Abstract
Description
A monolithic column modified with mercaptopyridine
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024105777513, filed on May 10, 2024. The entire contents of the aforementioned Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to a monolithic column material. More specifically, it relates to a monolithic column material for nucleic acid enrichment and separation. Background Technology
[0003] Currently, the separation and purification of biomolecules primarily utilizes chromatographic microspheres for surface ligand modification to achieve separation and purification with different functions, yielding relatively pure molecules for use as pharmaceutical and diagnostic reagents, raw materials in biochemical processes, and additives in food and cosmetics. However, microsphere media as a stationary phase have the following drawbacks: 1) The pore distribution is relatively small, resulting in poor separation ability for larger biomolecules; 2) The diffusion effect of chromatographic microspheres is significant, requiring a long retention time to fully diffuse to the theoretical specific surface area of the microspheres, which takes even longer for biomolecules; 3) The operating pressure of microsphere-packed chromatographic columns is relatively high, which is not conducive to the efficient operation of the system.
[0004] Monolithic column technology is a new generation of chromatographic stationary phases developed in recent years. Currently, it offers significant advantages over traditional porous microsphere-packed media for the rapid separation and purification of biomolecules. A monolithic column consists of a single, highly interconnected channel within which fluid flows. The monolithic column matrix is made of polymer, and the average diameter of its internal channels is 2 μm. Inside the monolithic column, each channel is connected to dozens of other channels. This high connectivity facilitates uniform fluid distribution, reduces operating pressure, and enables high flow rates and low column pressures.
[0005] Currently, monolithic column materials are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymers or polystyrene polymers. These have many commercially successful products on the market and represent relatively successful monolithic column solutions. However, PMMA and polystyrene polymers also have the following problems: 1) High molding temperatures lead to complex process control due to thermal effects when preparing larger blocks, resulting in poor uniformity of pore distribution and potential dual-pore size distribution. Furthermore, curing typically takes 12-24 hours at 60-80°C; 2) After curing, they exhibit strong hydrophobicity, leading to significant non-specific adsorption during the purification of biomolecules. Hydrophilic modification (e.g., using molecules rich in hydroxyl groups) is generally required to reduce non-specific adsorption; 3) When curing to larger pore sizes, their poor toughness makes them prone to damage, affecting performance. These are the technical problems encountered by monolithic columns in the enrichment and separation of biomolecules, and these are the technical problems that this invention aims to solve.
[0006] CN202211600949.6 discloses an epoxy resin-based chromatography material, which features a uniform internal structure, good reproducibility in preparation, high toughness, modifiability for functional ligands, and high hydrophilicity. CN113145088A discloses a hydrophilic monolithic material and its preparation and application, in which triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) are ultrasonically dissolved in an organic solvent, followed by an epoxy-amine ring-opening polymerization reaction under heating conditions to form the monolithic material. Because the reaction between epoxy and amine generates a large number of hydroxyl groups, the resulting monolithic material exhibits good hydrophilicity. EP2485836A1 discloses a monolithic column with a fixed monomeric avidin for enriching and identifying biotinylated species, comprising a stationary phase made of a monolithic material containing reactive groups, to which avidin binds, monomerizes, and refolds.
[0007] Currently, when dealing with the separation of biomolecules, especially the enrichment and separation of nucleic acid substances from mixtures including proteins and nucleic acids, monolithic columns need to further enhance their specific adsorption of biomolecules, in addition to their general excellent adsorption performance, uniform results, low operating pressure, and high flow rate. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing monolithic columns, which lack optimization for biomolecules, especially nucleic acids, resulting in low yields (generally 60%-80%), poor stability, inconsistent linear scale-up reproducibility, and complex purification process optimization and control. Furthermore, the complex temperature control and long curing cycle during the curing process lead to high costs. This invention proposes an epoxy resin-based monolithic column material with specific adsorption capacity for nucleic acids. It retains the excellent adsorption performance, uniform results, low operating pressure, and high flow rate characteristics of epoxy resin monolithic columns, while also possessing excellent specific enrichment capacity for nucleic acids.

