Multimilligram enantioresolution of low-solubility xanthonolignoids on polysaccharide chiral stationary phases using a solid-phase injection system.

Kielcorins are xanthonolignoids with protein kinase C inhibition and antitumor activities. Four racemates were enantioresolved at a multimilligram scale on tris-3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate amylose phase using polar organic conditions as mobile phase. The low-solubility of these compounds conditioned the injection amount and consequently the productivity. A solid-phase injection system was developed to increase the production rate of the semipreparative process. The effects of the racemates and the related enantiomers on the in vitro growth of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were compared. Differences in their growth inhibitory activity were observed.

Adsorption mechanism in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Effect of the surface coverage of a monomeric C18-silica stationary phase.

The effect of the bonding density of the octadecyl chains onto the same silica on the adsorption and retention properties of low molecular weight compounds (phenol, caffeine, and sodium 2-naphthalene sulfonate) was investigated. The same mobile phase (methanol:water, 20:80, v/v) and temperature (T = 298 K) were applied and two duplicate columns (A and B) from each batch of packing material (neat silica, simply endcapped or C1 phase, 0.42, 1.01, 2.03, and 3.15 micromol/m2 of C18 alkyl chains) were tested. Adsorption data of the three compounds were acquired by frontal analysis (FA) and the adsorption energy distributions (AEDs) were calculated using the expectation-maximization method. Results confirmed earlier findings in linear chromatography of a retention maximum at an intermediate bonding density. From a general point of view, the saturation capacity of the adsorbent tends to decrease with increasing bonding density, due to the vanishing space intercalated between the C18 bonded chains and to the decrease of the specific surface area of the stationary phase. The equilibrium constants are maximum for an intermediary bonding density (approximately 2 micromol/m2). An enthalpy-entropy compensation was found for the thermodynamic parameters of the isotherm data. Weak equilibrium constants (small deltaH) and high saturation capacities (large deltaS) were observed at low bonding densities, higher equilibrium constants and lower saturation capacities at high bonding densities, the combinations leading to similar apparent retention in RPLC. The use of a low surface coverage column is recommended for preparative purposes.

beta-Cyclodextrin as a stationary phase for the group separation of polycyclic aromatic compounds in normal-phase liquid chromatography.

The separation of highly alkylated polycyclic aromatic compounds according to the size of their aromatic system is investigated using the polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles in vacuum gas oil. A large number of reference compounds containing several parent ring systems and different alkylation patterns were first investigated to characterize the retention of polycyclic aromatic compounds likely to occur in high-boiling petroleum samples. A beta-cyclodextrin phase, Merck ChiraDex, was found to be more suitable than chemically bonded aminopropanosilane and tetrachlorophthalimide in normal-phase HPLC with respect to a combination of selectivity towards the number of aromatic double bonds and degree of influence of the alkyl groups of the aromatic compounds. Finally the preseparated polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles from a vacuum gas oil were fractionated according to the number of condensed aromatic rings on the ChiraDex phase and were characterized by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

Selectivity in reversed-phase separations Influence of the stationary phase.

The selectivity difference between 15 different stationary phases was measured using a large number of analytes at 2 or 3 different pH values (3, 7 and 10) with acetonitrile and methanol as the mobile phase modifiers. The packings discussed include standard C(8) and C(18) packings, packings with embedded polar groups, a phenyl packing, a pentafluoro-phenyl packing, an adamantylethyl packing and others. The major selectivity differences observed are discussed in detail. Specific effects such as pi-pi interactions on phenyl packings or hydrogen-bond interactions on phases with embedded polar groups are confirmed.

Adsorption model for retention in normal-phase liquid chromatography with ternary mobile phases.

The review gives a link between the theory of adsorption from multicomponent solutions and liquid chromatography. The article surveys the methods developed to describe the retention in normal-phase chromatography with ternary mobile phases with emphasis on the results of the authors. In the model used the driving force for the separation is the difference in adsorption of a solute and all solvents onto the solid surface. The general equation generates a series of simple linear relationships to predict the retention factor in ternary mobile phase for which certain parameters remain fixed. Theoretical concepts are tested by comparison with experimental data. The correlations between parameters characterizing retention in ternary, binary and pure solvents are discussed.

