[0097] The technical solution of the present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Therefore, based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0098] In this invention, the test sample is a solution of naphthostat mesylate Z1 as the main component, and the test sample contains naphthostat mesylate Z1, as well as impurity SM1 and impurity SM2. 1i Impurities SM 1j Impurity Z 1a Impurity Z 1b Impurity Z 1c Impurity Z 1d Impurity Z 1f Impurity Z 1g Impurity Z 1h Any one or more of the following.

[0099] The sample to be tested may also contain other unspecified compounds, which refer to other impurities that may be introduced when naphthostat mesylate Z1 is prepared using conventional methods known in the art.

[0100] Unless otherwise stated, all numerical values ​​of parameters and similar expressions used in this invention are to be understood as being modified by the term "approximately." That is, these values ​​are allowed a reasonable deviation or error range in practical applications and do not need to strictly conform to the given precise values. Unless otherwise indicated, the numerical parameters set forth in this invention are approximate values ​​that can be varied to obtain the desired performance.

[0101] Unless otherwise stated, the terms or phrases used in this invention should not be considered uncertain or unclear unless specifically defined, but should be understood in accordance with their ordinary meaning in the art.

[0102] In this invention, the term "high-performance liquid chromatography" (HPLC), also known as "high-pressure liquid chromatography," "high-speed liquid chromatography," "high-resolution liquid chromatography," or "modern column chromatography," is a chromatographic analysis technique based on classical liquid chromatography and incorporating gas chromatography theory. HPLC uses a liquid as the mobile phase and employs a high-pressure delivery system to pump a single solvent or a mixture of solvents and buffer solutions with different polarities into a chromatographic column packed with a stationary phase. After separation within the column, the components are detected by a detector, thus enabling the analysis of the sample. This method can be used to separate, identify, and quantify various complex samples.

[0103] In this invention, specificity, also known as selectivity or particularity, refers to the ability of an analytical method to accurately and selectively identify the analyte when other components may be present in the sample. Specificity is a measure of mutual interference when a method is used to analyze complex samples. This invention verifies whether the HPLC method has sufficient specificity to ensure accurate and error-free determination of the target analyte in complex samples.

[0104] In this invention, the limit of detection (LOD) refers to the minimum concentration or content of a target compound that an analytical method can reliably detect. Determining the detection sensitivity of an HPLC method, i.e., its ability to identify the lowest concentration of the target analyte in a sample, helps evaluate the reliability of the method at extremely low concentrations.

[0105] In this invention, the limit of quantitation (LOQ) refers to the lowest concentration or content of a target compound that an analytical method can reliably quantify. The LOQ reflects the sensitivity and quantitative detection capability of an analytical method, determining at what concentration an HPLC method can accurately and reliably quantify the target analyte.

[0106] In this invention, robustness refers to the degree to which the measurement results are unaffected by small changes in the measurement conditions. It is mainly used to test the ability of an analytical method to resist interference from variable test factors.

[0107] In this embodiment of the invention, the compound information is shown in Table 1.
