[0036] This invention provides a method for determining methionine and its impurities using high-performance liquid chromatography, comprising:

[0037] A) Dissolve the sample to be tested in water to obtain the test solution;

[0038] B) The test solution was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography to obtain a chromatogram of the test solution;

[0039] The chromatographic parameters are:

[0040] The chromatographic column is an XB-SCX column; the mobile phase is isocratic elution; the mobile phase is an aqueous solution containing 0.09%–0.11% formic acid and 0.09%–0.11% diethylamine.

[0041] The samples to be tested in this invention include products containing methionine and its impurities.

[0042] Methionine sulfoxide is obtained by the oxidation and destruction of methionine.

[0043] Sample information:

[0044] Methionine 20230207 Xiuzheng Pharmaceutical Group Liuhe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Methionine 230401 Tonghua Youkang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Serine P2075348 Shanghai Titan Technology Co., Ltd.

[0045] The impurities described in this invention include methionine sulfoxide and serine.

[0046] The method for determining methionine and its impurities by high performance liquid chromatography provided by the present invention first involves dissolving the sample to be tested in water to obtain a test solution.

[0047] The sample to be tested is dissolved in water to obtain the test solution.

[0048] The present invention utilizes the above-mentioned extraction solvent, which provides a large amount of chromatographic peak information and yields good results.

[0049] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the mass-to-volume ratio of the sample to be tested and water is 5 mg: 1 mL.

[0050] The present invention also includes the preparation of a reference solution: methionine, serine and methionine sulfoxide are dissolved in water respectively to obtain a reference solution.

[0051] According to the present invention, in the reference solution, the injection concentration of serine solution is 1.62–25.92 μg / mL; and the injection concentration of methionine sulfoxide is 0.16–25.25 μg / mL.

[0052] The test solution was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain a chromatogram of the test solution; the reference solution was analyzed by HPLC to obtain a chromatogram of the reference; and the components of the chromatogram of the test solution were qualitatively or quantitatively determined based on the chromatogram of the reference.

[0054] The chromatographic column was an XB-SCX column;

[0055] The XB-SCX column of this invention is a strong cation exchange column, and the packing material is a silica matrix with phenylsulfonic acid groups bonded on it.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chromatographic column is an Ultimate XB-SCX chromatographic column with dimensions of 250×4.6mm and 5μm.

[0057] The present invention achieves symmetrical chromatographic peaks and good resolution under the above-mentioned chromatographic column conditions.

[0058] According to the present invention, the above is isocratic elution.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phase is an aqueous solution containing 0.09% to 0.11% formic acid and 0.09% to 0.11% diethylamine.

[0060] In this invention, the peaks of methionine, methionine sulfoxide, and serine are well separated and do not interfere with each other, and the response values ​​and peak shapes are also good.

[0061] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phase is an aqueous solution containing 0.1% formic acid and 0.09% diethylamine.

[0062] The present invention creatively discovers that when the mobile phase composition is mobile phase 3: water (containing 0.1% formic acid and 0.09% diethylamine), the separation between peaks is better than that of other mobile phases.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments, the column temperature is 30°C.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, the injection volume is 20 μL;

[0066] In some preferred embodiments, the flow rate is 1.0 ml / min.

[0067] The present invention found that the chromatographic peaks were well separated and the peak shapes were more symmetrical at a flow rate of 1 ml / min, which is the optimal solution.

[0068] In some preferred embodiments, the detection wavelength is 210 nm.

[0069] The inventors have discovered that the chromatographic information is abundant at 210 nm, all components have good absorption, the response value is moderate, the peaks are well separated, and the baseline is stable.

[0070] The quantitative detection concentration of methionine sulfoxide described in this invention is 0.32 μg / ml, with a limit of 0.006% and a minimum detection concentration of 0.16 μg / ml, with a limit of 0.0032%; the quantitative detection concentration of serine is 3.2 μg / ml, with a limit of 0.065% and a minimum detection concentration of 1.6 μg / ml, with a limit of 0.032%. The resolution between methionine sulfoxide and serine described in this invention is 1.72–2.17; the resolution between serine and methionine is 1.72–1.84.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, the methionine sulfoxide, serine and methionine of the present invention have high separation degree and strong specificity.

[0072] This invention provides a method for determining methionine and its impurities using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), comprising: A) dissolving the sample in water to obtain a test solution; B) analyzing the test solution using HPLC to obtain a chromatogram of the test solution; the chromatographic parameters are: an XB-SCX column; isocratic elution of the mobile phase; and an aqueous solution containing 0.09%–0.11% formic acid and 0.09%–0.11% diethylamine. This invention uses HPLC analysis to determine methionine and its impurities, and other components in the test solution do not interfere with the detection of methionine sulfoxide and serine. This invention achieves rapid and effective simultaneous detection of methionine sulfoxide and serine in methionine, exhibiting good specificity, robustness, and high detection sensitivity.
