The major concerns associated with its presence in medications as a residual reagent or degradation product arise because of its ability to damage the genetic material, cause mutations, and potentially trigger cancer. It has been classified under Class 2 genotoxic impurity (GTI), based on the ICH M7 guideline. Its multitissue toxicities including hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and hematotoxicity have led to tight regulatory limits with the EMA threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) at 1.5 µg/day. Detecting hydrazine in trace concentrations is challenging because of its low molecular weight, high polarity, absence of chromophores, and chemical instability. In order to provide a unified framework for impurity profiling, we combine hydrazine's toxicological profiles, formation pathways, and analytical advancements. Recent advances on the extraction, derivatization, and analytical determination of hydrazine to improve its stability and detectability in pharmaceutical matrices ranging from 2020 to 2025 were collected. Comparative evaluation of the methodologies reveals that combining chemical derivatization with hyphenated techniques delivers the highest sensitivity. GC-MS/MS stands out as the gold standard, providing exceptionally low detection limits at the sub-ppm level with high precision and reliability, while UHPLC-fluorescence serves as an alternative with considerable sensitivity for detecting hydrazine.

However, the relationship between drug concentration and therapeutic efficacy in specific patient populations remains unclear. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a method for quantifying indobufen concentrations in human plasma to guide dosage recommendations. An electrospray ionization (ESI) power supply was utilized in conjunction with multireaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ion mode. Protein precipitation was employed to extract indobufen from the plasma sample. Separation was carried out using a ChromCORE-C18 column with a gradient elution of the mobile phase, which was composed of 0.1% formic acid in water (Solvent A) and methanol (Solvent B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The typical standard curve equation was <i>Y</i> = 0.763<i>X</i> + 0.0986 (<i>r</i> = 0.9993), demonstrating a good linear relationship within the range of 0.5-30 μg/mL. All methodological outcomes complied with regulatory guidelines. In patients with moderate renal insufficiency, it is advisable to reduce the dosage to 100 mg once daily. For patients with severe renal insufficiency, the dosage should be reduced to 1/3-1/4 of the standard dose. For patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), indobufen can be gradually eliminated, and most patients do not require dose adjustment.</p>","PeriodicalId":14974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry","volume":"2026 ","pages":"2232924"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13408705/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148619827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
