[PMID: 39276416 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 09/05/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
Product-related impurities are challenging to remove during monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification process due to molecular similarity. Frontal chromatography on hydrophobic interaction resins has demonstrated its capability to effectively remove such impurities. However, process improvements geared towards purity level comes as a trade-off with the yield loss. In this work, we present a hydrophobic interaction chromatography process using multicolumn continuous chromatography (MCC) concept and frontal analysis to remove a high prevalence product related impurity. This design uses a two-column continuous system where the two columns are directly connected during product chase step to capture product wash loss without any in-process adjustment. This polish MCC operation resulted in a 10 % increase in yield while maintaining 99 % purity, despite the presence of 20 % product-related impurities in the feed material. One challenge associated with polish MCC design is that the accumulation of the impurities renders a non-steady state recycling. To surmount this issue and ensure a robust process, a mechanistic model was developed and validated to predict multicomponent breakthrough. This model was capable to predict multiple cycle behavior and accounts for increased impurity concentration. Assisted by the model, the optimized operation parameters and conditions can be determined to account for variation in product load quality. The simulated results demonstrate an effective doubling of productivity compared to conventional batch chromatography.

Abstract
Continuous countercurrent chromatography can be applied for both capture and polishing steps in the downstream processing of biopharmaceuticals. This chapter explains the concept of countercurrent operation, focusing on twin-column processes and how it can be used to alleviate the trade-offs of traditional batch chromatography with respect to resin utilization/productivity and yield/purity. CaptureSMB and MCSGP, the main twin-column continuous countercurrent chromatography processes, are explained, and the metrics by which they are compared to single-column chromatography are identified. Practical hints for process design and application examples are provided. Finally, regulatory aspects, scale-up, and UV-based process control are covered.

Abstract
Conjugation of biopharmaceuticals to polyethylene glycol chains, known as PEGylation, is nowadays an efficient and widely exploited strategy to improve critical properties of the active molecule, including stability, biodistribution profile, and reduced clearance. A crucial step in the manufacturing of PEGylated drugs is the purification. The reference process in industrial settings is single-column chromatography, which can meet the stringent purity requisites only at the expenses of poor product recoveries. A valuable solution to this trade-off is the Multicolumn Countercurrent Solvent Gradient Purification (MCSGP), which allows the internal and automated recycling of product-containing side fractions that are typically discarded in the batch processes. In this study, an ad hoc design procedure was applied to the single-column batch purification of an industrially relevant PEGylated protein, with the aim of defining optimal collection window, elution duration and elution buffer ionic strength to be then transferred to the MCSGP. This significantly alleviates the design of the continuous operation, subjected to manifold process parameters. The MCSGP designed by directly transferring the optimal parameters allowed to improve the yield and productivity by 8.2% and 17.8%, respectively, when compared to the corresponding optimized batch process, ensuring a purity specification of 98.0%. Once the efficacy of MCSGP was demonstrated, a detailed analysis of its cost of goods was performed and compared to the case of single-column purification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a detailed economic investigation of the MCSGP across different manufacturing scenarios and process cadences of industrial relevance, which demonstrated not only the viability of this continuous technology but also its flexibility.

Abstract
Multicolumn Countercurrent Solvent Gradient Purification (MCSGP) is a continuous chromatography technique used to maximize purification yields compared to traditional batch purification methods. Here we apply MCSGP for the reversed phase purification of a N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-cluster-conjugated DNA-LNA gapmer oligonucleotide therapeutic using a twin-column chromatography system. Based on a batch process as a starting point, MCSGP was designed, optimized and compared with the batch process regarding process performance and scale-up requirements. Product yields increased from 52.7% using batch chromatography to 91.5% using MCSGP, with purity, productivity, and buffer consumption otherwise comparable. In a manufacturing scenario, use of MCSGP would allow the downscaling of oligonucleotide synthesis by 42.5%, which would result in a significant cost reduction and increased throughput. Moreover, the equipment, chemicals and methodology used in MCSGP are analogous to a standard reversed phase purification allowing for a "like for like" transition to the upgraded MCSGP process.

