DNA/RNA Drug Forced Degradation Analysis Service
DNA/RNA Drug Forced Degradation Analysis Service is a service that subjects nucleic acid drugs to controlled stress conditions such as high temperature, strong light, oxidation, acidic or basic environments, and humidity to artificially accelerate degradation, followed by systematic analysis of degradation products and mechanisms using high-resolution separation and detection techniques including HPLC, CE, LC-MS/MS, and NMR. The core objective is to identify potential degradation products, evaluate drug stability under different environmental conditions, and provide scientific evidence for drug design optimization, quality standard development, and international regulatory submission.
DNA and RNA drugs, such as oligonucleotides, siRNA, mRNA vaccines, and aptamers, show tremendous potential in clinical applications but face the challenges of poor stability and susceptibility to degradation. Nucleic acid molecules are highly sensitive to heat, light, oxidation, pH changes, and nucleases, which can easily cause structural damage and generate impurities during manufacturing, storage, and delivery. These changes may result in reduced efficacy, increased immunogenicity, or even safety risks. Therefore, systematic stability studies, particularly forced degradation analysis, have become an essential part of nucleic acid drug development, quality control, and regulatory compliance, helping to reveal degradation pathways, define impurity profiles, and guide formulation and storage optimization.

FAQ
Q1: How Should Different Stress Conditions Be Set?
A1: Common stresses include heat, light, acidic or basic environments, oxidation, and humidity, which are typically set with reference to the ICH Q1A(R2) guideline to ensure that experimental results both simulate actual risks and meet regulatory requirements.
Q2: Can Degradation Kinetic Parameters Be Provided?
A2: Yes. By sampling at multiple time points and performing quantitative analysis, it is possible to calculate kinetic parameters such as degradation rate constants and half-lives, as well as to establish degradation pathway models.
