Capillary electrochromatography with fused-silica capillaries packed with copolymeric reversed-phase adsorbent and ion exchangers

Macroporous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) (PSDVB), PRP-1, a reversed-phase adsorbent, and PSDVB-based strong acid cation exchangers and strong base and weak base anion exchangers were evaluated as stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Electroosmotic flow (EOF) for adsorbent and exchanger packed fused-silica capillaries for acetone as the marker increases with increasing ion exchange capacity, buffer organic solvent concentration, and applied voltage, is nearly independent of pH, and decreases with increased buffer ionic strength. For anion exchangers, EOF is reversed. Thiourea, acetone, acrylamide, nitromethane, propanal, and acetic acid were evaluated as EOF markers and undergo weak interaction with the PSDVB-based stationary phases. EOF in a basic buffer is greater than or equal to silica-based C-18 and cation exchanger packed capillaries. For an acidic buffer, EOF for a PRP-1 capillary is almost twice the C-18 packed capillary. As analyte hydrophobicity increases, retention and migration time increases for the PSDVB-based stationary phases. As exchange capacity increases, availability of the polymeric matrix for analyte partitioning decreases, causing analyte migration time to decrease. Increasing buffer organic solvent concentration decreases analyte retention. The PSDVB-based stationary phases provide good resolving power and reproducibility and are applicable to the CEC separation of neutral, weakly acidic, and basic analytes. Efficiency, however, is less than obtained with silica-based stationary phases. Because of stability in a strong acid buffer, the CEC separation of weak acids, where dissociation is suppressed, and weak bases as cations is possible. Separations of short-chain alkyl aldehydes, methyl ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, substituted benzene derivatives, and short-chain carboxylic acids are described.     

Simultaneous separation of acidic, basic, and neutral organic compounds, including strong and moderate acids and bases, by capillary electrochromatography

The separation of strongly basic, moderately basic, weakly basic, strongly acidic, moderately acidic, weakly acidic, and neutral compounds in a single run using capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is presented. This is accomplished using a 3-μm CEC Hypersil C8 capillary with high organic content acetonitrile/phosphate (pH 2.5) mobile phases containing hexylamine. Fifteen basic, acidic, and neutral drugs of forensic interest are resolved using a step gradient. Strong and moderately basic drugs separate before t(o), apparently by a combination of free zone electrophoresis (CZE) and chromatographic phenomena. Weak bases separate after t(o), also by a combination of CZE and chromatographic processes. Due to large selectivity differences between CEC and CZE for bases, there is evidence that the stationary phase is playing a significant role in the separation of these solutes. The CEC approach presented offers unique selectivity, expanded peak capacity, and the ability to solubilize both hydrophilic and hydrophobic solutes in an injection solvent that is compatible with the chromatographic system.     

Synergistic effects on enantioselectivity of zwitterionic chiral stationary phases for separations of chiral acids, bases, and amino acids by HPLC

In an attempt to overcome the limited applicability scope of earlier proposed Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral weak anion exchangers (WAX) and recently reported aminosulfonic acid-based chiral strong cation exchangers (SCX), which are conceptionally restricted to oppositely charged solutes, their individual chiral selector (SO) subunits have been fused in a combinatorial synthesis approach into single, now zwitterionic, chiral SO motifs. The corresponding zwitterionic ion-exchange-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in fact combined the applicability spectra of the parent chiral ion exchangers allowing for enantioseparations of chiral acids and amine-type solutes in liquid chromatography using polar organic mode with largely rivaling separation factors as compared to the parent WAX and SCX CSPs. Furthermore, the application spectrum could be remarkably expanded to various zwitterionic analytes such as alpha- and beta-amino acids and peptides. A set of structurally related yet different CSPs consisting of either a quinine or quinidine alkaloid moiety as anion-exchange subunit and various chiral or achiral amino acids as cation-exchange subunits enabled us to derive structure-enantioselectivity relationships, which clearly provided strong unequivocal evidence for synergistic effects of the two oppositely charged ion-exchange subunits being involved in molecular recognition of zwitterionic analytes by zwitterionic SOs driven by double ionic coordination.     

