Sequencing of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is reported. The MS/MS analysis was performed using a quadrupole/time-of-flight (Q-ToF) mass analyzer and collision induced dissociation (CID) in negative ion mode. To improve MS sensitivity in negative ion mode, HILIC conditions, including the separation column, mobile phases, and MS parameters, were optimized. Using the developed HILIC-CID-MS/MS method, 100% sequence coverage was achieved for PMOs ranging from 18-mer to 25-mer. Additionally, the method was successfully applied to identifying positional isomers of n - 1 deletion impurities present in PMO drug substances. |
