HPLC of PEGylated antisense strand (5) after purification. Semi-preparative reversed phase HPLC with a linear gradient of acetonitrile (8–30% in 30 min) in TEAA buffer was used for separation of PEGylated siRNA oligonucleotides 5 and 6 from unreacted educts (3 and 4) and NHS-PEG12. Analytical HPLC of the respective fractions with the same conditions confirmed the successful purification and high purity of the isolated compound.
