ABSTRACT
Organic synthesis could be very demanding, usually due to difficulties related to the separation of main reaction products from by-products. Steroidal compounds could have similar lipophilicity, which is mostly based on the lipophilicity of the steroidal core. This causes many problems during purification, i.e. in obtaining a pure single steroidal compound. In this research, a group of bile acid derivatives were subjected to HPLC analysis using four experimental systems, which presented combinations of C18 and F5 columns with methanol-water and acetonitrile-water as mobile phases. Retention parameters and retention order of the compounds were established and indicated that all experimental systems could be applicable in order to separate and/or purify some individual compounds or a mixture of a few compounds. However, the only experimental system that could separate a mixture of all investigated derivatives proved to be a C18 column with acetonitrile-water as a mobile phase. Since complex interactions between F5 column and the analytes exist, molecular surface polarity (MSP) was tested as a lipophilicity parameter, and also compared with logP using multivariate statistics. Retention parameters obtained on F5 column were used as descriptors, both with MSP and with logP, concluding that logP has shown to be a better lipophilicity descriptor.
