Impact of conditioning runs on hydrophilic interaction chromatography repeatability and its application as a second dimension in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography. J Sep Sci 2024; 47:e2300935.

Abstract
A common separation approach for polar compounds involves coupling reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) in two-dimensional chromatography. The higher proportion of acetonitrile used in the HILIC mobile phase, which enhances mass spectrometry detection, encourages its use in the second dimension. Previous studies demonstrated that the HILIC column can be partially equilibrated within very short timeframes without compromising retention time stability, rendering it suitable in online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) setups. In addition, a specific number of conditioning cycles seems necessary to establish stable retention times. Here, the repeatability of HILIC when employed as second dimension in LC×LC was investigated, with a focus on determining the required number of conditioning cycles to achieve repeatable retention times. Various parameters influenced by the LC×LC online modulation system were studied, such as steep gradient slopes up to 8%, and very short equilibration times, less than or equal to dead time, as well as injection volume and solvent, which depend on the first dimension. Finally, the use of HILIC as a second dimension with tailored conditioning runs was applied to the analysis of hyaluronic acid hydrogel digests. The application of an RPLC×HILIC method using five conditioning runs yielded exceptional stability in second-dimension retention times.

Retention behavior of nucleosides and nucleobases on a 3 μm undecylenic acid-functionalized silica column in per aqueous liquid chromatography and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography separation modes. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1721:464833.

Abstract
A 3 μm undecylenic acid-functionalized stationary phase (UAS) was prepared for the separation of nucleosides and nucleobases using per aqueous liquid chromatography (PALC) and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). The retention behaviors of nucleosides and nucleobases in PALC and HILIC modes were explored by adjusting parameters such as water content, buffer concentration, pH of the mobile phase and column temperature. The experimental data and separation chromatogram demonstrated that PALC could provide retention comparable to that of HILIC for nucleosides and nucleobases. Comparative studies using diluted adenosine solutions evaluated theoretical plates and peak shape for the same retention factors (between 0.25 and 5.0) in PALC and HILIC. There was no buffer component in the mobile phases used to operate the comparisons. HILIC mode is more efficient for adenosine than PALC mode at low retention factors. It's the exact opposite phenomenon for high retention factors. It is proposed that the mass transfer of adenosine between the UAS, the water-rich layer and the ACN-rich mobile phase in HILIC is relatively slow. Given the significant use of toxic ACN in HILIC, PALC emerges as a safer and more effective alternative for separating nucleosides and nucleobases.

Abstract
Mobile phase pH is a critically important parameter in reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) separations involving analytes that display acidic or basic properties in the pH range used for the mobile phase. The main problem in measuring mobile phase pH lies in the fact that RPLC mobile phases are typically aqueous-organic mixtures. In addition to experimental difficulties, the pH values refer to different aqueous-organic compositions that cannot be correctly compared. Given this situation, the unified pH (wabspH, also termed as ) based on the absolute chemical potential of the solvated proton has been proposed as a rigorous way of characterising mobile phase acidity that is fully inter-comparable between mobile phases of any composition. Here we report the wabspH values of 78 reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry mobile phases that were carefully measured by potential differences in a symmetric cell with two glass electrode half-cells and almost ideal ionic liquid triethylamylammonium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imide [N2225][NTf2] salt bridge with multiple overlapping measurements. The system of altogether 300 ΔwabspH values was anchored to the pH value of standard pH 7.00 aqueous buffer solution. The consistency standard deviation of the whole set of measurements was 0.09 pH units. In addition to the differential potentiometric reference method, simpler measurement methods that use double junction reference or double junction combined electrodes were tested and were found suitable for routine laboratories if high accuracy is not required.

Abstract
We described two novel zwitterionic polymer-terminated porous silica stationary phases containing the same pyridinium cation and anions of different side chains (carboxylate and phosphonate groups) for use in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). These two novel columns were prepared by polymerizing 4-vinylpyridine and grafting it onto a silica surface, followed by quaternization reaction with 3-bromopropionic acid (Sil-VPC24) and (3-bromopropyl) phosphonic acid (Sil-VPP24), which possess positively charged pyridinium groups, and negatively charged carboxylate and phosphonate groups, respectively. The products obtained were verified through relevant characterization techniques such as elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Zeta potential analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The retention properties and mechanisms of different types of compounds (neutral, cationic, and anionic) on the two zwitterionic-modified silica stationary phases were studied by varying the buffer salt concentration and pH of the eluent. The separation of phenol and aromatic acids, disubstituted benzene isomers, sulfonamide drugs, as well as nucleosides/nucleobases were investigated on the two packed novel columns and a commercial zwitterionic column in identical HILIC mode, ensuring a thorough comparison between both novel columns and with a commercial standard. The results illustrated that various compounds could be separated up to various efficiencies based on the mechanism of hydrophilic interaction-based retention between the solutes and the two zwitterionic polymer stationary phases. The Sil-VPP24 column demonstrated the best separation performance out of the three, as well as flexible selectivity and excellent resolution. Both novel columns exhibited excellent stability and chromatographic repeatability for the separation of seven nucleosides and bases.

