Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical analysis, and particularly to a method for determining three kinds of methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Background Art

[0002] Prefurcavir mesylate tablets are a class 1 innovative drug independently developed by Xi'an Glaxo New Tong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which was just approved for marketing on October 28, 2024, and can be regarded as a new force in the field of anti-hepatitis B virus. The antiviral efficacy of this drug in phase I to III clinical trials is comparable to that of the first-line drug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, and it avoids the common renal toxicity risks of traditional nucleoside drugs. It provides a new treatment option with both efficacy and safety for patients with chronic hepatitis B.

[0003] This drug is a newly launched drug. After a comprehensive search of a large number of literatures and patents, at present, the research on prefurcavir mesylate tablets mainly focuses on the synthesis, purification process and pharmacodynamics fields, and there are obvious deficiencies in the research on impurities, especially genotoxic impurities. According to the prefurcavir mesylate drug synthesis and purification processes disclosed in Chinese patents with publication numbers CN102827206A and CN112010905A, it is found that low-grade alcohols such as methanol and ethanol used as nucleophiles are prone to nucleophilic substitution side reactions with methanesulfonic acid or its derivatives, generating methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl methanesulfonate impurities. In addition, the methanesulfonic acid salt formation reaction is at the end of the drug synthesis process. If the starting material of methanesulfonic acid itself carries methylsulfonate impurities, during the salt formation process, these impurities will directly enter the drug end product along with the reaction process, ultimately resulting in the risk of residual methylsulfonate impurities in the drug. Methylsulfonate impurities are DNA reactive substances and still have the risk of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis at extremely low levels. According to the guiding principles of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and the current 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, strict control of impurities that may cause genotoxicity during the drug synthesis and purification processes is required. However, there is currently a lack of effective detection methods for such genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a qualitative and quantitative method for methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets at the trace level for daily inspection or drug quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a method for determining three kinds of methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This detection method can efficiently and accurately determine the methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets, and can effectively overcome the defects existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] The present application provides a method for determining three kinds of methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities in prefurcavir mesylate tablets by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] (1) Weigh precisely three kinds of methylsulfonate genotoxic impurities and place them separately in volumetric flasks. Dissolve them with ethyl acetate and dilute to the scale, then shake well to obtain three single-standard stock solutions. Precisely measure the three single-standard stock solutions and place them in the same volumetric flask, dilute to the scale with ethyl acetate, and shake well to obtain a mixed standard solution. Pipette an appropriate amount of the mixed standard solution and dilute it with ethyl acetate to form a series of mixed standard series solutions with different mass concentrations.

[0007] (2) Preparation of test solution: Weigh precisely an appropriate amount of the fine powder of prefurcavir mesylate tablets, place it in a centrifuge tube, add ethyl acetate, shake well, extract by ultrasonic treatment, and filter through an organic filter membrane to obtain the test solution.

[0008] (3) Rapid qualitative screening: Take the test solution and the mixed standard series solutions, and determine them under the same test conditions. If chromatographic peaks of quantitative ions and qualitative ions appear in the test solution, the retention time of the characteristic ion peak of the analyte is consistent with the retention time of the corresponding standard solution at the same concentration, and the maximum deviation of the relative abundance ratio of the selected qualitative ions from the relative abundance ratio of the qualitative ions of the corresponding standard solution at the same concentration should not exceed the corresponding standard, then it can be determined that the corresponding detection component exists in the test solution.

[0009] (4) Quantitative determination: Take the mixed standard series solutions and determine them in turn. Use the series concentrations of the analytes as the abscissa and the peak areas of the analytes as the ordinate to perform linear regression and establish a standard curve. Take the test solution and determine it. Substitute the peak area of the corresponding quantitative ion chromatographic peak into the linear regression equation to calculate the content of each component in the test solution.

[0018] Preferably, in step (1), the series of mass concentrations of the mixed standard series solution are 0.010, 0.020, 0.050, 0.12, 0.20 μg / mL respectively.

