Abstract
A hydrophilic silica-based stationary phase with surface bound N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc-silica) was prepared in house and characterized physically via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and chromatographically over a wide range of mobile phase compositions. While both FTIR and TGA confirmed the attachment of the GlcNAc ligands to the silica surface, the chromatographic evaluation of GlcNAc-silica with polar and slightly polar standard solutes (e.g., sugars, nucleic acid fragments, phenolic, and benzoic acid derivatives) yielded the typical hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) behaviors in the sense that retention increased with increases in solute polarity and the organic content (i.e., acetonitrile) of the hydro-organic mobile phase (i.e., ACN-rich mobile phase). Sugars derivatized with 1-naphthylamine (1-NA) and 2-aminoanthrcene (2-AA) such as xylose, glucose, and short chains maltooligosaccharides constituted the most polar species for HILIC retention evaluation, and in addition, the maltooligosaccharides offered a polar homologous series for gauging the hydrophilicity of GlcNAc-silica in analogy with alkylbenzene homologous series and other nonpolar homologues for evaluating the hydrophobicity of non-polar stationary phases. On the other hand, the benzoic acid and phenolic acid derivatives were the probe solutes for evaluating the HILIC retention dependence of ionizable solutes on the pH of the mobile phase. Similarly, the nucleobase and nucleoside weak basic solutes as well as some typical cyclic nucleotide acidic solutes allowed for the examination of the dependence of solute retention on the pH of the mobile as well as the polarity of the species.

Abstract
The facile preparation of a monolithic capillary column with surface bound polar ligands for use in hydrophilic interaction capillary electrochromatography is described. It involved the conversion of poly(carboxyethyl acrylate[CEA]-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate[EDMA]) precursor monolith (the so-called carboxy monolith) into a Tris bonded monolith by a post-polymerization functionalization process in the presence of a water soluble carbodiimide, namely N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N´-ethylcarbodiimidehydrochloride. The carbodiimide assisted conversion, allowed the covalent attachment of the carboxyl group of the precursor monolith to the amino group of the Tris ligand via a stable amide linkage. This resulted in the formation of Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith, which exhibited the typical retention behavior of hydrophilic interaction stationary phase when analyzing polar and slightly polar neutral or charged compounds. In fact, neutral polar species such as dimethylformamide, formamide and thiourea were retained in the order of increased polarity with acetonitrile rich mobile phase. Also, neutral p-nitrophenyl maltooligosaccharides (PNP-maltooligosaccharides) served as a polar homologous series for gauging the hydrophilicity of the Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith, thus forming a versatile testing homologous series for other hydrophilic columns. Other polar anionic species (e.g., hydroxy benzoic acids and nucleotides) and weakly polar anionic compounds (e.g., dansyl amino acids and phenoxy acid herbicides) as well as polar weak bases namely nucleobases and nucleosides were used to probe the hydrophilic characters of the Tris poly(CEA-co-EDMA) monolith. The various polar and weakly polar compounds just mentioned revealed the wide potentiality of the hydrophilic interaction column under investigation.

J Chromatogr A 2023; 1687:463670. [PMID: 36463648 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In affinity chromatography, non-specific interactions between the ligands and the affinity column may affect the results, leading to misinterpretations during the investigation of protein-ligand interactions (detection of false positives in ligand screening, lack of specificity in purification). Such non-specific interactions may arise both from the underlying support or from the target protein itself. If the second ones are protein-dependent (and cannot be studied in a general framework), the first ones occur in the same way regardless of the immobilized target. We propose a methodology to identify the origin of such non-specific interactions with the underlying material of the affinity column. This methodology relies on the systematic investigation of the retention behavior of a set of 41 low-molecular weight compounds covering a wide chemical space (net charge, log D, functionality). We first demonstrate that the main source of non-specific interactions on the most commonly used GMA-co-EDMA monolith comes from hydrophobic effects. To reduce such non-specific interactions, we developed a new hydrophilic glycidyl methacrylate-based monolith by replacing the EDMA crosslinker by the more hydrophilic NN' Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). Optimization of the synthesis parameters (monomer content, initiation type, temperature) has focused on the reduction of non-specific interaction with the monolithic support while maximizing the amount of protein that can be grafted onto the monolith at the issue of its synthesis. The retention data of the 41 test solutes on the new poly(GMA-co-MBA) monolith shows a drastic reduction of non-specific interactions except for cationic compounds. The particular behavior of cationic compounds is due to their electrostatic interactions with carboxylic groups resulting from the partial acidic hydrolysis of amide groups of MBA during the epoxide ring opening step. So, the ring opening step in acidic media was replaced by a hot water treatment to avoid side reaction on MBA. The new monolith poly(GMA-co-MBA) not only has improved hydrophilic surface properties but also a higher protein density (16 ± 0.8 pmol cm-1 instead of 8 ± 0.3 pmol cm-1). To highlight the benefits of this new hydrophilic monolith for affinity chromatographic studies, frontal affinity chromatography experiments were conducted on these monoliths grafted with con A.