Rebirth of recycling liquid chromatography with modern chromatographic columns : Extension to gradient elution. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1653:462424. [PMID: 34340057 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Twin column recycling semi-preparative liquid chromatography (TCRLC) is revived to prepare small amount (∼ 1 mg) of a pure targeted compound, which cannot be isolated by conventional preparative liquid chromatography. In this work, TCRLC is extended to gradient elution. The first step of this modified process consists of a gradient step, which eliminates both early and late impurities. If not discarded, some late impurities could echo during the second isocratic recycling step of the process and compromise the purity level required for the targeted compound. Additionally, the entire gradient TCRLC (GTCRLC) process is automated regarding the eluent composition programmed and the actuation times of two valves: one two-position four-port divert valve enables to shave the targeted compound from early and late impurities during the initial gradient step. The second two-position six-port recycling valve ensures the complete baseline resolution between the band of the targeted compound and those of the closest impurities, which are not fully eliminated after the initial gradient step. The automation of the whole GTCRLC process is achieved by running four preliminary scouting gradient runs (at four different relative gradient times, tgt0= 2, 6, 18, and 54, where t0 is the hold-up column time) for the accurate determination of the thermodynamics (lnk versus φ plots of the retention factor as a function of the mobile phase composition) of the first impurity, the targeted compound(s), and of the last impurity. The automated GTCRLC process was successfully applied for the isolation of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), chrysene, from a complex mixture of PAHs containing two nearly co-eluting impurities (benzo[a]anthracene and triphenylene) and nine other early/late impurities (sample volume injected: 1 mL, 7.8 mm × 150 mm Sunfire-C18 column, acetonitrile/water eluent mixtures, T= 55 ∘C, 20 cycles, baseline separation in less than two hours). Additionally, the GTCRLC process is advantageously used to isolate and baseline separate the vitamins D2 and D3 initially present in a milk extract mixture (0.3 mL sample injection volume, 7.8 mm × 150 mm Sunfire-C18 column, methanol/water eluent mixtures, T= 65 ∘C, 14 cycles needed in 1.5 hours). These results open promising avenues toward an effective preparation of unknown targeted compounds before further physico-chemical characterization and unambiguous identification.

Abstract
Recent advances in process analytical technologies and modelling techniques present opportunities to improve industrial chromatography control strategies to enhance process robustness, increase productivity and move towards real-time release testing. This paper provides a critical overview of batch and continuous industrial chromatography control systems for therapeutic protein purification. Firstly, the limitations of conventional industrial fractionation control strategies using in-line UV spectroscopy and on-line HPLC are outlined. Following this, an evaluation of monitoring and control techniques showing promise within research, process development and manufacturing is provided. These novel control strategies combine rapid in-line data capture (e.g. NIR, MALS and variable pathlength UV) with enhanced process understanding obtained from mechanistic and empirical modelling techniques. Finally, a summary of the future states of industrial chromatography control systems is proposed, including strategies to control buffer formulation, product fractionation, column switching and column fouling. The implementation of these control systems improves process capabilities to fulfil product quality criteria as processes are scaled, transferred and operated, thus fast tracking the delivery of new medicines to market.

Abstract
Today's biologics manufacturing practices incur high costs to the drug makers, which can contribute to high prices for patients. Timely investment in the development and implementation of continuous biomanufacturing can increase the production of consistent-quality drugs at a lower cost and a faster pace, to meet growing demand. Efficient use of equipment, manufacturing footprint, and labor also offer the potential to improve drug accessibility. Although technological efforts enabling continuous biomanufacturing have commenced, challenges remain in the integration, monitoring, and control of traditionally segmented unit operations. Here, we discuss recent developments supporting the implementation of continuous biomanufacturing, along with their benefits.

