Potential of human serum albumin as chiral selector of basic drugs in affinity electrokinetic chromatography-partial filling technique
2006
The enantiomeric resolution of compounds using HSA by means of affinity EKC (AEKC)-partial filling technique is the result of a delicate balance between different experimental variables such as protein concentration, running pH (background electrophoretic buffer (BGE), protein, and compound solutions), and plug length. In this paper, the possibility of using HSA as chiral selector for enantioseparation of 28 basic drugs using this methodology is studied. The effect of the physicochemical parameters, the structural properties of compounds, and compound-HSA protein binding percentages over their chiral resolution with HSA is outlined. Based on the results obtained, a decision tree is proposed…
Fast enantiomeric separation of uniconazole and diniconazole by electrokinetic chromatography using an anionic cyclodextrin: application to the deter…
2000
The enantiomeric resolution of the fungicides uniconazole and diniconazole was performed using electrokinetic chromatography with cyclodextrins as pseudostationary phase (CD-EKC). A systematic evaluation of several chiral selectors was made. The anionic derivative carboxymethylated-gamma-cyclodextrin (CM-gamma-CD) was found to be the most appropriate for the enantioseparation of fungicides among all cyclodextrins tested. The influence of some experimental conditions such as nature and buffer pH, chiral selector concentration, and temperature on the enantiomeric separation of the compounds studied was also investigated. The use of a 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) containing 5 mM CM-gamma-CD…
Discontinuous electrokinetic chromatography of parabens using different substituted resonances as pseudostationary phases
1999
Resorcarene derivatives, negatively charged even at moderate pH, were synthesized and employed as pseudostationary phases to achieve mobilities exceeding that of the electroosmotic flow. Under these conditions, a discontinuous electrolyte system was developed which allows the separation of four uncharged homologous 4-hydroxybenzoic esters (parabens) within a zone of resorcarene electrolyte, and the detection of these UV active compounds in a resorcarene-free zone, free from the high UV background absorbance of the resorcarenes. Resorcarenes, with differently charged functionalities (carboxylate and phosphate groups) to provide the electrophoretic mobility and with alkyl residues of differen…
Enantioresolution in electrokinetic chromatography-complete filling technique using sulfated gamma-cyclodextrin. Software-free topological anticipati…
2016
Few papers have tried to predict the resolution ability of chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis for the separation of the enantiomers of chiral compounds. In a previous work, we have used molecular information available on-line to establish enantioresolution levels of basic compounds using highly sulfated β-CD (HS-β-CD) as chiral selector in electrokinetic chromatography-complete filling technique (EKC-CFT). The present study is a continuation of this previous work, introducing some novelties. In this work, the ability of sulfated γ-cyclodextrin (S-γ-CD) as chiral selector in EKC-CFT is modelled for the first time. Thirty-three structurally unrelated cationic and neutral compounds …
Modeling the chiral resolution ability of highly sulfated β-cyclodextrin for basic compounds in electrokinetic chromatography
2013
Abstract Despite the fact that extensive research in the field of enantioseparations by capillary electrophoresis has been carried out, it is difficult to predict whether a concrete chiral selector would be useful for the separation of a racemic compound. Hence, several experimental effort is necessary to test the abilities of individual chiral selectors, usually by trial and error procedures. Thus, the enantioseparation of a new racemate becomes a time- and money-consuming task. In this work, the ability of highly sulfated β-cyclodextrin (HS-β-CD) as chiral selector in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) is modeled for the first time, using exclusively directly-available structural data of…
Osmotic conditions in rheologic properties of erytrocites
2001
Abstract The decreasing viability and in vivo survival of red blood cells, RBCs, observed in blood bank-storage are due to alterations in their rheologic properties and metabolic status. However, there is a lack of electrokinetic experiments with erythrocytes by the screening produced by the high concentration of buffer required to keep the isoosmotic conditions. Electrokinetic measurements in a wide range of sodium chloride and tetrasodium pyrophosphate are undertaken on liposomes as cell models, and in order to get an aqueous media suitable for maintaining osmotic conditions and allowing electrophoretic mobility measurements as well, advantage has been taken of dextrose properties. Measur…
Thermodynamics of electrokinetic processes—II. systems with different kinds of electrodes
1990
Abstract In this work Haase's Formulation of Electrokinetic Processes is applied to special systems: those working with two different electrodes and those where gaseous phases are formed. Phenomenological equations are always written in terms of directly observable variables. The extrinsic character of Haase's Formulation is clearly shown. Some special results on streaming current in dielectric liquids are explained.
Enantiomeric separation of chiral phenoxy acid herbicides by electrokinetic chromatography. Application to the determination of analyte-selector appa…
2001
The enantiomeric resolution of chiral phenoxy acid herbicides was performed by electrokinetic chromatography using a cyclodextrin as chiral pseudophase (CD-EKC). A systematic evaluation of several neutral and charged cyclodextrins was made. Among the cyclodextrins tested, (2-hydroxy)propyl beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was found to be the most appropriate for the enantioseparation of phenoxy acids. The influence of some experimental conditions, such as nature and pH of the background electrolyte, chiral selector concentration, and temperature, on the enantiomeric separation of phenoxy acids was also studied. The use of a 50 mM electrolyte solution in ammonium formate at pH 5 and a temperat…
Determination of fluoxetine enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulations by electrokinetic chromatography-counter current technique
2012
In this work, an electrokinetic chromatography–counter current procedure for the separation of fluoxetine enantiomers using highly sulfated β-cyclodextrin was optimized and applied to the determination of the enantiomers in three pharmaceutical formulations according to the matrix features. Quality criteria were applied to facilitate its transferability to testing laboratories. Fluoxetine was used therapeutically as the racemate, although a stereospecificity associated with its interactions with the neuronal serotonin-uptake carrier was demonstrated. In this context, the development of enantioselective methods for the chiral analysis of pharmaceuticals allowing stereoisomer ratio estimation…
Interaction of ionic compounds with multilamellar liposomes. An electrokinetic model
1998
Abstract We have proposed a theoretical model of interaction of ionic compounds (ionic adsorbate or ionic drugs), with multilamellar-liposomes, by means of their electrokinetic property variation with the ionic compound concentration. In this work, we show the complete development of the model proposed. Its theoretical results have been analysed to study the influence on the zeta-potential value of the following: number of membranes, size, shear-plane situation, critical concentration of formation (ccf), and the ionic compound concentration which annuls the zeta-potential value of the multilamellar-liposomes formed.
