1. Introduction
2. Basic characteristic of ShodexTM OHpak SB-800 HQ
Pharmaceutical-relevant polymers are active ingredients comparable to chondroitin sulfate or heparin, as well as pharmaceutical excipients. The pharmaceutical excipients are classified into several classes: binder, excipient, disintegrant, thickening agent and coating agent. Many different polymers are used as pharmaceutical excipients.Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is useful for the analysis of polymers. This technical notebook introduces pharmaceutical applications with polymer-based aqueous SEC columns: ShodexTM OHpak SB-800 HQ series.

3. Separation mechanism of size exclusion chromatography (SEC)
The packing material has pores or small cavities on the surface allowing the analytes elute by entering through the pores. The separation mechanism is shown in the figure 3. The analytes are diffused through the pores while larger substances cannot enter into the pores. Samples above the exclusion limit pass outside the packing material and elute from the column over the exclusion limit. Samples smaller than the pores can diffuse into the pores and move to the outside of the packing material. Within the cone like opening, the pore sizes decrease deeper into the opening. The SEC mechanism described above allows the analytes elute in order of size.Assuming that there is no interaction between the packing material and the analyte, the separation mode of SEC depends on the molecular size of the substances making it possible to measure the molecular size and the molecular distribution of polymers.
• Substances are eluted in decreasing order of molecular size.• There is no interaction with the packing material.

4. Analysis of pharmaceutical excipients
In USP 39 (General Information Chapter, <1078> Good Manufacturing Practices for Bulk Pharmaceutical Excipients), “Pharmaceutical excipients are substances other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that have been appropriately evaluated for safety and are intentionally included in a drug delivery system. For example, excipients can do the following :
- aid in the processing of the drug delivery system during its manufacture,- protect, support, or enhance stability, bioavailability, or patient acceptability,- assist in product identification, and- enhance any other attribute of the overall safety, effectiveness, or delivery of the drug during storage or use.”
“Type” and “purpose of use” of typical pharmaceutical excipients are shown below.
When the dose of an active ingredient is small, it is added for giving a certain size and a weight for the preparation. Most of cases, the excipient is used not only for increasing the size and the weight but also for the purpose of a binder and a disintegrant.
(Main polymer)Starch, Dextrin, Microcrystalline cellulose, Hydroxypropyl cellulose, Carmellose, Calcium carmellose, Macrogol 20000, etc.
3-2. Precautions for polar polymer analysis
Interactions between the analyte and the packing materials
Hydrophobic interaction The analyte is adsorbed into the packing material. This delays the analyte elution, and thus results in under estimation of its molecular weight (Figure B, D).
Ionic interaction(1) Ion Exclusion The analyte is repelled from the packing material. This accelerates the analyte elution, and thus results in over estimation of its molecular weight (Figure A, C).(2) Ion Exchange The analyte is adsorbed onto the packing material. This delays the analyte elution, and thus results in under estimation of its molecular weight (Figure B, D).
Size exclusion chromatography analysis of polar polymers can be influenced by unexpected interactions in the column.These interactions may change elution patterns and results in an invalid molecular weight calculation.It is important to reduce them in order to obtain the accurate molecular weight distribution.
Interaction within and between the analyte
Ionic repulsion effects observed within the multivalent macromolecules causes structure expansion This accelerates the analyte elution, and thus results in over estimation of its molecular weight (Figure A).
Association between the molecules Associated molecule detected as a larger molecule (Figure A).
Interactions between the analyte and the solvent
The multivalent ion of the solvent works as a bridge to bind ionic molecules (analyte).

4-2. Cellulose-type excipient
Carmellose Other name : Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)
Carmellose (Carboxymethyl cellulose) can be used as a binder for tablets, disintegrant or a stabilizer. With these uses, it is widely used in cosmetics and foods. Carmellose is an anionic polysaccharide with carboxyl groups. Anionic samples may elute earlier due to ion exclusion interaction between the sample and packing materials hence leading to a larger than expected calculated molecular weight. The addition of salt to the eluent will decrease the ion exclusion interactions. The effect of increased salt concentration in the eluent is shown for the analysis of carmellose. It was confirmed that peak shape stabilized at a concentration ≥ 50mM NaCl.
Chromatograms of carboxymethyl cellulose of three different viscosities is shown in Figure 6.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose
Hydroxyethyl cellulose, a nonionic polysaccharide, can be used as a binder, thickening agent, as well as other applications. When analyzing a highly polar polymer, the chromatogram may be abnormal due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The addition of salt to the eluent will decrease the hydrogen bonding interactions, improving the chromatogram. When water is used as the eluent, hydroxyethyl cellulose is quickly eluted and the chromatogram shows three peaks. The peak shape of hydroxyethyl cellulose stabilizes best at low salt concentration.

Chitosan is used as a coating agent, a disintegrant, a binder, etc. Although chitosan has limited solubility in water it is easily dissolved in many organic acids, such as acetic acid. Chitosan may carry a positive charge in acetic acid solution and it may be adsorbed to the packing materials. Therefore, for reducing ion suppression between chitosan and the packing materials, sodium nitrate was added to the eluent.

Povidone
Povidone is a linear aqueous polymer composed of N-vinyl-2-pyrolidone, and is divided from K-10 to K-120 by viscosity. When povidone is analyzed using an aqueous eluent, the retention time is delayed or the peak area is lessened due to the hydrophobic interaction between povidone and the packing material. To compensate for the hydrophobic interaction, the addition of acetonitrile into the eluent has been found effective. Figure 20 shows the comparison of the peak shapes by changing the acetonitrile concentration of the eluent from 0% (only 0.1M NaCl solution) to 50%. In case of K-30, best results were obtained from 30% to 45% concentration, but the retention time was delayed with 50% acetonitrile because of the hydrophilic interaction between K-30 and the packing materials.

Excipients are pharmacologically inactive substances used as carriers for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). A significant amount (30-80% solid) of polymeric excipients such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxylpropyl cellulose (HPC), and povidone are generally used. Those excipients have very large molecular weights (MW) which is not suitable for the commonly used drug QC method by LC-MS. Whereas LC-IR is feasible of characterizing any polymeric excipients in all drug forms. OHpak SB-806M HQ was used to separate excipients and API based on their sizes. Then size-separated components were detected by IR which provides compositional fingerprinting information. The method is useful in the areas such as drug production quality control, drug deformulation, and/or counterfeit drug testing.Figure 22 shows there were cellulose (Peak A; MW=~485K Da) and two different MW povidones (Peak A; MW=~485K Da and Peak B; MW=~49K Da) used as excipients in the tested drug sample.Figure 23 shows there were HPC excipient having two different MW distributions (MW information not available).

Copovidone
Copovidone is co-polymer made by N-vinyl-2-pyrolidone and vinyl acetate, commonly used for coating agent or binder. Copovidone is insoluble in water, so dimethyl formamide (DMF) was used as the eluent with the addition of salt (lithium bromide) for optimal results. (Figure 24)
