4-Aminosalicylic acid (PAS) is an antibiotic used in treatment of tuberculosis. It is a polar amino acid with limited retention on traditional C18 (reversed-phase) columns. Other isomers of aminosalicylic acid exist, but the main impurity in PAS is 5-Aminosalicylic acid, which also serves as anti-inflammatory drug. Both compounds are isomers with similar empirical structure and properties. These two isomers were separated on a Primesep 100 column with UV, ELSD and LC/MS compatible mobile phase. Method can be used a generic approach for separation of isomers of basic and zwitter ionic compounds. Isomers are retained and separated based on reversed-phase and cation-exchange properties. Retention time is controlled by the amount of acetonitrile, buffer concentration and buffer pH. Buffer pH is affecting ionization of these two compounds and thus serves as a powerful tool to adjust selectivity of separation.

Application Column
Newcrom A
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.

Primesep 100
The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
