Abstract
Cannabidiol (CBD) has garnered significant attention for its neuroprotective properties, and research on its therapeutic effects has increased dramatically in recent years. However, the systematic purification of CBD through scalable processes has remained bottleneck due to the structural similarities of the cannabinoids. Although preparative chromatography is considered as a potential solution, it is usually time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, the development of scalable strategy via fast and accurate optimization approach is crucial. The present study aimed to develop a sequential process for the scalable purification of CBD through an eco-friendly ethanolic extraction using ultrasonic assisted extraction, decarboxylation of cannabidiolic acid optimized by response surface methodology, followed by the development of off-line two-dimensional semi-preparative chromatography, boosted with stacked injection overloading. In the first dimension, a column packed with macroporous resin allows to enrich the target substance and then, the behavior of resin column for scale-up procedure were predicted and optimized by developed mathematical model. A C18 column was used in the second dimension. The CBD purity and recovery obtained were 94.3 and 82.1 %, respectively. A robust and reliable method was employed for CBD enrichment/purification, which can be generalized to other bioactive compounds in complex matrices.

Abstract
Mitotane is a chiral drug used to treat adrenocortical carcinoma, being metabolized to the o,p'-dichlorodiphenyl acetic acid (o,p'-DDA), also a chiral compound. Despite of its therapeutic significance, the overall ratios and enantiomers have not been known. In this study, we analyzed the enantiomers of mitotane and o,p'-DDA in the plasma of patients by a newly developed chiral-phase method employed in two-dimensional chromatography. Important differences were observed in the ratio of (S)/(R)-mitotane, which varied substantially from 1:1.2 to 1:10 whereas the (S)/(R)-o,p'-DDA ratio was relatively conserved, at approximately 2:1. These findings provide evidence for the enantioselective metabolism and provide a method for further analyses of mitotane and metabolites, which can explain the variation in the therapeutic response.

Abstract
Various everyday areas such as agriculture, wood industry, and wastewater treatment yield residual biowastes in large amounts that can be utilised for the purpose of sustainability and circular economy. Depending on the type of biowaste, they can be used to extract valuable chemicals or converted into alternative fuels. However, for efficient valorisation, these processes need to be monitored, for which thorough chemical characterisation can be highly beneficial. For this aim, two-dimensional (2D) chromatography can be favourable, as it has a higher peak capacity and sensitivity than one-dimensional (1D) chromatography. Therefore, here we review the studies published since 2010 involving gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) as one of the dimensions. For the first time, we present the 2D chromatographic characterisation of various biowastes valorised for different purposes (chemical, fuels), together with future prospects and challenges. The aspects related to the 2D chromatographic analysis of polar, poorly volatile, and thermally unstable compounds are highlighted. In addition, it is demonstrated how different 2D setups can be applied for monitoring the biowaste conversion processes.

Abstract
Recently, the incidence of hyperuricemia increased with patient rejuvenation, searching for new xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitors from natural products becomes important. In our previous work, a flavonoid extract of saffron floral bio-residues (SFB) was found to alleviate hyperuricemia via inhibiting XOD. In this study, an integrated approach combining two-dimensional liquid chromatography, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was developed to online screen and character the potential XOD inhibitors from SFB. The two-dimensional liquid chromatography consisted of affinity chromatography and reverse phase chromatography (2D-AR), in which an XOD column, an inactive XOD column, and a control column were used in the first dimensional liquid chromatography to avoid phenomena of "false positive" and "missing screen of compounds with weak affinity to XOD" that often occur in the screening process, and a C18 column was used in the second dimensional liquid chromatography to separate the mixed XOD binders. Four flavonoid glycosides, i.e., quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (QS), kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside (KS), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (KR), and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (KG), were thus successfully screened and identified from SFB extract by the 2D-AR method. The affinity of QS, KS, KR, KG, kaempferol (aglycone of KS, KR and KG), and quercetin (aglycone of QS) binding to XOD was investigated using SPR method, with KD ranged from 4.8 μM to 47.6 μM. The inhibitor constant (KI) of KS, KR, KG, quercetin and kaempferol were 4.92 mM, 1.11 mM, 0.294 mM, 4.93 μM and 3.27 μM, respectively, determined using ITC method. Finally, the anti-XOD activities of KS, the most abundant flavonoid in SFB extract, and kaempferol in hyperuricemia mice were verified, which suggested that the multi-hyphenated approach established herein can be applied for screen and character the XOD inhibitors in natural products.

