Hydrophobicity parameters determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. XV: optimal conditions for prediction of log P(oct) by using RP-HPLC procedures

The use of log k derived from reversed phase (RP)-HPLC retention times provides a convenient method for estimating log P(oct) values (P(oct): 1-octanol/water partition coefficient). In order to establish optimal HPLC conditions, the difference between chromatographic (C18 modified column and aqueous methanol eluents) and bulk solvent systems was examined by use of a batch-like equilibration with octane/aqueous methanol. Comparison of values for log P(O/M-W) (log P for the Octane/MeOH-Water partitioning system) and log k measured for monosubstituted pyrazines at different methanol concentrations, showed closest correlation (r, 0.94) with 50% aqueous methanol; and importantly, under these conditions, log k shows even better correlation (r, 0.99) with log P(oct). Effects of residual silanols on HPLC retention with C18 stationary phases were examined. The results show that, in the presence of a small quantity of accessible silanols, the use of 50% aqueous methanol (M50) as eluent yields values of log k directly proportional to log P(oct) in accord with our earlier proposal that use of log k(M50) provides a convenient means for rapid estimation and prediction of log P(oct).     

Micellar liquid chromatography: suitable technique for screening analysis

The screening capability of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is discussed using the reported chromatographic data of several sets of compounds (amino acids, beta-blockers, diuretics, phenethylamines, phenols, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, steroids and sulfonamides) and new results (sulfonamides and steroids). The chromatographic data are treated with an interpretive optimisation resolution procedure to obtain the best separation conditions. Usually, the pH and the concentration of surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) for the optimal mobile phase were 2.5-3 and < 0.12 M, respectively. The nature and concentration of organic solvent depended on the polarity of the eluted compounds: a low volume fraction of propanol (approximately 1%, v/v) was useful to separate the amino acids, with log P(o/w) < -1 (where P(o/w) is the octanol-water partition coefficient). A greater concentration of this solvent (approximately 5-7%) was needed for compounds in the range -1 < log P(o/w) < 2, as with the studied diuretics and sulfonamides, and a high concentration of propanol (approximately 15%) or a low concentration of butanol (< 10%) had to be used for less polar compounds with 1 < log P(o/w) < 3, such as the beta-blockers. Pentanol (< 6%) was more suitable for the even less polar compounds with log P(o/w) > 3, such as the steroids. For basic drugs such as the phenethylamines (0 < log P(o/w) < 1.7), eluted with a micellar eluent of anionic SDS, propanol was too weak. A study is also shown for mixtures of sulfonamides (log P(o/w) = -1.2 to 1.7) and steroids (log P(o/w) = 3.0-8.1) eluted from conventional C18 columns with SDS mobile phases containing acetonitrile and 1-pentanol, respectively, which are compared with classical acetonitrile-water and methanol-water mixtures. The results complement a previous study on beta-blockers (log P(o/w) = -0.03 to 2.8) and reveal that MLC is a very competitive technique for the screening of compounds against conventional RPLC, due to its peculiar behaviour with regard to the selectivity and elution strength. The concentration of organic solvent needed to obtain sufficiently low retention times (even for highly hydrophobic steroids with log P(o/w) = 7-8) is also appreciably smaller for MLC, which reduces the environmental impact of the mobile phases.     

Determination of lipophilicity of alpha-(4-phenylpiperazine) derivatives of N-benzylamides using chromatographic and computational methods

This paper describes the evaluation of lipophilicity of alpha-(4-phenylpiperazine) derivatives of N-benzylamides. We employed reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC) and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) as experimental methods, using mixtures of acetonitrile and water as the mobile phases with addition of 0.1%TFA in the HPLC experiments. Retention parameters (R(M)) and capacity factors (log k) determined by applying these methods were linearly dependent on the acetonitrile concentration and enabled us to estimate the relative lipophilicity factors: R(M0) and log k(0). These factors were compared with the calculated partition coefficients C log P obtained using several software packages. The results indicate that both experimental methods (RP-TLC and RP-HPLC) yielded similar results, and these methods enable determining the lipophilicity of alpha-(4-phenylpiperazine) derivatives of N-benzylamides. Significant correlations were found between log P values calculated by Pallas, ALOGPS and C log P Chem3D programs and the experimental data.

Comparison of the relationships between the retention of dansyl derivatives of aliphatic amines and eluent composition for normal-and reversed-phase liquid-solid TLC systems

Summary Dansyl derivatives of four long-chain primary aliphatic amines and five secondary aliphatic amines were chromatographed in two adsorption systems: heptane+diisopropyl ether — silica and water+methanol — octadecyl cilica. In the normal-phase system R_M (log k) values were approximately linearly dependent on the log concentration of diisopropyl ether in the eluent; the separation selectivity of dansyl C₈–C₁₂ primary amines was poor. For the reversed-phase system the derivatives of both primary and secondary amines were well separated, the log k values being linearly dependent on per cent concentration of methanol in the eluent.     

