Challenges in Pharmaceutical Analysis
• Pharmaceutical molecules are highly diverse: hydrophobicity, charge, size, etc.
• Most drug candidates are highly polar; many have poor chromophores. • Reversed-phase columns (e.g. C18) – the “work horse”
• Not suited for highly hydrophilic analytes
• Hydrophilic interaction (HILIC)/normal phase (NP) – the solution? • Solubility challenge • Sample matrix effect • Method ruggedness
• Ion exchange chromatography – good for charged analytes • Lack of retention for neutral analytes • Lack of selectivity for analytes with same charge
• Possible solution…

Mixed-Mode Chromatography
• Definition • Hydrophobic interaction + ion-exchange interaction
• Benefits • Adjustable selectivity • Simplified mobile phase (no ion-pairing reagents) • Simultaneous separation of different types of analytes
• Types • Anion-exchange/reversed-phase (AEX/RP) • Cation-exchange/reversed-phase (CEX/RP) • Anion-exchange/cation-exchange/reversed-phase (AEX/CEX/RP)

Challenge: API and Counter Ions
• Salt formation is important in drug development • 50% of all drugs are formulated as salt forms
• Challenges • RP: little or no retention for counter ion; little to adequate retention

Analyte particles with charged surface
• Charges remain on surface of analyte particles.
• Particles remain intact and do not ionize.
• The more surface area, the more charge is carried by the particle
