Abstract
The cycle time of a standard liquid chromatography (LC) system is the sum of the time for the chromatographic run and the autosampler injection sequence. Although LC separation times in the 1-10 s range have been demonstrated, injection sequences are commonly >15 s, limiting throughput possible with LC separations. Further, such separations are performed on relatively large bore columns requiring flow rates of ≥5 mL/min, thus generating large volumes of mobile phase waste when used for large scale screening and increasing the difficulty in interfacing to mass spectrometry. Here, a droplet injector system was established that replaces the autosampler with a four-port, two-position valve equipped with a 20 nL internal loop interfaced to a syringe pump and a three-axis positioner to withdraw sample droplets from a well plate. In the system, sample and immiscible fluid are pulled alternately from a well plate into a capillary and then through the injection valve. The valve is actuated when sample fills the loop to allow sequential injection of samples at high throughput. Capillary LC columns with 300 μm inner diameter were used to reduce the consumption of mobile phase and sample. The system achieved 96 separations of 20 nL droplet samples containing 3 components in as little as 8.1 min with 5-s cycle time. This system was coupled to a mass spectrometer through an electrospray ionization source for high-throughput chemical reaction screening.

Abstract
Chiral aliphatic amine compounds exhibit a range of physiological activities, making them highly sought-after in the pharmaceutical industry and biological research. One notable obstacle in studying these compounds stems from the pronounced steric hindrance surrounding the nitrogen atom. This characteristic often leads to a weak affinity of acyclic secondary amines for molecular probes, making their chiral discrimination intricate. In response to this challenge, our research has unveiled a novel 19F-labeled probe adept at recognizing and distinguishing between enantiomers of these acyclic secondary amines. By strategically incorporating a single fluorine atom as the 19F label, we have managed to diminish the steric hindrance at the binding site. This alteration bolsters the probe's affinity toward bulkier analytes. As a testament to its effectiveness, we have successfully employed our probe in the chiral analysis of relevant pharmaceuticals, accurately determining their enantiocomposition.

Abstract
High-throughput screening (HTS) workflows are revolutionizing many fields, including drug discovery, reaction discovery and optimization, diagnostics, sensing, and enzyme engineering. Liquid chromatography (LC) is commonly deployed during HTS to reduce matrix effects, distinguish isomers, and preconcentrate prior to detection, but LC separation time often limits throughput. Although subsecond LC separations have been demonstrated, they are rarely utilized during HTS due to limitations associated with the speed of common autosamplers. In this work, these limits are overcome by utilizing droplet microfluidics for sample introduction. In the method, a train of samples segmented by air are continuously pumped into the inlet of an LC injection valve that is actuated once each sample fills the sample loop. Coupled with 2.1 mm diameter × 5 mm long columns packed with 2.7 μm superficially porous C18 particles operated at 5 mL/min, the injector enabled separation of 3 components at 1 s/sample and analysis of a 96-well plate in 1.6 min with <2% peak area relative standard deviation. Analyte-dependent carryover was minimized by including wash droplets composed of organic solvent in between sample droplets. High-throughput LC coupled with mass spectrometric detection using the segmented flow injector was applied to a screen of inhibitors of a cytochrome P450-catalyzed hydroxylation reaction. Measurements of the reaction substrate and product concentrations made using fast LC with the segmented flow injector correlated well with measurements made using a more conventional, 3 min LC method. These results demonstrate the potential for droplet microfluidics to be used for sample introduction during high-throughput LC analysis.

Abstract
The NMR technique is among the most powerful analytical methods for molecular structural elucidation, process monitoring, and mechanistic investigations; however, the direct analysis of complex real-world samples is often hampered by crowded NMR spectra that are difficult to interpret. The combination of fluorine chemistry and supramolecular interactions leads to a unique detection method named recognition-enabled chromatographic (REC) 19 F NMR, where interactions between analytes and 19 F-labeled probes are transduced into chromatogram-like 19 F NMR signals of discrete chemical shifts. In this account, we summarize our endeavor to develop novel 19 F-labeled probes tailored for separation-free multicomponent analysis. The strategies to achieve chiral discrimination, sensitivity enhancement, and automated analyte identification will be covered. The account will also provide a detailed discussion of the underlying principles for the design of molecular probes for REC 19 F NMR where appropriate.