Screening of octanol-water partition coefficients for pharmaceuticals by pressure-assisted microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography

A rapid screening assay for the determination of octanol-water partition coefficients (log P(OW)) of pharmaceuticals was developed by using pressure-assisted microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC). The microemulsion system contains 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.87 M l-butanol, 82 mM heptane, and 50 mM borate-phosphate (2:3) at pH 10. Ten standard compounds with known log P(OW) values from -0.26 to 4.88 were used for constructing the calibration curve of log P(OW) against the MEEKC retention factor, log k. The log P(OW) values of the compounds were calculated based on the log k values measured by MEEKC and the slope and intercept of the calibration curve. For 13 literature and 32 Roche compounds, about 90% of the log P(OW) values measured by MEEKC are within 0.5 log units of the values from the literature and potentiometric titration. The throughput is about 2 samples/h using +20 kV voltage plus 5 mbar air pressure for separation. This MEEKC method is applicable for log P(OW) screening of weakly basic, weakly acidic, and neutral pharmaceuticals with log P(OW) = 0-5 and pKa < or = 10.     

Retention of some ring-substituted aniline derivatives by porous graphitized carbon. Dependence on physico-chemical parameters

Summary The retention characteristics of 22 aniline derivatives were determined on a porous, graphitized-carbon column in unbuffered acetonitrile-water and methanol-water mixtures. Each aniline derivative gave symmetrical peaks in each eluent without buffers. Good linear correlations were found between the log k and the concentration of the organic component in the eluent. The slope and intercept values differed according to the type of organic modifier and the charcter, number and position of substituents, indicating the different selectivities of methanol and acetonitrile and the good separating power of the column. Multivariate mathematical-statistical calculations proved that the retention of ring-substituted aniline derivatives is mainly governed by electronic parameters and the hydrogen acceptor capacity of substituents.     

An approach to the prediction of retention times in liquid chromatography

The utility of Rekker's hydrophobic fragmental constant has been examined for optimization of reversed-phase mode liquid chromatographic separations. The chromatographic behavior of about 60 non-ionic compounds was measured in different acetonitrile/water mixtures and the logarithm of their capacity factors (log k) was correlated with their calculated hydrophobicities (log P). Linear relations were found in each case between log k and log P. The slope of the various lines was related to the percentage concentration of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. It was shown that, by using nine stand ard compounds and measuring their capacity factors in five eluents with different acetonitrile concentrations, the retention time could be predicted for 60 compounds. Calculation of the concentration of the organic modifier was also possible in a system of well coated octadecyl bonded packings with acetonitrile/water mixtures as eluent. Prediction of the capacity factor was accomplished to within 5% error.     

Determination of lipophilicity for antitumor acridinone derivatives supported by gradient high-performance liquid chromatography method

The lipophilicity values of selected acridinone (imidazoacridinone and triazoloacridinone) derivatives were measured by gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using a C18 stationary phase with a water/acetonitrile mixture as a mobile phase. The retention times obtained served as input data and appropriate log k_w values (i.e., the retention factor log k_w extrapolated to 0% organic modifier) as an alternative to log P were calculated using the DryLab program. The relationships between the lipophilicity (log k_w) and the chemical structure of the studied compounds, as well as correlation between experimentally determined lipophilicities (log k_w) and log P data calculated using some commonly available software, are discussed.

Use of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in QSAR analysis of 2,4-dihydroxythiobenzanilide analogues

Thiobenzanilides are found to show strong biological activity as antimicrobial, antimycotic, and tuberculostatic agents. In addition, they are relatively weakly toxic to higher organisms. A large set of new (N-phenyl-)-2,4-dihydroxybenzenecarbothioamide derivatives was obtained. Preliminary studies showed high microbiological action of some of them. In the process of chromatographic analysis, several different chromatographic parameters were obtained. In case of RP-HPLC, these parameters correspond to hydrophobicity of the solute. Obtained chromatographic parameters exhibited moderate correlation with calculated log P parameter. Linear dependence of bacteriostatic or fungostatic activity on lipophilicity was observed. The degree of correlation of different parameters was compared. The lipophilicity of analysed tioamides was the most important factor responsible for fungostatic and bacteriostatic activity. In comparison to methanol eluent system, chromatographic parameters obtained in acetonitrile system were better correlated with bioactivity. Conversely with the calculated log P values, the experimentally derived parameters exhibited significant higher correlation to fungostatic activity determined on dermatophytes. While in case of other tested microorganisms log P was comparably or sometimes slightly better correlated.     

Relationships between LC retention, octanol-water partition coefficient, and fungistatic properties of 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)benzothiazoles

The retention behavior of newly synthesized compounds with antimycotic activity from the 2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole group by high-performance liquid chromatography has been investigated. RP-18 stationary phase and methanol-acetate buffer aqueous mobile phases at pH 4 and 7.4 have been used. In the case of the mobile phase at pH 7.4, higher concentrations of water can be applied than at pH 4. The studied compounds showed regular retention behavior, their log k values decreasing linearly with an increasing concentration of methanol in the mobile phase. On the basis of these relationships, the lipophilicity (log kw), specific hydrophobic surface area (S), and isocratic chromatographic hydrophobicity index (psi0) were determined. Similar log kw values and sensitivity to changes in the structure of compounds studied for both mobile phases have been found. Moderate correlations between the chromatographic parameters and the calculated octanol-water log P values were found. Finally, the lipophilicity parameters were compared with the fungistatic properties of compounds expressed by log MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values to find quantitative structure activity relationship equations.     

