CAQAX Specialty AnionExchange Columns Ion exchange columns possess charged functional groups which allow analytes to bind upon sample application. Prior to column use, these groups require counter ions at these charged sites. The standard counter ion for cation exchangers is the hydronium ion and for anion exchangers is the chloride ion . From time to time during sample application, a charged analyte is not strong enough to displace the counter ion & therefore does not bind to the column. In cases such as these, a weaker counter ion is required. Two such columns with weaker counter ions (Quaternary amine with acetate counter ion) & (Quaternary amine with hydroxide counter ion) are commercially available. In terms of strength, the acetate ion is stronger than the hydroxide ion.

Principle: The generation of small molecule libraries for screening against biological targets has emerged as an area of intense interest in the pharmaceutical industry. SPE has been demonstrated to expedite work up and purification of organic molecules synthesized in solution, and in the automated construction of small molecule libraries. Samples that have been synthesized in aqueous salt, buffer solutions, or low polarity organic solvents containing salts may require the removal of those salts prior to analysis. Pharmasil TM Reverse Phase SPE can be used to desalt these libraries. Application: This application details the use of Pharmasil™ CEC18, a highly loaded reverse phase sorbent, for desalting synthetic mixtures. In combinatorial chemistry and organic synthesis salts are sometimes present in the reaction mixtures. Once the reaction is complete, it is usually necessary to separate the products of the reaction from the salts. If the salt is not removed it can interfere with further testing as well as ruin expensive analytical equipment. This can be done using a highly loaded reverse phase SPE column to selectively remove the salt from the reaction mixture. Technical Document P-105Purification of Small Molecule LibrariesDesalting Samples Using Pharmasil™ Reverse Phase SPE
Advantages of Pharmasil™ Based Sorbents • Complete removal of salts • Clean background • High recoveries • High levels of purification of anaytes • Applicable to a broad range of compounds • Simple easy to develop methods Chemistry of Pharmasil™ CEC18 Sorbent
Purification Profile This profile is based on the use of a Pharmasil™ CEC18 500 mg column (columns are available with varying volumes). This column is capable of removal of salts. The method can be scaled up as necessary by using columns of higher bed mass of sorbent and increasing the solvent volumes proportionately The following profile is meant to be a guideline for these types of purifications. Each drug class has its own specific requirements based on solubility, stability, and pKa and may require slight adjustments in methodology. Therefore think of the following profile as a beginning rather than a final method. Sample Pre-treatment Samples may or may not require pretreatment before addition. The primary concern using desalting columns is to adjust the pH of the compound of interest so that it is totally molecular. This may require the addition of an acid or base. Desalting can be done out of low polarity organic solvents such as hexane or methylene chloride as long as the compound of interest is protonated. Column Conditioning Condition the column 1 ml of Methanol followed by 1 ml of water. Column Equilibration Condition the column with buffer: If sample is a base, you want the pH to be >9 If sample is an acid, you want the pH to be<2.5 Apply the sample to the column under gravity. The salts will flow through the column and the sample will stick to the column. The volume of the sample is not important and will probably be dictated by the equipment you use. The critical factor is concentration and capacity of the sorbent. If the concentration of the compound of exceeds the capacity of the sorbent you will not get the highest recovery. If you think this is a problem use a larger bed mass. Product Purification Wash the column with 1ml of DI water or hexane. Product Elution Elute compound of interest with 1ml of methanol, ethyl acetate, or the organic solvent of your choice.
Principle: The generation of small molecule libraries for screening against biological targets has emerged as an area of intense interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Ion exchange chromatography has been demonstrated to expedite work up and purification of organic molecules synthesized in solution, and in the automated construction of small molecule libraries. The advantage of ion exchange chromatography over more traditional small molecule purification modes such as flash chromatography or HPLC is that one can reliably predict the elution characteristics of a broad range of molecules solely by the presence or absence of an ionizable site on the molecule.
