)-ethyl carbamates were synthesized by the reaction of optically active phenylethyl and naphthylethyl amines with discuccinimido carbonate (DSC). These reagents reacted with both primary and secondary amine enantiomers such as amino acids and -amino alcohols to give the corresponding diastereomeric urea derivatives. These diastereomers were efficiently separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and detected by their absorption or the fluorescence of the chromophores. The chiral derivatization procedure was applied to the separation and determination of enantiomeric propranolol in serum.     

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.     

Effect of hydrophobic chain length of the chiral surfactant on enantiomeric separations by electrokinetic chromatography: Comparison between micellar and vesicular pseudo-stationary phases

Two novel amino acid based surfactants sodium N-(4-n-decyloxybenzoyl)-l-valinate (SDeBV) and sodium N-(4-n-octyloxybenzoyl)-l-valinate (SOBV) have been synthesized and used as chiral selectors for enantiomeric separations by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). The aggregation behavior of the surfactants was studied in buffered aqueous solution using surface tension and fluorescence probe techniques. The microenvironment of the aggregates was studied using pyrene, and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) as probe molecules. Results of these studies indicate that these two surfactants form micelles in buffered aqueous solution. Successful enentioseparation has been achieved for 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BOH), 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diylhydrogenphosphate (BNP), 2,8-dimethyl-6H-5,11-methanodibenzo[b,f] [1,5]diazocine (Tröger's base, TB), and benzoin (BZN) using the two chiral selectors SDeBV and SOBV. The separations were optimized with respect to surfactant concentration, pH, and buffer concentration. The results are discussed in light of the aggregation behavior of the surfactants. A comparison of the results of this study has been made with the data from literature to investigate the effect of self-assembly morphology on enantiomeric separations.     

Study of the enantiomeric separation of the anticholinergic drugs on two immobilized polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases by HPLC and the possible chiral recognition mechanisms

In this work, the enantiomeric separation of ten anticholinergic drugs was first examined on two derivative polysaccharide chiral stationary phases (CSPs), i.e., Chiralpak ID and Chiralpak IA in the normal phase mode. Except for scopolamine hydrobromide, the remaining nine analytes could be completely separated with good resolutions using both columns under the optimized mobile phase conditions. And the enantiomeric discrimination ability of the studied CSPs towards nine analytes was in the order of Chiralpak ID > Chiralpak IA. The influences of organic modifier types, alcohol content, and base/acid additives on the enantiomeric separation were evaluated and optimized. According to the experimental results, the effect of the structures of analytes on enantiomeric separation was discussed. Additionally, the chiral recognition mechanisms were proposed based on the thermodynamic analysis of the experimental data.     

Direct enantiomeric analysis of amphetamine in plasma by simultaneous solid phase extraction and chiral derivatization

Summary An analytical approach has been developed for the one step determination of enantiomeric amphetamine composition in plasma, using on-line, pre-column solid phase derivatization with reversed phase HPLC separation. The high molecular weight protein components were excluded by the small pore structure of the polymer and washed out of the reaction column before derivatization. Spiked amphetamine in human plasma was extracted and derivatized by the polystyrene based FMOC-L-prolyl solid phase reagent. The derivatized diastereomers were separated on a conventional ODS column with an ACN/H₂O mobile phase. No kinetic resolution or racemization was observed in this solid phase derivatization. Calibration plots and reproducibility experiments were performed to demonstrate the validity of the new approach. Automation of the procedure provided a simple and reproducible method for direct chiral recognition in plasma samples.

Liquid chromatographic resolution of racemic rasagiline and its analogues on a chiral stationary phase based on (+)‐(18‐crown‐6)‐2,3,11,12‐tetracarboxylic acid

A liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase based on (+)‐(18‐crown‐6)‐2,3,11,12‐tetracarboxylic acid was applied to the resolution of 15 analytes, including racemic rasagiline, a chiral drug for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and its analogues. The composition of mobile phase was optimized to be ethanol/acetonitrile/acetic acid/triethylamine (80:20:0.2:0.3, v/v/v/v) by evaluating the chromatographic results for the resolution of five selected analytes under various mobile phase conditions. Under the optimized mobile phase conditions, racemic rasagiline was resolved quite well with a separation factor of 1.48 and resolution of 2.71 and its 14 analogues were also resolved reasonably well with separation factors of 1.06–1.54 and resolutions of 0.54–2.11. Among 15 analytes, racemic rasagiline was resolved best except for just one analyte. The analyte structure–enantioselectivity relationship indicated that racemic rasagiline has the most appropriate structural characteristics for resolution on the chiral stationary phase.     