Metabolism of verapamil: 24 new phase I and phase II metabolites identified in cell cultures of rat hepatocytes by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Verapamil is a widely prescribed calcium antagonist, but suffers from extensive first pass metabolism. Despite its frequent use in drug metabolism a complete understanding of its metabolic pathway is still lacking. We thus investigated verapamil's metabolism in cultures of primary rat hepatocytes and isolated metabolites from cell culture media by solid phase extraction (SPE). In detail, we investigated their structure in multiple liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MSn) experiments and found 25 phase I and 14 phase II metabolites. We showed many metabolites to be produced by oxidative dealkylation, and several yet unknown metabolites were identified that stem from hydroxylation and dealkylation reactions. Furthermore, we identified an array of glucuronides and, additionally, a glucoside. Finally, we investigated the enantioselective biotransformation of verapamil and found preferential metabolism of the S-enantiomers. In conclusion, this illustrates again the true complexity of verapamil's disposition.

Cogwheel phase cycling in common triple resonance NMR experiments for the liquid phase.

We demonstrate that cogwheel phase cycling, which was previously only used in solid state NMR, can be applied to optimize the efficiency of commonly used pulse sequences in multiple resonance liquid-state biomolecular NMR. In favorable cases the required minimum number of scans can be reduced by more than 80% as compared to a corresponding sequence with nested phase cycles. Since cogwheel phase cycling procedures can be designed for a range of scan numbers, and can be combined with pulsed field gradients, the total experiment time can be adjusted closely to the required signal-to-noise ratio with minimal overhead. Examples are shown for 3D-TROSY-HNCO, 3D-TROSY-HNCACO, and 3D-HACACO experiments on diamagnetic and paramagnetic proteins.

A validated LC method for the determination of vesamicol enantiomers in human plasma using vancomycin chiral stationary phase and solid phase extraction.

An enantioseparation high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine D-(+)- and L-(-)-vesamicol in human plasma. The assay involved the use of a solid phase extraction for plasma sample clean up prior to HPLC analysis utilizing a C18 Bond-Elute column. Chromatographic resolution of the vesamicol enantiomers was performed on a vancomycin macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phase (CSP) known as Chirobiotic V with a polar ionic mobile phase (PIM) consisting of methanol:glacial acetic acid:triethylamine (100:0.1:0.05 (v/v/v)) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and UV detection set at 262 nm. All analyses were conducted at ambient temperature. The method was validated over the range of 1-20 microg/ml for each enantiomer concentration (R2>0.999). Recoveries for D-(+)- and L-(-)-vesamicol enantiomers were in the ranges of 96-105% at 3-16 microg/ml level. The method proved to be precise (within-run precision ranged from 1.3 to 2.7% and between-run precision ranged from 1.5 to 3.4%) and accurate (within-run accuracies ranged from 0.8 to 3.4% and between-run accuracies ranged from 1.7 to 5.0%). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) for each enantiomer in human plasma were 1.0 and 0.5 microg/ml (S/N=3), respectively.

Solid phase extraction and liquid chromatographic determination of sildenafil and N-demethylsildenafil in rat serum with basic mobile phase.

HPLC method for the determination of sildenafil and its metabolite (N-demethylsildenafil) in rat serum has been developed. The technique included a solid phase extraction of the serum samples on a [poly(divinylbenzene-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone)] solid phase extraction sorbent. After conditioning, the cartridge was loaded with 0.5 mL of buffered serum containing internal standard. Elution was made with 1 mL of acetonitrile. After evaporation of the eluates to dryness and reconstitution with methanol, the samples were analyzed on Kromasil C18 column phase with phosphate buffer 0.05 M/acetonitrile: 54/46, pH 8. Detection was carried out using a photodiode array detector. For sildenafil and demethylsildenafil, full validation of the proposed method was provided (linearity range, calibration curves, average extraction efficiency; average intra-day and interday variabilities, limit of detection, limit of quantification, specificity). The proposed method was successfully utilised to quantify sildenafil and N-demethylsidenafil in rat serum for a pharmacokinetic study.

Solute-induced shift of phase transition temperature in Di-saturated PC liposomes: adoption of ripple phase creates osmotic stress.

