Nucleoside monophosphates recognition using macrocyclic polyamine bonded phase in capillary electrochromatography.
An open-tubular wall-coated macrocyclic polyamine capillary column (70 cm x 75 microm ID) with 50 cm effective length for the separation of nucleoside monophosphates is described. Some parameters with respect to concentration, pH, composition of the buffer, and voltage in order to optimize the separation were studied. The coated capillary showed reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF), allowing anions to be separated in the co-EOF mode. Baseline separations were achieved for the eight nucleotides in less than 26 min using a background electrolyte consisting of H(3)PO(4)-NaH(2)PO(4) (30 mM, pH 3.10), an applied voltage of -15 kV, and detection at 254 nm. The macrocyclic polyamine on the capillary wall introduced anion coordination for the interaction with the analytes, the strength of which could be moderated by the type and concentration of the competing ion used in the background electrolyte (BGE). With a low concentration of the competing ion (phosphate ion), the migration behavior followed that obtained in the electrophoretic system. Increasing the concentration of the competing ion resulted in a faster migration and more complete elution of the analyte. The method established was also employed for the analysis of nucleotides in mushrooms. Aqueous extracts of mushrooms from different species and various extraction methods were injected directly for the analysis. Uridine 5'-monophosphate, guanosine 5'-monophosphate, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, and cytidine 5'-monophosphate, were found in the sample tested.