Stereochemical resolution of enantiomeric 2-aryl propionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on a human serum albumin based high-performance liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phase

Summary The native enantioselectivity in binding of human serum albumin (HSA) towards 2-aryl propionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (2-APA-NSAIDs, the profens) was found to be preserved when the protein was immobilized within a commercially available diol high-performance liquid chromatographic column. High capacity factors were obtained, reflecting the previously observed extensive binding of the 2-APA-NSAIDs to free HSA. The capacity factors were modified by the addition of octanoic acid to the mobile phase. Chiral resolution of the enantiomers of all nine 2-APA-NSAIDs studied was achieved. Preliminary studies show that in addition to being a useful chiral analytical tool for this therapeutically important series of compounds, the HSA chiral stationary phase may provide useful information on the affinity and binding mechanism of small molecules to HSA.     

Sodium maleopimaric acid as pseudostationary phase for chiral separations of amino acid derivatives by capillary micellar electrokinetic chromatography

A new type of chiral surfactant, sodium maleopimaric acid (SMA), was synthesized, and employed for the enantioselective micellar electrokinetic chromatographic (MEKC) separation of amino acid enantiomers derivatized with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA-D/L-AAs). The effect of the surfactant concentration, type and concentration of the BGE, and buffer pH on the resolution was studied, and optimized conditions were used to evaluate the ability of this new surfactant to perform chiral separations toward NDA-D/L-AAs by MEKC. Enantiomeric separations of NDA-D/L-AAs were achieved with a running buffer consisting of 100 mM borate (pH 9.5) and 20 mM SMA in a 58.5 cm length x 50 microm id capillary. Under the conditions selected, two pairs of tested amino acid enantiomers including NDA-D/L-trptophan (Trp) and NDA-D/L-kynurenine (Kyn) were resolved.     

alpha-Cyclodextrin-modified infrared sensing system for rapidly determining the enantiomeric composition of chiral compounds

This paper describes a new infrared (IR) sensing method for rapidly determining the enantiomeric compositions of chiral compounds through the use of a chirality-selective compound immobilized on the surface of the evanescent-wave sensing elements. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) was selected as this agent and it was immobilized on a zinc selenide sensing element to allow different analytical signals to be generated for each compound of a pair of enantiomers. Theoretical working equations were developed to monitor the response of the ATR-IR spectroscopic sensor during this process. The difference between the formation constants of enantiomers was crucial to the sensitivity when determining the enantiomeric compositions. Control of the pH of the solution could be used to effectively increase the difference between these formation constants. Based on the static sensing system with optimal conditions, the ratio of the values of the signals of the two enantiomers was <0.4. A linear relationship between the analytical signals and the mole fraction of the enantiomers was obtained under conditions in which the concentration of the chiral compound was sufficiently low. Based on the detected time profiles, this sensing method had a fast response: the detection time could be <10 min. With a flow-cell configuration, the time to finish one determination can be shorter than 10 min with similar sensitivity and accuracy as in static sensing system.     

Diastereomeric and enantiomeric resolution of methoxytetrahydronaphthalene derivatives, melatonin ligand receptors, by HPLC on amylose chiral stationary phases

Summary Five methoxytetrahydronaphthalene derivatives, new agonist and antagonist ligands for melatonin receptors, were resolved into their diastereomers by analytical HPLC methods using derivatized amylose, chiral stationary phases. Separation was by using normal phase methodology with a mobile phase ofn-hexane-alcohol (ethanol or 2-propanol) and a silica-based amylose tris-(S)-1-phenylethylcarbamate (Chiralpak AS), or tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate (Chiralpak AD). The effects of structural variation in the solutes were noted. Baseline separation was easily obtained in many cases.