[0141] A third aspect of the present invention is to provide an application of a monolithic column for the enrichment and separation of DNA or RNA.
[0142] The monolithic column has the function of specifically adsorbing DNA or RNA. Specifically, it can specifically adsorb DNA and / or RNA in a mixed solution containing biological macromolecules, enabling them to be enriched in the monolithic column and then eluted for separation.
[0143] A fourth aspect of the present invention is to provide a chromatographic column comprising the aforementioned monolithic column.
[0144] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of the present invention.
[0145] The reagents and raw materials used in this invention are all commercially available.
[0146] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:
[0147] 1. The monolithic column prepared by this invention is rich in hydroxyl groups and has excellent compatibility with elution targets containing biomacromolecules, making it particularly suitable for the field of biomacromolecule chromatography.
[0148] 2. The monolithic column prepared by this invention retains the excellent adsorption performance, uniform results, low operating pressure, and high flow rate characteristics of epoxy resin monolithic column materials. The pores are adjustable, ranging from submicron to micron in size, with a relatively uniform distribution exhibiting a single-peak normal distribution and high ligand utilization. The pores are through-holes, eliminating diffusion effects, eliminating the need for increased retention time, shortening the process cycle, exhibiting no significant eddy current phenomenon, low shear force, and no impact on sample loading at high flow rates, demonstrating high toughness.

[0155] The present invention is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions were performed according to conventional methods and conditions, or as selected according to the product instructions.
[0156] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents used in the following examples and comparative examples are all commercially available products in the art.
[0157] Preparation Example
[0158] S1. Hydroxylation: Take 1 mL of the entire column block and rinse it with 20 times its volume of deionized water through a sintered glass funnel to remove the protective solution. Dry the column using a vacuum pump through the sintered glass funnel for 60 min at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
[0159] Transfer the 1ml monolithic column block after desiccation to a glass reaction flask, add 0.2M deionized sulfuric acid aqueous solution, and add 10ml of reaction solution per block (1mL); sonicate for 30min to accelerate the rapid immersion of the reaction solution into the monolithic column block; after sonication, transfer the glass reaction flask to a water bath, heat to 60℃, and keep warm for 4h; place the hydroxylated monolithic column block on a sintered glass funnel and rinse with deionized water until the pH is neutral (6.5-7).
[0160] The density of the bulk epoxy group after hydroxylation was determined to be 0 by epoxy group density measurement;
[0161] S2. Epoxidation: Take 1 mL of hydroxylated monolithic column, rinse with 20 times its volume of deionized water through a sand core funnel, and then use a vacuum pump to dry it through the sand core funnel for 60 min at an ambient temperature of 25℃.
[0162] Transfer the 1 mL monolithic column block after vacuum drying to a glass reaction flask. First, add solvent (50% DMSO deionized water), 10 mL per block (1 mL). Sonicate for 20 min to fully wet the monolithic block. Then add epichlorohydrin, 10% of the solvent mass, and continue sonicating for 30 min. Finally, add 2% sodium hydroxide and continue sonicating for 10 min, controlling the temperature at 20℃, and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a constant temperature water bath at 60℃ and react for 6 hours. Rinse with ethanol and water alternately, each time with 20 times the volume of the block. After washing, vacuum dry and store at low temperature.
[0163] Table 1. Performance of Epoxidized Monolithic Column Preparation Examples N: Indicates that this step was not performed.
[0164] By measuring the epoxy group density in Examples 1-4, the average pore size gradually increased. After hydroxylation followed by epoxidation, the epoxy group density decreased with increasing pore size.
[0165] Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are examples 1 and 4, respectively, where epoxidation was performed directly without hydroxylation. The ligand density in these examples was significantly lower than the values obtained after hydroxylation followed by epoxidation. This indicates that a small amount of epoxy groups remained after the monolithic column was formed. Hydroxylation of these epoxy groups converted them into hydroxyl groups, which, along with the hydroxyl groups already present in the original column, acted as reactants. In the subsequent epoxidation step, all hydroxyl groups were converted back to epoxy groups, increasing the epoxy group density in the monolithic column. Furthermore, hydroxylation and epoxidation increased the flexibility of the epoxy groups, and the presence of C3 linking groups between the epoxy groups and the monolithic column substrate allowed specifically adsorbed groups to extend from the substrate surface, enhancing the trapping ability.
