[0053] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides an LC-MS method for detecting the warning structure impurity A and the warning structure impurity B-ZZ1 in ziprasidone. The conditions of the comparative example LC-MS analysis method are as follows: (1) Chromatographic column: Shim Pack Velox Biphenyl 2.7 μm, 2.1 × 100 mm (2) Chromatographic conditions: 5 mM ammonium acetate as mobile phase A; methanol as mobile phase B; flow rate of 0.5 ml / min; column temperature of 40 °C; injection volume of 20 μl; gradient elution according to the following table:
[0054] (3) Mass spectrometry conditions: electrospray ionization (ESI) source; selected ion detection mode (SIM); drying gas temperature of 350°C; drying gas flow rate of 12 L / min; nebulizing gas pressure of 45 Psig; capillary voltage of 3000 V; fragmentation voltage of 70 V; m / z = 208 negative ion was selected to detect impurity B-ZZ1, m / z = 242 negative ion was selected to detect impurity A; m / z = 413 positive ion was selected to detect ziprasidone, and the mass spectrometry acquisition time was 5-20 min.
[0055] Solution preparation: Mixed solution: Weigh 10 mg each of impurity A reference substance, impurity B-ZZ1 reference substance and ziprasidone sample, place in the same 10 ml volumetric flask, dissolve and dilute to the scale with N,N-dimethylformamide, shake well, the concentration is about 1 mg / ml; accurately pipette 0.1 ml of the solution, place in a 10 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the scale with N,N-dimethylformamide, shake well, the concentration is about 10 μg / ml; accurately pipette 0.08 ml of the solution, place in a 10 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the scale with 50% volume of N,N-dimethylformamide aqueous solution, shake well, the concentration is about 80 ng / ml.
[0056] The mixed solution was sampled and tested. The results are shown in Table 8 and Appendix Figure 8 The retention time of ziprasidone, impurity A and impurity B-ZZ1 differed by more than 5 minutes, and the separation was good.
[0057] Table 8
[0058] Comparative Example 2 This comparative example provides an LC-MS method for detecting the analytical method of warning structure impurity A and warning structure impurity B-ZZ1 in ziprasidone, which is different from comparative example 1 only in that the mobile phase A is a 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution.
[0059] The mixed solution was sampled and tested. The results are shown in Table 9 and Appendix Fig. 9 , the retention time difference between ziprasidone and impurity A was less than 1 minute, and the separation between the two was significantly deteriorated.

When the mobile phase A selects an acidic buffered salt solution, compared with the embodiment, the separation of ziprasidone and impurity A is poor, and the response of impurity B-ZZ1 is lower.