Abstract
Continuous bioprocessing is a promising trend in biopharmaceutical production, and multi-column continuous chromatography shows advantages of high productivity, high resin capacity utilization, small footprint, low buffer consumption and less waste. Due to the complexity and dynamic nature of continuous processing, traditional experiment-based approaches are often time-consuming and inefficient. In this review, model-assisted approaches were focused and their applications in continuous chromatography process development, validation and control were discussed. Chromatographic models are useful in describing particular process performances of continuous capture and polishing with multi-column chromatography. Model-assisted tools showed powerful ability in evaluating multiple operating parameters and identifying optimal points over the entire design space. The residence time distribution models, model-assisted process analytical technologies and model-predictive control strategies were also developed to reveal the propagation of disturbances, enhance real time monitor and achieve adaptive control to match the transient disturbances and deviations of continuous processes. Moreover, artificial neural networks and machine learning concepts were integrated into modeling approaches to improve data treatment. In general, further development in research and applications of model-assisted approaches for continuous chromatography are needed urgently to support the continuous manufacturing.

Abstract
The potential of continuous bioprocessing is hindered by the bottlenecks of chromatography processing, which continues to be executed in batch mode. Highlighting the critical drawbacks of batch chromatography, this review underscores the transition that the industry has made by implementing continuous upstream process without devising a working model for downstream chromatography operations. Even though multitude of process development initiatives have commenced, the review emphasizes the first principle models of chromatography on which these initiatives are built. Various models of continuous chromatography, which are essential, but not limited to multi-column systems, employed to congeal a unified process are reviewed. Advancements made by several mechanistic models and simulations to maximize productivity and performance are described, in an attempt to provide the integral tools. The modeling tools can be used for development of a strong model based control strategy and can be embedded into the continuous chromatography framework. The review addresses the limitations and challenges of the current modeling methods for development of robust mechanistic modeling and efficient unit operation platform in continuous chromatography.

Abstract
A twin-column Multicolumn Countercurrent Solvent Gradient Purification (MCSGP) process has been developed for the purification of a therapeutic peptide, glucagon, from a crude synthetic mixture. This semi-continuous process uses two identical columns operating either in interconnected or in batch mode, thus enabling the internal recycle of the portions of the eluting stream which do not comply with purity specifications. Because of this feature, which actually results in the simulated countercurrent movement of the stationary phase with respect to the mobile one, the yield-purity trade-off typical of traditional batch preparative chromatography can be alleviated. Moreover, the purification process can be completely automatized. Aim of this work is to present a simple procedure for the development of the MCSGP process based on a single batch experiment, in the case of a therapeutic peptide of industrial relevance. This allowed to recover roughly 90% of the injected glucagon in a purified pool with a purity of about 90%. A comparison between the performance of the MCSGP process and the classical single column batch process indicates that percentage increase in the recovery of target product is +23% when transferring the method from batch conditions to MCSGP, with an unchanged purity of around 89%. This improvement comes at the expenses of a reduction of about 38% in productivity.

Abstract
The thermodynamic behavior of octreotide, a cyclic octapeptide with important pharmaceutical functions, has been simulated under reversed-phase gradient elution conditions. To this end, adsorption behavior was firstly investigated in isocratic conditions, under a variety of water/acetonitrile + 0.02% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) mixtures as mobile phase by using a Langmuir isotherm. Organic modifier was varied in the range between 23 and 28% (v/v). Adsorption isotherms were determined by means of the so-called Inverse Method (IM) with a minimum amount of peptide. The linear solvent strength (LSS) model was used to find the correlation between isotherm parameters and mobile phase composition. This study contributes to enlarge our knowledge on the chromatographic behavior under nonlinear gradient conditions of peptides. In particular, it focuses on a cyclic octapeptide.

