Separation of phenyl acetic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid applying aqueous two-phase systems based on copolymers and salts.

ABSTRACT: 6-Aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) is used for synthesis of semisynthetic antibiotics. Polymer-salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) were applied for separation of 6-APA and phenyl acetic acid (PAA), as the products of hydrolyzation reaction of Penicillin G/Penicillin V. The binodal curves of ATPS composed of a copolymer (reverse Pluronic 10R5, Pluronic L35 and PEG-ran-PPG) and a salt (Tri-sodium citrate, tri-potassium citrate, di-potassium phosphate, sodium sulphate and magnesium sulphate) were obtained. The results show that, at a fixed PPG/PEG ratio, block copolymers have larger two-phase region compared with random copolymer. After screening on the partition coefficient of PAA and 6-APA separately, Na₂SO₄ was selected for studying the effect of the copolymer struct
