Abstract
The pentafluorophenyl (PFP)-functionalized stationary phases, due to their unique hydrophobicity and fluorophilic affinity, have received increasing attention in separation science. How to introduce PFP group effectively with a green chemistry approach has become an important issue. This work provided a facile and green synthetic route for preparing PFP@SiO2 column. The liquid chromatography (LC) performance towards pharmaceutical molecules such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and antiviral drugs was systematically explored. The results showed the PFP@SiO2 column possessed a low back pressure and good solvent endurance (less affected by solvent effect). Under gradient elution mode, the column also showed a higher separation efficiency and good quantitative capacity towards complex natural product (Sanguisorbae Radix Carbonisatum extract), which met the requirements of current standards and regulations. This work provides a facile green synthesis approach for preparing highly-performed PFP@SiO2 column for pharmaceutical applications, and a powerful tool for biomedicine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography B publishes papers on developments in separation science relevant to biology and biomedical research including both fundamental advances and applications. Analytical techniques which may be considered include the various facets of chromatography, electrophoresis and related methods, affinity and immunoaffinity-based methodologies, hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, and microanalytical approaches. The journal also considers articles reporting developments in sample preparation, detection techniques including mass spectrometry, and data handling and analysis.
Developments related to preparative separations for the isolation and purification of components of biological systems may be published, including chromatographic and electrophoretic methods, affinity separations, field flow fractionation and other preparative approaches.
Applications to the analysis of biological systems and samples will be considered when the analytical science contains a significant element of novelty, e.g. a new approach to the separation of a compound, novel combination of analytical techniques, or significantly improved analytical performance.
