A novel guanosine gel effectively separates propranolol enantiomers using capillary electrophoresis. This reversible biogel offers efficient chiral separation with easy removal of the selector, preventing contamination.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Biophysical Chemistry

Background:

  • Chiral separations are crucial in pharmaceuticals.
  • Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful separation technique.
  • Developing efficient and clean chiral selectors for CE remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel guanosine gel as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis.
  • To demonstrate the ability of the guanosine gel to resolve enantiomers.
  • To explore the advantages of a reversible gel network for chiral separations.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of reversible guanosine gels via self-association of guanosine compounds.
  • Utilizing 5'-guanosine monophosphate as a run buffer in capillary electrophoresis.

  • Optimization of gel properties (monomer concentration, pH, temperature, cation content) for enantiomeric resolution.

    • Main Results:

    • Baseline resolution of d- and l-propranolol enantiomers was achieved.
    • Enantiomeric resolution values of 2.1-2.3 were obtained in under 5 minutes.
    • Demonstrated the reversible nature of the guanosine gel network.

    Conclusions:

    • Guanosine gels represent a promising, tunable chiral selector for capillary electrophoresis.
    • The reversibility of the gel allows for easy removal of the selector, enhancing product purity.
    • This method offers a clean and efficient approach for enantiomeric separation and analysis.