Abstract
With the increasing numbers of nucleic acid-based pharmaceuticals like antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) entering the market, research facilities, pharmaceutical industries and also regulatory authorities have been looking for efficient analytical methods for these synthetic oligonucleotides (ON). Besides of conventional one-dimensional (1D) reversed-phase liquid chromatography with or without ion-pairing (IP-RP-LC, RP-LC), hydrophilic liquid chromatography (HILIC) and mixed-mode chromatography (MMC), two-dimensional (2D) approaches combining two orthogonal chromatographic techniques also become more relevant due to the high structural complexity of oligonucleotides. Recently, we tested a polybutylene terephthalate(PBT)-based stationary phase under ion-pairing free RP mode for the liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) analysis of siRNA (Patisiran). In this study, retention profile and chromatographic orthogonality, respectively, were compared to other LC-modes like HILIC, IP-RPLC, another ion-pair free cholesterol-bonded RPLC and MMC considering their normalized retention times. Finally, because of higher orthogonality, the ion-pairing free PBT-bonded RPLC as first dimension (1D) was hyphenated with HILIC in the second dimension (2D) in a selective comprehensive 2D-LC setup leading to an enhanced resolution for peak purity evaluation of the main ON entities.

Abstract
Comprehensive characterization of the lipidome remains a challenge requiring development of new analytical approaches to expand lipid coverage in complex samples. In this work, offline two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was investigated for lipidomics from human plasma. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography was implemented in the first dimension to fractionate lipid classes. Nine fractions were collected and subjected to a second-dimension separation utilizing 50 cm capillary columns packed with 1.7 µm C18 particles operated on custom-built instrumentation at 35 kpsi. Online coupling with time-of-flight mass spectrometry allowed putative lipid identification from precursor-mass based library searching. The method had good orthogonality (fractional coverage of ∼40%), achieved a peak capacity of approximately 1900 in 600 min, and detected over 1000 lipids from a 5 µL injection of a human plasma extract while consuming less than 3 mL of solvent. The results demonstrate the expected gains in peak capacity when employing long columns and two-dimensional separations and illustrate practical approaches for improving lipidome coverage from complex biological samples.

Abstract
Anti-doping analysis requires an exceptional level of accuracy and precision given the stakes that are at play. Current methods rely on the application of chromatographic techniques linked with mass spectrometry to provide this. However, despite the effectiveness of these techniques in achieving good selectivity and specificity, some issues still exist. In order to reach the minimum required performance level as set by WADA, labs commonly use selective monitoring by quadrupole mass spectrometry. This can be potentially fooled through the use of masking agents or by moving the peaks, as often only a small portion of the spectrum is used for analysis. Further issues exist in the inability to detect new or modified compounds, or to reanalyse samples/spectra. One technique that could overcome these problems is that of comprehensive 2D chromatography. Here a second separation column is employed to generate greater separative power. Compared to conventional separation, GCxGC allows for a greater peak capacity (i.e., number of peaks that can be resolved within a given time) and greater separation of coeluting compounds, which makes the technique promising for the complex task required in anti-doping. When combined with Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry this technique demonstrates vast potential allowing for full mass range datasets to be obtained for retroactive analysis. Similarly, LCxLC provides improvements in resolving power compared to its 1D counterpart and can be used both online as part of the analysis or offline solely as a purification step. In this review we summarise the work in this field so far, how comprehensive chromatography has been applied to anti-doping studies, and discuss the future application for this technique.