We have examined the calorimetric behavior of large liposomes consisting of symmetric saturated chain phosphatidylcholines. Most notably, for systems made in solutions containing solute (e.g., NaCl, glucose, etc.) there was an additional major endotherm just below the main phase transition temperature. The new endotherm was found to represent a population of lipid whose main phase transition was shifted to lower temperature due to an induced osmotic stress across the membrane. Absent for isoosmotic systems, the osmotic stress was created when the liposome internal volume decreased, a consequence of the Lbeta' (gel) to Pbeta' (rippled) phase transition. That is, rippling of the membrane caused vesicle volume to decrease (> or = 28%) and because the free flow of water outward was restricted by solute, an osmotic gradient was created where none had existed before. The distribution of enthalpy between the new shifted Tm and the expected Tm correlated with the percent of lipid in the outer bilayer and it was concluded that only the outer bilayer sensed the induced stress. Internalized liposome structures were shielded, thus explaining the persistence of the expected Tm in preparations made in solute. The shift in Tm (deltaTm) was discrete and linearly dependent upon lipid chain length for the PC series di-17:0 (deltaTm approximately 1.4 degrees C) through di-20:0 (deltaTm approximately 0.6 degrees C), suggesting a structural change (i.e., lipid packing/orientation) was involved. Although freeze-fracture electron microscopy of stressed and unstressed bilayers revealed no differences in ripple periodicity there were differences in surface features and in vesicle shape. The fact that this phenomenon has gone unnoticed for MLVs is probably due to the fact that these systems are known to exclude solute and thus exist under osmotic compression.

Fluid phase connectivity in an isomorphous, two-component, two-phase phosphatidylcholine bilayer.

Two-dimensional fluid phase connectivity is examined in mixed bilayers of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine as a function of composition and temperature at constant pressure using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). These isomorphous phospholipid mixtures exhibit nearly ideal mixing behavior. Dilauroyl phosphatidylethanolamine covalently linked through its amino function to NBD is used as the fluorescent probe in this study. These studies show the line of connectivity to be coincident with the line connecting the midpoints of all tie lines in the two-phase region of the phase diagram.

Novel use of a dual-zone restricted access sorbent: normal-phase solid-phase extraction separation of methyl oleate from polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons stemming from semi-permeable membrane devices.

A normal-phase solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was developed utilizing a dual-zone restricted-access sorbent to separate methyl oleate from the 16 US Environmental Protection Agency priority-pollutant polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in a hexane matrix. This technique represents a new development in SPE methodology expanding the limited number of available normal-phase SPE sorbents. While based on a specific application (removal of methyl oleate from semipermeable membrane device extracts), this cleanup method could easily be adapted for other uses requiring the removal/isolation of methyl oleate and potentially related compounds.

Effect of mobile phase composition on the separation of propranolol enantiomers using a perphenylcarbamate beta-cyclodextrin bonded chiral stationary phase.

An analytical column packed with a novel perphenylcarbamate beta-cyclodextrin bonded chiral stationary phase was used to separate propranolol enantiomers. Good separation results were obtained using triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) buffer and methanol mixtures as the mobile phase. Effects of the methanol concentration, buffer concentration and pH value on the retention and the enantioselectivity of propranolol enantiomers were investigated on this column. The retention times and the separation factor decrease with increase of the methanol concentration as expected in reversed-phase HPLC. At trace TEAA amount, the solute eluted out with anti-Langmuirian band profiles, their retention times decreased quickly with increase of TEAA concentration and attained a minimum at a TEAA concentration of 20 ppm. Above 20 ppm, solute band profiles changed to a Langmuirian shape, the retention times of enantiomers increased with increasing buffer concentration, and eventually, they attained asymptotes at ca. 1% TEAA. A simulation considering the different interactions between the solute and the additive at above and below 20 ppm TEAA concentration as well as system peaks interference can successfully explain the anti-Langmuirian band profiles and the retention time variation trend.

Influences of surface chemistry on the separation behavior of stationary phases for reversed-phase and ion-exchange chromatography: a comparison of coated and grafted supports prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization.

