Preparation, evaluation, and application of a novel reversed-phase/zwitterionic/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic mixed-mode stationary phase
The present study described the preparation and application of a reversed-phase/zwitterionic/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography stationary phase, named as SIL-PS. The SIL-PS was prepared through a four-step reaction, chemical bonding, nucleophilic addition, SN1 substitution, and sulfonation on the silica matrix. It was featured with C12 alkyl chain, quaternary ammonium, tertiary amine, and sulfonate groups. After SIL-PS was packed into the stainless steel column (150 × 2.1 mm i.d.), chromatographic parameters, including acetonitrile content, pH, and ionic strength of the mobile phase, and the column temperature, were systematically investigated to study the retention mechanism. Electrostatic adsorptive/repulsive, partition, and hydrogen-bonding interactions were demonstrated to contribute to the retention. The stability of the SIL-PS was satisfactory, with relative standard deviations of retention factors of 1.93, 2.08, and 1.90% for loxoprofen, adenosine, and liquiritin, respectively. Additionally, to investigate the separation selectivity, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nucleobases/nucleotides, and alkaloids/glycosides were separated; the HPLC fingerprinting of the Cortex phellodendri extract was also conducted, and the separation performance was superior to that of the C18 column in terms of peak shape, resolution, and analytical time. The results revealed that the prepared SIL-PS possessed multifunctionalities for multiretention and could be promising for complicated samples.