Abstract
This work describes a comprehensive achiral × chiral two-dimensional liquid chromatography separation for enantioselective amino acid analysis coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry detection using data-independent acquisition. Flow splitting after the first and second dimension separation was utilized for volumetric flow reduction and for enabling a multi-detector approach (with ultraviolet, fluorescence, charged aerosol, and MS detection), respectively. Derivatization with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate provided a chromophore, a fluorophore, and an efficient mass tag for efficient ionization in positive electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Chiral columns often have limitations in terms of their chemoselectivity, which may be a problem when complex sample mixtures with structurally related compounds need to be separated. It can be alleviated by a reversed-phase×chiral two-dimensional-liquid chromatography setup, in which the first dimension provides the chemoselectivity and a chiral tandem column constituted of quinine-carbamate derived weak anion-exchanger and zwitterionic ion-exchanger in the second dimension separation of D- and L-amino acid enantiomers. The method was used to control the stereointegrity of the therapeutic peptide octreotide. After hydrolysis, all amino acid constituents were detected with the correct configuration and composition. Some options for flow splitting and integration of destructive detectors in the first dimension separation are outlined.

Abstract
Methods to rapidly detect and differentiate chiral N-heterocyclic compounds become increasingly important owing to the widespread application of N-heterocycles in drug discovery and materials science. We herein report a 19F NMR-based chemosensing approach for the prompt enantioanalysis of various N-heterocycles, where the dynamic binding between the analytes and a chiral 19F-labeled palladium probe create characteristic 19F NMR signals assignable to each enantiomer. The open binding site of the probe allows the effective recognition of bulky analytes that are otherwise difficult to detect. The chirality center distal to the binding site is found sufficient for the probe to discriminate the stereoconfiguration of the analyte. The utility of the method in the screening of reaction conditions for the asymmetric synthesis of lansoprazole is demonstrated.

Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental property of nature and an essential element of the life process. As the biological activities, metabolic pathways, and toxicity of individual enantiomers are often varied, methods to rapidly and accurately discriminate chiral analytes are in great demand. Here, we report a 19F-labeled gallium-based probe for the enantiodifferentiation of chiral monoamines, diamines, amino alcohols, amino acids, and N-heterocycles. A comparison between the new gallium-based probe and the previously developed aluminum aminotrisphenolate complex was performed. It was revealed that the gallium metal center displays a much stronger affinity toward the amino group compared to the hydroxy group, thereby producing simplified 19F NMR signals for analytes with multiple Lewis basic sites. For sterically bulky analyte, the replacement of the aluminum with gallium is envisioned to expand the binding pocket of the probe to allow different binding models to interconvert rapidly. This feature is important to the creation of easily interpretable 19F signals corresponding to each enantiomer. It is further demonstrated that the gallium-based probe is suitable for the assessment of the enantiomeric excess values of the crude products obtained in asymmetric reactions without the need for purification.

