Abstract
The relatively large molecular size, diastereoisomeric nature, and complex impurity profiles of therapeutic phosphorothioate oligonucleotides create significant analytical challenges for the quality control laboratory. To overcome the lack of selectivity inherent to traditional chromatographic approaches, an ion pair liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) method combining ultraviolet and mass spectrometry quantification was developed and validated for >35 different oligonucleotide drug substances and products, including several commercialized drugs. The selection of chromatographic and spectrometric conditions, data acquisition and processing, critical aspects of sample and buffer preparation and instrument maintenance, and results from method validation experiments are discussed.
