Abstract

The acid hydrolysis procedure for glatiramer acetate was modified and the characteristic signals in the ¹H and ¹³C spectra were identified, allowing its amino acid composition to be determined. The relative molar contents of amino acids in glatiramer acetate measured by HPLC-MS and by ¹³C and ¹H NMR had close values. ¹³C NMR was found to be a more precise method for assaying the amino acid composition of glatiramer acetate than ¹H NMR.
