In this study, five minor impurities (I, II, III, IV, and V) were identified and analyzed using spectroscopic evidence, chemical synthetic methods, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The impurities included hydrolysates and oxidation by-products extracted from both the drug in its final formulation and during synthesis. Toxicity prediction revealed potential carcinogenicity of impurity V containing an N-oxygen fragment. A reliable and selective HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of impurities I-IV and a sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for potential genotoxic impurity V were developed and optimized. The methods were validated based on the International Council for Harmonization guidelines. Satisfactory linearity was obtained for the analytes over the range of 0.1-2.0 <i>μ</i>g/mL for impurities I-IV and 0.3-30.0 ng/mL for impurity V, and in all cases, the fitting correlation coefficients exceeded 0.999. The obtained limits of detection values were 0.05 ng/mL and 0.005 <i>μ</i>g/mL for impurity V and impurities I-IV, respectively. The precision and repeatability of the methods were less than 1.08% and 8.72% for each impurity. The recovery percentages of all impurities were in the range of 91.18%-111.27%, with the relative standard deviation of less than 3.69%.

A new method is presented for the simultaneous determination of 10 flavonoids (including flavonoid glycosides and aglycones) in FFA using the quantitative analysis of multicomponents via a single marker (QAMS) approach and is used to investigate changes in flavonoids during fermentation. The viability and precision of QAMS were validated against the ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), with various UPLC instruments and chromatographic conditions being evaluated. Differences between raw Fructus Aurantii (RFA) and FFA were examined using orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) and content determination. The influence of various fermentation conditions on flavonoids was also investigated. There were no appreciable differences between the QAMS and the external standard method (ESM), demonstrating that QAMS is an improved method for the determination of FA and FFA. FFA and RFA can be readily distinguished based on OPLS-DA chemometric modelling and the corresponding chromatograms. In addition, the flavonoid changes after fermentation. Fermentation considerably reduced the contents of flavonoid glycosides, while increasing hesperidin-7-O-glucoside and flavonoid aglycones. Moreover, fermentation conditions impact multiple flavonoids in FA, so controlling these conditions is necessary for the quality control of fermented FA products.

The samples were suspended in 50% MeOH in water, diluted with mobile phase, with separation and detection accomplished using LC-MS/MS to determine analyte concentration.
