Abstract
Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted considerable interest in analytical chemistry. This work described the enantioseparations of twenty amino alcohol drugs with several DESs based on lactobionic acid (LA) as the sole chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis (CE) firstly. Compared to the single LA system and the ionic liquid/LA synergistic system, the DES system exhibited considerably improved separations. The influences of some key parameters on separations were investigated in detail. This work also experimentally demonstrated that the carboxyl group was indispensable in the process of chiral recognition. The mechanisms of the improvements of DESs on enantioseparations were studied via ultraviolet spectroscopy. Furthermore, the proposed method was used to determine the enantiomeric purity of propranolol hydrochloride successfully. This is the first time that chiral DESs were utilized as the sole chiral selectors in CE, and this strategy has opened up a new prospect for the use of DESs in enantioseparation.

From capillaries to microchips, green electrophoretic features for enantiomeric separations: A decade review (2013-2022). Electrophoresis 2023; 44:1471-1518. [PMID: 37667860 DOI: 10.1002/elps.202200178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Enantioseparation by the electromigration-based method is well-established and widely discussed in the literature. Electrophoretic strategies have been used to baseline resolve complex enantiomeric mixtures, typically using a selector substance into the background electrolyte (BGE) from capillaries to microchips. Along with developing new materials/substances for enantioseparations, it is the concern about the green analytical chemistry (GAC) principles for method development and application. This review article brings a last decade's update on the publications involving enantioseparation by electrophoresis for capillary and microchip systems. It also brings a critical discussion on GAC principles and new green metrics in the context of developing an enantioseparation method. Chemical and green features of native and modified cyclodextrins are discussed. Still, given the employment of greener substances, ionic liquids and deep-eutectic solvents are highlighted, and some new selectors are proposed. For all the mentioned selectors, green features about their production, application, and disposal are considered. Sample preparation and BGE composition in GAC perspective, as well as greener derivatization possibilities, were also addressed. Therefore, one of the goals of this review is to aid the electrophoretic researchers to look where they have not.

The critical evaluation of the effects of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the separation efficiency of selected biogenic amines and their metabolites during MEKC analysis. Talanta 2022; 238:122997. [PMID: 34857330 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) such as imidazole can be used to prevent the sorption of analytes onto the quartz walls of the capillary. Coating the capillary wall with a cation layer increases its surface stability, consequently improving the repeatability of separation process. Currently, examining the effects of dynamic coatings on the capillary wall is an emerging trend in capillary electrophoresis (CE) research. This study uses micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) to evaluate how ILs in the background electrolyte (BGE) affect the separation efficiency of biogenic amines (BAs). Specifically, this research focuses on 12 ILs built from cations containing an imidazole ring with different alkyl substituents and anions, as well as one IL containing a pyridinium cation with tetrafluoroborate anion. All analyzed ILs, which were added to the BGE in concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 mM, were tested for their ability to improve the electrophoretic separation of selected BAs, namely: homovanillic acid (HVA), vanililmandelic acid (VMA), dihydroxyphenylglicol (DHPG), 3-metoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl glicol (MHPG), normetanephrine (NM), metanephrine (M), and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC). The results showed that the most effective ILs added to the BGE were those with a chloride anion (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [HMIM+Cl-] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [EMIM+Cl-]) and those with a tetrafluoroborate anion (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [HMIM + BF4-]). Improved separation efficiency was also obtained for the BGE containing 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HMIM + PF6-]. On the other hand, ILs with trifluoromethanesulfonate [OTf-] or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [NTf2-] anions, even at low concentrations in the BGE, disturbed the flow of current through the capillary and worsened the separation process. Overall, this study provides a critical evaluation of the impact of different types and concentrations of ILs on the performance of the MEKC method during the analysis of selected BAs.

Effects of amino acid-derived chiral ionic liquids on cyclodextrin-mediated capillary electrophoresis enantioseparations of dipeptides. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1652:462342. [PMID: 34174715 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The synergistic effect of chiral ionic liquids composed of tetraalkylammonium ions and the amino acids Asn, Asp or Pro on the enantioseparations of dipeptides mediated by β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in capillary electrophoresis was studied. Addition of a chiral ionic liquid resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in the enantioresolutions compared to the sole presence of a cyclodextrin in the background electrolyte. The extent varied with the tetraalkylammonium cation (tetramethylammonium versus tetrabutylammonium) as well as the amino acid component of the ionic liquid. The presence of a chiral ionic liquid did not counteract the pH-dependent reversal of the enantiomer migration order of the dipeptides Ala-Phe, Ala-Tyr and Phe-Phe when increasing the pH of the background electrolyte from 2.5 to 3.5. Comparing the effect of a chiral ionic liquid based on Asp with the addition of equimolar concentrations of the individual components of the ionic liquid, a diverse picture was observed. In some cases, higher resolution values were obtained with the chiral ionic liquid, while for other cases superior enantioseparations were obtained upon separate addition of the amino acid component and a tetraalkylammonium chloride. With regard to the stereochemistry of the amino acid, a superior effect was typically observed using the l-configured amino acid, but in some cases higher resolution values were found in the presence of d-Asp. The rationale for the diverse observations is not obvious and may be due to the zwitterionic nature of analytes as well as the amino acid component of the chiral ionic liquid.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis is a powerful technique for the analysis of polar chiral compounds and has been widely accepted for analytical enantioseparations of drug compounds in pharmaceuticals and biological media. In addition, many mechanistic studies have been conducted in an attempt to rationalize enantioseparations in combination with spectroscopic and computational techniques. The present review will focus on recent examples of mechanistic aspects and summarize recent applications of stereoselective pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis published between January 2017 and November 2020. Various separation modes including electrokinetic chromatography in combination with several detection modes including laser-induced fluorescence, mass spectrometry and contactless conductivity detection will be discussed. A general trend also observed in other analytical techniques is the application of quality by design principles in method development and optimization.

Abstract
There is an interest in the application of ionic liquids as additives into the separation media to improve achiral and chiral separations in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC). This review will critically discuss the developments on the use of ionic liquids in the different modes of EKC during the last five years (2015-mid 2020). A healthy number of 48 research articles searched through Scopus were categorised into two: ionic liquids as sole pseudophase (micelles, microemulsions, ligand exchange pseudophase or molecular pseudophase) and ionic liquids with pseudophase (achiral or chiral). More than half of the papers dealt with chiral separations that were mostly facilitated by another additive or pseudophase. The role of ionic liquids for improvement of separations were analysed, and we provided some recommendations for further investigations. Finally, the use of ionic liquids in different on-line sample concentration or stacking methods (i.e., field enhancement and sweeping) was briefly discussed.
