Abstract
In this paper, we describe denaturing and non-denaturing ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) methods for analyzing small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA). Drug formulations consisting of one or two siRNA duplexes were analyzed in non-denaturing conditions at a low column temperature to separate intact duplexes from single-stranded oligonucleotide contaminants and quantify them. In a denaturing method, we used an elevated column temperature to ensure the denaturation of siRNA duplexes into their single-stranded oligonucleotide counterparts. The goal of the denaturing LC method was to investigate the impurities in daughter oligonucleotides in siRNA. A column with chemically modified C18 column hardware showed improvements in analytical performance for nucleic acids compared to a conventional C18 stainless-steel column with the same pore size.
