Abstract

The enantioseparation of the non-protein amino acid homocysteine by CE was investigated in this article using eleven neutral CDs and five chiral ionic liquids as chiral selectors. Using a previous derivatization step with FMOC and the subsequent separation under neutral conditions, homocysteine enantiomers were only separated when γ-CD or (R)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-aminobutanol-bis(trifluoromethane-sulfon)imidate (EtCholNTf2) were employed as sole chiral selectors in the separation buffer. On the one hand, γ-CD gave rise to the enantiomeric separation in 10min with a resolution value of 1.9, whereas EtCholNTf2 let to obtain a resolution value of 1.4 in more than 50min. Then, the evaluation of the combined use of both selectors was also carried out, resulting in a considerable increase in the Rs. The best enantioseparation for homocysteine was obtained when 10mM EtCholNTf2 was added to 50mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 2mM γ-CD. In an attempt to discriminate specific chiral cation effect from the salt effect, the influence of adding LiNTf2 to the separation medium was also evaluated, resulting in lower resolution values for homocysteine when compared to those achieved with the addition of EtCholNTf2, indicating a synergistic ...Continue Reading
