Abstract
Therapeutic oligonucleotides are becoming an important class of therapeutics. Their manufacturing processes can result in the formation of impurities, particularly truncated species. To ensure the quality and safety of the product, it is crucial to evaluate the presence of these species. Liquid chromatography analysis enables such purity determination. In this context, a recently described weak anion exchange chromatography method was optimized to allow the effective separation of different impurities. The optimization addressed the complexity and instability of the mobile phases, which contained salts and organic compounds. Adjustments were made to the mobile phase composition and gradient to meet the requirements of QC laboratories. Additionally, to ensure the method's reliability, a robustness study was conducted based on a risk assessment. Five factors were considered potential risks and were assessed experimentally on different chromatographic outputs. This led to the definition of a robust space, ensuring the method's reliability for the purity determination of oligonucleotides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography A provides a forum for the publication of original research and critical reviews on all aspects of fundamental and applied separation science. The scope of the journal includes chromatography and related techniques, electromigration techniques (e.g. electrophoresis, electrochromatography), hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, sample preparation, and detection methods such as mass spectrometry. Contributions consist mainly of research papers dealing with the theory of separation methods, instrumental developments and analytical and preparative applications of general interest.
