Separation mechanism of oleanane and ursane pentacyclic triterpenoid isomers by coordination chromatography
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the study of the separation mechanism of oleanane and ursane pentacyclic triterpenoid isomers by a coordination chromatographic method. Based on the calculation analysis, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and its derivatives were selected as the suitable agents. The experimental results showed that the resolution of madecassoside isomers with the addition of glucosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Glu-beta-CD) to the mobile phase (11.95) was higher than that of the addition of beta-CD (9.61) or dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CD) (9.89). The formation of 1:1 inclusion complexes was assumed. The apparent formation constants (K(F)) of pentacyclic triterpenes with beta-CD were determined by HPLC method. For asiaticoside-B, the K(F) value with the addition of Glu-beta-CD (2 534 L/mol) was larger than that with the addition of beta-CD (1 467 L/mol) or DM-beta-CD (1 373 L/mol). According to the infrared characteristic absorbing peaks and simulation, the methyl part of asiaticoside-B might enter into beta-CD cavity while the carbonyl group of asiaticoside-B might not enter into the cavity of beta-CD, and the large glycoside parts were kept outside, forming hydrogen-bond interaction with the exterior of beta-CD cavity. The results of the separation of oleanane and ursane pentacyclic triterpenoid isomers by coordination chromatography indicated that, the separation mechanism might be attributed to the steric differences (the place of methyl group in E cyclic), which lead to different chromatographic behaviors.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

01:10Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
