Temperature-responsive comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry for the elucidation of the oxidative degradation processes of chemicals of environmental concern. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1719:464765. [PMID: 38417374 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464765] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
This study explores the possibilities offered by temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) based comprehensive 2-dimensional liquid chromatography in combination with reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) for the analysis of degradation products formed upon oxidative treatment of persistent organic pollutants, in this case exemplified through carbamazepine (CBZ). The TRLC×RPLC combination offers the possibility to overcome peak overlap and incomplete separation encountered in 1D approaches, while the transfer of the purely aqueous mobile phase leads to refocusing of all analytes on the second dimension column. Consequently, this allows for about method-development free and hence, easier LC×LC. The study focuses on the oxidative degradation of CBZ, a compound of environmental concern due to its persistence in water bodies. The TRLC×RPLC combination effectively separates and identifies CBZ and its degradation products, while offering improved selectivity over the individual TRLC or RPLC separations. This allows gathering more understanding of the degradation cascade and allows real-time monitoring of the appearance and disappearance of various degradation products. The compatibility with high-resolution mass spectrometry is last shown, enabling identification of 21 CBZ-related products, nine of which were not previously reported in CBZ degradation studies. The approach's simplicity, optimization-free aspects, and ease of use make it a promising tool for the analysis of degradation pathways in environmental contaminants.

Graft copolymerization of anion and cation onto silica and application in mixed-mode of reversed phase/ hydrophilic interaction/ ion exchange chromatography. Talanta 2024; 266:125055. [PMID: 37567120 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125055] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have turned out to be one of the best choices to fabricate mixed-mode stationary phases, this work aimed to investigate the possibility and merit of copolymerizing cations and anions as modifications. We prepared two ILs stationary phases, one of which was constructed by copolymerizing cation and anion (p-vinylbenzene sulfonate). Two stationary phases were characterized and comprehensively evaluated. The stationary phases showed great repeatability (RSD <0.87%) and high efficiency (up to 83,810 plate/m). Both stationary phases can operate under a mixed mode of reversed phase/hydrophilic interaction/ion exchange chromatography (RPLC/HILIC/IEC). Chromatographic evaluation results revealed that copolymerized anions endow stationary phase superior selectivity under RPLC and HILIC modes, so hydrophobic terphenyls isomer (under ACN/H2O = 35/65) and hydrophilic nucleotides and bases (under ACN/100 mM NH4FA buffer = 90/10) are better separated. Organic and inorganic anions showed entirely different retention behaviors on two stationary phases, and the mechanism was investigated by linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) and thermodynamic analysis. This work proved that copolymerizing cations and anions of ILs could be a promising method to prepare stationary phases, the retention property and mechanism need further research.

On-column modification for the creation of temperature-responsive stationary phases. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1283:341961. [PMID: 37977785 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341961] [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: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) offers an alternative for retention and selectivity optimisation in HPLC. This approach thereby exploits temperature gradients on stimuli-responsive stationary phases and forfeits the necessity for solvent gradients, allowing analyses to be performed using aqueous mobile phases. Consequently, it can be employed as a green alternative to reversed-phase separations. However, current production to obtain temperature-responsive columns inherently require dedicated column packing processes with polymer-modified particles. To facilitate the development of temperature-responsive phases, a flow-through modification procedure was developed allowing on-column modification of aminopropyl silica columns. Three columns were manufactured using this novel flow-through approach, which achieved identical column efficiencies compared to existing TRLC column. Demonstrating the possibility of bypassing the dedicated packing processes without losing efficiency. Additionally, it was observed that flow-through produced columns yielded higher retention at elevated temperatures despite their reduced carbon load. Further investigation of the carbon load revealed the presence of stationary phase gradients, whose influence was studied via novel developed retention experiments, which revealed a negligible change reduction in retention upon a change of polymer modification from 19.8% to 14.5%. However, further decrease from 14.5% to 12.3% resulted in a larger change. Interestingly, a further enhancement in apparent plate numbers was observed when operating the column under a reversed flow, yielding an increasing stationary phase gradient. This on-column modification procedure demonstrates the potential for modification of existing (commercial) packed columns to achieve temperature-responsive phases without loss of efficiency or retention. Thus, not only facilitating accessibility to temperature-responsive phases, but also aiding with development of further generations of temperature-responsive phases by removing the need for packing optimisation. Additionally, a novel experiment was set up to easily investigate the effect of inhomogeneous stationary phases retention.