Suppressed electrostatic ion chromatography with tetraborate as eluent and its application to the determination of inorganic anions in snow and rainwater

Tetraborate is investigated as the eluent ion for suppressed electrostatic ion chromatography (EIC) using a zwitterionic stationary phase. Good separation of a range of inorganic anions (SO4(2-), Cl-, NO3-, Br-, NO3-, ClO3-, and I-) was obtained, with detection limits for highly conducting ions (SO4(2-), Cl-, NO2-, Br- , and NO3-) being less than 8 x 10(-8) M, and for weakly conducting anions (ClO3- and I-) being 2.7 x 10(-7) and 5.8 x 10(-7) M, respectively. Calibration curves were linear up to 1.8 mM of each analyte. Retention times were found to increase with increasing eluent concentration and a linear relationship was observed between log k' and log[Na2B4O7] for all analytes. This behaviour is attributed to the progressive formation of a binary electrical double layer at the surface of the zwitterionic stationary phase. Retention times of analytes could be manipulated by varying the concentration of the eluent. This new suppressed-EIC system was applied to the determination of inorganic anions (SO4(-2) , CI-, NO3-, NO2-, and Br-) in snow and rainwater samples.

RP-HPLC Retention Data of New 2-Amino-2-Oxazolines. An Approach of Their Lipophilic Properties

Abstract

A RP-HPLC procedure has been developed for measuring the capacity factor k' of a series of new 5-substituted-2-amino-2-oxazolines. the chromatographic behaviour measured on a μBondapack C₁₈ column with methanol-aqueous buffer as mobile phase was related to the volume fraction of methanol φ. the log k' value extrapolated to 0% organic modifier in the eluent (log k'_w) was chosen as a measure of the solute lipophilicity. A good correlation was found between the slope S and the intercept value (log k'_w) of the log k' versus φ straight lines for all these structurally related 2-amino-2-oxazolines.

Some parameters related either to chromatographic conditions or to chemical structure were shown to influence the capacity factor. A study made at different pH values indicated that log k'_w increased with the basicity of the mobile phase.

The influence of the eluent pH on the capacity factor of 2-amino-2-oxazolines was related to their pKa's values determined by a potentiometric method.

Since log k' is considered as a valuable indice of the lipophilicity, the determined values will be used for quantitative structure-activity relationship studies of these new class of structurally related compounds     

Micellar liquid chromatography retention model based on mass-action concept of micelle formation

Mass-action model of surfactant micelle formation has been used to develop a conceptual retention model in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC). The retention model bases on the consideration of the changes of the sorbate microenvironment at its transferring from the mobile phase (hybrid micellar eluent) to the stationary phase (a modified surface of alkyl-bounded sorbent). Principal retention equation contains the characteristics of hybrid micelles (critical micelle concentration, degree of counterion binding, partition coefficient of modifier between aqueous solution and micellar pseudo-phase) as well as three fitting parameters. The fitting parameters are an absolute term and coefficients that are equal to the number of molecules of surfactant and modifier, which are attached/detached by sorbate transferring from a hybrid micellar eluent to a modified surface of the stationary phase. On the MLC separation of five antibiotics of rubomicin derivatives and four esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid the model of the change of sorbate microenvironment has been tested. The adequateness of model to experimental data has been shown. A simple three-parameter function connecting log k with log cS and log cR that provides a high goodness-of-fit follows from principal retention equation (cS and cR are the molar concentrations of surfactant and organic modifier in the micellar eluent, respectively).     

Reversed Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Cetrimide Containing Eluents

Abstract

A radially compressed column, packed with micro particle, reversed phase (C 18) material, was used to study HPLC with cetrimide containing eluents. The amount of cetrimide adsorbed onto the stationary phase was measured; not the number of available adsorption sites, but rather the presence of micelles in the eluent appears to be the limiting factor for the uptake of cetrimide from the eluent.

The capacity factors, κ′, of several - mainly acidic - compounds were determined in this system, with varying pH and cetrimide concentration of the eluent (methanol-water, 50% w/w). The results obtained upon changing the pH of the eluent can not all be explained with an ion-exchange (or ion-pair) model.

Upon increasing the cetrimide concentration, maximum values in κ′ are reached at about the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of cetrimide in the eluent. The results of conductimetric experiments suggested, that the decrease of κ′ at cetrimide concentrations above this CMC, observed for most of the compounds, can be explained by partitioning of the solutes between the micelles and the bulk of the mobile phase. From these experiments it was also clear that ion-pair formation between cetrimide and solutes is possible.
