Separation and Characterization of Therapeutic Oligonucleotide Isomer Impurities by Cyclic Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic oligonucleotides such as antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) are among the most remarkable modalities in modern medicine. ASOs and siRNA are composed of single- or double-stranded 15-25 mer synthesized oligonucleotides, which can be used to modulate gene expression. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is a necessary technique for the quality control of therapeutic oligonucleotides; it is used to evaluate the quantities of target oligonucleotides and their impurities. The widely applied oligonucleotide therapeutic quantitation method uses both ultraviolet (UV) absorbance and the MS signal intensity. Peaks separated from the main peak, which contains full-length product, are generally quantitated by UV. However, coeluting impurities, such