Abstract
Chiral resolution of solutes occurring in mixtures of unrelated species is of relevance in life sciences and in pharmaceutical analysis. While this is conceptually achievable by comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC), few approaches exist whereby the second dimension comprises the chiral separation. The latter is preferable in combination with a conventional reversed phase type of separation in the first dimension as it offers an extension of a conventional achiral analysis. The implementation of such rapid chiral analyses in the second dimension was, thus far, limited by the challenging transfer of the first dimension mobile phase to the second dimension while still achieving chiral separation. In this study, the combination of temperature-responsive and reversed-phase chiral liquid chromatography is assessed in terms of enantioselective separation of a broad range of pharmaceutical compounds. Applying temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) in the first dimension allows for analyses to be performed under purely aqueous conditions, which then allows for complete and more generic refocusing of (organic) solutes prior to the second dimension. This offers an enhanced ability to employ fast and broad compositional gradients over the chiral dimension, which broadens the applicability of the technique. In the proposed platform, seven chiral columns (superficially porous and fully porous columns (comprising both polysaccharide and macrocyclic antibiotic phases)) and four mobile phase gradients were screened on a pharmaceutical test mixture. The platform was shown to be able to offer the necessary resolving power for the molecules at hand and offers a new approach for chiral screening of mixtures of unrelated compounds.

Abstract
The synthesis of poly(N-allyl acrylamide) (PNAllAm) as a platform for the preparation of functional hydrogels is described. The PNAllAm was synthesized via organocatalyzed amidation of poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) with allylamine and characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and turbidimetry, which allowed an estimation of the lower critical solution temperature of ∼26 °C in water. The PNAllAm was then used to make functional hydrogels via photoinitiated thiol-ene chemistry, where dithiothreitol (DTT) was used to cross-link the polymer chains. In addition, mercaptoethanol (ME) was added as a functional thiol to modulate the hydrogel properties. A decrease of the volume-phase transition temperature of the resulting hydrogels was observed with increasing ME content. Altogether this work introduces a straightforward way for the preparation of PNAllAm from PMA and demonstrates its value as a reactive polymer platform for the generation of functional hydrogels.

Abstract
Temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) is an emerging green high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) mode allowing reversed phase-type separations while necessitating only water as the mobile phase. The columns therein are typically packed with silica particles to which stimuli-responsive polymers are anchored. In hydrophobic interaction TRLC, such polymers depict a loss of water solubility when increasing the temperature above a characteristic conversion temperature, causing large changes in retention over quite narrow and mild temperature ranges (~5–55 °C). TRLC circumvents the concerns about analyte or column degradation that can occur when implementing high temperatures (>80 °C) on conventional reversed- phase columns. It allows for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using only water often spiked with the additives typically used in reversed-phase LC. Therefore, this separation mode allows for greener, cheaper, and isocratic analyses under non-denaturing conditions. The absence of compositional solvent gradients also allows for the exploitation of temperature gradients in combination with refractive index detection. Purely aqueous hydrophobic interaction TRLC is mostly applicable for solutes depicting a 1 < LogP < 5, yet these ranges can be expanded through implementation of combined aqueous or organic mobiles phases, while preserving the temperature-responsive effects. In this first TRLC installment, our recent developments, new possibilities, and current limitations of the use of 1-D TRLC are discussed, while the column performance is described with respect to the fundamentals of HPLC.

Abstract
Chromatography is one of the most important separation techniques in analytical chemistry. In which, the separation materials are the core for good separation results. Poly (amide-amine) dendrimers with regular three-dimensional structure, abundant terminal groups, controllable molecule chains, and unique cavities appear to have a positive impact on chromatographic separation materials. In the past decades, poly (amide-amine) grafted adsorbents and stationary phases have presented high grafting efficiency, controllable surface structure, good dispersion, and wide practical applications. In this review, the prepared poly (amide-amine) functionalized separation materials and their applications are systematically summarized. Functions, significance, structure-actvity relationships and benefits of poly (amide-amine) dendrimers in the proposed separation materials are discussed in detail. And we hope to provide a useful reference for the future development of chromatographic separation materials and inspire new discoveries in the study of poly (amide-amine) functionalized materials.

