Abstract
A simple, rapid and sensitive method has been developed and validated for the analysis of a mixed-backbone oligonucleotide (GEM 231) in tumor tissues. The analysis was performed using a capillary electrophoresis (CE) system with UV detection. An extended light path (bubble cell) capillary column of 64.5 cm (effective length 56 cm)×50 μm I.D. is used as the separation column. The optimized chromatographic conditions were background electrolyte: sodium borate buffer (60 m M, pH 9.1), electrokinetic injection: 10 s, applied voltage: 30 kV, detection at λ=210 nm. A linear relationship was observed between the peak area and the amount of GEM 231 in the range of 1.0–1000 μg/ml. The lower detection limit of the drug was 100 pg with an average recovery of about 75±5%. The inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations were <10%. Assay validation studies revealed that CE method is reproducible and specific for the determination of GEM 231 in tissue homogenates with a run time of less than 5 min.
