Polyketide analysis using mass spectrometry,evaporative light scattering,and charged aerosol detector systems

In this study, a mass spectrometer (MS), an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD), and a charged aerosol detector (CAD) were used to analyze an erythromycin precursor (termed 6-deoxyerythronolide B). The work highlights the capabilities of each detector to analyze a representative polyketide compound that does not possess a natural chromophore, and presents the first comparison to include a charged aerosol system. Each detector was evaluated based upon limit of detection (LOD), dynamic range, and precision in the context of polyketide analysis. Due to its low LOD, wide dynamic range, and ability to provide molecular weight information, the MS was deemed the best detection option for the analysis of low-concentration, poorly identified polyketide compounds. Alternatively, both the CAD and ELSD systems studied showed better precision and accuracy. The ELSD demonstrated the best precision at 3%, but its LOD was limited to concentrations primarily greater than or equal to 1 mg/L. The Corona CAD demonstrated a LOD (0.012 mg/L) and dynamic range comparable to mass spectroscopy and therefore serves as a more cost-efficient alternative for polyketide production schemes with low titers.     

HPLC analysis of polyphenols in the fruits of Rubus idaeus L. (Rosaceae)

The separation of anthocyanins present in the fruits of 11 varieties of red raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) was performed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode-array detector and evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD). The ELSD parameters--drift tube temperature, nebulising gas flow rate and gain value--were optimised to get the best detection and identification of the anthocyanins. The varieties Heritage and Willamette had the simplest anthocyanin sets consisting of only two predominant anthocyanins--cyanidin-3-O-sophoroside (1) and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (3), while in the other varieties two other predominant compounds were also present, cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside (4) and cyanidin-3-O-(2(G)-O-glucosylrutinoside) (2). Moreover, using ELSD, simultaneous analysis of anthocyanins and sanguiin H-6 (5), an ellagitannin, was performed. The contents of anthocyanins and sanguiin H-6 (5) were estimated by HPLC with ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light detection. The determined concentrations of anthocyanins varied from 76.22 to 277.06 mg per 100 g of dry weight (d.w.). The content of sanguiin H-6 (5) was in the range from 135.04 to 547.48 mg per 100 g of d.w.     

Interference of chitosan in glucose analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection

The purpose of this work was to quantify glucose in aqueous solutions containing chitosan by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD). Chitosan is a natural compound that is used alone or as an additive in several formulations. Microencapsulation of bioactive compounds such as glucose, by means of chitosan, is being explored, but difficulties arise when glucose needs to be determined in the presence of chitosan. HPLC is the technique most commonly used for glucose analysis, and ELSD may offer advantages (e.g. sensitivity and the possibility of operating in gradient mode) compared with other detectors. The influence of chitosan in the analysis of glucose by HPLC with ELSD was investigated at different pH values of the aqueous solutions. Isocratic elution with an acetonitrile/water mixture (80:20, v/v) and water washing between runs were the best options to avoid the mucoadhesive properties of chitosan, which are responsible for column degradation and variability of the retention time of glucose. The developed methodology was considered completely adequate for rapid glucose analysis in aqueous solutions with low pH (< 3), in the presence of chitosan.     

Analysis of guanidine in high salt and protein matrices by cation-exchange chromatography and UV detection

A simple and sensitive HPLC method for quantitative determination of guanidine in high salt and protein matrices was developed. The HPLC system consisted of an Agilent 1100 pump with an online degasser, a UV detector, an autosampler, and Dionex CS 14 cation-exchange guard (4 mm x 50 mm) and analytical (4 mm x 250 mm) columns. The mobile phase was 3.75 mM methanesulfonic acid (MSA) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The other analysis parameters were: 50 microL injection volume, 195 nm UV detection, and 21 min runtime. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for guanidine HCl was determined to be 0.25 mg/L and the standard curve ranged from 0.25 mg/L to 10 mg/L. Sample preparation was required for the samples containing high protein concentrations. Proteins were removed by centrifuging a sample in a 30 K NanoSep centrifugal filter at 15,300 x g for 20 min. The method could determine guanidine accurately in sample matrices containing up to 200 mM sodium ion or up to 50 mM potassium ion. The method can be used for clearance testing of guanidine in biopharmaceutical products.     

