This article describes the purification and scale-up of ISIS 2302, a 20-mer
phosphorothioate oligonucleotide by anion-exchange (AX) chromatography. Th
e key operating parameters were optimized at gram scale and further scaled
up to hundred gram. SOURCE 30Q, a high efficiency polymeric chromatographic
media was used for both the small and large-scale work. High length-based
purity and yield were maintained at scale-up. This purification is one of t
he largest demonstrations of AX purification of phosphorothioate oligonucle
otide.
