Abstract
An LC–MS (liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry) methodology is developed for the precise analysis of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) genotoxic impurity with high sensitivity and selectivity in a Cetirizine dihydrochloride (CTZ) drug substance. In accordance with the “threshold of toxicological concern (TTC),” the carryover of DCAA in a CTZ is done at a limit of 25 ppm in the sample. The present methodology is validated as per “International Council for Harmonization (ICH)” guidelines, and the detection limit and the quantitation limit are 0.4 and 1.2 ppm, respectively. The linearity study was conducted, and the coefficient of regression was found to be 0.9946. The method's accuracy was confirmed by the finding the percentage of recovered spiked DCAA in the drug, which ranged from 93.47% to 99.80%. Results indicated that the methodology was reliable, precise, and reproducible. The method can be extended for the determination of DCAA genotoxic impurity in a CTZ drug substance (API) samples by LC–MS.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Chromatography is devoted to the publication of original papers on the applications of chromatography and allied techniques in the biological and medical sciences. Research papers and review articles cover the methods and techniques relevant to the separation, identification and determination of substances in biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, cell biology, clinical chemistry, pharmacology and related disciplines. These include the analysis of body fluids, cells and tissues, purification of biologically important compounds, pharmaco-kinetics and sequencing methods using HPLC, GC, HPLC-MS, TLC, paper chromatography, affinity chromatography, gel filtration, electrophoresis and related techniques.
