Abstract - Post-column analyte trapping by solidphase extraction is the foundation of the novel and highly promising hyphenated method known as liquid chromatography–solid phase extraction–nuclear magnetic resonance (HPLC–SPE–

NMR). Deuterated solvents are then used to elute the analytes from the SPE cartridges. This aberrant HPLC-NMR hyphenation offers various benefits contrasted with direct HPLCNMR techniques. With multiple trapping, the amount of analytes that can be used in NMR is dramatically increased, which makes it possible to quickly acquire high-quality 2D NMR data. Databases and spectra catalogues are necessary for spectra comparisons due to the well-defined NMR solvent conditions.

Keywords: Solid Phase Extraction (SPE), NMR, and HPLC.

1 INTRODUCTION

The term "hyphenated techniques"

refers to online connections between chromatographs and spectrometers that have attracted attention in recent years as high-throughput analytical methods that simultaneously provide mixture separation and spectra of the various components. SPE is used for storage and post-column concentration, NMR is used for detection, and LC is used for separation in LC-SPE-NMR. The powerful method of NMR spectroscopy allows for the structural elucidation of organic molecules. As a result, analyte structure and complete assignments could be achieved through HPLC-NMR

coupling. However, when the analyte's eluted concentration from an HPLC column is insufficient.

In order to collect the eluting compounds from the HPLC onto the SPE cartridges, a Solid-phase Extraction unit was inserted between the NMR Spectrometer and the HPLC.

Using diluted solvent, each of the trapped compounds was eluted into the NMR probe. The elutropic power and hydrogen bonding capacity of the NMR solvent have a significant impact on analyzer release from the SPE, making acetonitrile and methanol prime candidates. The utilization of HPLC/SPE/NMR can yield results that are very interesting.

The offline combination of HPLC–SPE tube–NMR is typically used. This means that the flexibility of tube NMR and the advantage of automating, reproducible, and conserving the transfer of a chromatographic peak to a NMR solvent make it possible to use the best spectrometer available. It is possible to perform chromatographic separation using inexpensive nondeuterated solvents or even additives that are incompatible with NMR spectroscopy.

1.1 Features

 Since the eluent does not contain any D2O, there is no H-D exchange during the chromatographic procedure, resulting in accurate mass information.

 Very little amounts (around For the transfer, deuterated solvents (300 ml) are required.

 A small amount of liquid from the SPE cartridge (about 30 l) is used to elute the entire sample.

Especially for broader peaks, this concentration effect results in a significant increase in sensitivity of 2 to 4.

 The amount and concentration of a sample can be further

increased through multiple collections from subsequent chromatographic separations, increasing the sensitivity by ten or more.

 The deuterated solvent that is used for the elution and transfer is not affected by the chromatographic conditions and can be chosen to make exchangeable protons observable in the NMR and improve the spectral quality.

2 ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS

• An improved NMR signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and a number of other practical benefits accrue when an automated SPE unit is incorporated into an HPLC–NMR system for peak trapping. The catching productivity is displayed to rely upon compound extremity and is most elevated for compounds eluting late on switched stage HPLC frameworks. Again, for less polar compounds, multiple peak trapping yields the best results, further increasing the S/N.

• The method's independence from the NMR step makes it more adaptable than conventional

and NMR solvents that can be utilized.

• The primary benefit of HPLC–

SPE–NMR is the ability to focus analyte peaks after HPLC to match the volume of the NMR probe flow cell using a trapping device based on SPE. However, this necessitates optimal SPE trapping and elution conditions that must be optimized instance- by-instance at least for each analyte class.

• A promising candidate parameter for assay improvement is the quantity and composition of the post-HPLC added makeup flow used to promote analyte binding to the SPE stationary phase during the trapping procedure.

Analyte discharge from the SPE is unequivocally affected by both the elutropic power and the hydrogen holding limit of the NMR dissolvable (like methanol and acetonitrile).

• As stationary SPE phases, divenylbenzene (DVB)-type polymers and RP–C18 silica are frequently utilized, with 1–2 mL/min H2O serving as the post-HPLC makeup solvent. Most published applications have been successful under these conditions. Alkaloids and organic acids, for example, are charged or polar analytes with potential drawbacks. These applications may benefit from the use of modified SPE phases, such as porous carbon materials or SAX or SCX materials. Although it is possible to trap multiple analytes in a single SPE cartridge,

significant differences in the effectiveness of the various stationary phase materials have been observed.

• The analytes were eluted from the SPE cartridge using CD3CN (deuterated acetonitrile) and CD3OD (deuterated methanol).

In addition, deuterated NMR solvents lessen the requirement for solvent signal suppression, which in LC–NMR typically results in the loss of useful spectral information in the vicinity of the solvent signals. 1 H NMR spectra can even be recorded without solvent suppression if multiple SPE trapping is used. Thus, a critical improvement in the nature of the NMR spectra got is noticed.

• HPLC–SPE–NMR can be performed with mobile phase systems that are typically utilized in high performance liquid chromatography diode array detection mass spectrometry (HPLC–DAD–MS/MS) setups.

Any solvent mixture or buffer additive can be used, but volatile additives with few or no NMR signals, like formic acid, acetic acid, and their volatile ammonium salts, should be used to avoid precipitation in valves and capillaries. The use of semi- preparative HPLC equipment is typically not required due to the possibility of multiple SPE trappings.

3 APPLICATIONS

• For pharmaceutical impurity analysis, simple sample enrichment methods and HPLC–

because the trapping step typically gets rid of impurities like salts and acids from previous preparative chromatographic operations.

• The black pepper petroleum ether extract was able to contain both piperine and two piperine analogues (MAO-A inhibitors) thanks to the HPLC–SPE–

NMR/high-resolution MAO-A inhibition assay platform.

• Quantification and structural elucidation of the phenolic conjugates found in human urine following tea consumption.

• Reverberation spectroscopy for the examination of debasement results of V-class nerve specialists and nitrogen mustard.

• The primary use of HPLC–SPE–

NMR right now is for the analysis of natural products. The confirmative HPLC–SPE–NMR analysis of known abundant secondary metabolites in unstudied plant species saves time and money by not requiring the preparation of milligram quantities for conventional tube NMR.

4 CONCLUSION

HPLC–SPE–NMR is a great technology for combining chromatography as the sample preparation and analyte separation step with NMR spectroscopy, which is necessary to characterize the structure of organic analytes. Concentrating chromatographic peaks to elution volumes that match NMR flow probes is possible with it. As a result, even

chromatographic separation systems with less-than-ideal peak shapes (such as as a result of sample overload or other assay limitations, as is frequently the case with alkaloids), can be successfully transferred to the NMR instrument. Spectra can be compared using HPLC–SPE–NMR;

Analyte identification can be done quickly using databases and spectra catalogues.
