Figure 1
The analysis of polar, ionic metabolites is important for drug discovery and biomarker research. Often times, it is necessary to separate these metabolites from each other and biological matrixes prior to MS detection (1).

Experimental and Results


Figure 2
All data was generated with semi-micro HPLC system equipped with UV or ELS detection. Solutes were separated using LC–MS compatible conditions on Unison UK-C18 (conventional ODS) and Scherzo SM-C18 (Multi-Mode ODS consisting of ODS + anion + cation ligands, Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the separation of a steroid hormone from its metabolites. 17b-estradiol (neutral) showed similar retention on both phases — indicating reversed-phase is the main mode of retention. The glucuronide and disulfate metabolites are poorly retained on conventional ODS, but show improved retention on Scherzo SM-C18 (due to anion exchange). Figure 3 shows the separation of mevalonic acid and mevalonolactone. Mevalonic acid shows improved retention on Scherzo SM-C18 due to anion exchange. Figure 4 shows the separation of glutathiones (both reduced and oxidized forms). These compounds are difficult to separate on conventional ODS, but show improved retention/separation on the Multi-Mode ODS (cation + anion exchange).

Conclusion


Figure 4
Scherzo SM-C18 (Multi-Mode ODS) shows improved selectivity for polar metabolites over conventional ODS. This column should be useful for scientists who work with polar metabolites, as well as those who require an ODS column with different selectivity.
