键合型多糖手性固定相因具有化学稳定性高和溶剂耐受性好的特点而受到研究者的极大关注。采用施陶丁格（Staudinger）反应将6-叠氮-6-脱氧纤维素-3,5-二氯苯基氨基甲酸酯键合到氨丙基硅胶上得到一种新的键合型手性固定相（ImCel）,研究了其手性分离性能,并探讨了非常规流动相（如氯仿、四氢呋喃等）的影响。结果表明,在20对手性化合物中,17对在合适的流动相下得到基线分离。ImCel在正相条件下的分离性能优于反相条件,且在含氯仿的流动相中仍对手性化合物表现出良好的分离能力。在分离一系列芴甲氧羰基（fmoc）-氨基酸衍生物时,ImCel与键合6-叠氮-6-脱氧纤维素-3,5-二甲基苯基氨基甲酸酯的手性固定相表现出互补性,出现了固定相改变引起的对映体洗脱反转现象。本研究丰富了键合型多糖手性固定相的种类和合成方法,为开发新的键合型手性固定相提供了参考。     

Enantioselective aptameric molecular recognition material: Design of a novel chiral stationary phase for enantioseparation of a series of chiral herbicides by capillary electrochromatography

A chiral stationary phase derived from an L-RNA aptamer is evaluated for the enantiomer separation of a series of herbicide molecules (aryloxypropionic, aryloxyphenoxypropionic, and aminopropionic acid) by CEC after binding to biotin and grafting upon streptavidin-modified porous glass beads. We demonstrated that the aptamer capillary was stable in term of efficiency and retention during a long period. The influences of the mobile phase constitution and its flow-velocity on the enantioseparation were also investigated. The results suggest that the interactions of the enantiomer during CEC are solely based on chromatographic mechanisms and that the electrophoresis plays only a minor role. The separation efficiency and peak shape could be improved by Mg2+ divalent cation that stabilized the aptamer secondary structure and thus enhanced the mass transfer kinetics during the ligand-aptamer binding process. In addition, it was demonstrated that the determination of the enantiomerization barrier of flamprop was possible using this chiral stationary phase.

Enantiomeric separation by capillary electrochromatography. I. Chiral separation of dansyl amino acids and organochlorine pesticides on a diol-silica dynamically coated with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin

In this work, a commercially available diol-silica stationary phase was converted in situ to a chiral stationary phase by dynamically coating it with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD). This stationary phase was shown useful for the capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separation of neutral and anionic enantiomers such as some organochlorine pesticides and dansyl amino acids, respectively. The inclusion of HP-beta-CD in the mobile phase to produce the in situ chiral stationary phase allowed the rapid separation of the anionic dansyl amino acid enantiomers at relatively low electroosmotic flow (EOF). The formation of host-guest complexes between the dansyl amino acids and the neutral HP-beta-CD in the mobile phase lowered the actual charge-to-mass ratios of the anionic solutes, thus speeding up their transport by the EOF across the packed capillary column. Several parameters affecting enantioseparation were investigated, including the concentration of HP-beta-CD, ionic strength, pH, and organic modifier content of the mobile phase.     

Enantiomeric separation by capillary electrochromatography. II. Chiral separation of dansyl amino acids and phenoxy acid herbicides on sulfonated silica having surface-bound hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin

A chiral silica-based stationary phase having surface-bound hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) with a relatively strong electroosmotic flow (EOF) was introduced for enantioseparation by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The stationary phase contained a hydrophilic sulfonated sublayer to which a chiral top layer of HP-beta-CD was immobilized. While the sulfonated sublayer was to provide a relatively strong EOF, the top HP-beta-CD was to confer the desired chiral recognition towards enantiomeric solutes. This HP-beta-CD sulfonated silica (CDSS) stationary phase proved useful for the rapid separation of anionic enantiomers such as dansyl amino acids and phenoxy acid herbicides. The effects of the organic modifier content, pH, and ionic strength of the mobile phase on enantioseparation were investigated. Under the optimized separation conditions, ten dansyl amino acids and six phenoxy acid herbicides were enantioseparated with a resolution greater than unity.     