Abstract
The semicontinuous twin-column multicolumn countercurrent solvent gradient purification (MCSGP) process improves the trade-off between purity and yield encountered in traditional batch chromatography, while its complexity, in terms of hardware requirements and process design, is reduced in comparison to process variants using more columns. In this study, the MCSGP process is experimentally characterized, specifically with respect to its unique degrees of freedom, i.e., the four switching times, which alternate the columns between interconnected and batch states. By means of isolation of the main charge isoform of an antibody, it is shown that purity is determined by the selection of the product collection window with negligible influence from the recycle phases. In addition, the amount of weak and strong impurities can be specifically attributed to the start and end of the collection, respectively. Due to higher abundance of weakly adsorbing impurities, the start of product collection influences productivity and yield more than the other switching times. Furthermore, most of the encountered tendencies scale between different loadings. The found trends can be rationalized from the corresponding batch chromatogram and therefore used during process design to obtain desirable process performances without extensive trial-and-error experimentation or complete model development and calibration.

Abstract
This chapter introduces the necessary concepts to design continuous expression and purification processes for monoclonal antibodies. The operation of a perfusion bioreactor is discussed containing the preparation procedures, the seeding train and the preparation and control of a long-term production run. The downstream processes exploit the benefits of countercurrent chromatography. Their design from batch experiments is presented. The CaptureSMB process is introduced for continuous capturing while for polishing applications the design of the two-column MCSGP process is described. The chapter also puts these processes together in the context of their integration to an end-to-end production process.

Abstract
Process analytical technologies (PAT) for the manufacturing of biologics have drawn increased interest in the last decade. Besides being encouraged by the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) PAT initiative, PAT promises to improve process understanding, reduce overall production costs and help to implement continuous manufacturing. This article focuses on spectroscopic tools for PAT in downstream processing (DSP). Recent advances and future perspectives will be reviewed. In order to exploit the full potential of gathered data, chemometric tools are widely used for the evaluation of complex spectroscopic information. Thus, an introduction into the field will be given.

Abstract
To overcome limitations of periodic separations of proteins in batch chromatographic columns Carousel Multi-Column Setup (CMS) has been recently suggested and theoretically analyzed in a previous study (R. Bochenek, W. Marek, W. Piątkowski, D. Antos, J. Chromatogr. A, 1301 (2013) 60-72). In this system, feed and mobile phase streams are subsequently delivered through parallel columns to mimic their countercurrent movement with respect to the fluid flow. All fluxes in the system are synchronized to ensure continuous feed delivery, which however causes reduction in the size of the operating window compared to batchwise-operating systems. In this study to improve the performance of CMS, additional process variables have been considered, such as the flow rate gradient and feed concentration. Though altering both variables allowed improving the separation selectivity and extending the operating window, the feed concentration appeared to be the most influential parameter affecting the process performance. Moreover, a procedure for practical realization of protein separations in CMS has been developed, including hints about the process design, configuration of columns and detectors, and use of pumps. As the case study, the separation of a ternary mixture of proteins, i.e., cytochrome C, lysozyme and immunoglobulin G, on hydrophobic interaction columns was used. A target product was a protein with intermediate adsorption strength that was isolated out of a more and less strongly adsorbed compound.

Abstract
The economic advantages of continuous processing of biopharmaceuticals, which include smaller equipment and faster, efficient processes, have increased interest in this technology over the past decade. Continuous processes can also improve quality assurance and enable greater controllability, consistent with the quality initiatives of the FDA. Here, we discuss different continuous multi-column chromatography processes. Differences in the capture and polishing steps result in two different types of continuous processes that employ counter-current column movement. Continuous-capture processes are associated with increased productivity per cycle and decreased buffer consumption, whereas the typical purity-yield trade-off of classical batch chromatography can be surmounted by continuous processes for polishing applications. In the context of continuous manufacturing, different but complementary chromatographic columns or devices are typically combined to improve overall process performance and avoid unnecessary product storage. In the following, these various processes, their performances compared with batch processing and resulting product quality are discussed based on a review of the literature. Based on various examples of applications, primarily monoclonal antibody production processes, conclusions are drawn about the future of these continuous-manufacturing technologies.