[0166] Example
[0167] Weigh 20 mol% of reagent B as described in Table 2 and add it to the solution of solvent C as described in Table 2 (addition amount is 10 mL / mL block), and mix thoroughly in a glass reactor. Separately weigh 5% (w / v) of reagent A as described in Table 2 and add it to the aforementioned solution, and mix thoroughly.
[0168] Add the epoxidized chromatographic block to the aforementioned mixed solution and sonicate for 15 min.
[0169] The reaction mixture was then placed in a water bath shaker, heated to 60°C, and shaken at a frequency of 100 rpm for 24 hours.
[0170] After the reaction is complete, remove the monolithic column and wash it alternately with ethanol / deionized water until the pH of the droplet is neutral. Store the monolithic column in 20% ethanol for later use.

[0173] Pore size distribution, pore volume, and porosity determination
[0174] Test method: Mercury porosimetry
[0175] Test equipment: USA - McMurray-Autopore V 9620
[0176] Test results:
[0177] The results from the examples show that the pore parameters remained largely normal after the click chemical coupling of thiol and epoxy. No pore collapse, blockage, or other abnormal phenomena were observed. Therefore, this method can successfully prepare the thiol-pyridine modified monolithic column without affecting its basic properties such as pore size distribution, pore volume, and porosity.
[0178] Table 3. Test results of pore size distribution, pore volume, and porosity.
[0179] Figure 1 shows the pore size distribution of Example 1, and Figure 2 shows the pore size distribution of Example 6. As can be seen from the figures, the pore size distribution after modification is concentrated and there is no significant change in the pore size distribution. It can be seen that the modification step has no effect on the basic properties such as pore size.
[0180] Field emission electron microscopy scanning test
[0181] Test subjects: Preparation Example 3, Example 7
[0182] Testing equipment: Zeiss Sigma 300 (Germany), Oxford Spectroscopy.
[0183] Test results:
[0184] Figure 3 is an electron microscope image of Preparation Example 3; Figure 4 is an electron microscope image of Example 7. Preparation Example 3 and Example 7 are monolithic columns modified with epoxidation and quaternary ammonium salt, respectively, with pore sizes of approximately 4.2 μm. By comparing the electron microscope images, the pore structure after mercaptopyridine modification is normal and consistent with the porous structure of the unmodified monolithic column.
[0185] Epoxy ligand density determination
[0186] Test subjects: Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 in Table 1
[0187] Test method: Sodium thiosulfate-hydrochloric acid titration method.
[0188] After epoxidation modification, the chromatographic materials of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were thoroughly cleaned with deionized water and then vacuum-dried in a sintered glass funnel for 10 minutes. One piece (approximately 0.5 g) of each was then weighed and placed in a ground-glass conical flask. 3 mL of 1.3 mol / L sodium thiosulfate and 1-2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator were added. The flasks were sealed and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. The supernatant was titrated with 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid standard solution until the red solution turned colorless. The epoxy group density was calculated by substituting the volume of hydrochloric acid standard solution consumed into the following formula:
[0189] S = 1000 * [M HCl [(V0-V1)*ρ / W]
[0190] S: Epoxy ligand density, μmol / mL;
[0191] M HCl Hydrochloric acid concentration, mmol / L;
[0192] V0, V1: Volumes of HCl before and after titration, in mL;
[0193] ρ: Medium density (1.2 g / mL);
[0194] W: The mass (g) of the whole block weighed.
[0195] Test equipment: acid-base titration apparatus.
[0196] Test results: See Table 1.
[0197] 15000bp large plasmid loading and yield test
[0198] Test subjects: Examples 1-22
[0199] Test method: as follows
[0200] 3.1. The anion exchange chromatography stack (DEAE-Plus) was placed in a 1 mL radial flow chromatography apparatus (Yuji biological chromatography apparatus, specifically the device described in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN219743990U, the reference of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety);
[0201] 3.2. Connect the chromatography fixture containing the PYSH block to the liquid chromatography equipment and use the equilibration solution: 50mM Tris-HCl + 10mM EDTA + 2.5-3M (NH4)2SO4, pH 7.2-7.4. Equilibrate the column by 5-10 times its volume until the conductivity, pH, and UV baselines are stable.