Abstract
A carboxy precursor monolithic column, namely poly(carboxy ethyl acrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) was first produced in a 100 μm i.d. fused-silica capillary and subsequently surface bonded with n-octadecyl (C18 ) ligands by a post-polymerization functionalization process with octadecylamine in the presence of N,N´-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The bonding of octadecyl ligands was achieved via an amide linkage between the carboxy functions of the precursor monolith and the amino group of the octadecylamine compound. The resulting C18 monolith exhibited a very low electroosmotic flow (EOF), a fact that required the incorporation of small amounts of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in the polymerization solution to produce a precursor monolith with fixed negative charges of sulfonate groups. This may indicate that the conjugation of the carboxy functions with octadecylamine occurred to a large extent so that the amount of residual carboxy functions was sparsely dispersed and not enough to produce a desirable EOF. The EOF velocity of the C18 column having fixed negative charges provided by the incorporated AMPS increased with increasing ACN content of the mobile phase signaling an increased binding of mobile phase ions to the polar amide linkages near the monolithic surface, and a decreased viscosity of the mobile phase, both of which would result in increased EOF velocity. The C18 monolithic column constituted a novel nonpolar sorbent for reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography for nonpolar solutes, e.g., alkylbenzenes, alkylphenyl ketones, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and slightly polar compounds including phenol and chlorophenols. The C18 monolithic column exhibited relatively high selectivity toward chlorophenols differing by one chloro substituent.

Various Strategies in Post-Polymerization Functionalization of Organic Polymer-Based Monoliths Used in Liquid Phase Separation Techniques. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25061323.

Abstract
This review article is aimed at summarizing the various strategies that have been developed so far for post-polymerization functionalization (PPF) of organic polymer-based monoliths used in liquid phase separation techniques, namely HPLC at all scales and capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The reader will find the organic reactions performed on monolithic columns for grafting the chromatographic ligands needed for solving the separation problems on hand. This process involves therefore the fabrication of template monoliths that carry reactive functional groups to which chromatographic ligands can be covalently attached in a post-polymerization kind of approach. That is, the template monolith that has been optimized in terms of pore structure and other morphology can be readily modified and tailor made on column to fit a particular separation. The review article will not only cover the various strategies developed so far but also describe their separation applications. To the best of our knowledge, this review article will be the first of its kind.

Preparation of a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin functionalized monolithic column by one-pot sequential reaction and its application for capillary electrochromatographic enantiomer separation. J Chromatogr A 2019; 1603:269-277.

Abstract
In this study, a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) functionalized monolithic capillary column was prepared by one-pot sequential reaction for the first time. The preparation of the HP-β-CD functionalized monolithic column involves two sequential reactions in one pot: (1) the ring opening reaction between HP-β-CD and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) catalyzed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU); (2) the copolymerization of GMA-HP-β-CD, ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS). A series of monolithic columns were successfully prepared by varying the temperature of the ring opening reaction or several copolymerization parameters (the type and composition of porogenic solvents, ratio of GMA-HP-β-CD to EDMA and polymerization temperature). Then, the morphologies and structures of the resulting monolithic stationary phases were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption analysis. Raman spectroscopy clearly indicated the successful bonding of HP-β-CD onto the monolith. When the prepared chiral stationary phase (CSP) was applied for the separation of a set of racemic compounds by capillary electrochromatography (CEC), including racemic anticholinergic drugs, β-adrenergic drugs, meptazinol and its intermediates, satisfactory separation selectivities were obtained. Additionally, the column also showed excellent separation abilities towards four flavanone glycosides epimers. Furthermore, the prepared monolithic columns exhibited satisfactory stability and reproducibilities of retention time, resolution and column efficiency. These results demonstrated the potential and usefulness of the developed one-pot sequential strategy in the preparation of other derivatized CD functionalized monolithic columns.

