Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to chiral chromatographic fillers, in particular to an erythromycin chiral silica gel filler and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chirality is widely present in nature and is a basic characteristic of materials. Enantiomers usually have different biological properties and have completely different effects on organisms. Therefore, the separation of enantiomers is necessary in the pharmaceutical field. Since Pasteur first successfully separated racemic tartrate with tweezers under a microscope in 1848, chiral separation technology has developed rapidly. As far as we know, mechanical, chemical, biochemical, chromatographic, extraction and membrane separation techniques have been explored for chiral separation. Chromatographic separation methods, especially HPLC technology combined with chiral fixation, are considered to be one of the most convenient and effective methods among the various chiral drug separation technologies currently available.

[0003] Since the introduction of the first chiral stationary phase (CSP) in 1938, the planning and development of new CSPs for HPLC has been considered a continuous and evolving issue. HPLC using chiral stationary phases has proven to be a very useful and accurate analytical tool and is widely used in different fields and professions. CSPs are the key to determining chiral separation capabilities. The first requirement for a CSP to be applied to the separation of chiral compounds is that it can quickly and accurately determine the enantiomeric purity of different structures. In the past few decades, many different classes of chiral stationary phases have been widely reported as separation materials, of which more than 100 are currently on the market. The most commonly used chiral selectors are amino acids (natural or derived), proteins, cyclodextrins (natural or derived), derived linear or branched carbohydrates (such as cellulose or amylose) and cavity type selectors, such as macrocyclic antibiotics.

[0004] Macrocyclic antibiotics have a large number of chiral centers and characteristic groups, which can act as chiral devices to interact with analytes, such as electrostatic interactions. The types of macrocyclic antibiotics include ansamycins, glycopeptides, and polypeptides. Among these major types of antibiotics, glycopeptide antibiotics have the highest enantiomeric selectivity and are relatively stable during the bonding and column loading of the stationary phase. Therefore, the research on chiral stationary phases of macrocyclic antibiotics mainly focuses on glycopeptide antibiotics.

[0005] Although macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases show good chiral selectivity for many compounds and can separate a variety of chiral compounds, they may not provide ideal separation effects for certain compounds with specific structures and may be unstable under extreme pH or temperature conditions. In practical applications, the column efficiency and column life of macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases may be affected by the conditions of use. In order to solve the limitations of existing stationary phases, it is necessary to continuously research and develop new macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral stationary phases to meet the needs of different chiral separations.

[0006] Erythromycin is a widely used glycopeptide macrocyclic antibiotic with significant antibacterial activity. The erythromycin molecule contains multiple chiral carbon atoms, which determines that it has multiple stereoisomers. Erythromycin A is its main active ingredient, which contains 14 chiral centers, has two 6-membered rings and one macrocycle, and has 5 hydroxyl groups. It can produce multiple forces such as hydrophobic interaction, polar interaction, hydrogen bonding and π-π conjugation with the compounds to be separated. It has special stereoselectivity and can achieve effective separation of specific enantiomers in complex samples. It is an effective supplement to the separation ability and application range of existing chiral fillers. Summary of the invention