[0202] 3.3. Take the plasmid sample (pHelper-CA plasmid DNA (approximately 15000bp, provided by Kaituo Biotechnology), supercoiled plasmid purity 90%), dilute it to 1 mg / mL, and inject 5 mL through the chromatography system at a flow rate of 3-5 mL / min.
[0203] 3.4 Elution was performed using eluent E (50mM Tris-HCl + 10mM EDTA + 1.7M (NH4)2SO4 + 0.3M NaCl) at a flow rate of 2-3 mL / min.
[0204] 3.5. Regeneration: First, regenerate the PYSH column with deionized water at a flow rate of 2-3 mL / min; then wash the column with 1M sodium hydroxide, and immediately wash the column with deionized water until neutral.
[0205] Test results: See Table 4
[0206] Table 4. Results of 15000bp plasmid loading and yield tests
[0207] For Examples 1-6, after modifying the 2.7 μm monolithic column, the yield was 50%-60%; the loading was ≥4.5 mg. As determined in Example 1, the injection was not supersaturated, and the flow-through FT portion consisted of open-ring plasmids (meaning that during injection, the mobile phase could be adjusted to allow impurities to flow through, indirectly improving the overall column utilization, as shown in Figure 5). The conventional microsphere-based thiopyridine method is the classic three-step chromatography method using agarose microspheres, including molecular sieves, 2-thiopyridine modified packing material, and anion exchange microspheres. When purifying ultra-large plasmid DNA with 2-thiopyridine packing material, the yield and loading are relatively low due to the diffusion effect required by the microsphere packing material. The yield is generally 30-40%, and the loading is 1-2 mg / mL. This type of packing column is generally suitable for separating plasmid molecules below 6000 bp.
[0208] Other similar monolithic column materials, such as high-density C4 polymethacrylate monolithic columns, separate supercoiled structures through hydrophobic interactions. Sample loading requires a high salt concentration to increase these hydrophobic interactions. Thiolpyridine purification plasmids, also known as thiophilic plasmids, contain a pyridine ring and carbon-sulfur bonds. The pyridine ring provides some hydrophobic interaction, while nitrogen provides ionic and hydrogen bonding, and sulfur is a strong electrophilic group. Compared to open-ring plasmids, supercoiled plasmids, due to their stronger topologically compressed helical configuration, have a relatively higher density of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobicity, and charge on the phosphate backbone, thus enabling separation through this difference.
[0209] Examples 7-12 show that after modifying a 4.2 μm monolithic chromatographic column with mercaptopyridine, the yield was 88%-90% and the loading was 3-4 mg. Examples 13-18 show that after modifying a 5.2 μm monolithic chromatographic column with mercaptopyridine, the yield was 92%-97% and the loading was 1-2 mg.
[0210] As shown in Table 4, the loading capacity gradually decreases while the yield gradually increases with increasing pore size. The purity of the supercoiled plasmids improved from the original 90%, indicating that the open-ring plasmids exhibited certain enrichment and separation effects on several coupled ligands. Regarding separation efficiency, the purity of 2-mercaptopyridine (Examples 1, 7, 13, 19-22), 4-mercaptopyridine (Examples 2, 8, 14), and 2-mercapto-6-methylpyridine (Examples 4, 10, 16) was generally above 95%. The purity of the other pyridine-extended compounds showed a corresponding increase, albeit a smaller one of about 2%. This may be because the nitro, carboxyl, and sulfonamide groups on the pyridine ring altered the overall hydrophobicity, polarity, hydrogen bonding, and ionic bonding of the ligands. Although the separation degree can be optimized through chromatographic process conditions, the relationship between purity, loading capacity or efficiency, and yield is a near-impossible triangle, requiring a balance that is quite challenging. 2-Mercaptopyridine, 4-mercaptopyridine, and 2-mercapto-6-methylpyridine can meet the purification requirements.
