Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug analysis, and in particular to a method for detecting genotoxic impurity acryloyl chloride in ibrutinib. Background Art

[0002] Ibrutinib, also known as Ibrutinib, is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by regulating apoptosis and cell cycle. It was first developed by Celera Genomics in the United States in 2007, and then transferred to Pharmacyclics in California for development. In 2011, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, participated in the co-development. It is commonly used in clinical treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small cell lymphocytic lymphoma.

[0003] The chemical name of ibrutinib is 1-[(3R)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-piperidinyl]-2-propene-1-one, which mainly uses 3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-[3,4-d]pyrazolopyrimidin-4-aminepiperidine and (S)-1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-hydroxypiperidine as starting materials to generate intermediate 1, intermediate 1 is de-Boc-ed to generate intermediate 2, and intermediate 2 is further reacted with acryloyl chloride to generate ibrutinib. The reaction process is shown below.

[0004]

[0005] Acyl halide compounds have warning structures and are potential genotoxic impurities that may be genotoxic and carcinogenic. Regulatory agencies in various countries attach great importance to the detection of residual acyl halide compounds in drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a highly specific and sensitive method to control this type of impurity.

[0006] Acyl chloride compounds are active and highly reactive. Direct detection by HPLC or GC often results in poor reproducibility and inaccurate results. They are also corrosive to instruments and chromatographic columns. Through previous literature review, it was found that acyl chloride compounds are mostly detected by GC or GC-MS after chemical derivatization. The HPLC method is relatively rare, and there is no report on the detection of low-limit acryloyl chloride. According to the instructions, the maximum daily dose of ibrutinib is 560 mg. Based on the TTC calculation in ICH M7 (R1), the maximum acceptable daily intake of a single mutagenic impurity is 1.5 μg. The limit of genotoxic impurity acryloyl chloride is calculated to be 2.68 ppm. This limit is relatively low and often requires the use of more sensitive instruments such as mass spectrometry to complete the detection. Therefore, how to effectively determine the trace amount of acryloyl chloride in ibrutinib is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0072] Table 2 Test results of three batches of test products

[0073]

[0074] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that acryloyl chloride was not detected in the three batches of test samples, which met the limit requirements (≤2.68ppm).

[0075] 1.5 Methodological Validation:

[0076] (1) Specificity and system applicability investigation

[0077] Take blank solution, specific solution, reference solution and test solution and test them according to the chromatographic conditions in 1.1. The reference solution is injected 5 times continuously and the others are injected 1 time each. The chromatogram of the specific solution is as follows: Figure 4 The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0078] Table 3 Specificity and system suitability test results

[0079]

[0080] From the results in Table 3, it can be seen that in this method, the blank solution and the test solution have no interference with the detection of acryloyl chloride, and the RSD of the peak area of ​​acryloyl chloride in the 5-pronged reference solution is less than 10%, indicating that the method has good specificity and the instrument system has good precision.

[0081] (2) Investigation of limit of quantification and limit of detection

[0082] The reference stock solution 3 was diluted to a certain concentration for derivatization treatment. The concentration when the impurity peak signal-to-noise ratio was about 10:1 was taken as the quantitative limit concentration, and 6 injections of the quantitative limit solution were injected continuously. The concentration when the impurity peak signal-to-noise ratio was about 3:1 was taken as the detection limit concentration, and 2 injections of the detection limit solution were injected continuously. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0083] Table 4 Quantitation limit and detection limit test results

[0084]

[0085] It can be seen from the results in Table 4 that the detection limit and quantification limit of acryloyl chloride in the method of the present invention are low, indicating that the detection sensitivity of the method is high and can fully meet the determination requirements.

[0086] (3) Linearity and range investigation

[0087] The reference substance stock solution 3 was diluted to prepare linear solutions of different concentrations and then subjected to derivatization treatment. Samples were injected separately and the standard curve was drawn with concentration as the horizontal axis and peak area as the vertical axis. The linearity and range results are shown in Table 5.

[0088] Table 5 Linearity and range test results

[0089] name Linear equations Correlation coefficient scope Acryloyl chloride y=70.978x+0.42 0.9990 0.0142 μg / mL~0.1838 μg / mL

[0090] It can be seen from the results in Table 5 that acryloyl chloride has a good linear relationship in the method of the present invention.

[0091] (4) Precision inspection

[0092] According to the test solution preparation method in 1.2, 6 samples were prepared in parallel and tested separately. The repeatability results are shown in Table 6.

[0093] Table 6 Repeatability test results

[0094]

[0095] Another experimenter prepared 6 test solutions in parallel at different times according to the test solution preparation method in 1.2, and tested them on another instrument according to the chromatographic conditions in 1.1. The intermediate precision results are shown in Table 7.

[0096] Table 7 Intermediate precision test results

[0097]

[0098] It can be seen from the results in Tables 6 and 7 that acryloyl chloride was not detected in any of the 12 test solutions, and the method had good precision.

[0099] (5) Accuracy test

[0100] Weigh the test sample accurately, add the reference stock solution 3 quantitatively, and further derivatize to prepare the recovery solution. Prepare 3 copies of each of the high, medium and low concentrations in parallel. The accuracy results are shown in Table 8.

[0101] Table 8 Accuracy test results

[0102]

[0103] From the results in Table 8, it can be seen that the recoveries of acryloyl chloride measured by this method are all in the range of 70.0% to 130.0%, and the recovery RSD is less than 10%, indicating that the detection accuracy of this method is good.

[0104] (6) Durability test

[0105] The column temperature (±5°C), flow rate (±0.1mL / min), mobile phase pH (±0.2), initial mobile phase ratio (±5%), injection volume (±2μL), and chromatographic column number (1# and 2# are two chromatographic columns from different batches of XBridge ShieldRP18) in 1.1 chromatographic conditions were fine-tuned respectively. Other conditions remained unchanged and the tests were carried out in sequence. The durability results are shown in Table 9.

[0106] Table 9 Durability test results

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] From the results in Table 9, it can be seen that after fine-tuning the chromatographic conditions, the system applicability still meets the requirements, has no effect on the detection of impurities, and the method is highly durable.

[0110] (7) Solution stability

[0111] The reference solution and the test solution were placed at room temperature for about 80 hours and tested at different time points. The solution stability results are shown in Table 10.

[0112] Table 10 Solution stability test results

[0113]

[0114] From the results in Table 10, it can be seen that the reference solution and the test solution are placed at room temperature for about 80 hours without affecting the measurement results, and the stability is good.

[0115] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
