Detailed characterization of macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phases in SFC
Folprechtová, Denisa ; Kalíková, Květa (advisor) ; Křížek, Tomáš (referee) ; Kohout, Michal (referee)
The choice of a suitable chiral stationary phase is a key factor for successful enantioseparation in chromatographic methods. Macrocyclic glycopeptides are chiral selectors that, due to their unique structure, allow to interact with the analyte by various types of interactions simultaneously, which contributes to their complex retention and enantiodiscrimination mechanisms. Macrocyclic glycopeptides are widely used chiral stationary phases in liquid chromatography, but they have not been thoroughly tested in sub/supercritical fluid chromatography, which currently rank among important separation techniques in terms of chiral analyses. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is a detailed characterization of the enantiodiscrimination and retention mechanisms of macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phases packed with core-shell particles, namely TeicoShell, VancoShell, and NicoShell columns in sub/supercritical fluid chromatography. First, the effect of the mobile phase composition, especially the type and amount of organic modifiers and additives, on individual chromatographic parameters, i.e., retention, resolution of enantiomers, and peak shapes was studied in detail using selected sets of structurally different biologically active chiral compounds and materials. Based on the obtained...

Determination of proteinogenic amino acids by high-performance separation techniques
Hodek, Ondřej ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pacáková, Věra (referee) ; Tůma, Petr (referee)
(EN) Proteinogenic amino acids are key components of living organisms. Thus, the latest metabolomics research has focused on developing fast and sensitive methods for the determination of amino acids. In this context, this thesis contains two studies describing development of high-performance separation techniques for the quantification of amino acids. In the first study, a capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the determination of free amino acids in tobacco plants, particularly focusing on optimizing the extraction of amino acids from solid plant materials. The extraction procedure was optimized using design of experiments (DoE) to obtain the highest possible extraction yield of amino acids. Factors such as volume and concentration of the extraction solvent (hydrochloric acid) were assessed as the most significant. Subsequently, the optimal values of these factors were determined using response surface methodology (RSM). Lastly, proteinogenic amino acids were quantified using capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection and calibration with internal standard, which improved the precision of the method. The second study aimed at developing a supercritical fluid chromatography method for the determination of free proteinogenic amino acids in human plasma. The most...

Chromatograhic characterization of chiral and achiral separation systems
Kučerová, Gabriela ; Tesařová, Eva (advisor) ; Čabala, Radomír (referee) ; Ševčík, Juraj (referee)
Dissertation thesis is a 5-publications' collection concerning characterization and application potential of cyclodextrins, polysaccharides and macrocyclic antibiotics based chiral stationary phases. The effects of stationary phase and mobile phase are studied. This approach ensures the complex insight into separation systems studied. Systems with different nature of chiral selector were studied by HPLC. Namely, macrocyclic antibiotics and derivatized polysaccharides were used for experiments. Former ones provided better results for enantioseparation of non-coded amino acids than latter ones. Dynamic coating procedure was used for preparation of a new chiral stationary phase. Characterization of new cationic cyclodextrin based chiral stationary phase was performed. Linear free energy relationship method was used for characterization of two different separation systems, i.e. newly prepared stationary phase and commercially available stationary phase. Based on results obtained, newly prepared stationary phase showed better results for separation of different achiral groups of analysts. New stationary phase prepared by dynamic coating was compared with chromatographic system, in which the chiral selector was used as a mobile phase additive. The chiral selector used for the two different approaches was...

Enantioselective separation of certain analytes using supercritical fluid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography
Martínková, Monika ; Tesařová, Eva (advisor) ; Čabala, Radomír (referee)
(EN) Cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase was used for separation of selected 24 analytes. Enantioseparations were realized using two systems, high performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. Effect of mobile phase composition was studied. Five different aditives (isopropylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, trifluoroacetic acid, isopropylamine combined with trifluoroacetic acid) and their influence on enantioseparation were tested. Influence of two different modifiers (methanol, propan-2-ol) combined with all aditives was also tested in supercritical fluid chromatography system. The aim of this work was to find optimized composition of mobile phase which was suitable for separation of the analytes studied and to compare separation potential among all mobile phases and also between used separations systems. The supercritical fluid chromatography was shown to yield better results, i.e. better resolution in shorter analysis time. However examples of analytes better resolved under optimized conditions in high performance liquid chromatography system have also been found. Keywords (EN) Chirality, enantiomers, enantioselective separation, chiral stationary phase, high performance liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography.