The study of enantioseparation of zolmitriptan on vancomycin-bonded chiral stationary phase

In this study, the chiral stationary phase was prepared by bonding vancomycin to 5 microm spherical silica gel according to "one-pot" synthetic strategies, and used to separate the enantiomers of zolmitriptan under polar ionic mode. The influences of mobile phase composition, such as the concentration and ratio of glacial acetic acid (HOAc) and triethylamine (TEA), on the enantioseparation were investigated, and the chiral recognition mechanism is discussed. It was found experimentally that the retention factors were increased with the increase of the HOAc/TEA concentration in a certain extent, and the ionic interactions, hydrogen bondings, and steric interactions may play key role together. The method is suitable for baseline separation of zolmitriptan enantiomers.     

Chiral metal-organic cages used as stationary phase for enantioseparations in capillary electrochromatography

Since some metal-organic cages (MOCs) have been synthesized in past several years, the applications of MOCs such as drug delivery, molecular recognition, separation, catalysis, and gas storage, etc. have been witnessed with a significant increase. However, to the best of our knowledge, so far no one has used MOCs as chiral stationary phase to separate chiral compounds in CEC. In this study, three MOCs were developed as the stationary phase for CEC separation of enantiomers. The MOCs coated capillary column showed good chiral recognition ability for some chiral compounds, including amine, alcohols, ketone, etc. The influence of buffer concentration, applied voltage, pH of buffer solution on the chiral separations was also investigated. The RSDs of run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column for retention time were 2.1-4.67%, 1.2-4.36%, and 3.62-6.43%, respectively. This work reveals that the chiral MOCs material is feasible for the enantioseparation in CEC.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of beta-3-homo-amino acid stereoisomers on a (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid-based chiral stationary phase

High-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of the enantiomers of thirteen unusual beta-3-homo-amino acids and three of its ethyl esters on a chiral stationary phase containing (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid as chiral selector. The effects of the mobile phase composition and the acidic modifiers on the separation were investigated. The structures of the substituents in beta-position substantially influenced the retention and enantioseparation. The influence of ionic strength on the enantioseparation was established experimentally. The elution sequence was determined in all cases.     

Azithromycin as a new chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis

In capillary electrophoresis (CE), separation of enantiomers of a chiral compound can be achieved through the chiral interactions and/or complex formation between the chiral selector and the enantiomeric analytes on leaving their diastereomeric forms with different stability constants and hence different mobilities. A great number of chiral selectors have been employed in CE and among them macrocyclic antibiotics exhibited excellent enantioselective properties towards a wide number of racemic compounds. The use of azithromycin (AZM) as a chiral selector has not been reported previously. This work reports the use of AZM as a chiral selector for the enantiomeric separations of five chiral drugs and one amino acid (tryptophan) in CE. The enantioseparation is carried out using polar organic mixtures of acetonitrile (ACN), methanol (MeOH), acetic acid and triethylamine as run buffer. The influences of the chiral selector concentration, ACN/MeOH ratio, applied voltage and capillary temperature on enantioseparation are investigated. The results show that AZM is a viable chiral selector in CE for the enantioseparation of the type of chiral drugs investigated.

High-performance liquid chromatographic enantioseparation of beta-amino acid stereoisomers on a (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid-based chiral stationary phase

Direct reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of enantiomers of 14 unnatural beta-amino acids, including several beta-3-homo-amino acids on a chiral stationary phase containing (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid bonded to 3-aminopropyl silica gel as chiral selector. The effects of the organic and the acidic modifiers and the mobile phase composition on the separation were investigated. The natures and positions of the substituents on the aromatic ring substantially influenced the retention and enantioseparation. The elution sequence in most cases was determined and the R enantiomers were eluteted before the S enantiomers.     