Abstract
This work presents an advanced analytical platform for untargeted enantioselective amino acid analysis (eAAA) by comprehensive achiral × chiral 2D-LC hyphenated to ESI-QTOF-MS/MS utilizing data-independent SWATH (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra) technology. The methodology involves N-terminal pre-column derivatization with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC; AccQ) as retention, selectivity, and MS tag, supporting retention and UV detection in RPLC (1D), chiral recognition, and thus enantioselectivity by the core-shell tandem column composed of a quinine carbamate weak anion exchanger (QN-AX) and a zwitterionic chiral ion-exchanger (ZWIX(+)) (2D) as well as the ionization efficiency during positive electrospray ionization due to a high proton affinity of the AQC label. Furthermore, the urea-type MS tag gives rise to the generation of AQC-tag characteristic signature fragments in MS2. The latter allows the chemoselective mass spectrometric filtering of targeted and untargeted N-derivatized amino acids or related labeled species. The chiral core-shell tandem column provides a complete enantioselective amino acid profile of all proteinogenic amino acids within 1 min, with full baseline separation of all enantiomers, but without resolution of isomeric Ile/allo-Ile (aIle)/Leu, which can be resolved by RPLC. The entire LC × LC separation occurs within a total run time of 60 min (1D), with the chiral 2D operated in gradient elution mode and a cycle time of 60 s. A strategy to mine the 2D-LC-SWATH data is presented and demonstrated for the qualitative eAAA of two peptide hydrolysate samples of therapeutic peptides containing common and uncommon as well as primary and secondary amino acids. Absolute configuration assignment of amino acids using template matching for all proteinogenic amino acids was made feasible due to method robustness and the inclusion of an isotopically labeled L-[U-13C15N]-AA standard. The quantification performance of this LC × LC-MS/MS assay was also evaluated. Accuracies were acceptable for the majority of AAs enabling AA composition determination in peptide hydrolysates simultaneously with configuration assignment, as exemplified by oxytocin. This methodology represents a step toward truly untargeted 2D enantioselective amino acid analysis and metabolomics.

Abstract
Efforts to model and simulate various aspects of liquid chromatography (LC) separations (e.g., retention, selectivity, peak capacity, injection breakthrough) depend on experimental retention measurements to use as the basis for the models and simulations. Often these modeling and simulation efforts are limited by datasets that are too small because of the cost (time and money) associated with making the measurements. Other groups have demonstrated improvements in throughput of LC separations by focusing on "overhead" associated with the instrument itself - for example, between-analysis software processing time, and autosampler motions. In this paper we explore the possibility of using columns with small volumes (i.e., 5 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) compared to conventional columns (e.g., 100 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) that are typically used for retention measurements. We find that isocratic retention factors calculated for columns with these dimensions are different by about 20%; we attribute this difference - which we interpret as an error in measurements based on data from the 5 mm column - to extra-column volume associated with inlet and outlet frits. Since retention factor is a thermodynamic property of the mobile/stationary phase system under study, it should be independent of the dimensions of the column that is used for the measurement. We propose using ratios of retention factors (i.e., selectivities) to translate retention measurements between columns of different dimensions, so that measurements made using small columns can be used to make predictions for separations that involve conventional columns. We find that this approach reduces the difference in retention factors (5 mm compared to 100 mm columns) from an average of 18% to an average absolute difference of 1.7% (all errors less than 8%). This approach will significantly increase the rate at which high quality retention data can be collected to thousands of measurements per instrument per day, which in turn will likely have a profound impact on the quality of models and simulations that can be developed for many aspects of LC separations.

Abstract
High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) workflows are efficient means of surveying a broad array of chiral catalysts in the development of catalytic asymmetric reactions. However, use of traditional HPLC-UV/vis methodology to determine enantiomeric excess (ee) from the resulting reactions is often hampered by co-elution of other reaction components, resulting in erroneous ee determination when crude samples are used, and ultimately requiring product isolation prior to ee analysis. In this study, using four published reactions selected as model systems, we demonstrate that the use of LC-MS, SFC-MS, and selected ion monitoring (SIM) mass chromatography provides a highly accurate means to determine ee of products in crude reaction samples using commonplace, low-cost MS detectors. By using ion selection, co-eluting signals can be deconvoluted to provide accurate integrations of the target analytes. We also show that this method is effective for samples lacking UV/vis chromophores, making it ideal for HTE workflows in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Malignant tumors will become vulnerable if their uncontrolled biosynthesis and energy consumption engaged in metabolic reprogramming can be cut off. Here, we report finding a glycolytic inhibitor targeting glioblastoma with graphite dots-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry as an integrated drug screening and pharmacokinetic platform (GLMSD). We have performed high-throughput virtual screening to narrow an initial library of 240,000 compounds down to the docking of 40 compounds and identified five previously unknown chemical scaffolds as promising hexokinase-2 inhibitors. The best inhibitor (Compd 27) can regulate the reprogrammed metabolic pathway in U87 glioma cells (median inhibitory concentration ~ 11.3 μM) for tumor suppression. Highly effective therapy against glioblastoma has been demonstrated in both subcutaneous and orthotopic brain tumors by synergizing Compd 27 and temozolomide. Our glycolytic inhibitor discovery can inspire personalized medicine targeting reprogrammed metabolisms of malignant tumors. GLMSD enables large, high-quality data for next-generation artificial intelligence-aided drug development.