Abstract
The unambiguous identification of unknown compounds is of utmost importance in the field of metabolomics. However, current identification workflows often suffer from error-sensitive methodologies, which may lead to incorrect structure annotations of small molecules. Therefore, we have developed a comprehensive identification workflow including two highly complementary techniques, i.e. liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and used it to identify five taste-related retention time and m/z features in soy sauce. An off-line directed two-dimensional separation was performed in order to purify the features prior to the identification. Fractions collected during the first dimension separation (reversed phase low pH) were evaluated for the presence of remaining impurities next to the features of interest. Based on the separation between the feature and impurities, the most orthogonal second dimension chromatography (hydrophilic interaction chromatography or reversed phase high pH) was selected for further purification. Unknown compounds down to tens of micromolar concentrations were tentatively annotated by MS and structurally confirmed by MS and NMR. The mass (0.4-4.2 μg) and purity of the isolated compounds were sufficient for the acquisition of one and two-dimensional NMR spectra. The use of a directed two-dimensional chromatography allowed for a fractionation that was tailored to each feature and remaining impurities. This makes the fractionation more widely applicable to different sample matrices than one-dimensional or fixed two-dimensional chromatography. Five proline-based 2,5-diketopiperazines were successfully identified in soy sauce. These cyclic dipeptides might contribute to taste by giving a bitter flavour or indirectly enhancing umami flavour.

Abstract
The profile of charge variants represents an important critical quality attribute of protein-based biopharmaceuticals, in particular of monoclonal antibodies, and must therefore becontrolled. In this work, 2D-LC methods for charge variant analysis were developed using a strong cation-exchange chromatography (SCX) as first dimension (1D) separation. Non-porous SCX (3 µm) particle columns and different mobile phases were evaluated using a test mixture of some standard proteins of different size and pI (comprising myoglobin, bovine serum albumin, cytochrome c, lysozyme and β-lactoglobulin) and two monoclonal IgG1 antibodies (NIST mAb and Secukinumab). The most promising 1D eluent for SCX was a salt-mediated pH-gradient system using a ternary mobile phase system with 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid, 1,3-diamino-2-propanol and sodium chloride. For the second dimension (2D), a desalting reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) was chosen to enable the hyphenation of the charge variant separation with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. While for intact mAbs the 2D just served for desalting without additional selectivity, the 2D contributed some orthogonal selectivity for the mAb fragment separation. Various core-shell and monolithic columns were tested and variables such as gradient time and flow rate systematically optimized. Unexpectedly, a C4 400 Å column (3.4 µm diameter with 0.2 µm porous shell) provided higher peak capacities compared to the same 1000 Å column (2.7 µm diameter with 0.5 µm porous shell). A thinner shell appeared to be more advantageous than wider pores under high flow regime. An ultra-fast RP-LC method with a run time of one minute was developed using trifluoroacetic acid which was later replaced by formic acid as additive for better MS compatibility. The successful hyphenation of the two orthogonal separation modes, SCX and RP-LC, could be demonstrated in the multiple heart-cutting and the full comprehensive mode. MS analysis using a high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight instrument enabled to identify different glycoforms and some major charge variants of the antibody at the intact protein level as well as on the subunit level (Fc/2, Lc, Fd') in a middle-up approach by 2D-LC-ESI-MS analysis.

Abstract
Lignin depolymerisation produces a large variety of low molecular weight phenolic compounds that can be upgraded to value-added chemicals. Detailed analysis of these complex depolymerisation mixtures is, however, hampered by the lack of resolving power of traditional analysis techniques. In this study, a novel online comprehensive two-dimensional reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) × supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) method with trapping column interface was developed for the separation of phenolic compounds in depolymerised lignin samples. The trapping capacities of different trapping columns were evaluated. The influence of large volume water-containing injection on SFC performance was studied. The relation between peak capacity and first dimension flow rate and gradient was investigated. The optimized method was applied for the analysis of a depolymerised lignin sample. The RPLC × SFC system exhibited high degree of orthogonality. Compared with traditional loop based interface, trapping column interface can significantly shorten the analysis time and offer higher detectability, with the disadvantage of more severe undersampling in the first dimension.

Abstract
We applied an extended charge-based fractional diagonal chromatography (ChaFRADIC) workflow to analyze the N-terminal proteome of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Using iTRAQ protein labeling and a multi-enzyme digestion approach including trypsin, GluC, and subtilisin, a total of 200 μg per enzyme, and measuring only one third of each ChaFRADIC-enriched fraction by LC-MS, we quantified a total of 2791 unique N-terminal peptides corresponding to 2249 different unique N-termini from 1270 Arabidopsis proteins. Our data indicate the power, reproducibility, and sensitivity of the applied strategy that might be applicable to quantify proteolytic events from as little as 20 μg of protein per condition across up to eight different samples. Furthermore, our data clearly reflect the methionine excision dogma as well as the N-end rule degradation pathway (NERP) discriminating into a stabilizing or destabilizing function of N-terminal amino acid residues. We found bona fide NERP destabilizing residues underrepresented, and the list of neo N-termini from wild type samples may represent a helpful resource during the evaluation of NERP substrate candidates. All MS data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD001855 (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD001855).

