Abstract:

A rosin-based core-shell polymer bonded silica(RP@SiO2) stationary phase was prepared by the radical polymerization of fumaropimaric acid tri(β-acryloxyl ethyl) ester(FATE) onto alkylated silica(TPM-SiO2). The RP@SiO2 stationary phase was characterized and evaluated, the separation performance and mechanism of RP@SiO2 column for paclitaxel(PTX) and its analogs were discussed, and it was used for the separation and purification of PTX from crude yew-bark extract. The results showed that FATE was successfully bonded to the surface of silica, the core-shell structure material was successfully prepared, and the average particle size of RP@SiO2 was about 5 μm. The RP@SiO2 column was a typical reversed-phase column similar to C18 column, showing excellent chromatographic performance, satisfactory performance reproducibility, and typical reversed-phase chromatographic behavior. The RP@SiO2 column was used to separate paclitaxel analogs, and the separation degree of continuous elution samples was more than 6.6. Stoichiometric displacement theory for retention(SDT-R) and van't Hoff thermodynamic analysis showed that hydrophobic interactions determined the analyte retention, and the separation of paclitaxel analogs on RP@SiO2 column was an exothermic process driven by enthalpy. Furthermore, SDT-R could be used to explain its retention mechanism. The RP@SiO2 column was employed to separate and purify paclitaxel from crude yew-bark extract, increasing paclitaxel purity from 6% to 81%.