2,3-di-O-methoxymethyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-beta-cyclodextrin, a useful stationary phase for gas chromatographic separation of enantiomers

Heptakis(2,3-di-O-methoxymethyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (2,3-MOM-6-TBDMS-beta-CD), synthesized by using methoxymethylchloride (MOM-Cl) as derivatization reagent, was used for capillary gas chromatographic separation of enantiomers. The new chiral stationary phase proved to be suitable for the enantiodifferentiation of volatiles from various chemical classes. Compared to the corresponding gamma-CD derivative (2,3-MOM-6-TBDMS-gamma-CD), the spectrum of compounds for which enantiomers could be separated was more limited and the enantioseparation achieved was generally less pronounced. Unusually high separation factors were observed for 2-alkyl esters of short chain acids (C2-C6). Phenomena underlying the enantioseparation of 2-pentyl acetate (alpha: 4.31; 35 degrees C) were investigated by determining thermodynamic parameters. Data show that only one enantiomer is retained significantly on the chiral stationary phase whereas the other one behaves like the hydrocarbons used as references.

HPLC Enantioseparation of Novel Spirobrassinin Analogs on the Cyclofructan Chiral Stationary Phases

A novel series of nine chiral analogs of spirobrassinin, which have potential biological activity, was separated for the first time on three different derivatized cyclofructan chiral stationary phases in the normal phase mode. The effects of mobile phase composition, the type and concentration of polar modifier, additives, and the analyte structure on the retention and enantioseparation were studied. The results proved that for cyclofructan-based chiral stationary phases, the R-naphthylethyl carbamate cyclofructan 6 provides the best separation efficiency for the analyzed compounds. The effect of temperature on the separation was also investigated and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters were evaluated from linear Van’t Hoff plots (lnk or lnα versus 1/T). It was found that the enantioseparation was enthalpy controlled. In addition, the elution order of the enantiomers was determined in all the cases.     

Comparative studies of immobilized polysaccharide derivatives chiral stationary phases for enantioseparation of furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones and discussion on chiral recognition mechanism

Enantiomeric separation of furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones compounds were systematically studied in the normal-phase mode using four different polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases, namely, Chiralpak IA, Chiralpak IC, Chiralpak IG, and Chiralpak IK-3 by high-performance liquid chromatography. The effect of alcohol modifiers and alcohol content on enantiomeric separation was evaluated for the separation of furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones. All the eight compounds have achieved baseline separation with the resolutions ranging between 1.52 and 23.11. For a better insight into the enantiorecognition mechanisms, thermodynamic analysis was carried out. The mechanisms of chiral recognition have been discussed. Among four chiral columns, Chiralpak IG exhibited the most universal and the best enantioseparation ability toward furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones when used n-hexane-isopropanol and n-hexane-ethanol as mobile phase, respectively. The steric hindrance, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interaction played major roles in chiral recognition on Chiralpak IG. By comparing four chiral columns, this work systematically analyzed the separation methods of furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones for the first time and reported some active chiral ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine that have never been separated, which provided a further insight into the enantioseparation of furanocoumarins and dihydroflavones on chiral stationary phases.     

Doubly tethered tertiary amide linked and ionically bonded diproline chiral stationary phases

Oligoproline chiral stationary phase (CSP) is a new class peptide chiral stationary phase. Many proline chiral stationary phases with different proline chain lengths and linkers have been prepared and evaluated. However, the doubly tethered and ionic type linkers have not been adequately investigated. In this study, covalently and ionically bonded chiral stationary phases with doubly tethered linker were prepared and characterized. The new covalently bonded doubly tethered diproline CSP was applied successfully to resolve various enantiomers of acidic, basic, and neutral compounds with phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, or similarly sized groups. The enantiorecognition performances of singly and doubly tethered diproline CSPs were comparable. Variation of the type and content of organic modifiers in hexane or heptane mobile phase showed that the branch alcohols such as 2‐propanol and 2‐butanol, 1,2‐dichloroethane, methyl tert‐butyl ether, and ethyl acetate in the mobile phase enhanced chiral separation. End‐capping on doubly tethered diproline CSP did not always improve the separation factor and resolution. Due to the rigid structure of the double tether, the enantioseparation ability of ionically bonded diproline CSP was well expressed to some analytes.     