Abstract
Mixed-mode phases have become very popular in the last decade, and the number of new mixed/multi-mode sorbents is growing fast. Unlike single-mode stationary phases, perfectly suited for the separation of the analytes possessing similar physicochemical properties, for instance reversed-phase chromatography for hydrophobic solutes, mixed-mode sorbents providing multimodal interactions can render better separation selectivity for complex mixtures of solutes differing significantly in their physicochemical characteristics. The most frequent modern mixed-mode stationary phases are di/tri-mode sorbents embracing the following interactions, hydrophobic, electrostatic (coulombic), and hydrophilic. According to their structures, it is possible to distinguish silica-based, polymer-based, hybrid, and monolithic mixed-mode stationary phases. Herewith, newly synthesized mixed-mode sorbents developed within the last two and half years are categorized, discussed, and summarized. The main attention is devoted to the description of the synthetic routes and characterization methods applied for the new stationary phases.

Abstract
Two types of monolithic stationary phases with incorporated hydroxyl functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs) were introduced and evaluated, namely, the poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith, denoted as poly(GMA-co-EDMA), and a diol derivative of the poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith. The diol derivative monolith was obtained by subjecting the poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith with physically incorporated OH-MWCNTs to an acid treatment with 0.1 M sulfuric acid at a moderate temperature of 50 °C for a total of 7.5 h. Also, the poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith with both physically and covalently incorporated OH-MWCNTs was prepared by subjecting the physically incorporated monolithic column to a Lewis acid catalyzed reaction in the presence of BF3 in order to react some of the OH-MWCNTs with the epoxy rings of the poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith. In all cases, the OH-MWCNTs were subjected to high power sonication at an output power of 10 W for 15 min with the aim of better dispersing the incorporated nanotubes into the monoliths under investigation. In fact, high power sonication yielded columns with a relatively higher plate count (∼2 fold increase) when compared to low power sonication. While the incorporation of OH-MWCNTs into the poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith acted as an amendment boosting the nonpolar character of the monolith and providing additional π-π interactions, the diol derivative monolith with its polar backbone character acted nearly as a support for the OH-MWCNT stationary phase giving rise to a carbon nanotube sorbent providing hydrophobic and π-π interactions via the incorporated OH-MWCNTs. These two kinds of columns were evaluated using alkylbenzenes, toluene derivatives, aniline compounds, phenols and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Two neutral polyhydroxylated silica bonded stationary phases, namely maltose-silica (MALT-silica) and sorbitol-silica (SOR-silica), have been introduced and chromatographically characterized in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) for a wide range of polar compounds. The bonding of the maltose and sorbitol to the silica surface was brought about by first converting bare silica to an epoxy-activated silica surface via reaction with γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) followed by attaching maltose and sorbitol to the epoxy surface in the presence of the Lewis acid catalyst BF3.ethereate. Both silica based columns offered the expected retention characteristics usually encountered for neutral polar surface. The retention mechanism is majorly based on solute' differential partitioning between an organic rich hydro-organic mobile phase (e.g., ACN rich mobile phase) and an adsorbed water layer on the surface of the stationary phase although additional hydrogen bonding was also responsible in some cases for solute retention. The MALT-silica column proved to be more hydrophilic and offered higher retention, separation efficiency and resolution than the SOR-silica column among the tested polar solutes such as derivatized mono- and oligosaccharides, weak phenolic acids, cyclic nucleotide monophosphate and nucleotide-5'-monophosphates, and weak bases, e.g., nucleobases and nucleosides.
