Chiral separation of terbutaline and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by using a new lysine–bridged hemispherodextrin in capillary electrophoresis (original) (raw)

Application of Sulfated Cyclodextrins to Chiral Separations by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

Analytical Chemistry, 1996

Mixtures of randomly substituted sulfated cyclodextrins (degree of substitution, ∼7-10) were successfully used as chiral additives for the enantioseparation of 56 compounds of pharmaceutical interest, including anesthetics, antiarrhythmics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihistamines, antihypertensives, antimalarials, relaxants, and bronchodilators. The separations were accomplished at pH 3.8, with the anode at the detector end of the column. Under these conditions, in which electroosmotic flow is directed toward the injection end of the column and the electrophoretic mobility of the negatively charged cyclodextrin is toward the detector, none of the analytes reached the detector in the absence of the sulfated cyclodextrin. Most (40) of the successfully resolved enantiomers contained basic functionality and a stereogenic carbon. However, the versatility of this sulfated cyclodextrin additive was also demonstrated by the fact that three atropisomers, 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogen phosphate, 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diol, and Troger's base, and several neutral analytes were also successfully enantioresolved under these conditions. The separation mechanism seems to involve inclusion complexation.

Use of cyclodextrins in capillary electrophoresis for the chiral resolution of some 2-arylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Journal of Chromatography A, 1995

Capillary zone electrophoresis was successfully applied to the enantiomeric resolution of racemic tramadol. Both uncoated and polyacrylamide-coated capillaries were tested for method optimization using either negatively charged or native cyclodextrins (CD) added to the background electrolyte (BGE). The resolution was strongly influenced by the CD type and concentration as well as by the pH and the concentration of the BGE. Among the CDs tested, carboxymethylated-P-cyclodextrin allowed the baseline separation of tramadol enantiomers. After the method was optimized, it was validated in a coated capillary for enantiomeric analysis of tramadol enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulation, including specificity and elution order, linearity, accuracy and precision, determination of limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ), enantiomeric purity linearity, freedom from interference, and stability of sample solutions. Precision at the target concentration was less than 2%, with an accuracy higher than 99%. Furthermore, the method was able to detect 0.3% and to quantify 1% of the minor enantiomer in the presence of the major one at the target value.

Comparing cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral selectors for enantiomeric separation in capillary electrophoresis

Journal of Chromatography A, 2002

A total of 26 different cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives with different functional groups and degrees of substitution were tested against 35 basic pharmaceutical compounds in an effort to investigate their effectiveness as chiral selectors for enantiomeric separation in capillary electrophoresis (CE). Testing was performed under the same conditions using a low pH buffer (25 mM phosphate buffer at pH|2.5). Five CD derivatives, namely, highly sulfated-b-CD, highly sulfated-a-CD, hydroxypropyl-b-CD (degree of substitution|1), heptakis-(2,6-O-dimethyl)-b-CD, and heptakis(2,3,6-O-trimethyl)-b-CD were identified to be most effective for enantiomeric separations and have a wide range of enantiomeric selectivity towards the model compounds. Over 90% of the model compounds were enantiomerically resolved with the five identified CD derivatives, at a minimum resolution of 0.5. An additional 20 compounds were also tested to demonstrate the validity of the identified CD derivatives. The five CD derivatives were recommended as the starting chiral selectors in developing enantiomeric separation methods by CE. 

A persubstituted cationic beta-cyclodextrin for chiral separations

Analytical Chemistry

The applications of a novel polycationic derivative of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD), heptakis(6-hydroxyethylamino-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin) (beta-CD-EA), as a chiral host--guest additive for the enantioseparation of various classes of chiral anionic analytes are presented. The cationic beta-CD described in this paper is persubstituted with seven ethanolamine side arms at the primary rim of each cyclodextrin (CD) molecule. It is found that the electrophoretic mobility of beta-CD-EA can be adjusted to influence the chiral selectivity by changing the pH of the background electrolyte. Most of the observed CD capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separations of anionic drugs and herbicides were accomplished in the pH range of 4.0-7.0 with a reverse polarity configuration. At pH 5.0, enantioseparation of a mixture of three structurally related antiinflammatory agents (fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, and ibuprofen) was possible in about 30 min. However, other chiral acids, such as a series of phe...

Chiral separation of basic drugs by capillary electrophoresis with carboxymethylcyclodextrins

Journal of Chromatography A, 2002

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with carboxymethylated bor g-cyclodextrins was used to achieve the rapid enantiomeric separation of a set of basic drugs. The enantiomers of 12 chiral amino-containing pharmaceutical compounds belonging to various therapeutic categories were analyzed by CE using an uncoated 60 cm375 mm I.D. silica capillary. Several experimental parameters such as the nature, concentration and pH of the buffer, nature and concentration of the anionic cyclodextrin and temperature were studied in order to optimize the enantiomeric separation. The variation of the solute partition coefficient for the chiral selector, the enantioselectivity and resolution factors are used to assess the quality of the chiral separation. It is shown that the solute affinity for the chiral selector is not related to its enantioresolution factor. None of the two cyclodextrin selectors used was able to separate the whole set of basic drugs.

