Abstract
The polar nature of nucleobases, nucleosides and nucleotides makes hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) a good choice of technology for separation. Both naturally occurring and modified nucleosides and nucleotides have been successfully separated in HILIC. A wide range of stationary phases with different retention and selectivity are suitable for the separation of nucleobases, nucleosides and nucleotides; and a sufficient knowledge base is also available to guide method development. Although oligonucleotides are significantly different from nucleotides in terms of polarity and charges, HILIC has been shown to be a viable alternative to ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography (IP-RPLC). Only a few polar stationary phases have been shown to provide satisfactory performance; however, the requirements for the mobile phase composition including organic solvent, mobile phase pH and salt concentration are sufficiently understood. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the chromatographic conditions with a historical perspective on adopting and developing HILIC for the separation of nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides. The areas for more research and potential directions for future development activities are identified and discussed.
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.