Analyte templating: enhancing the enantioselectivity of chiral selectors upon incorporation into organic polymer environments

A simple strategy for preserving and enhancing the chiral recognition capacity of polymer-embedded chiral selectors is proposed, capitalizing on a temporary blockage of the receptor binding site with tightly binding analytes during the polymerization process. We demonstrate that the copolymerization of a quinine tert-butylcarbamate selector monomer with chiral (and achiral) 3,5-dichlorobenzoyl amino acids allows one to control to a certain extent the binding characteristics of the resultant polymeric chiral stationary phases. The structural and stereochemical requirements of the templating analytes for maximizing the chiral recognition capacity of the polymer-embedded selectors are probed. The chromatographic chiral recognition characteristics of the analyte-templated polymeric chiral stationary phases are analyzed with respect to binding capacities and affinities and compared to those obtained with a conventional silica-based surface-grafted reference material. Changes in substrate-specific enantioselectivity originating from analyte templating are also addressed.     

The effect of stationary-phase pore size on retention behavior in micellar liquid chromatography

One of the limitations that has restricted the applicability of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is the weak eluting power of micellar mobile phases compared to conventional hydro-organic mobile phases used in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This may be the result of Donnan or steric exclusion of the micelles from the pores of the stationary phase, within which nearly all (> or = 99%) of the stationary phase resides and the analytes spend most of their time. To determine whether wide-pore stationary phases would overcome this limitation in MLC, several C8 and C18 stationary phases ranging from 100 to 4000 A were investigated using a diverse set of test solutes and micellar solutions of anionic, neutral, and cationic surfactants as mobile phases. With the larger pore size stationary phases, the eluting power of the MLC mobile phases was enhanced with all surfactant types, the greatest effect being with the neutral surfactant. Differences in retention behavior were observed between various solute types and between the C8 and C18 stationary phases. These differences appear to be related to the relative hydrophobicity of the solutes and to differences in the surfactant-modified stationary phases. Partitioning behavior of representative solutes on the large-pore C8 and C18 columns was shown to follow the three-phase partitioning model for MLC. Methylene group selectivity data showed only minor differences in the stationary-phase characteristics between the small- and large-pore size C18 columns. The true eluting power of micellar mobile phases was revealed with wide-pore stationary phases and was demonstrated by the separation and elution of an extended series of alkylphenones on C18 columns.     

Monolithic column with zwitterionic stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography

A capillary electrochromatography (CEC) monolithic column with zwitterionic stationary phases was prepared by in situ polymerization of butyl methacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, methacrylic acid, and 2-(dimethyl amino) ethyl methacrylate in the presence of porogens. The stationary phases have zwitterionic functional groups, that is, both tertiary amine and acrylic acid groups, so the ionization of those groups on the zwitterionic stationary phase was affected by the pH values of the mobile phase, and further affects the strength and direction of the electroosmotic flow (EOF). Separations of alkylbenzenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons based on the hydrophobic mechanism were obtained. Separation of various types of polar compounds, including phenols, anilines, and peptides, on the prepared column were performed under CEC mode with anodic and cathodic EOF, and different separation selectivities of those polar analytes were observed on the monolithic capillary column by using mobile phases with different pH values.     

