In addition to traditional characterisation methods of hydrophobic interaction (HIC) and reverse phase (RP) chromatography, an anion exchange chromatography (AIEX) was developed to analyse and purify antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Since different drug antibody ratio (DAR) species may impact biological activity, therapeutic index, PK parameters or even potential immunogenicity, homogenous ADC DAR demands have been significantly increasing. To accelerate linker designs, drug screening and ADC DAR purification for in vitro and in vivo studies, we built the analytical toolbox including HIC, RP, AIEX, icIEF, SEC, and MS for downstream ADC DAR purification using HIC and AIEX. The established analytical methods can quickly assess the quality of ADC DAR profiles and provide important information to select the proper ADC DAR purification method. Since drug-linker structures can significantly affect ADC physicochemical properties, and highly impact on selections of analytical methods, we applied both HIC and AIEX characterisation and purification platforms to achieve ADC DAR homogenous. Our experiments also implied that unlike HIC, AIEX could be used to separate DAR4 positional isomers.