[0019] Preferably, in step (2), the ultrasonic extraction time is 10 min, and the pore size of the organic filter membrane is 0.22 μm.

[0020] Preferably, in step (3), the corresponding criteria are:

[0021] When the relative ion abundance ratio k > 50%, the maximum allowable deviation is ±20%; when 20% < relative ion abundance ratio k ≤ 50%, the maximum allowable deviation is ±25%; when 10% < relative ion abundance ratio k ≤ 20%, the maximum allowable deviation is ±30%; when the relative ion abundance ratio k ≤ 10%, the maximum allowable deviation is ±50%.

[0022] This application constructs a specific detection method for the genotoxic impurities - methyl methanesulfonate, ethyl methanesulfonate and isopropyl methanesulfonate that may be generated during the synthesis and purification of the new drug prefuroviral mesylate tablets. This method has many advantages: First, it fills the blank in the field of genotoxic impurity detection of this new drug, providing key support for the safety evaluation and quality control of this drug; second, it can accurately monitor the alkyl methanesulfonate impurities in the drug, helping pharmaceutical companies effectively prevent potential medication risks during the production process and significantly improving the drug quality; third, the operation process of this method is simple, the sample pretreatment is easy to carry out, greatly shortening the detection time and improving the detection efficiency, and it can be stably and reliably applied to actual detection.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. This study focuses on the detection of genotoxic impurities, namely alkyl sulfonates, during the synthesis of the newly launched anti-hepatitis B virus drug (Prevefovir Mesylate Tablets), filling the research gap in this field and improving the comprehensive understanding of this drug. Through analysis, it can be seen that the alkyl sulfonate impurities in Prevefovir Mesylate Tablets mainly come from two aspects: one is side reactions, and the other is the starting material, methanesulfonic acid. These alkyl sulfonate impurities are genotoxic warning substances. By deeply analyzing the drug synthesis process and establishing a detection method for genotoxic impurities, from the perspective of medication safety, this is of great significance for strictly controlling drug quality. It can effectively reduce the possibility of potential health risks caused by patients taking drugs containing such impurities, providing a strong guarantee for the medication safety of patients. From the perspective of the conditions for impurity generation, studying the genotoxic impurities that are likely to be generated in the main drug synthesis route is also of positive significance for the analysis of main component impurities.

[0025] 2. According to the ICH guidelines and the regulations of the European Medicines Agency on genotoxic impurities, combined with the maximum daily dosage of this drug, the limit standards for alkyl sulfonates in Prevefovir Mesylate Tablets were clarified (both shall not exceed 0.003%). This application established a GC-MS method for the detection of sulfonate impurities to ensure that the drug R & D and production processes meet the strict requirements of global drug regulatory authorities for the control of genotoxic impurities.

[0026] 3. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method established in this experiment has significant advantages in terms of simplicity of operation, specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. The operation process of this method is simple, and the sample pretreatment is easy to implement, greatly shortening the detection time and improving the detection efficiency. By using the selected ion monitoring mode (SIM) for qualitative and quantitative analysis of target compounds, it effectively avoids the interference of the matrix and co-eluting substances, ensuring the reliability of the detection results. In terms of sensitivity, this method has low detection limits and quantification limits for methyl sulfonate, ethyl sulfonate, and isopropyl sulfonate, and can accurately detect extremely low levels of alkyl sulfonate impurities, ensuring the rigor of drug quality control. In addition, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the repeatability test is less than 5%, and the average recoveries at different concentration levels are between 92.47% and 110.31%, with RSD of 3.66% - 4.11%, indicating that this method has good repeatability and high accuracy, and can be stably and reliably used for actual detection.

[0027] 4. In summary, the GC-MS method established in this application for the determination of three genotoxic sulfonate impurities in Prevefovir Mesylate Tablets is simple to operate, has good specificity, high sensitivity, and good accuracy. It is applicable to the simultaneous detection of 3 sulfonate genotoxic impurities in Prevefovir Mesylate Tablets, providing strong technical support for the quality control and standard establishment of this new drug, and helping to ensure the medication safety of patients.
