Baseline separation of ten new, substituted [1-(imidazo-1-yl)-1-phenylmethyl)] benzothiazolinone and benzoxazolinone derivatives with one chiral center was achieved using cyclodextrin-capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE). A method for the enantiomeric resolution of these compounds was developed using neutral CDs (native alpha-, beta-, gamma-CDs or alpha-, beta-, gamma-hydroxypropyl (HP)-CDs) as chiral selectors. Operational parameters including the nature and concentration of the chiral selectors, pH, ionic strength, organic modifiers, temperature, and applied voltage were investigated. The use of neutral CDs provides enantiomeric resolution by inclusion of compounds in the CD cavity. The HP-alpha-CD and HP-beta-CD were found to be the most effective complexing agents and allowed efficient enantiomeric resolutions. Optimal separation of N-imidazole derivatives was obtained using 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 containing either HP-alpha-CD or HP-beta-CD (7.5-12.5 mM) at 25 degrees C, with an applied field of 0.50 kV.cm(-1) giving resolution factors Rs superior to 1.70 with migration times of the second enantiomer less than 13 min. The same enantiomer migration order observed for all molecules can be related to a close interaction mechanism with CDs. The influence of structural features of the solutes on Rs and tm was studied. The lipophilic character (log kw) of the solutes and the apparent and averaged association constants of inclusion complexes for four compounds with the six different CDs led us to rationalize the enantioseparation mechanisms. The conclusions were corroborated with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on CDs.
Baseline separation of some new acyclic nucleosides which are potential antiviral agents was achieved using cyclodextrin capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE). A method for the enantiomeric resolution of these compounds and determination of their enantiomeric purity was developed using anionic CDs (highly sulfated-CD or highly S-CD) as chiral selectors and capillaries, which were dynamically coated with polyethylene oxide (PEO). Operational parameters including (i) the nature and concentration of the chiral selectors, (ii) organic modifiers, (iii) temperature, and (iv) applied voltage were investigated. The use of charged CDs provides (i) a supplementary driving force for the compounds in a running buffer and (ii) enantiomeric resolution by inclusion of compounds in the CD cavity. The highly S-CD was found to be the most effective complexing agent and allowed good enantiomeric resolution. The complete resolution of five nucleoside analogs was obtained using 25 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, containing either highly S-alpha-CD, S-beta-CD or S-gamma-CD at 30 degrees C with an applied field of 0.30 kV/cm. The apparent association constants of the inclusion complexes were calculated. The enantiomer migration order for the molecules investigated was determined and the detection limit of enantiomeric impurities was found to vary between 0.34 to 3.56 ng.mL(-1) for the first enantiomer.
Using cyclodextrin-capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE), baseline separation of baclofen, a potent GABA(B) agonist; was achieved. A method for the enantioresolution of this gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and determination of enantiomeric purity was developed using CDs (highly sulfated-CD or highly S-CD) as chiral selectors and capillaries dynamically coated with polyethylene oxide (PEO). Operational parameters, such as the nature and concentration of the chiral selectors, buffer concentration, organic modifiers, and applied voltage, were investigated. The use of charged CDs provides a driving force in the opposite direction of the positively charged baclofen in the running buffer and enantiomeric resolution by inclusion of compounds in the CD cavity. Highly S-beta-CD was found to be the most effective complexing agent, allowing good enantiomeric resolution. The complete resolution was obtained using 25 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, containing 3% w/v highly S-beta-CD at 25 degrees C with aN applied field of 0.40 kV/cm. The apparent association constants of the inclusion complexes were calculated. This optimized method was validated in terms of repeatability and limits of detection (0.13 microg x mL(-1)) and quantification. The migration order was determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
