Separation of basic drug enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis using ovoglycoprotein as a chiral selector: comparison of chiral resolution ability of ovoglycoprotein and completely deglycosylated ovoglycoprotein

Separations of basic drug enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis (CE) using ovoglycoprotein (OGCHI) as a chiral selector are described. The effects of running buffer pH and 2-propanol content on the migration times and resolution of basic drug enantiomers were examined using a linear polyacrylamide-coated capillary. High resolution of basic drug enantiomers was attained using a mixture of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 4.5-6.0) and 2-propanol (5-30%) including 50 microM OGCHI. It was found that ionic and hydrophobic interactions could work for the recognition of basic drug enantiomers. Further, we compared the chiral resolution ability of OGCHI with that of completely deglycosylated OGCHI (cd-OGCHI) using them as chiral selectors in CE. OGCHI showed higher resolution for basic drug enantiomers tested than cd-OGCHI. The results suggest that the chiral recognition site(s) for OGCHI exists on the protein domain of OGCHI.     

Chiral separation of amino acids derivatized with fluoresceine-5isothiocyanate by capillary electrophoresis and laser-induced fluorescence detection using mixed selectors of beta-cyclodextrin and sodium taurocholate

Chiral separation of 20 pairs of amino acids derivatized with fluoresceine-5-isothiocyanate (FITC) by capillary electrophoresis and laser-induced fluorescence detection was studied using the mixture of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and sodium taurocholate (STC) as selector. Resolution was considerably superior to that obtained by using either beta-CD or STC alone. The molar ratio of beta-CD to STC of about 2:3 was found to be critical to achieve maximum separation. At this beta-CD-to-STC ratio, chiral separation occurred at really low total concentration of beta-CD and STC (<0.1 mM). Other impacting factors were investigated including the total concentration of beta-CD and STC, pH, and capillary conditioning procedure between two successive runs. Using a running buffer of 80 mM borate containing 20 mM beta-CD and 30 mM STC at pH 9.3, all of the 20 pairs of FITC-amino acid enantiomers were baseline resolved. The resolutions of the most pairs of the amino acid enantiomers (17 of 20) were higher than 3.0, only three pairs gave a resolution lower than 3.0 but higher than 1.90 (beta-phenylserine, pSer). The highest resolution reached 14.58 (Glu). Two derivatives of beta-CD, 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD) and heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-CD (DM-beta-CD) were also explored. HP-beta-CD showed similar cooperative effect with STC, while DM-beta-CD together with STC led to poorer chiral separation.     

Enantiomer separation of miconazole by capillary electrophoresis with dual cyclodextrin systems.

A cyclodextrin-modified micellar capillary electrophoretic method (MECC) was developed using mixtures of beta, cyclodextrins (beta-CD) and mono-3-O-phenylcarbamoyl-beta-CD as chiral additives for the chiral separation of miconazole with the dual CDs systems. The enantiomers were resolved using a running buffer of 50 mmol/L borate pH 9.5 containing 15 mmol/L beta-CD and 15 mmol/L mono-3-O-phenylcarbamoyl-beta-CD containing 50 mmol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1 mol/L urea. A study of the respective influence of the beta-CD and the mono-3-O-phenylcarbamoyl-beta-CD concentration was performed to determine the optimal conditions with respect to the resolution. Good repeatability of the method was obtained.     

Enatiomeric analysis of simendan by CE with beta-CD as chiral selector compared with CMPA-HPLC

The chiral separation of simendan enantiomers using capillary electrophoresis was studied with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as chiral selector. The influences of the concentration and pH of borate buffer solution, beta-CD concentration and methanol content in the background electrolyte were investigated. These factors were compared with those in an HPLC with beta-CD as chiral mobile phase additive (CMPA-HPLC). The quantification properties of the developed CE method were examined. A baseline separation of simendan enantiomers was achieved in the background electrolyte of 20 mmol/L borate buffer (pH 11.0) containing 12 mmol/L beta-CD-methanol (50:50 in volume ratio). The CE method is comparable with CMPA-HPLC in chiral resolution, although the optimal pH in CE (11.0) is much higher than that (6.0) in CMPA-HPLC. This chiral CE method is applicable to the quantitative ananlysis and enantiomeric excess value determination of L-simendan.     