Uniformly sized molecularly imprinted polymer for (S)-nilvadipine. Comparison of chiral recognition ability with HPLC chiral stationary phases based on a protein

Uniformly sized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for (S)-nilvadipine have been prepared by a multistep swelling and polymerization method using methacrylic acid, 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid, 2-vinylpyridine, or 4-vinylpyridine (4-VPY) as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linker. The chiral recognition abilities of the MIPs for nilvadipine and other dihydropyridine calcium antagonists were evaluated using a mixture of sodium phosphate buffer (or water) and acetonitrile or only acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The (S)-nilvadipine-imprinted 4-VPY-co-EDMA polymers gave the highest resolution for nilvadipine among the MIPs prepared. In addition, the enantioseparation of nilvadipine was attained using the (S)-nilvadipine-imprinted EDMA polymers, without use of a functional monomer. 1H NMR and molecular modeling studies suggested a one-to-one hydrogen-bonding-based complex formation of (S)-nilvadipine with 4-VPY in chloroform. These results reveal that the (S)-nilvadipine-imprinted EDMA polymers could recognize the template molecule by its molecular shape, and that in addition to this recognition, hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions seems to play important roles in the retention and chiral recognition of nilvadipine on the 4-VPY-co-EDMA polymers in hydroorganic mobile phases. By optimizing chromatographic conditions such as column temperature and flow rate, the baseline separation of nilvadipine enantiomers was attained with a short analysis time and with a column efficiency comparable to commercially available chiral stationary phases based on a protein, such as ovomucoid or alpha1-acid glycoprotein.     

Vancomycin dimerization and chiral recognition studied by high-performance liquid chromatography

The retention and separation of D,L-dansylvaline enantiomers (used as test solutes) were investigated using silica gel as stationary phase and vancomycin as chiral mobile-phase additive. A retention model was developed to describe the mechanistic aspects of the interaction between solute and vancomycin in the chromatographic system. It considered the formation of vancomycin dimers both "free" in the mobile phase and adsorbed on silica. By fitting the model equation to experimental data, it appeared clearly that the approach taking into account the vancomycin dimerization described accurately the retention behavior of the compounds. The examination of the model equation parameters showed that the glycopeptide dimerization increased the enantioselectivity by a factor of approximately 3.7. This study demonstrated the preponderant role of the vancomycin dimerization on the chiral recognition process of D,L-dansylvaline. Also, an additional analysis on a vancomycin chiral stationary phase indicated that the addition of vancomycin in the mobile phase promoted a greater enantioselectivity mediated by the formation of dimers in the stationary phase.     

Retention and selectivity of teicoplanin stationary phases after copper complexation and isotopic exchange

Teicoplanin is a macrocyclic glycopeptide that is highly effective as a chiral selector for LC enantiomeric separations. Two possible interaction paths were investigated and related to solute retention and selectivity: (1) interactions with the only teicoplanin amine group and (2) role of hydrogen bonding interactions. Mobile phases containing 0.5 and 5 mM copper ions were used to try to block the amine group. In the presence of copper ions, it was found that the teicoplanin stationary phase has a decreased ability to separate most underivatized racemic amino acids. However, it maintained its ability to separate enantiomers that were not alpha-amino acids. It is established that there is little copper-teicoplanin complex formation. The effect of Cu2+ on the enantioseparation of some alpha-amino acids appears to be due to the fact that these solutes are good bidentate ligands and form complexes with copper ions in the mobile phase. Isotopic exchange with deuterium oxide was performed using acetonitrile-heavy water mobile phases. It was found that the retention times of all amino acids were lower with deuterated mobile phases. The retention times of polar or apolar molecules without amine groups were higher with deuterated mobiles phases. In all cases, the enantioselectivity factors were unaffected by the deuterium exchange. It is proposed that the electrostatic interactions are decreased in the deuterated mobile phases and the solute-accessible stationary-phase volume is somewhat swollen by deuterium oxide. The balance of these effects is a decrease in the amino acid retention times and an increase in the apolar solute retention time. The enantioselectivity factors of all of the molecules remain unchanged because all of the interactions are changed equally. We propose a new global quality criterion (the E factor) for comparing and evaluating enantiomeric separations.     

Cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-coated zirconia as a chiral stationary phase for HPLC.