Abstract
Enantioselective chromatography has been the preferred technique for the determination of enantiomeric excess across academia and industry. Although sequential multicolumn enantioselective supercritical fluid chromatography screenings are widespread, access to automated ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) platforms using state-of-the-art small particle size chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is an underdeveloped area. Herein, we introduce a multicolumn UHPLC screening workflow capable of combining 14 columns (packed with sub-2 μm fully porous and sub-3 μm superficially porous particles) with nine mobile phase eluent choices. This automated setup operates under a vast selection of reversed-phase liquid chromatography, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, polar-organic mode, and polar-ionic mode conditions with minimal manual intervention and high success rate. Examples of highly efficient enantioseparations are illustrated from the integration of chiral screening conditions and computer-assisted modeling. Furthermore, we describe the nuances of in silico method development for chiral separations via second-degree polynomial regression fit using LC simulator (ACD/Labs) software. The retention models were found to be very accurate for chiral resolution of single and multicomponent mixtures of enantiomeric species across different types of CSPs, with differences between experimental and simulated retention times of less than 0.5%. Finally, we illustrate how this approach lays the foundation for a streamlined development of ultrafast enantioseparations applied to high-throughput enantiopurity analysis and its use in the second dimension of two-dimensional liquid chromatography experiments.

Abstract
Twin-column recycling chromatography with a solvent gradient (TCRC-SG) was investigated with the equilibrium-dispersive chromatography model. The solvent gradient caused by constant addition of a modifier between the two columns created a band compression effect to counterbalance band broadening, so that the target component band neither broadened nor shrunk. Meanwhile, band compression accelerated the separation but prevented excessive separation. Increasing the volume fraction of weak solvent in the modifier and reducing the modifier flowrate enhanced band compression and improved the separation. The effect of column efficiency (number of theoretical plates: 500-1500) on the separation was not significant. According to the separation behavior, a simple operation scheme is proposed to automatically control column switching without needing to determine the adsorption isotherm and designing operating conditions in advance. In comparison with simulated moving bed, TCRC-SG had a higher feed throughput, but consumed more solvent. The results showed that TCRC-SG is favorable for preparative separation.

Abstract
The importance of chirality in drug development is unquestionable, with chiral liquid chromatography (LC) being the most adequate technique for its analysis. Among the various types of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for LC, brush-type CSPs provide the base for interaction analysis of CSPs and enantiomers, which provide valuable results that can be applied to interaction studies of other CSP types. In order to analyze the influence of aromatic interactions in chiral recognition, we designed a set of ten new brush-type CSPs based on (S)-N-(1-aryl-propyl)-3,5-dinitrobenzamides which differ in the aromatic unit directly linked to the chiral center. Thirty diverse racemates, including several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 3-hydroxybenzodiazepine drugs, were used to evaluate the prepared CSPs. Chromatographic analysis showed that the three new CSPs separate enantiomers of a wide range of compounds and their chromatographic behavior is comparable to the most versatile brush-type CSP—Whelk-O1. The critical role of the nonbonding interactions in positioning of the analyte (naproxen) in the cleft of CSP-6, as well as the analysis of interactions that make enantioseparation possible, were elucidated using computational methods. Furthermore, the influence of acetic acid as a mobile phase additive, on this enantiorecognition process was corroborated by calculations.

Abstract
In this study our preliminary attempt for obtaining fast and highly efficient separations of enantiomers in high-performance liquid chromatography with slightly modified state-of-the-art commercial instrumentation is described. In order to reach this goal after careful selection of chiral analytes, the preparation of chiral stationary phase (CSP), mobile phase composition and column dimensions were optimized. The concept of segmented chiral-achiral column was introduced. As the result of these optimizations baseline separation of enantiomers was achieved with the analysis time between 1-2 s.