Thermoresponsive supramolecular assemblies have been extensively explored in diverse formats, from injectable hydrogels to nanoscale carriers, for a variety of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering and thermo-controlled catalysis. Understanding the molecular bases behind thermal sensitivity of materials is fundamentally important for the rational design of assemblies with optimal combination of properties and predictable tunability for specific applications. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in this area with a specific focus on the parameters and factors that influence thermoresponsive properties of soft materials. We summarize and analyze the effects of structures and architectures of molecules, hydrophilic and lipophilic balance, concentration, components and external additives upon the thermoresponsiveness of the corresponding molecular assemblies.

Comprehensive two-dimensional temperature-responsive × reversed phase liquid chromatography for the analysis of wine phenolics. Talanta 2022; 236:122889.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are an interesting class of natural products because of their proposed contribution to health benefits of foods and beverages and as a bio-source of organic (aromatic) building blocks. Phenolic extracts from natural products are often highly complex and contain compounds covering a broad range in molecular properties. While many 1D-LC and mass spectrometric approaches have been proposed for the analysis of phenolics, this complexity inevitably leads to challenging identification and purification. New insights into the composition of phenolic extracts can be obtained through online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC × LC) coupled to photodiode array and mass spectrometric detection. However, several practical hurdles must be overcome to achieve high peak capacities and to obtain robust methods with this technique. In many LC × LC configurations, refocusing of analytes at the head of the 2D column is hindered by the high eluotropic strength of the solvent transferred from the 1D to the 2D, leading to peak breakthrough or broadening. LC × LC combinations whereby a purely aqueous mobile phase is used in the 1D and RPLC is used in the 2D are unaffected by these phenomena, leading to more robust methods. In this contribution, the combination of temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) with RPLC is used for the first time for the analysis of phenolic extracts of natural origin to illustrate the potential of this alternative combination for natural product analyses. The possibilities of the combination are investigated through analysis of wine extracts by TRLC × RPLC-DAD and TRLC × RPLC-ESI-MS.

Abstract
We reporte the double-layer hydrogel-coated mesoporous silica material as a new stationary phase for liquid chromatography. The method of combining physical coating and chemical coating was to apply hydrogel coating on the surface of silica, and finally, a new type of liquid chromatography stationary phase with in situ coating of the functional hydrogel on silica was obtained. This hydrogel-functionalized liquid chromatography stationary phase also exhibits a certain temperature responsiveness. Experimental results show that this temperature response is mainly due to changes in the hydrogen bonding between the stationary phase and the analyte at different temperatures in the column oven, which leads to changes in retention behavior. The hydrogel-coated mesoporous silica microspheres showed excellent selectivity for many polar analytes. An excellent column efficiency was obtained (139 000 plates/m for terephthalic acid) after optimization of chromatographic conditions. In addition to rapid separation of some analytes, this new hydrogel stationary phase also has certain superiority in chromatographic performance compared with other new excellent liquid chromatography stationary phases functioned by three-dimensional cross-linking systems. The important thing is that this strategy is relatively easy to prepare a new stationary phase with different properties.

Abstract
Temperature-responsive liquid chromatography (TRLC) allows for extensive retention and selectivity tuning through temperature in HPLC. This is mainly achieved through the use of a stationary phases comprising of a temperature-responsive polymer which undergoes a reversible change from hydrophilic to hydrophobic behaviour upon increasing the temperature. The approach can allow for reversed phase type separations to be achieved with purely aqueous mobile phases, whereby the retention is controlled through temperature instead of mobile phase composition. Despite the promising nature of such form of retention control under isocratic mobile phase conditions, TRLC can suffer from excessive retention of highly apolar solutes even at lower column temperatures whereby the polymer is considered hydrophilic. This is related both to a residual apolarity of the polymer chain and due to the high log P's and low water solubility of higly apolar compounds. While it was known that elution in TRLC doesn't necessarily has to be performed under purely aqueous conditions and that the use of organic co-solvents to the water is possible, the impact thereof on the temperature responsive behaviour itself had not yet been investigated in a systematic way. Therefore in this work the advantages and drawbacks of the use of the organic co-solvents methanol and acetonitrile in TRLC is assessed on two types of temperature reponsive phases: poly-N-N-propylacrylamide (PNNPAAm) and poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm). The influence of organic co-solvents is investigated with two representative test mixtures (comprising 4 parabens and 5 apolar steroids).

