Capillary electrochromatography analysis of hormonal cyclic and linear peptides.
2001
The retention behavior of linear and cyclic peptides has been studied by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with a variety of different n-alkyl silica reversed-phase sorbents and also with mixed-mode phases containing both strong cation-exchange (sulfonic acid) and n-alkyl groups bonded onto the silica surface, using eluents ranging from pH 2.0 to pH 5.0. Depending upon the amino acid sequence, electrochromatographic retention of the peptides was strongly affected by the composition of the eluent, its pH value, and the choice of sorbent packed into the capillaries. The dominant separation processes operating with these charged analytes could be modulated inter alia by the content of orga…
Study of peak shape and efficiency in butyl acrylate-based monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography.
2009
Abstract The study and modelling peak shape of in capillary electrochromatography (CEC), obtained using butyl acrylate (BA)-based monolithic columns, is described in this article. A modified-Gaussian model, which is a function of conventional experimental parameters: retention time (tR), peak height (H0) and standard deviation (σ0) at the peak maximum, and left (A) and right (B) halfwidths, was used to describe the peaks of thiourea and several polyaromatic hydrocarbons compounds, which were eluted under several applied voltages. A mean relative error below 2% in the prediction of peak shape is obtained. Based on peak parameters, an easy and reliable estimation of global chromatographic per…
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes
1991
Abstract Chromatographic data for sodium polystyrene sulphonate were obtained on both silica- and polymer-based size-exclusion supports using mobile phases of various pH and ionic strength. Deviations of the elution volume were observed towards both lower and higher values relative to the reference calibration graph obtained with uncharged standards. An empirical correlation is proposed in order to account for all the secondary effects observed. The general applicability of this correlation was further tested for chromatographic data obtained for a series of peptides and proteins on a silica-based support under very different eluent conditions. Deviations from ideal elution behaviour such a…
Hydrophobic and cation exchange mechanisms in the retention of basic compounds in a polymeric column.
2004
A cation exchange retention mechanism concomitant with the well-known hydrophobic partition mechanism in a polymeric column has been observed and investigated. This exchange process is attributed to ionization of some acidic sites present in the polymer column at basic mobile phase pH values. Several drugs of different basicity have been chromatographed on a polymeric PLRP-S column with methanol-water and acetonitrile-water mobile phases. The cation exchange between the protonated basic drug and the buffer cations (Na+, K+ and BuNH4+) is observed at the pH range where the protonated drug and the ionized sites of the column coexist. This process produces a shift of the retention versus pH pl…
Separation of unmodified α-amino acid enantiomers by reverse phase HPLC
1980
A novel chiral phase system is presented for the resolution of unmodified α-amino acid racemates which is composed of a reverse phase packing coated with N-alkyl-L-hydroxyproline (where alkyl is n-C7H15-, n-C10H21- and n-C16H33-) and a hydro-organic eluent containing copper(II)acetate. The factors controlling retention and enantioselectivity such as concentration of Cu(II)ion and pH of the eluent, addition of NH4Ac to the eluent, type and content of organic solvent of hydro-organic eluent and column temperature were examined. The extremely high enantioselectivity observed (α up to 16) is assumed to be caused by a three site sorbate-sorbent interaction involving bidentate coordination of two…
Effect of the hydrophobic spacer in bonded [Cu(l-hydroxyprolyl)alkyl]+ silicas on retention and enantioselectivity of α-amino acids in high-performan…
1983
Abstract The following chiral ligands were bonded to silica: [Cu( l -hydroxyprolyl)methyl) + on LiChrosorb Si 60 (1), [Cu( l -hydroxyprolyl)methyl] + on LiChrosorb Si 100 (2) and [Cu( l -hydroxyprolyl) n -octyl] + on LiChrosorb Si 100 (3). The packings contained residual iodomethyl- and ω-iodooctyl groups at the surface. Studies on packing 1 and 2 under comparable conditions in eluents containing 10 -4 M copper acetate showed a higher retention on 1 than on 2 but a much better enantioselectivity in the latter case. The retention of enantiomers on all packings examined was found to be governed by the eluent pH and methanol content as well as by the concentration of ammonium acetate. The vari…
Chiral separation of ephedrines by liquid chromatography using β-cyclodextrins
2001
β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) have been evaluated as chiral recognition agents for the enantioseparation of ephedrines by liquid chromatography (LC). The compounds tested were norephedrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, N-methylephedrine and N-methylpseuoephedrine. Two possibilities have been investigated, the employment of a chiral stationary phase consisting of immobilized β-cyclodextrin, and the addition of the chiral selector to the mobile phase. In the latter approach the following chiral agents have been assayed, native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD), carboxyethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CE-β-CD), carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD)…
Fast high performance liquid chromatography analysis in lipidomics: Separation of radiolabelled fatty acids and phosphatidylcholine molecular species…
2006
Abstract HPLC procedures using conventional C 18 columns are usually used to separate simple and complex lipid mixtures but these methods of separation remain often laborious and very slow. Here, monolithic columns were successfully applied to separate lipids – radiolabelled fatty acid mixtures and individual phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecular species. For that, isocratic elution was performed using two Chromolith™ Performance RP-18e columns connected in series. Detection was achieved by online measurement of radioactivity for radiolabelled fatty acids and by UV absorbance at 205 nm for PC molecular species. The performances of such silica rods were compared to conventional reverse-phase si…
Separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under isocratic conditions by a column switching technique
1994
A simple and efficient method of separating a 20-component PAH-mixture (RSM 1647 standard mixture +benzene, toluene, perylene and coronene) by RP-HPLC is described. Separation was by using two Superspher-100 RP-18 cartridges thermostatted at different temperatures under isocratic conditions with water-acetonitrile eluent. The analysis time with complete resolution of all components can be reduced to 15 min.
Application of CEC procedures for the analysis of synthetic peptides: characterization of linear immunogenic peptides that mimic a HIV-1 gp120 epitope
2002
In this study, we describe the application of a new analytical procedure based on capillary electrochromatographic(CEC) techniques for the characterization of different basic and acidic peptides using isocratic eluent conditions containing acetonitrile and ammonium acetate buffers of different molarities between pH 3.8 and 5.2. In particular,10 immunogenic peptide analogs with isoelectric points ranging from 3.7 to 10.1 were investigated; nine of these peptides, 1-9, were truncated analogs of the parent peptide, 10, which is a peptidomimetic related to a HIV-1 gp120 epitope. Several of these peptides have the propensity to form alpha-helical secondary structures in solution. Electrochromato…
