  • Title: Chemochromatography: its use for the separation of nikkomycins X and Z.
    Author: Krainer E, Khare RK, Naider F, Becker JM.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 1987 Jan; 160(1):233-9. PubMed ID: 3565754.
    Abstract:
    A novel mode of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in which the mobile phase reacts chemically with the compounds to be separated was developed. Nikkomycin X and nikkomycin Z, two natural isomeric nucleoside peptide antibiotics, move as a single peak on a C18 reversed-phase column using an aqueous trifluoroacetic acid mobile phase. Addition of sodium bisulfite (1.0%) to the mobile phase results in the formation of a polar bisulfite addition product with nikkomycin X, but not with nikkomycin Z, inside the HPLC column. This type of reactive chromatography, or chemochromatography, led to the analytical and preparative separation of nikkomycins X and Z which are normally very intractable to separation by conventional chromatographic techniques.
