Impurity Study
Full characterization was performed against RLD, including FLP, CNET, ADP, IDP, N+P (mocG, mocA, moe meU, moe meC), N-P (mocG, mocA, moe meU, moe meC), 2'-MOE, 2'-O-EOE, Front elution, Post elution etc.
Sameness
- Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS):
- Determines the exact molecular weight of nusinersen to verify its chemical composition.
- Tandem MS (MS/MS) fragments the oligonucleotide to confirm its sequence integrity and identify any impurities or degradation products.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy:
- Validates the three-dimensional structure of nusinersen, ensuring correct base pairing and backbone conformation.
- Detects potential structural deviations or modifications.
- Liquid Chromatography (LC):
- Separates nusinersen from impurities, excipients, or process-related byproducts.
- Quantifies purity and monitors stability under storage conditions.
- Duplex Melting Temperature (Tm):
- Measures the thermal stability of the duplex formed between nusinersen and its complementary RNA strand.
- Reflects binding strength and hybridization efficiency, critical for its mechanism of action.
- Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy:
- Analyzes the secondary structure (e.g., A-form helix) of nusinersen.
- Ensures proper folding and conformational stability.
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC):
- Assesses thermal stability by measuring heat absorption during structural transitions (e.g., denaturation).
- Evaluates batch-to-batch consistency and formulation robustness.
- Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC):
- Determines the oligonucleotide size distribution and detects aggregates or fragments.
- Ensures nusinersen remains monomeric and within specified size limits.
- Sedimentation Velocity Analytical Ultracentrifugation (SV-AUC):
- Provides high-resolution analysis of molecular weight, shape, and aggregation state.
- Validates homogeneity and confirms the absence of higher-order aggregates.
