Counterion exchange process for peptides

摘要

The invention encompasses a process for purifying a peptide comprising loading a peptide onto a RP-HPLC column; washing the column with an aqueous solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable counterion salt; and eluting the peptide from the column with a solvent mixture of a organic solvent and an acid of the pharmaceutically acceptable counterion, wherein the aqueous solution has a pH of at least about 6.