Abstract
In this study, we discuss the origin of the slightly increased response of the charged aerosol detector when low-concentration polar drugs formulated with sodium chloride are analyzed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to the charged aerosol detector. In the case of tromethamine mixed with saline solutions, we investigated several levels including the mobile phase, sample matrix, and detection. We show that the analysis of the rich-salted sample results in both interactions with the mobile phase modifiers and the stationary phase during the run time. With 150 mM NaCl as a compounding solution, a slight increase in the tromethamine peak area was observed (<5.5%). Our study suggests that chloride ions in excess sequentially interact firstly with the counterions from the organic modifiers and secondly with the analyte via the stationary phase and the contribution of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography retention mechanisms. Because of these effects, the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-charged aerosol detector analysis of drugs in saline solutions requires particular attention, and a correction factor for quantitative purposes that accounts for formulation ions remains appropriate.

Abstract
Introduction: Oligopeptides exhibit great prospects for clinical application and its separation is of great importance in new drug development. Methods: To accurately predict the retention of pentapeptides with analogous structures in chromatography, the retention times of 57 pentapeptide derivatives in seven buffers at three temperatures and four mobile phase compositions were measured via reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The parameters ( k H A , k A , and p K a ) of the acid-base equilibrium were obtained by fitting the data corresponding to a sigmoidal function. We then studied the dependence of these parameters on the temperature (T), organic modifier composition (φ, methanol volume fraction), and polarity ( P m N parameter). Finally, we proposed two six-parameter models with (1) pH and T and (2) pH and φ or P m N as the independent variables. These models were validated for their prediction capacities by linearly fitting the predicted retention factor k-value and the experimental k-value. Results: The results showed that log k H A and log k A exhibited linear relationships with 1 / T , φ or P m N for all pentapeptides, especially for the acid pentapeptides. In the model of pH and T, the correlation coefficient (R2) of the acid pentapeptides was 0.8603, suggesting a certain prediction capability of chromatographic retention. Moreover, in the model of pH and φ or P m N , the R2 values of the acid and neutral pentapeptides were greater than 0.93, and the average root mean squared error was approximately 0.3, indicating that the k-values could be effectively predicted. Discussion: In summary, the two six-parameter models were appropriate to characterize the chromatographic retention of amphoteric compounds, especially the acid or neutral pentapeptides, and could predict the chromatographic retention of pentapeptide compounds.

Abstract
Stability as a function of mobile phase pH is an important consideration when selecting a chromatographic column. While the pH stability of reversed-phase columns is widely studied, there are relatively few reports of the stability of hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) columns. We evaluated the stability of silica and ethylene-bridged hybrid HILIC columns when used with mobile phases containing basic buffers. The predominant mode of column degradation observed in our studies was a decrease in efficiency due to voiding, resulting from the hydrolysis of the silica particles. Associated with this were increases in tailing factors. Retention factor changes were also noted but were smaller than the efficiency losses. The dependence of the rate of efficiency decrease on the key variables of temperature, mobile phase pH and water content were studied for an unbonded silica column. The effect of the acetonitrile concentration on the pH of the mixed aqueous/acetonitrile mobile phases was also investigated. Using conditions found to cause a 50% decrease in efficiency after approximately five hours of exposure to the basic solution, we evaluated eight different commercially available HILIC columns containing silica or ethylene-bridged hybrid particles. The results show large differences between the stability of the silica and ethylene-bridged hybrid particle stationary phases, with the latter exhibiting greater stability.

Abstract
We compared the separation selectivities of 19 different hydrophilic interaction chromatography columns. The stationary phases included underivatized silica and hybrid particles, cyano‐bonded silica, materials with neutral ligands such as amide, diol, pentahydroxy, and urea, zwitterionic sorbents, and mixed‐mode materials with amine functionalities. A set of 77 small molecules was used to evaluate the columns. We visualized the retention behavior of the different columns using retention time correlation plots. The analytes were classified as cations, anions, or neutral based on their estimated charge under the separation conditions. This involved adjusting the dissociation constants of the analytes for the acetonitrile content of the mobile phase and experimentally determining the pH of the mobile phase containing 70% acetonitrile. The retention correlation plots show that the selectivity differences strongly depended on ionic interactions. Comparisons of the neutral stationary phases (e.g., diol vs. amide) showed more similar selectivity than did comparisons of neutral columns versus columns with cation or anion exchange activity (bare silica or amine columns, respectively). The zwitterionic columns did not behave as perfectly neutral. The correlation plots indicated that they exhibited either cation or anion exchange activity, although to a lesser degree than the silica and amine‐containing stationary phases.