In this work we explore the use of microparticulate porous zirconia coated with cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate) (CDMPC) as a support for separation of chiral compounds by HPLC. The surface of zirconia, previously sintered but not rehydroxylated, provides a stable surface for depositing the chiral polymer. Zirconia's surface prior to coating was investigated by diffuse reflectance FT-IR. The spectra indicate the presence of residual hydroxyl groups even after treatment at 750 degrees C for 5 h. The amount of chiral polymer deposited was systematically varied, and the pore structure of the resulting particles was assessed by nitrogen sorptometry. Dynamic studies of columns packed with these stationary phases were also conducted. We found that columns packed with about 3-4% (w/w) CDMPC coated on 2.5-micron zirconia particles provide an excellent compromise between loading need to impart good chiral recognition ability to the stationary phase and column's chromatographic efficiency. Preliminary results show resolutions higher than 1 for 9 out of 16 racemic mixtures in packed 5-cm columns. The use of shorter columns combined with reduced particle size to provide sufficient resolution has the advantage of decreasing the analysis times and reducing eluent volumes. CDMPC-coated zirconia columns exhibit high stability under normal-phase conditions at relatively high linear velocities.

Capillary electrochromatography with novel stationary phases. 3. Retention behavior of small and large nucleic acids on octadecyl-sulfonated-silica

In this investigation, the potentials of porous and nonporous octadecyl-sulfonated-silica (ODSS) microparticles were demonstrated in the capillary electrochromatography (CEC) of small (e.g., nucleotides and dinucleotides) and large (e.g., transfer ribonucleic acids (t-RNAs)) nucleic acids. The ODSS stationary phase comprised two layers: a hydrophilic sulfonated (permanently charged) sublayer and an octadecyl top layer. While the sublayer is to provide a relatively strong electroosmotic flow, the octadecyl top layer is to ensure the retentivity and selectivity required for the separation of the analytes. Mono-, di-, and triphosphate nucleotides were best separated when a small amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide was added to the mobile phase. The tetrabutylammonium bromide functioned as an ion-pairing agent and consequently allowed the rapid separation of 12 different nucleotides. It is believed that the dynamic complex exchange model explains the basis of retention in ion pair reversed-phase CEC. Eight different dinucleotides, which have similar mass-to-charge ratios, separated very well by CEC. These solutes exhibited similar migration times (i.e., little or no separation) in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Similarly, t-RNAs that did not separate by CZE were well resolved in CEC with nonporous ODSS. This demonstrates that CEC is very suitable for the separation of solutes that have similar mass-to-charge ratios but differ in their hydrophobicity.     

Chiral ionic liquids as stationary phases in gas chromatography

Recently, it has been found that room-temperature ionic liquids can be used as stable, unusual selectivity stationary phases. They show "dual nature" properties, in that they separate nonpolar compounds as if they are nonpolar stationary phases and separate polar compounds as if they are polar stationary phases. Extending ionic liquids to the realm of chiral separations can be done in two ways: (1) a chiral selector can be dissolved in an achiral ionic liquid, or (2) the ionic liquid itself can be chiral. There is a single precedent for the first approach, but nothing has been reported for the second approach. In this work, we present the first enantiomeric separations using chiral ionic liquid stationary phases in gas chromatography. Compounds that have been separated using these ionic liquid chiral selectors include alcohols, diols, sulfoxides, epoxides, and acetylated amines. Because of the synthetic nature of these chiral selectors, the configuration of the stereogenic center can be controlled and altered for mechanistic studies and reversing enantiomeric retention.     

