Abstract

Many successive liquid-liquid extractions occur enabling purification of the crude material to occur. In high performance counter-current chromatography (HPCCC), crude material is partitioned between two immiscible layers of solvent phases. The stationary phase (SP) is retained by hydrodynamic force field effect and the mobile phase (MP) is pumped through the column. Purification occurs because of the different solubility of the components in the liquid mobile and stationary phases. There are many key benefits of liquid stationary phases such as high mass and volume injection loadings, total sample recovery, and easy scale-up. Many researchers showed that predictable scale-up from simple test is feasible with knowledge of the stationary phase retention for the planned process scale run. In this review we review the recent advances in HPCCC research and also describe the key applications such as natural products and synthetics (small or large molecules).

역류크로마토그래피 (counter-current chromatography, CCC)는 일련의 분배과정을 한 개의 튜브 내에서 연속적으로 일어나도록 고안된 시스템으로서 컬럼으로는 polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) 튜브가 다층으로 감겨있는 원통형의 홀더 3개가 서로 기어를 통해 물려있으며, 홀더가 회전과 공전을 통해 튜브의 꼬임을 방지하는 rotary seal-free flow centrifuge 시스템으로 되어있다. 역상 HPLC (reverse phase HPLC)에서는 고정상이 실리카에 결합된 유기물단 (organic moiety)이 수용성 이동상 물질에 의해서 용매화 (solvated)되는 반면 CCC는 실리카 대신에 강한 중력장에 의해 분리되는 자유로운 용매가 고정상이 되며 이 고정상의 부피비율은 20-30%에 이른다. 즉 고체담체에 결합된 유기관능기 대신에 물과 섞이지 않는 hexane 같은 유기용제가 고정상으로 사용되는 것이다. 고속역류크로마토그래피 (high-performance countercurrent chromatography, HPCCC)는 CCC의 기능을 향상시킨 분리시스템으로서 높은 중력장하에서 높은 이동상 속도와 높은 분리효율과 짧은 분리시간을 특징으로 하고 있다. 특히 mg 단위에서 kg 단위로의 스케일업이 선형적으로 가능하다는 큰 장점을 지니고 있다. 이 총설에서는 현재까지 개발된 CCC의 일반적인 이론을 간략히 정리하고 최신 HPCCC 장비의 적용 예를 살펴보고 그 응용분야로서 생리활성물질의 분리 및 정제와 관련된 연구동향을 정리하였다.
