Reversed-phase HPLC, purification

This group, used for 5 -phosphate protection, has hydrophobicity similar to that of the dimethoxytrityl group and thus was expected to assist in reverse-phase HPLC purification of product from failure sequences in oligonucleotide synthesis. The group is cleaved with Bu4N F in DMSO at 70°. ... 

This highly lipophilic group is cleaved with isoamyl nitrite in Pyr/AcOH. The use of a lipophilic 5 -phosphate protective group aids in reverse-phase HPLC purification of oligonucleotides. 

In the current era many medicinal chemists are unaware of the very important role of compound soUd state properties on aqueous solubility and therefore to oral absorption. In many organizations compound purification by crystallization has disappeared being replaced by automated reverse-phase HPLC purification. If medicinal chemists isolate a compound as a white powder from evaporation of... 

Preparative reversed-phase HPLC purification was carried out using Gilson liquid handlers and HPLC equipment controlled by Unipoint Version 3.2 software. Initial and final HPLC gradient... 

Stir vigorously the solution at room temperature for 12 h to incorporate atmospheric oxygen into the solution. Ideally, disulfide bridge formation should be monitored by reverse phase HPLC. Purification (step 4) should be performed immediately after the end of the reaction. 

This chapter describes a simple one-pot procedure that utilizes a short preincubation step with dilute ammonium hydroxide, followed by treatment with ethylenediamine. The reaction is stopped by dilution and neutralization to yield a solution ready for reverse-phase HPLC purification or other purification method. The purpose of the ammonium hydroxide step in this method is to hydrolyze minor modifications on dG residues that can occur when DMAP is used as the capping catalyst (14). 

At this time, the sample is ready for reverse-phase HPLC purification. If another punfication (such as DEAE) is desired, the sample can be desalted using the following technique ...

If the hGH is exported to the culture medium the product can easily be collected by removal of the cells from the culture medium by centrifiigation. Purification of hGH from the culture medium is faciUtated by low amounts of contaminating proteins present. In fact, it has been shown that hGH can be purified on a laboratory scale by a single purification step on a reversed-phase hplc column (43). Mammalian cells growing in tissue culture have also been used as hosts to produce hGH, which is exported into the culture media (44). 

Recovery and Purification. The dalbaheptides are present in both the fermentation broth and the mycelial mass, from which they can be extracted with acetone or methanol, or by raising the pH of the harvested material, eg, to a pH of 10.5—11 for A47934 (16) (44) and A41030 (41) and actaplanin (Table 2) (28). A detailed review on the isolation of dalbaheptides has been written (14). Recovery from aqueous solution is made by ion pair (avoparcin) or butanol (teicoplanin) extraction. The described isolation schemes use ion-exchange matrices such as Dowex and Amberlite IR, acidic alumina, cross-linked polymeric adsorbents such as Diaion HP and Amberlite XAD, cation-exchange dextran gel (Sephadex), and polyamides in various sequences. Reverse-phase hplc, ion-exchange, or affinity resins may be used for further purification (14,89). 

Purification of the activation products (PMs). The methylamine activation product dissolved in methanol is purified by chromatography, first on a column of silica gel using a mixed solvent of chloroform/ethanol, followed by reversed-phase HPLC on a column of divinylbenzene resin (such as Jordi Reversed-Phase and Hamilton PRP-1) using various solvent systems suitable for the target substance (for example, acetonitrile/water containing 0.15% acetic acid). 

Purification of the conjugates may be done by reverse phase HPLC separation. Dry the reaction solution under a nitrogen stream and reconstitute in a minimum volume of acetonitrile/water (1 1, v/v). Apply the sample to a 5 pm Cig-silica HPLC column (250 X 4.6 mm, Nucleosil). Elute with a gradient of water to acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1 ml/minute over a time course of 30 minutes. Free BNAH and BNAH-glycan derivatives can be monitored by absorbance at 275 nm. The conjugate peak also will be positive for carbohydrate by reaction with orcinol, which can be detected by spray after spotting a small eluted sample on a TLC plate. 

The actual Amb a 1 concentration of the extract can be quantitated using a reversed-phase HPLC method developed at Dynavax. This is a custom two-step method that employs chromatography to separate the Amb a 1 from the other extracted proteins. The Amb a 1 concentration is then determined from the resolved Amb a 1 peak area and a standard curve of purified Amb a 1. This is the only step at which the Amb a 1 concentration of the process material is measured by a two-step process. Following the extraction step, the Amb a 1 rapidly becomes enriched over two purification steps, and the Bradford assay adequately reflects Amb a 1 concentration through the remainder of the process. 

A clean-up process-scale reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) step has been introduced into production of human insulin prb. The C8 or C18 RP-HPLC column used displays an internal volume of 801 or more, and up to 1200 g of insulin may be loaded during a single purification run (Figure 8.7). Separation is achieved using an acidic (often acetic acid-based) mobile phase (i.e. set at a pH value sufficiently below the insulin pi value of 5.3 in order to keep it fully in solution). The insulin is usually loaded in the water-rich acidic mobile phase, followed by gradient elution using acetonitrile (insulin typically elutes at 15-30% acetonitrile).
