The addition of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to hydro-organic mixtures of methanol, ethanol, propanol or acetonitrile with water yielded enhanced peak shape (i.e. increased efficiencies and symmetrical peaks) for a group of basic drugs (β-blockers) chromatographed with a Kromasil C18 column. The effect can be explained by the thin layer of surfactant associated to the hydrocarbon chain on the stationary phase in the presence of the organic solvents, which covers the free silanols on the siliceous support avoiding their interaction with the cationic basic drugs. These instead interact with the anionic head of the surfactant increasing their retention and allowing a more facile mass transfer. The peak shape behaviour with the four organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, propanol and acetonitrile) was checked in the presence and absence of SDS. The changes in peak broadening rate and symmetry inside the chromatographic column were assessed through the construction of peak half-width plots (linear relationships between the left and right half-widths at 10% peak height versus the retention time). The examination of the behaviour for a wide range of compositions indicated that the effect of acetonitrile in the presence of SDS is different from ethanol and propanol, which behave similarly. Acetonitrile seems to be superior to the alcohols in terms of peak shape, which can be interpreted by the larger reduction in the adsorbed surfactant layer on the C18 column. However, the decreased efficiencies observed at increasing surfactant concentration in the mobile phase should be explained by the reduction in retention times, more than by a change in the stationary phase nature. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
