Background: Presence of residual solvents in pharmaceuticals can be a potential risk factor to human health because of its toxicity. Gas chromatography used for its excellent separation abilities and lower limit of detection. Racecadotril, an antidiarrheal drug, reported having four residual solvents, namely n-Hexane, isopropyl alcohol, toluene and dimethylformamide. Estimation the amount of these solvents in active pharmaceutical ingredients to ensure that they are within the permissible limits as per ICH guidelines necessary. <p> Objective: To develop and validate a new, simple and sensitive gas chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of n-Hexane, isopropyl alcohol, toluene and dimethylformamide in racecadotril. <p> Method: The residual solvents of racecadotril estimated using a gas chromatographic method by direct injection using FID as a detector. This method employed a 30-meter long DB-FFAP nitroterephthalic-acid-modified polyethene glycol column with 0.53 mm in inner diameter and 1 μm film thickness. The separation achieved using nitrogen as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 2.8 mL/min using a split ratio of 1:10. <p> Results: The peak shape for all the residual solvents from racecadotril was symmetric with excellent resolution eluting at reasonable retention time. The limit of detection of n-Hexane, isopropyl alcohol, Toluene and dimethylformamide found to be 6, 27, 14 and 42 ppm respectively. The developed method exhibited excellent linearity for each residual solvents in the range studied. <p> Conclusion: The developed gas chromatographic method is simple, specific, precise, accurate and sensitive. Hence, the method can be successfully used in the pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories for simultaneous determination of residual solvents in racecadotril active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract We describe a sensitive and precise gas-chromatographic method in which benzylmalonate methylester monoamide is used as the internal standard for the simultaneous determination of primidone, phenylethylmalonamide, carbamazepine, and diphenylhydantoin. The trimethylsilyl derivatives of the anticonvulsants are well separated from each other and from normal serum constituents. The lower limit of detection for each drug is 0.5 mg/liter when 1 ml of serum is analyzed. Withinrun precision (CV), established by analysis of 10 replicates, was as follows: primidone (5.4 mg/liter), 2.6%; phenylethylmalonamide (5.5 mg/liter), 1.6%; diphenylhydantoin (6.6 mg/liter), 3.8%; and carbamazepine (10.4 mg/liter), 3.2%. Fifty specimens were analyzed for primidone and 35 for diphenylhydantoin by a standard gas-chromatographic method involving on-column methylation and by the procedure we have developed. The mean value observed for primidone with the on-column alkylation procedure was 9.3 mg/liter and with our procedure was 9.6 mg/liter. When values for our assay were regressed against values for the standard method, the slope of the least-squares line was 0.936, the intercept was 1.00 mg/liter, and r was 0.939. The mean values observed for diphenylhydantoin by on-column methylation and with our procedure were both 12.6 mg/liter. When values for our assay were regressed against the standard method, the slope of the leastsquares line was 0.944, the intercept was 0.3 mg/liter, and r was 0.988

Abstract Background A simple and sensitive gas chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, dichloromethane, N-hexane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-diisopropyl ethyl amine in Paclitaxel. A chromatographic separation was done on DB-624 column, 30 m length × 0.53 mm ID, and film thickness 3 μm, using a flame ionization detector (FID) with gradient column oven temperature program. The injection was carried out in split mode, with a split ratio of 5:1. A mixture of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (contains 1% piperazine) and water in the ratio of 80:20 (v/v) was selected as a diluent to obtain good sensitivity along with the recovery. Results The developed gas chromatographic method offers symmetric peak shape, good resolution of more than 2.0 between the solvent peaks, and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections of all the solvents were found to be not more than 15.0% with reasonable retention time for all the solvents. The limit of detection for methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, dichloromethane, N-hexane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-diisopropyl ethyl amine was found to be 304.69 ppm, 497.98 ppm, 498.99 ppm, 504.49 ppm, 61.81 ppm, 30.07 ppm, 505 ppm, 73.05 ppm, and 2.09 ppm, respectively. Limit of quantitation of methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, dichloromethane, N-hexane, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, and N,N-diisopropyl ethyl amine was found to be 89.62 ppm, 146.47 ppm, 146.76 ppm, 148.38 ppm, 18.18 ppm, 8.84 ppm, 148.53 ppm, 21.49 ppm, and 0.62 ppm, respectively. Precision was found to be satisfactory. Linear in the range of LOQ to 150% level for all the solvents, and accuracy along with robustness, is performed, and acceptable results were obtained. Conclusion The proposed method was demonstrated to be simple, sensitive, specific, linear, precise, accurate, and robust, hence can be used to determine the residual organic solvents in Paclitaxel drug substance and drug product.

The aim of this work was the development and validation of a fast analytical method to determine the residual solvents content in radiopharmaceuticals such as: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), 18F-Fluoroestradiol (18F-FES), 18F-Fluorothymidine (18F-FLT),18F-Fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO). Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive preparations for medical purposes used in nuclear medicine as tracers in diagnostic imaging and treatment of certain diseases. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that consists in introducing into the body of a small amount of a biologically active chemical compound labelled with a short lived positron-emitting radioisotope (18F, 11C, 68Ga). Residual solvents are critical impurities in radiopharmaceuticals that can affect labelling, stability and physicochemical properties of drugs. Therefore, the determination of these solvents is essential for quality control of radiopharmaceuticals. Validation of the control method for residual solvents by gas chromatography is referred by the European Pharmacopoeia using a special injection technique (head space). The parameters of the method, which comply with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, are: accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification and robustness. The proposed method (direct gas chromatography injection) proved to be linear, precise, accurate and robust. Good linearity was achieved for all the solvents and correlation coefficients (R2) for each residual solvent were found more than 0.99.

The Pharmaceutical industry uses formic acid in the manufacturing of various drug substances or API. At the time of manufacturing of API formic acid is use as an oxidizing agent. Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. It also called methanoic acid.Formic acid present in API at high concentrations is very hazardous but in low concentrations is very beneficial. The developed and validated method was short, precise, cost effective and reproducible with FID detector and easy to use. The method is a selective and superficial analytical method for determination of formic acid in different drug substances. We report here the development and validation study of headspace gas chromatographic method to determine formic acid in different drug substances we are reported here. As per this method, the drug sample was dissolved in 0.1% (v/v) of concentrated sulfuric acid in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in a GC headspace vial and 0.1% (v/v) of concentrated sulfuric acid in isopropyl alcohol used as a diluent. A AB-Inowax capillary column (30 m x 0.32 mm I.D. and 0.5 µm film thickness) was used under gradient conditions with FID. The formic acid peak was well separated from all other solvents that are used in synthesis of particular drug substance. The LOD and LOQof the method for formic acid are 82 ppm and 249 ppm respectively. Formic acid are low toxic class-III solvent as per ICH guideline.
