Evaluating orthogonality between ion-pair reversed phase, anion exchange, and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography for the separation of synthetic oligonucleotides

Matthew J. Sorensen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the orthogonality between ion-pair reversed phase (IP-RP), anion exchange (AEX), and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) for the separation of oligonucleotides. The results showed that coupling HILIC with either AEX or IP-RP provided the highest degree of orthogonality.

Effect of ion-pairing reagent hydrophobicity on liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of oligonucleotides

Michael Donegan et al.

Summary: We systematically studied the performance of thirteen alkylamines as ion-pairing reagents for ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography (IP RP LC) and proposed a method to classify the hydrophobicity of alkylamines. The results showed that alkylamines with higher hydrophobicity allowed for effective separation of oligonucleotides at lower buffer concentrations, and replacing acetic acid with hexafluoroisopropanol improved the mass spectrometry signal.

Contribution of ionic interactions to stationary phase selectivity in hydrophilic interaction chromatography

Martin Gilar et al.

Summary: By comparing 19 different hydrophilic interaction chromatography columns, it was found that the selectivity differences strongly depended on ionic interactions. Columns with neutral stationary phases showed more similar selectivity compared to those with cation or anion exchange activity. Zwitterionic columns exhibited some degree of cation or anion exchange activity, but to a lesser extent than silica and amine-containing phases.

Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides separation in ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography: Effect of ion-pairing system

Zuzana Kadlecova et al.

Summary: Ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography was used to analyze native and phosphorothioate oligonucleotides with the same sequence but different amount and position of modifications. The nature and concentration of ion-pairing amines were found to significantly impact the retention, resolution, and diastereomeric separation of the oligonucleotides. Increasing hydrophobicity and concentration of ion-pairing amines improved the resolution of n and n-1 mers oligonucleotides, while amines with moderate hydrophobicity were most successful in suppressing diastereomeric resolution. However, a partial separation of phosphorothioate oligonucleotide diastereomers was observed with all ion-pairing systems, resulting in wider peaks compared to phosphorodiester oligonucleotides of the same sequence. The separation of oligonucleotides with different number of phosphorothioate modifications may be useful for therapeutic oligonucleotide analysis.

The impact of low adsorption surfaces for the analysis of DNA and RNA oligonucleotides

Honorine Lardeux et al.

Summary: As interest in oligonucleotide therapeutics is increasing, there is a need to develop suitable analytical methods to properly analyze these molecules. This study comprehensively evaluated various types of bioinert materials used in ion-pairing reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatography to mitigate the issue of adsorption of oligonucleotides on different parts of the instrumentation during their analysis. The results showed that the choice of column hardware had the most significant impact on the extent of non-specific adsorption, and bioinert RPLC/HILIC column hardware offered clear benefits in terms of adsorption compared to stainless-steel counterparts. This work represents an important advance in understanding the overall adsorption of oligonucleotides and provides guidance for the best combination of materials when analyzing DNA and RNA.

Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides separation in ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography: effect of temperature

Zuzana Kadlecova et al.

Summary: The analysis of diastereomers of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides in ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography is influenced by the ion-pairing system, concentration, and temperature. This study investigated the effects of temperature on retention, diastereomeric separation, and resolution of mers of different length and phosphorothioate oligonucleotides with different linkages. The results showed that increased temperature suppresses diastereomeric separation but improves the resolution of n and n-1 mers.

Separation of phosphorothioate oligonucleotide impurities by WAX HPLC under high organic content elution conditions

Stilianos G. Roussis et al.

Summary: The separation of impurities in phosphorothioate diester (PS) oligonucleotides is complicated due to the presence of numerous diastereoisomers, peak broadening caused by the hydrophobic sulfur atom, and chemical similarity among impurities and parent oligonucleotide. A novel weak anion exchange (WAX) column method has been developed to minimize hydrophobic interactions and peak broadening in PS modification. The high-organic, low-salt mobile phase required for product elution contributes to the efficacy of this method. The WAX method achieves a high degree of separation compared to strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography, and for the first time, the extent of deamination of PS oligonucleotides is determined solely by chromatography.

Characterizing the Diastereoisomeric Distribution of Phosphorothioate Oligonucleotides by Metal Ion Complexation Chromatography, In-Series Reversed Phase-Strong Anion Exchange Chromatography, and 31P NMR

Stilianos G. Roussis et al.

Summary: Substitution of an oxygen atom with sulfur in the phosphate diester linkage of oligonucleotide leads to increased nuclease resistance and enhanced protein binding, while also resulting in complex mixtures of diastereoisomers. Chromatographic separation of diastereoisomers in oligonucleotides with phosphorothioate diester linkages is currently limited to those with only four or five PS linkages.

Evaluating the interplay among stationary phases/ion-pairing reagents/ sequences for liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis of oligonucleotides

Xiaochan Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, the correlation among stationary phases, ion-pairing reagents, and sequences for the analysis of oligonucleotide (ODN) using ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was evaluated with C18 columns. It was found that silica-based porous particles retained ODN the strongest, while hexylamine produced the longest retention for all ODNs among the six ion-pairing reagents. Additionally, the separation ability of C18 columns depends on the type of ion-pairing reagent and ODN sequences, with little impact of particle type on signals of ODNs for most synthetic sequences.