Ligand exchange capillary electrophoresis by cyclodextrin derivatives, a powerful tool for enantiomeric separations

ELECTROPHORESIS, 2006

Five pure CD derivatives synthesized in our laboratory were used as chiral selectors in the presence of copper(II) ion. Three enantiomeric pairs of amino acids were submitted to separation experiments in CE, by exploiting the ligand exchange mechanism. The results obtained in the investigated systems, together with those of the analogous systems previously studied, clearly show the usefulness of this technique in chiral separations. By comparing the ligand exchange CE results with potentiometric results, either reported elsewhere or studied here for the first time (system Cu/CDampy/tyrosine), it has been possible to rationalise the separation results. The importance of the availability of pure selectors, and to characterise them both spectroscopically and thermodynamically is discussed.

Enantioseparation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by capillary electrophoresis using mixtures of anionic and uncharged β-cyclodextrins as chiral additives

Electrophoresis, 1997

Nine nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were enantioseparated by capillary electrophoresis using an anionic cyclodextrin derivative (sulfobutyl ether B-cyclodextrin or carboxymethyl-P-cyclodextrin) in combination with a neutral cyclodextrin as chiral additives to a pH 3 phosphoric acid-triethanolamine buffer. In the presence of a negatively charged cyclodextrin, the analytes were given an appropriate mobility but relatively low enantioselectivities were generally obtained when such a cyclodextrin was the only selector added to the buffer. The addition of an uncharged cyclodextrin, such as the native B-cyclodextrin or one of its derivatives (dimethyl-, trimethyl-and hydroxypropyl-fi-cyclodextrin), to this kind of buffer containing an anionic cyclodextrin, was found to give rise to considerable improvement in chiral resolution for all compounds studied. Resolution and analysis time were optimized by varying the nature and concentration of the two cyclodextrins. The best compromise was usually achieved by the simultaneous addition of sulfobutyl ether 0-cyclodextrin and trimethyl-0-cyclodextrin. Under optimum conditions, the enantiomers of all NSAIDs examined could be completely separated (most often with resolution values higher than 5) in short analysis times (generally lower than 15 min).

Separation of enantiomers of drugs by capillary electrophoresis Part 8. i-Cyclodextrin as chiral solvating agent 1

As part of a comprehensive screening program on the separation of chiral drugs by capillary zone electrophoresis, we have investigated the enantio-separation of 54 drug racemates with i-cyclodextrin as a chiral solvating agent (CSA), thus complementing previous studies on 34 drug racemates. Fourteen out of the 54 analytes investigated have been separated into the enantiomers, yielding an overall success rate of 24.4% for 86 drug racemates investigated in total.

Comparative analysis of the full set of methylated β‐cyclodextrins as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis

ELECTROPHORESIS

The chiral separation ability of the full library of methylated-␤-cyclodextrins towards pharmacologically significant racemic drugs including basic compounds was studied by chiral CE. The syntheses of all the methylated, single isomer ␤-cyclodextrins were revised and optimized and the aqueous solubility of the derivatives was unambiguously established. The three most relevant commercially available methylated isomeric mixtures were also included in the screening, so a total of ten various methylated CDs were investigated. The effects of the selector concentration on the enantiorecognition properties at acidic pH were investigated. Among the dimethylated ␤-cyclodextrins, the heptakis (2,6-di-Omethyl)-␤-cyclodextrin isomer (2,6-DIMEB) resulted to be the most versatile chiral selector. Terbutaline was selected as a model compound for the in-depth investigation of host-guest enantiodiscrimination ability. The association constants between the two terbutaline enantiomers and 2,6-DIMEB were determined in order to support that the enantioseparation is driven by differences is host-guest binding. The migration order of the enantiomers was confirmed by performing spiking experiments with the pure enantiomers. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy was applied to the 2,3-, and 2,6-DIMEB/terbutaline systems to rationalize at molecular level the different enantioseparation ability of the dimethylated ␤-cyclodextrin selectors.

New cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis

Fresenius' Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2001

The separation of three pairs of enantiomeric herbicides has been successfully achieved by capillary electrophoresis at two different pH values in the presence of cyclodextrin derivatives previously synthesized in our laboratory. Two of these derivatives constitute a new class of receptor, the hemispherodextrins, in which a trehalose capping moiety is bonded to β-cyclodextrin. Because of their peculiar structure hemispherodextrins have very promising characteristics and the low receptor concentration required to achieve separation deserves particular interest.
