Abstract A dynamic headspace gas chromatographic method was developed for the determination of residual ethylene oxide (EtO) in a pharmaceutical bulk drug, spectinomycin hydrochloride. The recommended column is PoraPLOT Q; PoraPLOT U was demonstrated to be equivalent. A detection limit of 2 ppb was achieved, and linearity was established to the highest value tested (5 ppm). The detection limit was 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than that achieved in previously published methods for EtO in pharmaceutical bulk drugs. Precision studies yielded relative standard deviations ranging from 2 to 10% over the 10-575 ppb concentration range. The method was applied to support EtO sterilization studies conducted at The Upjohn Company and was implemented for routine use. The sterilization studies demonstrated that residual levels of EtO <10 ppb are achievable.

Formaldehyde is a highly reactive impurity that can be found in many pharmaceutical excipients. Trace levels of this impurity may affect drug product stability, safety, efficacy, and performance. A static headspace gas chromatographic method was developed and validated to determine formaldehyde in pharmaceutical excipients after an effective derivatization procedure using acidified ethanol. Diethoxymethane, the derivative of formaldehyde, was then directly analyzed by GC-FID. Despite the simplicity of the developed method, however, it is characterized by its specificity, accuracy, and precision. The limits of detection and quantification of formaldehyde in the samples were of 2.44 and 8.12 µg/g, respectively. This method is characterized by using simple and economic GC-FID technique instead of MS detection, and it is successfully used to analyze formaldehyde in commonly used pharmaceutical excipients.
