Popis: Experiments were performed to evaluate whether counter-current chromatography (CCC) could function as an alternative purification method to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and normal-phase supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). RP-HPLC and SFC are the routine methods currently used in our high-throughput purification (HTP) facility for the purification of high-throughput organic synthesis (HTOS) libraries and medicinal chemistry reaction mixtures. Pre-equilibration of the solvent mixture layers was not mandatory for effective chromatography when hexanes–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (HEMW) solvent mixtures were used. Key to the use of CCC for high-throughput applications is the ability to effectively select a solvent system appropriate to each library member. Pilot-scale CCC elution time was used to estimate a starting solvent ratio and RP-HPLC retention time was then used to adjust solvent ratios within a particular library. It was also found that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and DMSO–methanol were suitable as sample injection solvents when using the HEMW solvent systems.
