title: Recombinant human insulin. V. Optimization of the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic separation.
abstract: The applicability of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to the analysis of the products of recombinant insulin was studied. The influence of several mobile phases in reversed-phase and ion-pair HPLC on selectivity, resolution and sensitivity was investigated. Optimum conditions for the separation of insulin-related proteins on commercial and laboratory-made supports were established by means of three-dimensional optimizations of selectivity and resolution as a function of pH and ionic strength (mu). A mechanism for the separation of proteins with a mobile phase containing a high salt concentration and a pH near the isoelectric point of proteins is proposed. The questions of scaling up are considered. The proposed techniques allow the analysis of the main impurities and ensures a high quality of active insulin production.
