    Abstract:
    Ion-pairing reversed-phase liquid chromatography was utilized for the analysis of native and phosphorothioated oligonucleotides differing in the length (2-6mers and 21mer) and the number and position of phosphorothioate modifications. We investigated the influence of counterion (acetate vs. hexafluoroisopropanol) on the adsorption of eleven alkylamines on the stationary phases. A stronger adsorption of charged alkylamines on octadecyl- and phenyl-based stationary phases led to greater retention of oligonucleotides, and the adsorption of alkylamines was promoted with greater concentration of hexafluoroisopropanol in the mobile phase. Selected amines (triethylamine, dipropylamine, hexylamine) were used to study the resolution of n and n-x mers (main peak and its impurities shortened at 5´end), and diastereomeric separation of phosphorothioated oligonucleotides. The results confirmed a crucial role of alkylamine and counterion choice on the diastereomeric separation. The increasing hydrophobicity of alkylamine led to diminished diastereomeric selectivity which produced narrower phosphorothioated oligonucleotides peaks and led to improved n/n-x separation. Using hexafluoroisopropanol instead of acetate as counterion further enhances this effect (except for 100 mM concentration of hexafluoroisopropanol in combination with highly hydrophobic hexylamine). The elevated column temperature led to suppression of the diastereomeric resolution and improved resolution of n and n-x mers oligonucleotides. Baseline separation of oligonucleotides with different number of phosphorothioate linkages was achieved; this may be useful for therapeutic oligonucleotide analysis.
