Two tartaric acid adduct degradation products namely dipyridamole tartaric acid monoester and dipyridamole ditartaric acid ester are observed in a dipyridamole capsule formulation. The adduct impurities are inevitable in the formulation due to the interaction of multilayers of dipyridamole on tartaric acid pellets. Present study reported a simple procedure for generating these two major adducts degradation products from a mixture of dipyridamole drug substance and tartaric acid by stress study. The obtained stress mixture was characterized by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to assure the identity of adduct degradant impurities. The obtained solid stress mixture was stable for more than one year and the prepared solution can be used as reference solution to identify both the degradants during related substance analysis. Practically, the identification of tartaric acid degradants applied to the British pharmacopeia monograph related substances method, where no mechanism for identification of these adduct impurities was described. This study establishes relative retention times for the British pharmacopeia method, which enables the chemist to monitor these two major degradants during quality control release testing and shelf life stability. The same kind of experimental approach for identifying tartaric acid adduct impurities in the British pharmacopeia method can be extended to any of the in-house laboratory-developed related substance methods.

Background: Regadenoson is an A2A adenosine receptor agonist that is a coronary vasodilator and commonly used as a pharmacologic cardiac stressing agents. Methods: HPLC method was used for the analysis of related substances. The degraded impurities during the process were isolated and characterized by IR, Mass and NMR spectral analysis. Results: Forced degradation study of regadenoson under conditions of hydrolysis (neutral, acidic and alkaline) and oxidations suggested in the ICH Q1A(R2) was accomplished. The drug showed significant degradation under all the above conditions. On the whole, five novel degradation products were found under diverse conditions along with process related impurities which were not reported earlier. Conclusion: All the degradation products were well characterized by using advanced spectroscopic techniques like IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectra. The identification of these impurities will be productive for the quality control during the production and stability behavior of the regadenoson drug substance.

Abstract The characterization of process-related impurities and degradation products of safinamide mesilate (SAFM) in bulk drug and a stability-indicating HPLC method for the separation and quantification of all the impurities were investigated. Four process-related impurities (Imp-B, Imp-C, Imp-D, and Imp-E) were found in the SAFM bulk drug. Five degradation products (Imp-A, Imp-C, Imp-D, Imp-E, and Imp-F) were observed in SAFM under oxidative conditions. Imp-C, Imp-D, and Imp-E were also degradation products and process-related impurities. Remarkably, one new compound, identified as (S)-2-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy) benzamido] propanamide (i.e., Imp-D), is being reported here as an impurity for the first time. Furthermore, the structures of the aforementioned impurities were characterized and confirmed via IR, NMR, and MS techniques, and the most probable formation mechanisms of all impurities proposed according to the synthesis route. Optimum separation was achieved on an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), using 0.1% formic acid in water (pH adjusted to 5.0) and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient mode. The proposed method was found to be stability-indicating, precise, linear, accurate, sensitive, and robust for the quantitation of SAFM and its process-related substances, including its degradation products.

Abstract A simple procedure was developed for in vitro synthesis and characterization of aflatoxin B1-lysine adduct using aflatoxin B1, N-α-acetyl lysine and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA). At a molar ratio of 1:16 (aflatoxin B1:N-α-cetyl lysine), the recovery of adduct was 62%. Analysis of the adduct by thinlayer chromatography showed a single spot (Rf= 0). Absorption spectra of the adduct showed 2 peaks at 275 and 335 nm. Liquid chromatographic (LC) analysis of th AFB1-lysine adduct showed a relative retention time of 2.1 min. Using the same epoxidation procedure, BSA-AFB1 adduct and ovalbumin-AFB1 adduct were synthesized for production of antibodies and as coating antigen, respectively. Control rat serum, spiked with AFB1-lysine adduct and subjected to LC analysis showed a retention time of 2.1 min, which is similar to that of AFB1-lysine reference standard, synthesized. Further, enzymatically hydrolyzed, control rat serum spiked with BSA-AFB1 adduct showed 2 peaks with retention times of 2.1 and 2.7 min. Based on the LC analysis, recovery of BSA-AFB1 in terms of AFB1-lysine adducts was 67 ± 5%. The major peak (2.1 min) accounted for 72% of the adduct; the second minor peak (2.7 min) accounted for 28% of the total AFB1-lysine adducts formed. Stability studies on the AFB1-lysine adduct synthesized, indicated that it was stable for 1 month. Antibody capture assay showed an absorbance of 0.9 to 1.0 at a dilution of 1:50 000 when ovalbumin-AFB1 was used as a coating antigen. Indirect competitive ELISA showed 50% displacement (IC50) of the antibodies at a concentration of 13 ng AFB1-lysine, whereas the IC50 for AFB1 was 7 ng. The recovery of AFB1-lysine adduct spiked to control rat serum followed by enzymatic hydrolysis and immunoanalysis (indirect ELISA) was 93 ± 6%. The enzyme immunoassay was validated by a rodent model, in which the animals were exposed to aflatoxin B1 (20 μg AFB1/kg body mass/day). The level of AFB1-lysine adduct in the rat serum was 27.3 ± 4.37 μg/mg albumin.

Quality control of pharmaceuticals requires development of fast, efficient and reliable methods for determination of active compounds as well as known and very often unknown impurities within defined concentration ranges. In this work, a simple and rapid HPLC-UV-DAD method for identification and quantification of pholcodine process related impurities and some degradation products was developed and validated. Pholcodine and its five structural analogues such as morphine, codeine, thebaine, oripavine, and papaverine were separated in less than 10 minutes using reversed phase LiChrospher C-8 column. For optimal chromatographic performance with reproducible retention times, gradient elution with 2% ammonium hydroxide in water and acetonitrile was used. The method was validated by establishing its selectivity, specifity, sensitivity, linearity, intra- and inter-day precision and robustness. All tested parameters confirmed that the method is suitable for determination of pholcodine and its five impurities in pharmaceutical drug samples. The results obtained from real sample analysis give support to the suitability of the proposed method for the purpose of quality control.

Background: A stability indicating high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for the evaluation of fisetin (FIS) in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and marketed capsule formulation in accordance with the ICH guidelines. Methods: The mobile phase combination toluene: ethyl acetate: formic acid: methanol (3: 5.5: 1: 0.5 v/v/v/v) was optimized with the aid of AQbD approach. The absorbance mode at 254 nm was chosen for densitometric analysis as it gives a compact spot of FIS at Rf value of 0.74. Results: The R2 value obtained from the linear regression equation of calibration plots made by taking the spot in the concentration range of 100-1400 ng/spot was found to be 0.9993. The observed LOD and LOQ value was found to be 29.8 ng/spot and 98.5 ng/spot, respectively. The exposure of FIS to various stress conditions revealed the fact that the drug is stable in photochemical and dry heat stress conditions without any degradation. The drug-exposed to acidic, alkaline and oxidative stress was found to be degraded into different degradation products with the highest degradation was found in alkaline stress. All degradation products were observed to be fairly separated from well-resolved parent peak of FIS. Conclusion: The developed HPTLC method have shown well-resolved peaks and also shown good recovery in the compound FIS as well as FIS formulation.