A series of poly(norborn-2-ene) (poly-NBE), poly(7-oxanorborne-2-ene-5,6-dicarboxylic acid) (poly-ONDCA), as well as poly(norborn-2-ene-co-7-oxanorborne-2-ene-5,6-dicarboxylic acid) (poly-NBE-co-ONDCA) based silica supports were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using both coating and grafting techniques. Poly-NBE-grafted and poly-NBE-coated supports were used for the reversed-phase separation of phenols; poly-NBE, poly-ONDCA as well as poly-NBE-co-ONDCA-grafted supports were used for comparative studies on the separation of a series of anilines and lutidines. As expected, grafted supports possess superior separation capabilities compared to their coated analogues. Compared to pure poly-NBE- and poly-ONDCA-grafted stationary phases, supports consisting of poly-NBE-co-ONDCA block-copolymers possess both hydrophobic and ion-exchange sites and represent optimum stationary phases for the separation of isomeric basic analytes.

Laterally attached liquid-crystalline polymers as stationary phases in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. III. Effect of the local anisotropic order on the separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Specific stationary phases based upon non-liquid-crystalline polymers, liquid-crystalline molecules and side-on fixed liquid-crystalline polymers (SO-LCP) have been synthesized for use as silica modified stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The mesogenic side group of the SO-LCP was composed of three phenyl ring benzoate type with terminal alkoxy chains and was laterally linked to a polysiloxane backbone via an alkyl ester spacer arm. This study demonstrated that the shape recognition of stationary phases based upon SO-LCP towards the length-to-breath ratio (L/B) was strongly connected to the existence of a local liquid-crystalline order into the pores of silica gel, warranting the interest of the collective organization of mesomorphic materials in liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the chromatographic performances depended on the kind of anisotropic order and it was more advantageous to use smectic side-on liquid-crystalline polymer than nematic and obviously non-liquid-crystalline ones. Finally, for a series of polymers having the same mesomorphism, the larger the temperature stability range of the mesophase, the more pronounced the local order effect and the higher the shape recognition.

Retention mechanisms in reversed-phase chromatography. Stationary phase bonding density and solute selectivity.

Chromatographic selectivity for small, non-polar solutes has been determined as a function of monomeric octadecyl stationary phase bonding density over the range 1.74-4.07 mumol/m2. Phenyl or shape selectivity increases with increasing bonding density, whereas methylene selectivity remains approximately constant. These findings are in agreement with the mean field statistical thermodynamic theory of Dill, which predicts that increased stationary phase chain density should lead to increased anisotropic chain ordering and increased solute-shape selectivity. These studies provide further evidence that partitioning, not adsorption, is the dominant mode of retention for small, non-polar molecules in reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

Retention and mass transfer characteristics in reversed-phase liquid chromatography using a tetrahydrofuran-water solution as the mobile phase.

The characteristics of the retention and the mass transfer kinetics in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) were measured on a system consisting of a C18-silica gel and a tetrahydrofuran-water (50:50, v/v) solution. These parameters were derived from the first and the second moments of the elution peaks, respectively. Further information on the thermodynamic properties of this system was derived from the temperature dependence of these moments. Some correlations previously established were confirmed for this system, namely, an enthalpy-entropy compensation for both retention and surface diffusion and a linear free-energy relationship. These results are compared with those observed in other similar systems using methanol-water (70:30, v/v) and acetonitnile-water (70:30, v/v) solutions. The contribution of surface diffusion to intraparticle diffusion in C18-silica gel particles was shown to be important. The analysis of the thermodynamic properties of surface diffusion suggests that, in these three RPLC systems, its activation energy is lower than the isosteric heat of adsorption. The nature and the extent of the influence of the mobile phase composition on the parameters describing the retention and the mass transfer kinetics are different but the chromatographic mechanisms involved in RPLC systems appear similar, irrespective of the nature of the organic modifier in the mobile phase.

Enantioseparation of selected chiral sulfoxides using polysaccharide-type chiral stationary phases and polar organic, polar aqueous-organic and normal-phase eluents.

HPLC enantioseparation of selected chiral sulfoxides was studied using cellulose and amylose phenylcarbamate derivatives as chiral stationary phases (CSPs). The contributions of various functional groups of a chiral analyte as well as the polysaccharide derivatives in the analyte retention and chiral recognition were evaluated. A very high enantioseparation factor exceeding 110 was observed in the enantioseparation of 2-(benzylsulfinyl)benzamide (BSBA) on cellulose tris(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate) (CDCPC) CSP by using 2-propanol as a mobile phase. The enantiomer elution order was opposite on cellulose and amylose phenylcarbamates. For the polysaccharide-type CSPs, pure alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol represent a valuable alternative to more common alcohol-hydrocarbon and reversed-phase eluents.
