Phenyl SPE: A Promising Alternative to More Common Oligonucleotide Extraction

Chemical modifications made to oligonucleotides can assist in absorption, distribution, and metabolism. While many oligonucleotide-based drugs share similarities in extraction and ionization techniques, the properties of the matrix itself are often overlooked. The extraction of a variety of oligonucleotides using a standard Clarity OTX solid phase extraction plate has been more commonplace in bioanalytical laboratories. These plates have been shown to isolate RNA and DNA-based therapeutics from biological fluids and tissues in a short period of time with high recovery percentages and standard extraction buffers. Here we show an alternate extraction method for a novel antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) in spinal cord and brain tissues.

Originally, acceptable and reproducible results were obtained by using a Clarity OTX SPE plate with non-human primate cerebral spinal fluid and brain tissue homogenate. The extraction was modified in mouse brain tissue to a liquid-liquid method involving phenol-chloroform. Further optimization in spinal cord tissue, however, required a more robust method using a phenyl solid-phase extraction (SPE) plate, triethylammonium acetate buffer (TEAA), and a protein precipitation filter plate.

LBA vs LC-MS: competing technologies at a development crossroad

The Aliri team recently hosted this webinar to discuss why so many sponsors are now reconsidering the use of Ligand-Binding Assays (LBA) for the vast majority of large molecule protein analysis given the many compelling benefits Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) can provide in terms of speed, cost, and data specificity.

Watch this on-demand webinar with bioanalytical experts Shane Karnik, MS, and Matt Hartle, PhD, to learn more about the changing market landscape, pros and cons for each technology, and why you should consider LC-MS over LBA for your next large molecule program.

This webinar also explores:
• advancements in biomarker discovery, validation and quantification using LC-MS technologies, and
• complexities of analyzing transgenic expressed proteins, focusing on the differences between human and endogenous proteins, with a special emphasis on mRNA drugs.
