Stereoisomer separation of flavanones and flavanone‐7‐O‐glycosides by means of nanoliquid chromatography employing derivatized β‐cyclodextrins as mobile‐phase additive

Abstract

A nanoliquid chromatographic method for the stereoisomer separation of some flavanone aglycones and 7‐O‐glycosides has been proposed employing a C18 capillary column and a chiral mobile‐phase additive such as cyclodextrin. The chiral separation of eriodictyol, naringenin, and hesperitin was obtained by addition of carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin to the mobile phase, whereas eriocitrin, naringin, narirutin, and hesperidin diastereoisomers were resolved by using sulfobutyl ether‐β‐cyclodextrin. The influence of the composition of the mobile phase, the length of the capillary column, and the flow rate on the chiral recognition were investigated. At optimum conditions, baseline separation for the selected aglycones and glycosylated forms were achieved with a mobile phase consisting of 50 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 3 and 30% methanol containing 20 mM of carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin and 10 mM of sulfobutyl ether‐β‐cyclodextrin, respectively. Precision, linearity, and sensitivity of the method were tested. Limits of detection and quantification for the studied flavanone glycosides were in the range 1.3‐2.5 and 7.5‐12.5 µg/mL, respectively. The method was used for the determination of the diastereomeric composition of the flavanone‐7‐O‐glycosides in Citrus juices after solid‐phase extraction procedure.

“…In the optimized conditions, the flow rate of the column was about 450 nL/min. Nano-LC experiments were performed in uncoated fused silica capillaries (100 μm internal diameter) from Composite Metal Services, Hallow, UK), packed in our laboratory following the slurry packing procedure as described previously [74]. The capillary column was packed with ChromSpher C18, 3 μm particle size (Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA) for 15 cm.…”

“…On the other hand, the method of utilizing the CMPA has been widely used in exploratory research as a versatile and flexible method to demonstrate greater potential in chiral separation 13,14 . So far, a wide range of chiral selectors, including cyclodextrins (CDs), 14–18 chiral ion‐pair inclusions, 19,20 and chiral ligand‐exchange inclusions, 21–23 have been explored in CMPA techniques.…”

“…Another strategy is by using chiral mobile phase additives such as antibiotics, ligand exchangers, and CDs [ 14 , 15 ]. This method is implemented in an achiral stationary phase such as C‐18 [ 15 , 16 ]. This approach is a cheaper and more flexible alternative to CSPs.…”
