Conclusion
The two-step purification process achieves exceptional tirzepatide quality:
Primary Purification
- 74% crude → 98.7% purity (+24.7% absolute improvement)
- 83.3% yield from crude material
- HSC8pro column with HAC/ACN system
- 214nm primary detection wavelength
Secondary Purification
- Final purity 99.47% (pharmaceutical grade)
- Single impurity <0.2% (meets strict specifications)
- 92% yield from primary fraction
- Ammonium acetate/chloride buffer system (pH6.5)
- Same HSC8pro column for both steps
Overall Process Performance
Combined Yield: 76.64% (83.3% × 92%)
Total Purity Gain: 74% → 99.47% (+25.47%)
Impurity Reduction: >100-fold reduction (26% → 0.2%)
Note: Method 1 demonstrates excellent reproducibility using the same Sunnasil HS C8 pro column chemistry for both purification steps, with buffer system modification for final polishing.
