In the present work, we illustrate the ability of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis to assist the synthesis of chiral imidazolines within our medicinal chemistry programs. In particular, a Chiralpak® IB® column containing cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) immobilized onto a 5 μm silica gel was used for the enantioselective HPLC analysis of chiral imidazolines synthesized in the frame of hit-to-lead explorations and designed for exploring the effect of diverse amide substitutions. Very profitably, reversed-phase (RP) conditions succeeded in resolving the enantiomers in nine out of the 10 investigated enantiomeric pairs, with α values always higher than 1.10 and RS values up to 2.31. All compounds were analysed with 50% (v) water while varying the content of the two organic modifiers acetonitrile and methanol. All the employed eluent systems were buffered with 40 mM ammonium acetate while the apparent pH was fixed at 7.5. Based on the experimental results, the prominent role of π-π stacking interactions between the substituted electron-rich phenyl groups outside of the polymeric selector and the complementary aromatic region in defining analyte retention and stereodiscrimination was identified. The importance of compound polarity in explaining the retention behaviour with the employed RP system was readily evident when a quantitative structure-property relationship study was performed on the retention factor values (k) of the 10 compounds, as computed with a 30% (v) methanol containing mobile phase. Indeed, good Pearson correlation coefficients of retention factors (r - log k1st = −0.93; r - log k2nd = −0.94) were obtained with a water solubility descriptor (Ali-logS). Interestingly, a n-hexane/chloroform/ethanol (88:10:2, v/v/v)-based non-standard mobile phase allowed the almost base-line enantioseparation (α = 1.06; RS = 1.26) of the unique compound undiscriminated under RP conditions.

A reversed-phase h.p.l.c. system, with an ODS-Hypersil column with acetonitrile or methanol in ammonium acetate buffer as mobile phase, is described for the separation of uro-and copro-porphyrinogen isomers. The porphyrinogens are detected amperometrically with sensitivity comparable with that of the fluorescent detection of porphyrins. The effects of pH, buffer concentration and organic modifiers on retention and resolution were studied. The method is suitable for both analytical and preparative separation of porphyrinogens.

Phenoxy acid herbicides are used worldwide and are potential contaminants of drinking water. Reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is commonly used to monitor phenoxy acid herbicides in water samples. RP-HPLC retention of phenoxy acids is affected by both mobile phase composition and pH, but the synergic effect of these two factors, which is also dependent on the structure and pKa of solutes, cannot be easily predicted. In this paper, to support the setup of RP-HPLC analysis of phenoxy acids under application of linear mobile phase gradients we modelled the simultaneous effect of the molecular structure and the elution conditions (pH, initial acetonitrile content in the eluent and gradient slope) on the retention of the solutes. In particular, the chromatographic conditions and the molecular descriptors collected on the analyzed compounds were used to estimate the retention factor k by Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression. Eventually, a variable selection approach, Genetic Algorithms, was used to reduce the model complexity and allow an easier interpretation. The PLS model calibrated on the retention data of 15 solutes and successively tested on three external analytes provided satisfying and reliable results.

Abstract The chromatographic behavior of tegafur and its impurities on a naphthalene Cosmosil piNAP column under reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography conditions was examined. A good description of the retention was achieved through the application of statistical weights to the widely used quadratic relationships between the logarithm of the retention factor (log k) and the organic solvent concentration in the mobile phase. Optimum conditions for isocratic separation of the compounds were found with acetonitrile concentration of 10-30% in the mobile phase

Pain is defined as a disagreeable sensory and emotional experience related to a tissue or potential lesion. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is the most used non-morphine analgesic. For the determination of paracetamol we developed and validated the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 liquid chromatograph equipped with a multidimensional detector. After determining the optimum conditions of analysis (80/20 water / acetonitrile mobile phase, flow rate 1.0 mL / min, detection wavelength 245 nm) we validated the method following the following parameters: linearity of response function, linearity of results, limit (LD = 0.66 mg / mL) and quantification limit (LQ = 2.00 mg / mL), and precision. The method of determining paracetamol by HPLC was applied to 30 samples of serum collected from patients who had pain and were treated with paracetamol.

The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of some selected, industrially important aromatic sulfones has been investigated. The chromatographic behaviour of three groups of aromatic sulfones has been studied. The optimum conditions of separation and UV spectra of the sulfones and some of their hydroxy and benzyloxy derivatives are presented. The dependences of capacity factors vs methanol content in mobile phase are mentioned. The results obtained have been applied to the quantitative analysis of different technical-grade samples and isomer mixtures. For all the separation methods mentioned the concentration ranges of linear calibration curves have been determined.

Abstract We used paired-ion high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the 4-nitrophenol content of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a substrate for alkaline phosphatase analysis. This was done on a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase of methanol/water, 45/55 by vol, containing 3 ml of tetrabutylammonium phosphate reagent per 200 ml of solvent. At a flow rate of 1 ml/min, 4-nitrophenol was eluted at 9 min and monitored at 404 nm; 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was eluted at 5 min and could be monitored at 311 nm. Samples of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate obtained from several sources contained 0.3 to 7.8 mole of 4-nitrophenol per mole of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate.

A reversed phase HPLC method that allows the separation and simultaneous determination of the preservatives methyl paraben (M.P.) and propyl paraben (P.P.) is described. The separations were effected by using an initial mobile phase of water: acetonitrile (50:50) on Inertsil C18 to elute P.P. and M.P. The detector wavelength was set at 205 nm. Under these conditions, separation of the two components was achieved in less than 10 min. Analytical characteristics of the separation such as precision, specificity, linear range and reproducibility were evaluated. The developed method was applied for the determination of preservative M.P. and P.P. at concentration of 0.01 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL respectively. The method was successfully used for determining both compounds in sucralfate suspension.

Environmental context. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and numerous studies have demonstrated a marked increase in the levels of PBDEs in human biological tissues and fluids, especially breast milk. How PBDEs are transported through the environment, taken up by biota, transported across membranes, and metabolised depends strongly on such fundamental properties as lipophilicity (log KOW). However, very little data on log KOW exist for PBDEs. In the present paper, the authors determine PBDE metabolites’ log KOW using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, as recommended by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and US Environmental Protection Agency, along with quantitative structure–property relationships. Abstract. n-Octanol–water partitioning coefficient (log KOW) values of selected hydroxylated and methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ether metabolites were measured for the first time by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using a C18 stationary phase with a water/methanol mixture as a mobile phase. The retention parameters, log kw (extrapolated retention indices) and k′ (gradient retention indices) were calibrated to log KOW by a set of calibration standards. For the PBDE metabolites investigated, extrapolated retention indices from isocratic elution seem to be more reliable and their RP-HPLC-derived log KOW values were found to range from 4.63 to 7.67. Some commonly available software, including ClogP, KowWin, AclogP, MlogP, AlogP, MilogP, and XlogP, was used to estimate the log KOW values of the analytes. Significant correlations were obtained between the RP-HPLC-derived log KOW and the software-computed log KOW, with squared correlation coefficients (R2) ranging from 0.793 to 0.922, but the difference between them was also significant. Then a quantitative structure–property relationship model based on topological descriptors was established and showed good reliability and predictive power for the estimation of RP-HPLC-derived log KOW values of PBDE metabolites. It was applied to estimate the log KOW values of some PBDE metabolites that are commercially available or have appeared in the literature. Lastly, factor analysis was carried out using the theoretical linear salvation/free-energy relationships, which indicated the average polarisability (α) and the most negative atomic partial Mulliken charge in the molecule (q–) were the most important parameters affecting their partition between n-octanol and water, supporting the factorisation of log KOW in bulk and electronic terms.
