Abstract
To comply with regulatory requirements, it is necessary to detect and separate the impurities generated during aztreonam synthesis or storage. The chromatogram of aztreonam revealed eight major impurities, which were purified through medium-pressure reversed-phase column and preparative High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Through high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HRESIMS), as well as one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), their structures were confirmed as aztreonam acetate (Ⅰ), desulfated aztreonam (Ⅱ), anti-aztreonam (Ⅲ), open-ring aztreonam (Ⅳ), open-ring desulfated aztreonam (Ⅴ), open-ring desulfated aztreonam ethyl ester (VI), cis-deamino open-ring desulfated aztreonam (VII), and trans-deamino open-ring desulfated aztreonam (Ⅷ). Their exact concentrations were determined through quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) technique. Structural elucidation of the eight impurities through 1H NMR, 13C NMR, the 1H-1H COSY, NOESY, HSQC, HMBC NMR and MS spectra was conducted. Especially, ⅥI and Ⅷ were identified as undescribed impurities here.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