Anomalies in evaporative light scattering detection

A two-dimensional (2-D) “heart-cutting” HPLC system was used to fractionate oligostyrenes into the respective diastereoisomers. For samples of known composition, the response of an ultraviolet (UV) absorbance detector followed the anticipated pattern. The response of an evaporative light-scattering (ELSD) detector on the other hand indicated quite different concentrations for the two diastereoisomers, relative to what was anticipated and what was indicated by the UV detector. Whereas approximately the same concentration was indicated by UV, ELSD in some cases indicated no detection of the later eluting isomer. The magnitude of the errors depended on both the molecular weight and the tacticity of the diastereomers. These anomalies appear to be an artifact of power transform functions imbedded within the firmware processor of the ELSD, invisible to the user.     

Separation and determination of carbohydrates in drinks by ion chromatography with a self-regenerating suppressor and an evaporative light-scattering detector

Analysis of glucose and other carbohydrates are often performed by use of normal phase HPLC methods with acetonitrile as major eluent coupled with evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD) or by use of anion-exchange ion chromatography (IC) methods with NaOH as eluent coupled with pulsed amperimetric electrochemical detector. In this work, a novel method for the determination of carbohydrates by IC in conjunction with a self-regenerating suppressor and an ELSD detector was investigated. Three carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) were separated using a KOH eluent generator to avoid the effect of carbon dioxide absorption in the alkaline eluent. Due to the use of the suppressor, non-volatile components were removed and a low salt background (K+ approximately 0.070 microg/mL) can be obtained so the suppressed eluent could directly go into an ELSD detector without obvious interference of inorganic salts. After examining the changes in retention and resolution, an optimized method was established (for IC: using 32 mM KOH as the eluent at a flow rate of 1 mL/min; for ELSD: operated at 95 degrees C, 4.0 bar nitrogen with a gas flow rate of 2.0 L/min) and the linearity, reproducibility, and the limit of detection (LOD) for the three carbohydrates were further evaluated. Regression equations revealed acceptable linearity (correlation coefficients=0.994-0.998) across the working-standard range (100-1000 microg/mL for glucose and sucrose, 150-1000 microg/mL for fructose) and LODs of glucose, fructose, and sucrose were 93, 126, and 90 microg/mL, respectively. This method has successfully been applied to the determination of the three carbohydrates in carbonated cola drinks and fruit juices. The recoveries were between 95 and 113% (n=3) for different carbohydrates.     

Thermal stability of glucose and other sugar aldoses in normal phase high performance liquid chromatography

Analysis of glucose and other simple sugars are often performed by use of normal phase HPLC methods with acetonitrile as major eluent. The present results clearly show that column temperature plays an important role with respect to chromatographic performance and detection limits of glucose when using a specific carbohydrate column. A change in column temperature from 25 to 45 degrees C reduced the detection of glucose (with ELSD) by more than 41%, whereas the detection of other sugar aldoses (galactose, xylose and rhamnose) were suppressed even more. By increase of column temperature to 70 degrees C the detector signal of glucose was found to be less than 2% compared to that obtained at 20 degrees C. Neither fructose nor sucrose showed similar correlation between column temperature and detection. The rate of decreased response is not dependent on sample concentration or the ELSD settings. The results express the importance of accurate temperature control in the analysis of sugar aldoses, and also values low column temperatures for samples with low concentrations of sugar aldoses in order to improve detection.

Direct determination of residual Pluronic F-68 in in-process samples from monoclonal antibody preparations by high performance liquid chromatography

A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to determine residual Pluronic F-68 (PF-68) in in-process samples of monoclonal antibody (MAb) preparations. The method permits the direct injection of proteinaceous samples after simple sample dilution and is able to quantitate as low as 50 mg/L of PF-68 in the presence of up to approximately 30 g/L of protein. The PF-68 molecule was separated on a restricted access reversed phase column using a step gradient and then measured by an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). The method was successfully applied to demonstrate PF-68 clearance in MAb purification processes. A modified colorimetric method using liquid-liquid extraction and cobalt thiocyanate to derivatize PF-68 is also described. The results obtained by both the HPLC and colorimetric methods were compared. In addition to its ease of use and simplicity, the HPLC method had better accuracy and higher throughput than the colorimetric method.     

