Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical analysis, and particularly relates to a detection method of genotoxic impurities in moxifloxacin hydrochloride raw materials or preparations thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Moxifloxacin is chemically named as 1-cyclopropyl-7-﹛(S,S)-2,8-diazido- bicyclo[4.3.0]non-8-yl﹛-6-fluoro-8-methoxy-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, and its CAS number is 151096-09-2. The drug is an artificially synthesized quinolone antibacterial drug, which is used for treating related symptoms caused by respiratory tract infections, and its structural formula is as follows.

[0003]

[0004] The existing synthesis process of moxifloxacin hydrochloride and the existing process of moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets can cause the reaction of nitrosation reagent residues in raw materials or pipeline residues and moxifloxacin raw materials to generate genotoxic nitrosamine impurities N-nitroso-moxifloxacin, and its chemical structure is as follows.

[0005]

[0006] The above N-nitroso-moxifloxacin impurity is a nitrosamine genotoxic impurity, which needs to be strictly controlled in raw materials and tablets. According to the regulations of FDA or the European Union, the acceptable intake of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin is 1500 ng / day, and according to the ICH M7 guideline, the acceptable limit of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin in moxifloxacin raw materials and tablets = AI (ng / day) / MDD (mg / day) = 1500 ng / day / 400 mg / day = 3.75 ppm; wherein AI represents the acceptable daily intake, and MDD represents the maximum daily dose of the drug. The acceptable limit of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin in moxifloxacin raw materials and tablets is 3.75 ppm (calculated based on moxifloxacin), the detection limit (LOD) is 1 / 6 of the acceptable limit, and the detection limit (LOD) is generally required to be 0.625 ppm, and the quantitative limit (LOQ) is generally required to be 1.875 ppm.

[0007] Since the acceptable limit of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin in moxifloxacin hydrochloride bulk drug and tablet is only 3.75ppm, the detection sensitivity of the conventional high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) test method cannot meet the requirements, and there is a technical difficulty in sensitively and accurately detecting trace amounts of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin in moxifloxacin hydrochloride bulk drug and tablet. There is no report on the detection method of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin with a detection limit lower than 0.625ppm in the prior art. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a method for sensitively and accurately detecting N-nitroso-moxifloxacin in moxifloxacin hydrochloride and moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets, so as to accurately control the content of N-nitroso-moxifloxacin impurity in moxifloxacin hydrochloride bulk drug and tablet.