Abstract
Temperature Responsive Liquid Chromatography (TRLC) offers an alternative and environmentally friendly way to perform reversed-phase like separations. Its use of temperature responsive polymers to control retention based on column temperature, instead of the fraction of organic modifier in the mobile phase mobile, eliminates the need for solvent composition gradients and allows, for example, for purely aqueous separations. In principle this temperature induced retention should allow for gradient elutions to be performed using downward temperature gradients to control retention and refocus the analyte peaks. Yet, the unavailability of dedicated commercial temperature controlling systems allowing suitable temperature control in TRLC limits implementations thereof often to isothermal or step gradient applications. In this work we study the potential of 1) a simple yet programmable water bath and of 2) a modified HPLC system allowing column temperature programming through controlled mixing of a warm and cold mobile phase streams. The performance of both systems was evaluated under both isocratic and gradient applications, resulting in a more thorough understanding of the influence of temperature gradients in TRLC. This knowledge is then applied to a sample of phenolic solutes, illustrating that, although both systems have some flaws, both are able to impose temperature gradients in TRLC resulting in significantly reduced retention and enhanced refocusing of the analyte peak.

Abstract
Responsive (smart, intelligent, adaptive) polymers have been widely explored for a variety of advanced applications in recent years. The thermoresponsive poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAAm), which has a better biocompatibility than the widely investigated poly(N,N-isopropylacrylamide), has gained increased interest in recent years. In this paper, the successful synthesis, characterization, and bioconjugation of a novel thermoresponsive copolymer, poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (P(DEAAm-co-GMA)), obtained by free radical copolymerization with various comonomer contents and monomer/initiator ratios are reported. It was found that all the investigated copolymers possess LCST-type thermoresponsive behavior with small extent of hysteresis, and the critical solution temperatures (CST), i.e., the cloud and clearing points, decrease linearly with increasing GMA content of these copolymers. The P(DEAAm-co-GMA) copolymer with pendant epoxy groups was found to conjugate efficiently with α-chymotrypsin in a direct, one-step reaction, leading to enzyme-polymer nanoparticle (EPNP) with average size of 56.9 nm. This EPNP also shows reversible thermoresponsive behavior with somewhat higher critical solution temperature than that of the unreacted P(DEAAm-co-GMA). Although the catalytic activity of the enzyme-polymer nanoconjugate is lower than that of the native enzyme, the results of the enzyme activity investigations prove that the pH and thermal stability of the enzyme is significantly enhanced by conjugation the with P(DEAAm-co-GMA) copolymer.

Pharmaceutical impurity analysis by comprehensive two-dimensional temperature responsive × reversed phase liquid chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1630:461561.

Abstract
In this study, the possibilities of temperature responsive × reversed phase liquid chromatography (TRLC × RPLC) are assessed in terms of pharmaceutical impurity analysis. Due to the increased peak capacity per unit time they offer, two-dimensional LC approaches are gaining relevance for the analysis of complex drug formulations. Because the latter depicts a larger predisposition for the occurrence of an increased number of impurities, current 1D-HPLC approaches often prove insufficient. Since many LC × LC methods are limited by modulation, solvent compatibility, orthogonality, and sensitivity issues, the combination of TRLC × RPLC is explored in this work for pharmaceutical impurity analysis. As this combination of a purely aqueous separation with RPLC allows for systematic and optimization-free refocusing in the second dimension, it opens possibilities for generic LC × LC requiring minimal to no method development, in this way overcoming a major perceived contemporary hurdle of LC × LC. The approach is demonstrated with a representative mixture of 17 solutes comprising 11 corticosteroids and 6 progestogens. Orthogonality and peak capacities were assessed on three RP core-shell column selectivities (Poroshell EC-C18, phenyl-hexyl and PFP). Although the TRLC × EC-C18 combination offered somewhat better orthogonality, the combination with the PFP column proved the best for the separation at hand. Depending on the composition of the mixture, the use of full, shifted, or segmented gradients allowed facile optimization of the separation. The developed platform allowed detection of the impurities at the 0.05% level compared to a selected main compound, while also opening up possibilities for analysis of formulations comprising two active ingredients.
