Abstract
The objective of the present work was to investigate the chromatographic behavior of natural phenolic compounds in micellar and aqueous-organic LC using a short column packed with 1.8 microm particles. Firstly, the effect of ACN and SDS on elution strength and selectivity was examined by isocratic submicellar (0-30% ACN/5% 1-butanol/1-6 mM SDS) and micellar (0-30% ACN/5% 1-butanol/40-60 mM SDS) systems. The varied concentrations of two modifiers in the mobile phases revealed different eluting power. Then, the application of organic modifier gradient was discussed in both submicellar and micellar LC using mobile phases of 4 mM SDS/5% 1-butanol or 50 mM SDS/5% 1-butanol containing ACN gradient from 0 to 30%, respectively. For micellar system, the separation was found to be better in gradient than isocratic elution. Additionally, the sensitivity of aqueous-organic LC was examined. The mobile phase was a mixture of ACN and water employing gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, with analysis time below 9 min. It was found that separation efficiency was significantly better compared with micellar LC. Besides, the aqueous-organic LC has been applied to separation of various phenolic compounds in Yangwei granule or Radix Astragali samples.
