A HPLC separation module Waters
® e2695 equipped with a
Waters 2996 PDA Detector (Waters Corp., Milford, MA, USA) were used. A chromatographic column Symmetry
® C
18 5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm, Part No. W21751W016 (Waters Corp.) was used. The HPLC separation process was monitored by the Empower
™ 3 Chromatography Data Software (Waters Corp.). Isocratic elution by a mixture of MeOH p.a. (72%) and H
2O-HPLC Mili-Q grade (28%) as a mobile phase was used. The total flow of the column was 1.0 mL/min, injection 5 μL, column temperature 40 °C, and sample temperature 10 °C. The detection wavelength 214 nm was chosen. The KI methanolic solution was used for the determination of dead time (t
D). Retention times (
tR) were measured in minutes. The capacity factors
k were calculated using the Empower
™ 3 Chromatography Data Software according to the formula
k = (
tR −
tD)/
tD, where
tR is the retention time of the solute, while
tD is the dead time obtained using an unretained analyte. Each experiment was repeated three times. Log
k, calculated from the capacity factor
k, is used as the lipophilicity index converted to log
P scale [36 ]. The log
k values of individual compounds are shown in
Table 1.
