(abstract)

Oligonucleotides are short nucleic acids that serve as one of the most promising classes of drug modality. However, attempts to establish a physicochemical evaluation platform of oligonucleotides for acquiring a comprehensive view of their properties have been limited. As the chemical stability and the efficacy as well as the solution properties at a high concentration should be related to their higher-order structure and intra-/intermolecular interactions, their detailed understanding enables effective formulation development. Here, the higher-order structure and the thermodynamic stability of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) and four modified TBAs, which have similar sequences but were expected to have different higher-order structures, were evaluated using ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), circular dichroism (CD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Then, the relationship between the higher-order structure and the solution properties including solubility, viscosity, and stability was investigated. The impact of the higher-order structure on the antithrombin activity was also confirmed. The higher-order structure and intra-/intermolecular interactions of the oligonucleotides were affected by types of buffers because of different potassium concentrations, which are crucial for the formation of the G-quadruplex structure. Consequently, solution properties, such as solubility and viscosity, chemical stability, and antithrombin activity, were also influenced. Each instrumental analysis had a complemental role in investigating the higher-order structure of TBA and modified TBAs. The utility of each physicochemical characterization method during the preclinical developmental stages is also discussed.
