A simple reverse phase liquid chromatographic method was developed for the quantitative determination of desipramine hydrochloride and its related impurities in bulk drugs which is also stability-indicating. During the forced degradation at hydrolysis, oxidative, photolytic and thermal stressed conditions, the degradation results were only observed in the oxidative stress condition. The blend of the degradation product and potential impurities were used to optimize the method by an YMC Pack Pro C18 stationary phase. The LC method employs a linear gradient elution with the water–acetonitrile–trifluoroacetic acid as mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1 and the detection wavelength 215 nm. The stressed samples were quantified against a qualified reference standard and the mass balance was found close to 99.0% (w/w) when the response of the degradant was considered to be equal to the analyte (i.e. desipramine). The developed RP-LC method was validated in agreement with ICH requirements.
相似文献A new, sensitive, stability indicating gradient RP-LC related substances and assay method has been developed for the quantitative determination of entacapone in bulk drugs. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 stationary phase with simple mobile phase combination of buffer and acetonitrile. Buffer consisted of 0.1% orthophosphoric acid, delivered in a gradient mode and quantitation was carried out using ultraviolet detection at 220 nm with a flow rate of 1.5 mL min−1. In the developed LC method the resolution (R s ) between entacapone and its three potential process impurities were found to be >2.0. Regression analysis showed an r 2 value (correlation coefficient) >0.99 for entacapone and its three potential impurities. This method was capable to detect all three process impurities of entacapone at a level of 0.003% with respect to test concentration of 0.5 mg mL−1 for a 20 μL injection volume. The inter- and intra-day precision values for all three impurities and for entacapone was found to be within 2.0% RSD. The method has shown good and consistent recoveries for entacapone in bulk drugs (99.2–101.5%) and its three impurities (99.5–102.2%). The test solution was found to be stable in diluent for 48 h. The drug substances were subjected to stress conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. Considerable degradation was found to occur in acid stress, base stress and oxidative conditions. The stressed test solutions were assayed against the qualified working standard of entacapone and the mass balance in each case was close to 99.7% indicating that the developed method was stability-indicating. The developed RP-LC method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness.
相似文献Nineteen impurities in roxithromycin drug substance made in China were separated and identified by HPLC–MSn (TOF and TRAP) for the further improvement of official monographs in Pharmacopoeias. The fragmentation patterns and structural assignment of these impurities were studied. The column was Shim VP-ODS (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 10 m mol L−1 ammonium acetate and 0.1 % formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile (62.5:37.5). In positive mode, full scan LC–MS was first performed to obtain the m/z value of the protonated molecules and formulas of all detected peaks on Agilent 6538Q TOF high resolution mass spectrometer. LC–MS-MS and LC–MS-MS–MS were then carried out on the compounds of interest on AB SCIEX 4000 Q TRAP™ composite triple quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometer. The complete fragmentation patterns of nineteen impurities were studied and used to obtain information about the structures of these impurities. The structures of nineteen impurities in roxithromycin drug substance were deduced based on the HPLC–MSn data, in which nine impurities were novel impurities.
相似文献A novel liquid chromatographic method for analysis three potential impurities in brimonidine tartrate drug substance has been developed and validated. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a C8 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5-μm particles) with a simple mobile-phase gradient at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1. Quantification was achieved by use of ultraviolet detection at 248 nm. Resolution between brimonidine tartrate and its three potential impurities was greater than 3.0. Regression analysis showed the r value (correlation coefficient) was >0.999 for brimonidine and its three impurities. The method was capable of detecting all three impurities of brimonidine tartrate at levels below 0.07 μg in a test concentration of brimonidine tartrate of 1.0 mg mL−1 and for an injection volume of 10 μL. A solution of brimonidine tartrate in acetonitrile–water 2:8 (v/v) was stable for 48 h. The drug was subjected to stress conditions as prescribed by the ICH. Degradation was found to occur slightly under oxidative stress conditions but the drug was stable to aqueous, acidic, and basic hydrolysis, and photolytic and thermal stress. The assay of the stressed samples was calculated relative to a qualified reference standard and the mass balance was found close to 99.8%. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness.
相似文献A novel, simple and reliable reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC)–spectrophotometric UV stability-indicating method was developed and validated for the simultaneous assay of marbofloxacin, clotrimazole and dexamethasone acetate in the presence of their impurities and degradation products in a pharmaceutical formulation for veterinary use. A C18 (75 × 4.6 mm, 4 µm) column was used with an acetonitrile–ammonium acetate mixture as mobile phase delivered with gradient elution. A diode-array detection was used in the 200–400 nm range and the detection wavelength was set at 260 nm. Validation carried out on the pharmaceutical dosage form, according to Veterinary International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, demonstrated excellent specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy and robustness. Excellent specificity with respect to vehicle and degradation products obtained after forced degradation (i.e., oxidation, acid, alkaline and thermal degradation) was demonstrated. As for linearity, the LC–UV assay method is applicable in the 0.180–0.420 mg mL−1 concentration range for marbofloxacin (r 2 = 0.99), 0.060–0.140 mg mL−1 for dexamethasone acetate (r 2 = 0.97) and 0.600–1.400 mg mL−1 for clotrimazole (r 2 = 0.98). Very good repeatability (RSD < 0.8 %) and inter-day precision (RSD < 2.5 %) were observed for all analytes. Accuracy was in the 93–104 %, 98–111 % and 99–108 % confidence interval (95 %) for marbofloxacin, dexamethasone acetate and clotrimazole, respectively. The variations (±20 %) of mobile phase flow rate and pH, and oven column temperature did not exhibit an impact on the analyte content accuracy, demonstrating the robustness of the method. The LC–UV method here developed and validated may be used routinely for quality control.