Abstract
Understanding the practical limitations of chemical reactions is critically important for efficiently planning the synthesis of compounds in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical research and development. However, literature reports of the scope of new reactions are often cursory and biased toward successful results, severely limiting the ability to predict reaction outcomes for untested substrates. We herein illustrate strategies for carrying out large-scale surveys of chemical reactivity by using a material-sparing nanomole-scale automated synthesis platform with greatly expanded synthetic scope combined with ultrahigh-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Abstract
The virtue of chemical sensors is speed and analyte specificity. The response time to generate an analytical signal typically varies from ∼1 to 20 s, and they are generally limited to a single analyte. Chemical sensors are significantly affected by multiple interferents, matrix effects, temperature, and can vary widely in sensitivity depending on the sensor format. Separation-based analyses remove matrix effects and interferents and are compatible with multiple analytes. However, the speed of such analyses has not been commensurate with traditional sensors until now. Beds of very small size with optimal geometry, containing core-shell particles of judicious immobilized selectors, can be used in an ultrahigh-flow regime, thereby providing subsecond separations of up to 10 analytes. Short polyether ether ketone lined stainless steel columns of various geometries were evaluated to determine the optimal bed geometry for subsecond analysis. Coupling these approaches provides subsecond-based detection and quantitation of multiple chiral and achiral species, including nucleotides, plant hormones, acids, amino acid derivatives, and sedatives among a variety of other compounds. The subsecond separations were reproducible with 0.9% RSD on retention times and showed consistent performance with 0.9% RSD on reduced plate height in van Deemter curves. A new powerful signal processing algorithm is proposed that can further enhance separation outputs and optical spectra without altering band areas on more complex separations such as 10 peaks under a second.

Abstract
The ever-increasing need for enantiomerically pure chiral compounds has greatly expanded the number of enantioselective separation methods available for the precise and accurate measurements of the enantiomeric purity. The introduction of chiral stationary phases for liquid chromatography in the last decades has revolutionized the routine methods to determine enantiomeric purity of chiral drugs, agrochemicals, fragrances, and in general of organic and organometallic compounds. In recent years, additional efforts have been placed on faster, enantioselective analytical methods capable to fulfill the high throughput requirements of modern screening procedures. Efforts in this field, capitalizing on improved chromatographic particle technology and dedicated instrumentation, have led to highly efficient separations that are routinely completed on the seconds time scale. An overview of the recent achievements in the field of ultra-high-resolution chromatography on column packed with chiral stationary phases, both based on sub-2 μm fully porous and sub-3 μm superficially porous particles, will be given, with an emphasis on very recent studies on ultrafast chiral separations.

Macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral selectors bonded to core-shell particles enables enantiopurity analysis of the entire verubecestat synthetic route. J Chromatogr A 2018; 1539:87-92. [PMID: 29397980 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2018.01.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2017] [Revised: 01/18/2018] [Accepted: 01/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Verubecestat is an inhibitor of β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Synthetic route development involves diastereoselective transformations with a need for enantiomeric excess (ee) determination of each intermediate and final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The analytical technical package of validated methods relies on enantioselective SFC and RPLC separations using multiple 3 and 5 μm coated polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and mobile phases combinations. Evaluation of recently developed chiral columns revealed a single chiral selector (Teicoplanin) bonded to 2.7 μm core-shell particles using H3PO4 in H2O/ACN and triethylammonium acetate: methanol based eluents at different isocratic compositions allowed good enatioseparation of all verubecestat intermediates. EE determination of verubecestat is easily performed on NicoShell, another macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral selector bonded to 2.7 μm superficially porous particles. This approach enables fast and reliable enantiopurity analysis of the entire verubecestat synthetic route using only two chiral columns and mobile phases on a conventional HPLC system, simplifying technical package preparation, method validation and transfer to manufacturing facilities.