Direct high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of peptide enantiomers: study on chiral recognition by systematic evaluation of the influence of structural features of the chiral selectors on enantioselectivity

All-R/all-S enantiomers of oligoalanines (Ala(n), n = 1-10) with N-terminal protection group have been separated by HPLC on chiral stationary phases based on various cinchona alkaloid selectors. Structure-enantioselectivity relationships derived by extensive selector structure optimization provided insights into binding mechanisms and chiral recognition. Their interpretation was supported by X-ray crystal structures of amino acid and dipeptide, respectively, in complex with chiral selector. Optimized selectors have bulky elements representing steric barriers and deep binding pockets that afforded very high enantioselectivities; e.g., for the all-R and all-S enantiomers of N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)alanylalanine, an alpha-value of 20.0 (corresponding to deltadeltaG of -7.43 kJ/mol) was obtained with a chiral stationary phase based on 6'-(neopentoxy)-9-O-tert-butylcarbamoylcinchonidine. Further, a chiral stationary phase based on 1,4-bis(9-O-quinidinyl)phthalazine was able to distinguish between the all-R and all-S enantiomers of hepta- to decaalanine peptides with enantioselectivity values between 1.8 and 1.9, corresponding to deltadeltaG of -1.46 and -1.59 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Covalently bound ionene polyelectrolyte-silica gel stationary phases for HPLC

Micelle-mimetic ionene-based stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are prepared by attaching [3,16]- and [3,22]-ionenes to aminopropyl silica through a carbon-nitrogen bond. These [x,y]-ionenes are polyelectrolytic molecules consisting of dimethylammonium charge centers interconnected by alternating alkyl chain segments containing x and y methylene groups, some of which can form aggregate species whose properties mimic those of conventional surfactant micelles. These ionene-bonded stationary phases were characterized using different recommended HPLC test mixtures. Test solute chromatographic behavior on the ionene phases was found to be similar to that of intermediate oligomeric or polymeric C-18 and/or phenyl phases, depending upon the specific test mixture employed. In addition, the phases exhibit significant solute shape recognition ability. The ionene stationary phases were successfully employed for the separation of the components of the recommended ASTM reversed-phase test mixture, as well as for ortho-, meta- and para-disubstituted benzenes and other positional or geometric isomeric compounds. The ionene materials allow for chromatographic separations under either reversed-phase or ion-exchange conditions. The retention mechanism on these multimodal phases can occur by hydrophobic partitioning or electrostatic interactions, depending upon the characteristics of the components of the analyte mixture (neutral or anionic). The effects of alteration of the percent organic modifier, flow rate and temperature of the mobile phase on chromatographic retention and efficiency on these phases were briefly examined.     

Comparative study of hydrocarbon, fluorocarbon, and aromatic bonded RP-HPLC stationary phases by linear solvation energy relationships.

The retention properties of eight alkyl, aromatic, and fluorinated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography bonded phases were characterized through the use of linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs). The stationary phases were investigated in a series of methanol/water mobile phases. LSER results show that solute molecular size and hydrogen bond acceptor basicity under all conditions are the two dominant retention controlling factors and that these two factors are linearly correlated when either different stationary phases at a fixed mobile-phase composition or different mobile-phase compositions at a fixed stationary phase are considered. The large variation in the dependence of retention on solute molecular volume as only the stationary phase is changed indicates that the dispersive interactions between nonpolar solutes and the stationary phase are quite significant relative to the energy of the mobile-phase cavity formation process. PCA results indicate that one PCA factor is required to explain the data when stationary phases of the same chemical nature (alkyl, aromatic, and fluoroalkyl phases) are individually considered. However, three PCA factors are not quite sufficient to explain the whole data set for the three classes of stationary phases. Despite this, the average standard deviation obtained by the use of these principal component factors are significantly smaller than the average standard deviation obtained by the LSER approach. In addition, selectivities predicted through the LSER equation are not in complete agreement with experimental results. These results show that the LSER model does not properly account for all molecular interactions involved in RP-HPLC. The failure could reside in the V2 solute parameter used to account for both dispersive and cohesive interactions since "shape selectivity" predictions for a pair of structural isomers are very bad.     