Enantiomeric separation of citalopram and its metabolites by capillary electrophoresis

A simple and fast capillary electrophoretic method has been developed for the enantioselective separation of citalopram and its main metabolites, namely N-desmethylcitalopram and N,N-didesmethylcitalopram, using beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) sulfate as the chiral selector. For method optimisation several parameters were investigated, such as CD and buffer concentration, buffer pH, and capillary temperature. Baseline enantioseparation of the racemic compounds was achieved in less than 6 min using a fused-silica capillary, filled with a background electrolyte consisting of a 35 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 supplemented with 1% w/v beta-CD sulfate and 0.05% w/v beta-CD at 25 degrees C and applying a voltage of -20 kV. A fast separation method for citalopram was also optimized and applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations. Racemic citalopram was resolved in its enantiomers in less than 1.5 min using short-end injection (8.5 cm, effective length) running the experiments in a background electrolyte composed of a 25 mM citrate buffer at pH 5.5 and 0.04% w/v beta-CD sulfate at a temperature of 10 degrees C.

Experimental design for enantioselective separation of celiprolol by capillary electrophoresis using sulfated beta-cyclodextrin

A capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed for the enantioseparation of celiprolol enantiomers, using a sulfated beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as a chiral selector. The use of a coated capillary was necessary to achieve stable and reproducible enantioseparations. A central composite design was applied to optimize the method and four parameters were selected for this study: the buffer pH, the buffer concentration, the sulfated beta-CD concentration and the temperature. Resolution between celiprolol enantiomers as well as analysis time and generated current were established as responses. For each response, a model was obtained by a second-degree mathematical expression. From the models, the most favorable conditions were determined by optimizing the resolution between celiprolol enantiomers and by setting the two other responses at threshold values. Response surfaces were also used to assess the robustness of the analytical method around the optimal region. Successful results were obtained with a 52 mM acetate buffer at pH 4.0 in the presence of 3.0 mM sulfated beta-CD at a temperature of 19.5 degrees C. Under these optimized conditions, baseline separation of the celiprolol enantiomers was achieved in less than 10 min. The method showed good validation data in terms of precision, accuracy and linearity, and was found to be suitable in determining celiprolol enantiomers in pharmaceutical preparations and in biological fluids.     

Chiral capillary electrophoretic separation of amino acids derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate using mixed chiral selectors of beta-cyclodextrin and sodium taurodeoxycholate

Chiral separation of 19 pairs of amino acid (AA) enantiomers derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate (FMOC) was successfully conducted by capillary electrophoresis using the mixture of beta-CD and sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC) as selectors. Resolution was considerably superior to that obtained by using either beta-CD or STDC alone. After a systematic inspection, a buffer composed of 150 mM borate and 18% v/v isopropanol at pH 8.0, dissolved with 30 mM beta-CD and 30 mM STDC, was adopted and able to generate baseline resolution (>1.50) for 17 pairs of FMOC-AA enantiomers and somewhat lower resolution for arginine (1.36) and alanine (1.18), respectively. Experimental data revealed that the addition of the second selector did not increase the mobility difference between a pair of enantiomers (Delta mu = mu(D) - mu(L) and the number of theoretical plates (N), but decreased the summed apparent mobility of a pair of enantiomers (Sigma mu = mu(D) - mu(L)), which was mainly due to the decrease of the electroosmotic flow. The variation of Sigma mu was thus the major reason responsible for the improvement of chiral resolution in this study. The result demonstrated that not only the intrinsic selectivity of the selectors was the basis of the chiral separation, but also the non-chiral effect of the selectors, the change of the electroosmotic flow, was an important factor in enhancing the enantioseparation resolution. This study could probably help to explain the reasons for resolution improvement in some dual selectors systems, which are not very clear at present.     

Enantioseparations of hydrobenzoin and structurally related compounds in capillary zone electrophoresis using heptakis(2,3-dihydroxy-6-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selector and enantiomer migration reversal of hydrobenzoin with a dual cyclodextrin system in the presence of borate complexation

