Peptide purification via flash chromatography has recently been demonstrated as a viable alternative to the more standard HPLC methods currently utilized. Flash chromatography offers peptide chemists the advantage of significantly greater loading capacity reducing the overall purification time but with a compromise of decreased peak resolution. Herein we present several strategies that, when implemented, allow for very high purity peptide samples purified by flash chromatography.

Analysis of drug panels in urine samples can be challenging, and the trend towards larger panels including multiple drug classes compounds the issues faced during method development. This white paper examines a number of aspects of sample preparation, and their impact on the success of subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis of broad urine panels. Section 1 examines the applicability of various sample preparation techniques: supported liquid extraction, reverse phase SPE and mixed-mode SPE, to the various classes of drugs extracted. In addition, hydrolysis approaches: enzyme type and protocol used (time, temperature), are compared. Mixed-mode reverse phase/cation exchange SPE is widely used for extraction of basic drug classes from urine, but the inclusion of drugs and metabolites that exhibit ‘non-typical’ functionality within urine panels can be problematic. Section 2 examines the impact of various parameters (interference wash strength, elution solvent composition) on analyte retention, elution and extract cleanliness with particular focus on zwitterionic (gabapentin, pregabalin) and non-ionic (carisoprodol, meprobamate) drugs.

Die Flash-Chromatographie ist die bevorzugte Reinigungsmethode für organische Stoffe, Arzneimittel und Naturstoffe. In jüngster Zeit hat sie auch die Peptidchemie erobert, verfügt sie doch über die Fähigkeit, eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Verbindungen effizienter zu trennen, als dies mit anderen Vorreinigungsverfahren wie z. B. dem Ausfällen (Protein-Crash) oder der Flüssig-Flüssig-Extraktion möglich ist. Zur Herstellung reiner Verbindungen können Chemiker je nach dem gewünschten Reinheitsgrad auf eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Variablen zurückgreifen. In diesem Whitepaper möchten wir die Faktoren erläutern, die für eine erfolgreiche Aufreinigung mithilfe der Flash-Chromatographie kontrolliert werden müssen.

For as long as column chromatography has been practiced by organic and medicinal chemists there has been a concern that too much methanol in the solvent system will dissolve the column’s silica. This concern has come about because chemists often find a solid white precipitate in collected fractions after purification. This phenomenon is usually noticed when dichloromethane and methanol are used as the mobile phase solvents. In this poster we will show the results of a study that evaluated the degree of dissolution for both granular and spherical silica in methanol and dichloromethane.

Traditional approaches to compound purification involving chromatography utilize large volumes of relatively toxic and expensive solvents, and significantly contribute to the environmental footprint of organizations involved in molecular research. Current directives for greener chemistry have put pressure on organizations to reduce the environmental impact of their work.

Bei herkömmlichen Aufreinigungsverfahren mittels Chromatographie kommen große Mengen verhältnismäßig giftiger und teurer Lösungsmittel zum Einsatz, die sich negativ auf den ökologischen Fußabdruck von Unternehmen in der Molekularforschung auswirken. Neue Richtlinien für einen verantwortungsvolleren Umgang mit Chemikalien zwingen Unternehmen, die Umweltauswirkungen ihrer Arbeit zu reduzieren. Durch Einblicke in die Arbeitsabläufe dieser Unternehmen und neue Entwicklungen im Bereich Flash-Chromatographiesysteme und -säulen lassen sich Verbrauch und Toxizität der für die Aufreinigung eingesetzten Lösungsmittel und somit auch die Umweltbelastungen dieser Verfahren reduzieren.