Performance evaluation of evaporative light scattering detection and charged aerosol detection in reversed phase liquid chromatography

In pharmaceutical industry ultraviolet (UV) detection is often used as the preferred detection technique in HPLC analysis since most pharmaceutical compounds possess a UV-absorbing chromophore. However, in case the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) does not have a UV-absorbing chromophore, or if some of the impurities present lack a chromophore, they will not be detected in routine HPLC analysis employing only a UV detector and alternative detection schemes have to be used. Refractive index detection or mass spectroscopy (MS) can be used but these detectors have their intrinsic weaknesses, such as lack of sensitivity or high cost. With the appearance of semi-universal techniques such as evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD), and more recent, charged aerosol detection (CAD), detection of non-UV-absorbing compounds became feasible without having to resort to such complex or costly detection methods. This paper evaluates the different performance characteristics such as sensitivity, linearity, accuracy and precision of both the ELSD and CAD detector coupled to HPLC. One disadvantage of this type of detector is the non-linear response behaviour which makes direct linear regression for making calibration curves inaccurate.     

Carbohydrate analysis: From sample preparation to HPLC on different stationary phases coupled with evaporative light‐scattering detection

After 20 years of development, evaporative light‐scattering detection (ELSD) has become the mainstream choice for the detection of various classes of natural products. ELSD continues to grow in popularity as a “quasi‐universal” technique because of the specificity of the detection method, which is based on the scattering of laser light from nonvolatile analyte particles. It represents an attractive alternative compared to other types of detection, such as refractive index detection and/or ultraviolet detection. This review presents issues concerned with the separation of carbohydrates in plant materials by HPLC and ELSD, as well as the advantages and limitations relating to the ELSD method. Additionally, an overview of possible ELSD applications in the analysis of carbohydrates in natural products is presented.

HPLC‐ELSD analysis of spectinomycin dihydrochloride and its impurities

A simple, rapid and reliable reversed‐phase ion‐pair chromatography method by HPLC coupled to an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) has been developed to simultaneously determine chloride, spectinomycin and its related substances in a sample. The column was a TSKgel ODS‐100V. The mobile phase was ACN/aqueous solution of 15 mM ammonium acetate adjusted with TFA to pH 3.0 (2:98 v/v), in an isocratic mode. The drift tube temperature was set at 50°C and the nebulizing gas flow rate of air was 3.5 L/min for ELSD detection. Almost all of the reported degradation compounds of spectinomycin such as actinamine, actinospectinoic acid and biosynthesis intermediates such as dihydrospectinomycin diastereoisomers were baseline separated. MS was utilized for the identification of spectinomycin and its seven related substances. The method for the assay of spectinomycin was successfully validated with respect to accuracy, precision (RSD less than 2%), linearity (throughout the linear range 0.025–3 mg/mL, r=0.9993), sensitivity (LOD: 100 ng on column) and robustness. The experimental results demonstrated that the simultaneous determination of chloride, spectinomycin and related substances is feasible in a single run, which suggests applicability in routine assays.

Evaluation of HPSEC‐ELSD method for precise measurement of β‐agarase activity

β‐Agarase activity was monitored by traditional reducing sugar content methods: Somogyi–Nelson's arsenomolybdate, Miller's dinitrosalicylic acid and Kidby and Davidson's ferricyanide methods, as well as by high‐performance size exclusion chromatography coupled with a refractive index detector and an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). Calibration curves were established separately for each method to measure the amounts of the neoagaro‐oligosaccharides (NAOS) in the reaction mixtures, which are the products from 1–10 units (U) of β‐agarase cleavage activity on agarose. Product quantities from each monitoring method were compared with the isolated NAOS products. The graphs plotted by agarase activity unit and product concentration clearly displayed that the ELSD method closely followed the results of the isolated products. The percentage deviation of results measured by the five methods away from those of the isolated NAOS product mixture amounted to −13.1–35.1, −21.1–25.5, −27.1–23.81, 6.1–24.3 and 16.2–22.8%, respectively. When the loss during product isolation, about 15–17%, was taken into account, the high precision of the ELSD method was confirmed. HPSEC‐ELSD methods also accurately measured the enzyme kinetics as well as enabling partial identification of oligosaccharides assembled in the NAOS product mixture. This study established the HPSEC‐ELSD system as an alternative method for monitoring agarase activity. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
