      Two-dimensional high-performance thin-layer chromatography for the characterization of milk peptide properties and a prediction of the retention behavior – a proof-of-principle study
      M. TREBLIN, T. VON OESEN, L.-C. CLASS, G. KUHNEN, I. CLAWIN-RÄDECKER, D. MARTIN, J. FRITSCHE, S. ROHN* (*Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Institute of Food Technology and Food Chemistry, Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany; rohn@tu-berlin.de)

      J Chromatogr A 1653, 462442 (2021). Samples were peptides obtained through tryptic hydrolysis of the 5 most abundant milk proteins: α-lactalbumin (α-LA), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), α-, β- and κ-casein (CA). As standards, synthetic whey and pea (Pisum sativum, Fabaceae) peptides (selected based on the in silico tryptic digest of α-LA, β-LG, legumin A, and vicilin with one or zero miscleavages) were only used in the last assay for prediction of the RF values of peptides with known amino-acid (AA) sequences. Two-dimensional HPTLC on silica gel (pre-washed with methanol and activated 10 min at 100°), first with basic mobile phase sec-butanol – pyridine – ammonia – water 39:34:10:26, and (after 12h drying) in the orthogonal direction with acidic mobile phase sec-butanol – pyridine – acetic acid – water 11:8:2:5. Derivatization for peptides and proteins by immersion into fluorescamine (0.05 % in acetone); visualization under UV 254 nm and 365 nm. Computer-assisted determination of the x- and y-coordinates of the derivatized zones. Repeatability (n=8) of the 2D-HPTLC was statistically tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normal distribution and with Dixon’s Q test for outliers. Relative standard deviation (RSD) for the RF values was 12.9 % for the first dimension (y-coordinates) and 16.5 % for the second dimension (x-coordinates). According to their higher intensity and sharpness, 15 – 20 detected zones from each protein hydrolyzate were selected, manually scraped from the derivatized layer, dissolved in formic acid solution (0.1 % in acetonitrile – water 3:2), mixed with an equal volume of matrix (dihydroxybenzoic acid 2 % in acetonitrile – water 3:7), crystallized on air on a ground steel target, before being desorbed by the laser beam of the MALDI-TOF-MS/MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry). Direct hyphenation of HPTLC to MS was not performed, to avoid zone diffusion during plate coating with the matrix and to circumvent the stronger binding of polar peptides on the layer.  The MS spectra were acquired in positive reflector mode in m/z range 340 – 4000 (10 – 2500 for fragments), using an external peptide as calibration standard. Identification of 51 from the 85 selected peptides according to AA sequences was performed, using software programs allowing m/z calculation of protein fragments and estimation of cleavage sites. Correlation of the retention behaviour of the peptides with their properties (molecular weight MW, isoelectric point IEP, charges, polarity) was tested with Student’s two-sided t-test after calculation of Pearson’s correlation coefficients. The correlation was significant with IEP, percentages of anionic AA and of non-polar AA; but not with the following properties: MW, percentages of cationic AA and of uncharged polar AA. Finally, based on the correlation results, regression formulas were found to calculate the x- and y-coordinates of any known peptide from the percentage of non-polar AA (or vice-versa). The prediction power of these formulas was verified by repeating the complete 2D-HPTLC-MS experiment with the standard peptides of whey and of peas, and measuring the absolute and relative deviations between the actual x- and y-coordinates and the predicted values. The absolute deviations were higher in the lower RF zones. The average, relative RF value deviations (range 22.1 – 25.7 %) were not different between whey and pea peptides.

      Mixed-mode hydrophilic interactions/reversed-phase retention mechanism in thin-layer chromatography
      Darija OBRADOVIC*, T. KOWALSKA, D. AGBABA (*Dep. of Pharm. Chem., Univ. of Belgrade-Fac. of Pharmacy, Belgrade, Serbia, darija2207@gmail.com; darija@pharmacy.bg.ac.rs)

      J Chromatogr Sci, 60 (4), 372-386 (2022). Investigation of the dual retention mechanism in TLC taking place on three stationary phases of different polarity (C-18, silica gel and DIOL)  using binary mobile phases composed of acetonitrile as the main component and water, or methanol as a modifier. The test analytes were 12 compounds of pharmaceutical importance and considerably different chemical structure, i.e. the imidazoline and serotonin receptor ligands, and their related compounds. Determination of retention of each analyte in each investigated chromatographic system in a wide enough range of the mobile phase composition, with volume fraction of the mobile phase modifier ranging from 0.10 to 0.90. Calculation of the exact turning point values as a proof of occurrence of the reversed-phase hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC/RP) retention mechanism based on the multimodal retention model. Analysis of the dual retention mode with the use of the volume fraction of the mobile phase modifier, the total polarity and the total solubility models, allowing the dual (HILIC/RP) retention mechanism for the DIOL, C-18 and silica gel stationary phase to be confirmed. The observed retention mechanism was more complicated than the dual HILIC/RP one in the case of the DIOL stationary phase and acetonitrile/methanol mobile phase.

      The influence of perchlorate ion concentration on the retention of fluoroquinolones in RP-TLC
      M. KAMINSKA, Irena CHOMA* (*Department of Chromatographic Methods, University of M. Curie-Sklodowska, M. Sklodowska Sq. 3, 20-031 Lublin, Poland; irena.choma@poczta.umcs.lublin.pl)

      J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 33, 894-902 (2010). Five amphoteric piperazynyl fluoroquinolones and flumequine were analyzed in an RP system on C8 plates with acetonitrile/aqueous acidic mobile phases containing various concentrations of potassium perchlorate. Perchlorate as a so-called chaotropic ion caused the increase in the retention of basic fluoroquinolones. TLC of sarafloxacin, difloxacin, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and flumequine on RP-8 with acetonitrile - water containing constant concentration of citric acid but various concentrations of potassium perchorate. After air-drying, fluoroquinolone zones were detected at 366 nm and 254 nm and flumequine only at 254 nm. The retention increased with the increasing concentrations of perchlorate ion in the mobile phase and achieved a plateau for the mobile phases containing 10-20 mM of chaotropic perchlorate.

      A. PODGORNY, T. KOWALSKA*, (Inst. of Chem., Silesian Univ., 9 Szkolna Street, 40-006 Katowice, Poland)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 7, 217-220 (1994). Adaption of the new retention model primarily established for reverse phase liquid chromatographic systems employing tetrahydrofuran - water and acetone - water mobile phases to the description of solute retention in analogous systems utilizing phosphate buffer instead of water.