相似文献A new method was performed using on-line coupling of nonchiral reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) to circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy for simultaneous determination of artemisinin and arteannuin B in crude plant extracts of Artemisia annua. Analysis was carried out on an LC–CD system equipped with an Agilent TC-C18 column (4.6 mm I.D. × 200 mm L, 5 μm) using gradient of acetonitrile. The method was validated to be practicable and reliable at alterable wavelength in the ranges of 220–420 nm as desired. LOD and LOQ of artemisinin and arteannuin B were 0.08, 0.26 and 0.31, 1.02 μg mL−1, respectively. It was more sensitive than conventional LC–UV and comparatively cheaper than LC–MS in analysis of TCM.

The mass fragmentation patterns and structural assignment of these impurities were studied. The column was Acchrom Click XIon (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 250 m mol L−1 ammonium formate and 1.4 % formic acid aqueous solution–acetonitrile–water (30:48:22). In positive mode, full scan LC–MS was first performed in order to obtain the m/z value of the protonated molecules, LC–MS–MS was then carried out on the compounds of interest on AB SCIEX 4000 Q TRAP™ composite triple quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometer. The complete fragmentation patterns of nine impurities were studied and used to obtain information about the structure of these impurities. The structures of nine impurities in amikacin sulfate were deduced based on the HPLC–MSn data, in which three impurities were novel impurities. Three novel impurities were 1-N-(l-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl) derivative of 4-O-(6-AG)DS, 1-N-(l-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl) derivative of 6-O-(3-AG)DS and 1-N-(l-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl) derivative of kanamycin D.
相似文献A novel and selective stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the analysis of dimethindene maleate, the related substance 2-ethylpyridine, and three degradation products. Dimethindene maleate was subjected to forced degradation study by acid and basic hydrolysis, oxidation, and thermal decomposition. Three degradation products that were formed during the forced degradation study were separated from dimethindene using a Zorbax SB CN column (150 × 4.6 mm; 5 μm); cyanopropyl-bonded stationary phase was applied for the first time for the separation of dimethindene and its impurities. The proposed method was validated and was found suitable for quality control and stability tests of pharmaceuticals containing dimethindene maleate.
相似文献A simple reverse-phase method for the selective quantification of pitavastatin calcium (PIT) and its related substances was developed. The method demonstrated an excellent separation between PIT and each of 15 impurities (including its isomers and degradants) within a short run time of 12 min by HPLC. A rapid resolution similar to that of UHPLC was achieved using high flow rate on superficially porous C18 stationary phase. A synergistic combination of quality by design approach and use of a superficially porous column delivered a HPLC method with ultra-high performance. Forced degradation studies proved the method to be highly specific (mass balance > 98 %) and the structures of major degradation products were proposed based on LC–MS analysis. The results of validation proved the method to be highly precise (%RSD < 4), accurate (recoveries in range of 100 ± 7 %), linear (r 2 > 0.999) and sensitive (LOQ ≤ 0.02 % and LOD ≤ 0.005 %) for all the impurities and drug. Use of multivariate analysis helped to incorporate high robustness in the method. The method is valuable for quantification of PIT and its related substances in both drug substance and oral solid dosage form.
相似文献Praziquantel (PZQ) is a highly lipophilic drug with low aqueous solubility. Despite this, it is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, a simple LC method was developed and validated, in order to monitor the concentration of PZQ in TC-199 buffer in vitro, in the rat everted gut sac absorption model. PZQ was analyzed by a reversed-phase LC method with an isocratic mobile phase containing acetonitrile and water in the proportions 45:55. The flow-rate was 1 mL min−1 and PZQ was determined by measuring absorbance at 215 nm, at 25 °C. The method was found to be specific, as none of the components of TC-199 or intestinal sac artefacts interfered with the drug peak. Recovery was within acceptable statistical limits. The limit of detection was 0.54 μg mL−1 and the limit of quantitation was 1.63 μg mL−1. The calibration curve was found to be linear in the concentration range of 10–90 μg mL−1 PZQ. The proposed method was found to be rapid and selective and hence can be applied in the monitoring of the absorption of PZQ in in vitro everted gut sac absorption studies.
