Study of the retention properties of warfarin enantiomers on a beta-cyclodextrin polymeric support.
High-performance liquid chromatography was used to study the retention properties of (R)- and (S)-warfarins on a silica support coated with a beta-cyclodextrin polymer. The influence of the methanol content of the acetate buffer eluent was investigated at pH 4. The measure of the variations of retention time with temperature enables one to determine the enthalpy and the entropy of adsorption. The plot of the two thermodynamic functions shows a minimum around 30% (v/v) methanol. At low methanol contents, the decrease of the hydrophobic interactions with increasing methanol content explains the decrease of the enthalpic and entropic terms. Above 40% (v/v) methanol, the decrease of the adsorption enthalpy absolute value is due to the solvation by the organic component. From the analysis of peak shape in mass-overload conditions, the column capacity toward each enantiomer was determined. A lower capacity was found toward (S)-warfarin, the more retained enantiomer. Peak shape analysis in mass-overload conditions was used to determine the adsorption isotherm. A Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm accounts well for the experimental data.
