MULTIDIMENSIONAL GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY FOR THE SEPARATION OF TCDD ISOMERS

A multidimensional gas chromatographic technique with heartcutting was used for the determination of complex isomeric mixtures of tetra- chlorodibenzo-p-dioxins(TCDDs)which could not be completely separated on a single capillary column.When using so-called heartcutting technique ,only the interested single peak or section of the fraction eluting from the first column was transferred onto the second column with different stationary phase.Flame ionization detection was used as the monitor detector and electron capture detection as the main detector.This arrangement offers complete separation and avoids interference of the possible remained chlorinated solvents.The separation power of multi- dimensional GC was demonstrated by the determination of TCDD isomers.

Separation Properties of a New Polysiloxane-Anchored β-Cyclodextrin Derivative as Gas Chromatography Stationary Phase

A new capillary gas chromatography stationary phase, monokis (2,6 di O benzyl 3 O propyl (3’)) hexakis(2,6 di O benzyl 3 O methyl) β CD bonded polysiloxane, was synthesized. It exhibited separation abilities to disubstituted benzene isomers and some chiral solutes. It was also found that the polarity of CD derivatives can be lowered both by chemically bonding it to polysiloxane and by diluting it in polysiloxane. The separation abilities of the polysiloxane anchored CDs (SP CD) are higher than that of the unbonded CDs (S CD) and the diluted S CD at lower column temperature. Hydrosilylation reaction is one of the best methods to lower the operating temperature of CDs.

Enantioselective Determination of R-(-)-and S-(+)-Mexiletine in Microsomal Incubates by Capillary gas Chromatography

A method for the assay of R ( ) and S (+) mexiletine in rat liver microsomal incubates was developed. The method involved extraction of mexiletine from the microsomal incubates, and formation of mexiletine diastereomeric derivatives with a chiral reagent S ( ) N trifluoroacetyl prolyl chloride. Separation and quantitation of the diastereomeric mexiletine derivatives were carried out by a capillary gas chromatographic system with flame ionization detection. The assay was linear from 5 to 500 μg/ml for each enantiomer. The average recoveries of analytical method were 93 31±5 59% and 93 10±5 11% for R ( ) and S (+) mexiletine, respectively. The limits of detection and quantitation for the method were 1 0 μg/ml and 5 0 μg/ml for the R ( ) and S (+) mexiletine isomers, respectively. The reproducibility in the assay was better than 16.5% (RSD). The method has been applied to the metabolism study of R ( ) and S (+) mexiletine in rat liver microsomal incubates.

Preparation of insoluble β-CD polymer and its application to enantiomers and isomers separation

An insoluble β-cyclodextrin polymer cross-linked with epichlorohydrin was prepared, and its structure was identified with infrared spectrum. Colloid stationary phase was prepared by dissolving the polymer in the mixed solvent of diisopropyl ether, methylene dichloride and benzene and treated for 0.5 h by ultrasonication, and then was coated on a fused silica capillary column. The optimun reaction conditions are as follows: the mole ratio of epichlohydrin to β-cyclodextrin is 12.1:1, reacting at 65 °C for 24 h. The Chromatographic performance such as column efficiency, thermal stabilities and polarity were studied, two kinds of disubstituted benzene isomers and eight pairs of enantiomers were separated on the capillary column. The results show that the β-cyclodextrin polymer is suitable for use as a capillary gas chromatographic stationary phase, and possess excellent chromatographic properties in separating enantiomers and position isomers.

The Enantiomer Separations of Allethrone and Propargyllone Using Two Long Chain Acylated b-Cyclodextrin Derivatives as CGC Capillary Stationary Phases

Using two b-cyclodextrin derivatives (CDs) with long chain of acyl groups as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) of capillary gas chromatography (CGC), the enantiomers of racemic allethrone and propargyllone were well resolved after derived with acetyl chloride. The enantiomer excess values (e.e.%) of 1S-allethrone and 1S-propargyllone were also determined successfully using these CDs.

A crosslinked chiral stationary phase for the separation of enantiomers by gas and supercritical fluid chromatography

Crosslinking experin(?)tnts for the chiral stationary phase OV-225-L-Val-t-butylamide within both fused silica and glass capillary columns have been carried out.Amino acid enantiomers were separated on crosslinked columns by、both GC and SFC methods.In SFC,the α values of amino acid enantiomers are independent of the density of the mobile phase,and they are hig her than those obtained by GC for the tested enantiomers with the same column due to the lower column tempera- ture used in SFC.

Gain deeper insights into traditional Chinese medicines using multidimensional chromatography combined with chemometric approaches

Traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs)possess a rich historical background,unique theoretical framework,remarkable therapeutic efficacy,and abundant resources.However,the modernization and internationalization of TCMs have faced significant obstacles due to their diverse ingredients and unknown mechanisms.To gain deeper insights into the phytochemicals and ensure the quality control of TCMs,there is an urgent need to enhance analytical techniques.Currently,two-dimensional(2D)chromatography,which incorporates two independent separation mechanisms,demonstrates superior separation capabilities compared to the traditional one-dimensional(1D)separation system when analyzing TCMs samples.Over the past decade,new techniques have been continuously developed to gain actionable insights from complex samples.This review presents the recent advancements in the application of multidimensional chromatography for the quality evaluation of TCMs,encompassing 2D-gas chromatography(GC),2D-liquid chromatography(LC),as well as emerging three-dimensional(3D)-GC,3D-LC,and their associated data-processing approaches.These studies highlight the promising potential of multidimensional chromatographic separation for future phytochemical analysis.Nevertheless,the increased separation capability has resulted in higher-order data sets and greater demands for data-processing tools.Considering that multidimensional chromatography is still a relatively nascent research field,further hardware enhancements and the implementation of chemometric methods are necessary to foster its robust development.