Abstract
In two-dimensional HPLC (2D-HPLC) "heart-cut" applications, two columns are connected in series via a switching valve and volume fractions from the "primary" column are re-injected on the "secondary" column. The heart-cut 2D-HPLC system here described was implemented by connecting a reversed-phase (RP) column (first dimension) to a chiral column (second dimension) containing a quinidine-based chiral stationary phase. The system was used to evaluate the change in the enantiomeric excess value of dansylated (Dns) amino acids (AAs) in milk samples from two cows with different "California Mastitis Test" scores: negative test for sample 1, positive for sample 2. Apart from the co-elution of Dns-Arg/Dns-Gly and the reduced chemoselectivity for Dns-Leu/Dns-allo-Ile, the optimized achiral RP method distinguished the remaining standard Dns-AAs. Dns-AAs were identified in the chromatograms of the real samples, and in higher concentration Dns-Ala, Dns-Arg, Dns-Asp, Dns-Glu, Dns-Ile, Dns-Leu, Dns-Phe and Dns-Val. Except Dns-Arg, the chiral column enabled the RP enantioseparation of all the other compounds (α and RS values up to 1.65 and 8.63, respectively, for Dns-Phe). In sample 2, the amounts of Dns-d-AAs were rather elevated, in particular for Dns-Ala and Dns-Asp. Instead, for sample 1, D-isomers were detected for Dns-Ala, Dns-Glu and Dns-Leu. The proposed 2D-HPLC method could be useful for the identification of clinical mastitis difficult to be diagnosed. Moreover, the eventual progressive reduction of D-AAs levels with the degree of sub-clinical mastitis could allow the building of mathematical models to use for the diagnosis of early stages of mastitis.

Abstract
Maltol, ethyl maltol, vanillin, and ethyl vanillin are important food additives as flavor enhancers. To quantify the four additives in milk powder, a novel 2D liquid chromatographic (2DLC) method was developed in this article. In such a 2DLC system, the target fractions eluted from the first dimensional column (C4) are stored onto the trapping column (C8) for subsequent analysis; after that, they were switched into the second dimensional column (C18) by a two-position six-port switching valve. A one-step sample preparation method was used prior to 2DLC chromatographic analysis, which was easy and convenient. After optimization of all experimental parameters, the new method was validated in terms of linearity, LODs, and LOQs, intra- and interday precision, and accuracy. A conventional single-dimensional liquid chromatographic method was also proposed in this work for comparison. In order to evaluate the applicability of the new 2DLC method, five brands of commercial milk powder samples (n = 8) were analyzed. Vanillin and ethyl vanillin were detected in two samples, respectively. It is showed that the 2DLC method is effective in quality control programs of milk powder products.

Abstract
Mathematical deconvolution methods can separate co-eluting peaks in samples for which (chromatographic) separation fail. However, these methods often heavily rely on manual user-input and interpretation. This is not only time-consuming but also error-prone and automation is needed if such methods are to be applied in a routine manner. One major hurdle when automating deconvolution methods is the selection of the correct number of components used for building the model. We propose a new method for the automatic determination of the optimum number of components when applying multivariate curve resolution (MCR) to comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS) data. It is based on a two-fold cross-validation scheme. The obtained overall cross-validation error decreases when adding components and increases again once over-fitting of the data starts to occur. The turning point indicates that the optimum number of components has been reached. Overall, the method is at least as good as and sometimes superior to the inspection of the eigenvalues when performing singular-value decomposition. However, its strong point is that it can be fully automated and it is thus more efficient and less prone to subjective interpretation. The developed method has been applied to two different-sized regions in a GC×GC-MS chromatogram. In both regions, the cross-validation scheme resulted in selecting the correct number of components for applying MCR. The pure concentration and mass spectral profiles obtained can then be used for identification and/or quantification of the compounds. While the method has been developed for applying MCR to GC×GC-MS data, a transfer to other deconvolution methods and other analytical systems should only require minor modifications.