Prediction for the separation efficiency of a pair of enantiomers during chiral high-performance liquid chromatography using a quartz crystal microbalance

A simple and rapid screening method of the chiral stationary phase during high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) utilizing a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been developed for the chiral separation of a pair of enantiomers. The outline of the method is as follows: a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is constructed on the gold electrodes of the QCM sensor chips by utilizing the interaction between thiols and gold. The chiral selectors used as chiral stationary phases in the HPLC are then immobilized, and a pseudostationary phase is constructed on the electrodes. Subsequently, the sensors are equilibrated in the solutions, the targeted chiral samples are injected, and the frequency changes are observed. Four kinds of chiral molecules and three kinds of chiral stationary phases were examined in this study. When chiral separation is possible using the chiral stationary phase immobilized on the sensors, significant differences in the frequency changes are observed because the intensities based on interactions differ among the isomers. The developed method can predict not only the possibility for chiral separation but also the elution order from the chiral stationary phase column. Furthermore, the degree of the mutual separation of a pair of enantiomers seems to be roughly predictable from the difference in the frequency change (DeltaF) and first-order association rate constant (k(obs)). The method does not require several different kinds of chiral columns that are more expensive than achiral ones such as the octadecylsilica (ODS) column. The required amounts of the chiral stationary phases are extremely small, and the sensors with immobilized chiral selectors are reusable. In addition, the method requires only a few minutes to complete the analysis. Thus, considerable reductions in both cost and time are realized. By applying the developed method to many chiral molecules and chiral stationary phases, its superiority may be corroborated; thus, it is expected that the method can be effectively used for the selection of chiral stationary phases.     

High-stability ionic liquids. A new class of stationary phases for gas chromatography

Room-temperature ionic liquids are a class of non-molecular ionic solvents with low melting points. Their properties have the potential to be especially useful as stationary phases in gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). A series of common ionic liquids were evaluated as GLC stationary phases. It was found that many of these ionic liquids suffer from low thermal stability and possess unfavorable retention behavior for some classes of molecules. Two new ionic liquids were engineered and synthesized to overcome these drawbacks. The two new ionic liquids (1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate) are based on "bulky" imidazolium cations with trifluoromethanesulfonate anions. Their solvation characteristics were evaluated using the Abraham solvation parameter model and correlations made between the structure of the cation and the degree to which the ionic liquids retain certain analytes. The new ionic liquids have good thermal stability up to 260 degrees C, provide symmetrical peak shapes, and because of their broad range of solvation-type interactions, exhibit dual-nature selectivity behavior. In addition, the ionic liquid stationary phases provided different retention behavior for many analytes compared to a commercial methylphenyl polysiloxane GLC stationary phase. This difference in selectivity is due to the unique solvation characteristics of the ionic liquids and makes them very useful as dualnature GLC stationary phases.     

Combination of chiral capillary electrochromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: method development and assay of warfarin enantiomers in human plasma

The hyphenation of chiral capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is very challenging but promising due to the fact that it combines sensitivity with high specificity and selectivity. In this work, CEC capillaries packed with (3R,4S)-Whelk-O1 chiral stationary phase were used for simultaneous enantioseparation of (+/-)-warfarin and its internal standard, (+/-)-coumachlor. Furthermore, both the chiral CEC separation and MS detection parameters were examined in detail. First, the influence of different column fabrication was investigated. Second, enantioseparation was optimized by varying CEC parameters, including acetonitrile concentration, buffer pH, and ionic strength. Under the optimum chiral CEC conditions, ESI-MS parameters such as sheath liquid pH and composition, sheath liquid flow rate, drying gas flow rate, drying gas temperature, nebulizer pressure, and fragmentor voltage were investigated to achieve maximum MS signals of the separated enantiomers. Finally, using solid-phase extraction as sample preparation method, (+/-)-warfarin spiked in 100-microL human plasma samples were analyzed. The calibration curves showed good linearity for both (R)-warfarin (R = 0.9979) and (S)-warfarin (R = 0.9978) enantiomers. The experimental limit of detection was approximately 25 ng/mL for both enantiomers. Even though the data are still preliminary, we can state with confidence that chiral CEC-ESI-MS has the potential to establish itself as a very powerful technique for the determination of enantiomeric ratios in human body fluid.