We investigated the enantioseparations of racemic hydrobenzoin, together with benzoin and benzoin methyl ether, in capillary electrophoresis (CE) using the single-isomer heptakis(2,3-dihydroxy-6-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin (SI-S-beta-CD) as a chiral selector in the presence and absence of borate complexation and enantiomer migration reversal of hydrobenzoin with a dual CD system consisting of SI-S-beta-CD and beta-CD in the presence of borate complexation at pH 9.0 in a borate buffer. The enantioselectivity of hydrobenzoin increased remarkably with increasing SI-S-beta-CD concentration and the enantioseparation depended on CD complexation between hydrobenzoin-borate and SI-S-beta-CD. The (S,S)-enantiomer of hydrobenzoin-borate complexes interacted more strongly than the (R,R)-enantiomer with SI-S-beta-CD. The enantiomers of hydrobenzoin could be baseline-resolved in the presence of SI-S-beta-CD at a concentration as low as 0.1% w/v, whereas the three test analytes were simultaneously enantioseparated with addition of 0.3% w/v SI-S-beta-CD or at concentrations >2.0% w/v in a borate buffer and 0.5% w/v in a phosphate background electrolyte at pH 9.0. Compared with the results obtained previously using randomly sulfated beta-CD (MI-S-beta-CD) in a borate buffer, enantioseparation of these three benzoin compounds is more advantageously aided by SI-S-beta-CD as the chiral selector. The enantioselectivity of hydrobenzoin depended greatly on the degree of substitution of sulfated beta-CD. Moreover, binding constants of the enantiomers of benzoin compounds to SI-S-beta-CD and those of hydrobenzoin-borate complexes to SI-S-beta-CD were evaluated for a better understanding of the role of CD complexation in the enantioseparation and chiral recognition. Enantiomer migration reversal of hydrobenzoin could be observed by varying the concentration of beta-CD, while keeping SI-S-beta-CD at a relatively low concentration. SI-S-beta-CD and beta-CD showed the same chiral recognition pattern but they exhibited opposite effects on the mobility of the enantiomers.     

Use of vancomycin as chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis. Optimization and quantitation of loxiglumide enantiomers in pharmaceuticals

Vancomycin has been used as chiral selector for the enantiomers separation of D, L-loxiglumide, a new drug proposed for the treatment of gastrointestinal pathology. The chiral selector, dissolved at very low concentration in the running buffer, filled only part of the capillary (polyacrylamide coated) and allowed chiral resolution in less than 12 min using a 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 6. The partial separation technique allowed to obtain a detection limit of 0.5 μg/ml for each enantiomer avoiding the drop in sensitivity due to the strong UV absorption of vancomycin when present in the detector path. The effects of vancomycin concentration and buffer pH on enantiomers resolution have been studied in order to find the optimum experimental conditions for the chiral purity control of drug. The optimized method, using the internal standard, showed good reproducibility for both migration times and normalized peak area ratio and for linearity. Under the studied operating conditions it was possible to detect 0.2 % (w/w) of L-loxiglumide as a chiral impurity. Analysis of pharmaceutical preparations of D-loxiglumide did not reveal the presence of the impurity (L-isomer).     

Chiral resolution of basic drugs by capillary electrophoresis with new glycosaminoglycans

New glycosaminoglycans, fucose-containing glycosaminoglycan (FGAG) and depolymerized holothurian glycosaminoglycan (DHG), were investigated as chiral additives for the separation of drug enantiomers by capillary electrophoresis. The average molecular masses of FGAG and DHG were estimated to be about 59,000 and 14,000, respectively. A variety of basic drug enantiomers were resolved using 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 5.0, containing 3% FGAG or DHG. Since chiral recognition properties of FGAG and DHG are different, some drug enantiomers were only separated by using FGAG or DHG. With regard to comparison of chiral recognition abilities of FGAG and DHG with other chiral selectors, tolperisone and eperisone enantiomers were not separated with alpha- or beta-cyclodextrin, or heparin as the chiral additives, but were separated with FGAG and DHG. The results obtained reveal that FGAG and DHG are useful as the chiral selectors for separations of drug enantiomers by CE, and that they could be complementarily used with other chiral additives.

Separation and migration behavior of structurally related phenothiazines in cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis

The influences of buffer pH and the concentration of beta-cyclodextrins (beta-CDs) on the separation and migration behavior of 13 structurally related phenothiazines in CD-modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE) using a phosphate background electrolyte at low pH were investigated. We focused on the separation of these phenothiazines, including the enantiomers of chiral analytes, with the use of beta-CD and hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD) as electrolyte modifiers or chiral selectors at concentrations less than 8 mM. The results indicate that the interactions of phenothiazines with beta-CDs are very strong and that effective separations of 13 analytes can be achieved with addition of 0.3 mM beta-CD or 0.5 mM HP-beta-CD in a phosphate buffer at pH 3.0. Binding constants of phenothiazines to beta-CDs were evaluated for a better understanding of the interactions of phenothiazines with beta-CDs.

Six chiral drugs, such as anisodamine, ketoconazole, propranolol, promethazine, adrenaline and chlorphenamine enantiomers, belonging to different classes of compounds of pharmaceutical interest were resolved.