Chiral separation and molecular simulation study of six antihistamine agents on a coated cellulose tri-(3,5-dimethylphenycarbamate) column (Chiralcel OD-RH) and its recognition mechanisms

Enantiomeric separation of six antihistamine agents was first systematically investigated on a cellulose-based chiral stationary phase (CSP), that is, cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethyl phenyl carbamate) (Chiralcel OD-RH), under the reversed-phase mode. Orphenadrine, meclizine, terfenadine, dioxopromethazine, and carbinoxamine enantiomers were completely separated under the optimized mobile phase conditions with resolutions of 5.02, 1.93, 1.68, 1.67, and 1.54, respectively. Mequitazine was partially separated with a resolution of 0.77. The influences of type and concentration of buffer salt, the pH of buffer solution, and the type and ratio of organic modifier on the chiral separation were evaluated and optimized. For a better insight into the enantiorecognition mechanisms, molecular docking was carried out via the Autodock software. The lowest binding energy and the optimal conformations of the analytes/CSP complexes were supplied, and the mechanisms of chiral recognition were determined. According to the results, the key interactions for the chiral recognition of these six analytes on CDMPC were π–π interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bond interactions, and some special interactions.

The Study of Separation and Thermodynamics of Adsorption of the Enantiomers of Ethofumasate on a Modified Cellulose

Abstract

Cellulose and cellulose derivatives are biopolymers that are often used as stationary phases for the separation of enantiomers. Describing the mechanism of such separations is a difficult task due to the complexity of these phases. In the present study, direct enantiomeric resolution of ethofumesate has been achieved, using hexane as the mobile phase with various alcoholic modifiers on cellulose tri(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase (CDMPC CSP). The influence of the mobile phase composition and the column temperature on the chiral separation was studied. It was found that at a constant temperature and within a certain range of alcohol modifier concentration, the conformation of the polymeric phase, and the selective adsorption sites were not affected by alcohol modifier concentration. The type and the concentration of the alcoholic modifiers influenced the retention factor and the separation factor. Ethofumesate gained the best enantioseparation using sec‐butanol as alcoholic modifier at 25°C with α‐value 1.70. And the separation factor decreased with the increase of the column temperature. The van't Hoff plots were linear (R ²>0.96) for ethofumesate from 25°C to 50°C. That showed the enantioselective interactions do not change over the temperature range studied. Furthermore the values of ΔH° and ΔS° were both negative, which indicated an enthalpy‐driven separation. And the possible chiral recognition mechanism of the analyte and CDMPC was discussed. It was found that hydrogen bonding plays an important role on enantioseparation of CDMPC CSP. The inclusion and fitness of solute shape in the chiral cavity significantly contributed to the enantioseparation of solute.     

Comparison of vancomycin-based stationary phases with different chiral selector coverage for enantioselective separation of selected drugs in high-performance liquid chromatography

Two vancomycin-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with different coverage of the chiral selector vancomycin (Chirobiotic V and Chirobiotic V2) were compared. beta-Blockers and profens, as structurally diverse groups of drugs, were chosen as analytes. Retention and enantioseparation of beta-blockers were studied in reversed-phase (RP) and polar-organic (PO) separation modes. Higher retention and better enantioresolution were obtained on the CSP with higher coverage of vancomycin in the both separation modes. Baseline separation of four beta-blockers (eight enantiomers) in the PO mode was achieved on the Chirobiotic V2 column within 15 min. The enantioseparation of profens did not bring so excellent and easy to interpret results. Higher retention of profens on the Chirobiotic V2 column was not always accompanied by an improvement of their chiral separation in the RP mode. The polar-organic mode was not suitable for these derivatives at all. The most interesting result was obtained with flobufen; its chiral center is further away from the rigid part of the molecule, which mostly causes difficulties in enantioselective recognition. Nevertheless, the enantiomers of flobufen were shown to be much better (baseline) resolved on the CSP with lower coverage of the chiral selector (Chirobiotic V).
