Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a robust, precise, and selective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the separation and determination of related impurities in fosaprepitant dimeglumine API. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Supersil ODS-2 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at a wavelength of 215 nm using a mixture of phosphate buffer (pH 2.15) and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient elution mode. The validation results demonstrate that the method exhibits acceptable specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The detection limits and quantitation limits ranged from 1.5 to 12.5 ng mL−1 and from 3.0 to 37.5 ng mL−1, respectively. A linear relationship was observed between the peak area and concentration of fosaprepitant and its eight related impurities with a correlation coefficient value of r2 ≥ 0.999. The analysis of commercial fosaprepitant dimeglumine products revealed a significantly higher purity than expected, with all known impurities falling below specification limits. The new HPLC method has been successfully applied to analyze commercial bulk drug samples and is suitable for quality-control laboratories for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of eight related substances in the fosaprepitant dimeglumine API.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