Abstract
Tromethamine (TMM), often encountered in a final drug product, exhibits interesting chemical properties as a counter ion, buffer, or active ingredient. European and US pharmacopeias propose titration against hydrogen chloride for TMM assays. However, this method can be a hindrance when using drugs containing low concentrations of TMM in complex buffered formulations. Due to the lack of chromophores and the high hydrophilicity of TMM, we performed a simple and reliable hydrophilic interaction chromatography coupled with a charged aerosol detector (HILIC-CAD) separation approach as an alternative for TMM analysis. An amide stationary phase and a mobile phase consisting of a binary mixture of acetonitrile and 10 mM ammonium formate, pH 3 (80/20, V/V) were used. As the CAD response deeply depends on parameters such as stationary phases and pH buffer, we investigated their impact and explored the optimal signal conditions. Including TMM analogs such as tris(hydroxymethyl) nitromethane and 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol allowed us to select these parameters appropriately. The effects of the evaporation temperature, flow rate, and power function value (PFV) on the CAD signal response were also studied and optimized. The method was validated according to the ICH Q2 R1 guidelines. A linear response (mean R2 > 0.997) covering the range for low TMM concentrations (170-520 μg/mL) was achieved. Satisfactory intra-day and inter-day precisions were obtained with RSDs lower than 1.9% and 2.8%, respectively. The trueness ranged from 99.6% to 101.2%, and the LOD was found to be 1.1 μg/mL. The HILIC-CAD method has been applied to a sterile TMM solution for injection.

Abstract
A rapid, sensitive method for the separation of catecholamine biomarkers (CAs), of importance in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in Parkinson’s disease (PD), has been successfully developed using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). Dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NE) are known to be three to fivefold elevated above normal in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. HILIC facilitates the rapid and efficient separation of these polar biomarkers, which can be poorly retained by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), while electrochemical detection (ECD) at the boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode provides enhanced nanomolar detection. Three HILIC columns were compared, namely the superficially porous (core-shell) Z-HILIC column and the Z-cHILIC and Z-HILIC fully porous columns. The core-shell Z-HILIC showed the highest efficiency with a rapid separation within 60 s. The HILIC method utilizing the core-shell Z-HILIC column was initially optimized for the simultaneous analysis of DA, EPI, and NE using UV detection. The advantages of using the BDD electrode over UV detection were explored, and the improved limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) measured were 40, 50, and 50 nM for DA, EPI, and NE, respectively. Method validation is reported in terms of the linearity, repeatability, reproducibility, and LODs. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied to the real sample analysis of urinary CAs following phenylboronic acid (PBA) solid phase extraction (SPE) pretreatment.

Abstract
Methionine (MET) is combined with paracetamol (PAR) in a pain relief soft capsule in order to prevent the haematologic damage of paracetamol. A hydrophillic liquid chromatographic (HILIC) method was developed for simultaneous determination of PAR and MET in the combined formulation. Various analytical conditions were investigated, and the final method was chosen using silica column (150 × 4,6 mm; 5 μm), mobile phase of acetonitrile - aqueous solution of 10 mM formic acid 5 mM diethylamine (60:40, v/v), UV detection at 254 nm for PAR and 210 nm for MET. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. The method was successfully applied for quantitation of both compounds in soft capsule preparations bought from the market. Notably, in this study, a novel approach was proposed to improve peak shape of amino acid - a problem often observed in HILIC. The addition of diethylamine to mobile phase shortened the retention time of MET and significantly improved peak shape on both silica and cyano columns, due to electrostatic interaction competition and silanol end-capping effect. The result of this research demonstrated the advantages of HILIC in simultaneous analysis of a polar compound amino acid, especially in combination with a less polar substance. The use of diethylamine as a mobile phase modifier to enhance peak shape is a new suggestion that can be used in further studies on amino acid analysis by HILIC.

Abstract
To explore the retention and separation of stevioside polar compounds on a sulfonic acid-functionalized cation exchange column, the effects of different organic solvent-water mobile phases on the retention behavior of polar rebaudioside A (RA) and its analogues on the column were investigated over a wide range of organic solvent contents. The obtained U-shape curves hinted that the retention of the compounds on the same column transitioned from a reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode to a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mode when the water-rich state in the mobile phases changed to an organic solvent-rich state. Under the RPLC mode, no separation of RA from its analogues was observed. The HILIC mode was beneficial to the retention and separation of RA and its analogues. Compared with polar protic solvents, aprotic solvents were more conducive to the retention and separation of the polar compounds based on the HILIC mode in organic solvent-rich mobile phases. Three models were used to evaluate and discuss the HILIC retention and separation of the compounds on the column. In the aprotic solvent-rich mobile phase, the HILIC retention of RA and its analogues was effectively described by a mixed-mode model; in the polar proton solvent-rich mobile phase, the retention of analytes was best described by an linear solvation strength (LSS) model. The content and composition of the organic solvent in the mobile phase were determined to be important influencing factors that regulated the retention time for the RA and its analogues, and even the separation mechanism for HILIC. The present work provides a theoretical basis for guiding one to prepare high-purity RA from its analogues by predicting the retention time.
