It selectively inhibits the activity of JAK1 and JAK2 protein kinases, interfering with the inflammatory response and cell proliferation that depend on JAK-STAT signaling, thereby effectively improving the symptoms of related diseases.

[0003] The ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 is a D-DMTA (resolving agent) salt of ruxolitinib, and its structural formula is shown in Formula 1.

Among them, impurity SM 1b To ensure the quality of ruxolitinib mesylate API and formulations, quality control of ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 is necessary. However, there is currently a lack of existing technology for separating and determining the relevant impurities in ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2.

[0006] Some existing technologies report methods for separating and detecting ruxolitinib-related substances, but they are unable to achieve the separation and detection of ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its related impurities. For example, patent CN117517528A discloses a method for detecting related substances in ruxolitinib intermediates using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The chromatographic conditions include: chromatographic column: octadecylsilane bonded silica gel column; mobile phase: mobile phase A: dihydrogen phosphate solution with a pH of 2.0-4.0; mobile phase B: acetonitrile; gradient elution; and ultraviolet detection at a wavelength of 222 nm.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to establish a simple, efficient and sensitive method for the separation and determination of related impurities in ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2. Summary of the Invention

For example, the flow rate is 0.9 mL / min ( Figure 12 ); or a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min ( Figure 3 ); or a flow rate of 1.1 mL / min ( Figure 13 For example, the column temperature is 33°C ( Figure 14 ); or column temperature is 34℃; or column temperature is 35℃( Figure 3 ); or column temperature is 36℃; or column temperature is 37℃( Figure 15 ).

[0035] As the most preferred chromatography column, GL Inersil ODS-3, 4.6 mm×150 mm, 3 μm is selected.

[0036] Preferably, the chromatographic conditions further include: adding a mobile phase impurity trapping column, wherein the specification of the impurity trapping column is 4.6 mm×50 mm.

[0037] Most preferably, the impurity trapping column is a Ghost-Sniper Column, 4.6 mm × 50 mm.

[0045] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities, which can complete the identification of multiple substances in a relatively short time.

[0046] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0047] The method for identifying the ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities comprises separating the composition by the aforementioned separation method, and entering a detector for detection to obtain a chromatogram; and determining whether the test sample contains the ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities by comparing the chromatogram characteristics of the test sample with those of the reference sample.

[0048] As a preferred solution, the detector's detection wavelength is 220 ± 10 nm. This ± 10 nm range is based on a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including error tolerance, method superiority, and practical application requirements. This range helps ensure the reliability of test results, improves measurement repeatability and flexibility, and meets specific experimental requirements.

[0049] Most preferably, the detection wavelength of the detector is preferably 220 nm.

[0050] As a preferred solution, the components in the composition can be identified in the order of relative retention time. The components of the composition are in ascending order: impurity C, impurity SM 2d , thiocyanate, D-DMTA, impurity SM 1d , impurity D, impurity F, impurity Z 1b , Ruxolitinib, Impurity Z 1a , impurity B, impurity SM 1b , triphenylphosphine oxide, impurity SM2, impurity SM1, impurity Z1, impurity Z 1d , triphenylphosphine.

[0051] Relative retention time is typically used to describe the relative retention of different components in a mixture on a chromatographic column. It is the ratio of the retention time of a component to the retention time of a reference component (usually the main peak or a known component). This ratio reflects the relative retention performance of different components on the chromatographic column and is an important parameter used for positioning, qualitative, and quantitative analysis in chromatographic analysis. Relative retention time is calculated by dividing the retention time of the target component (tR) by the retention time of the reference component (tR0).

[0052] As a preferred solution, the main component of ruxolitinib in the intermediate Z2 of ruxolitinib mesylate is used as the reference peak, and the relative retention time is 0.15, which is determined to be impurity C; the relative retention time is 0.19, which is determined to be impurity SM 2d The relative retention time was 0.20, which was determined to be thiocyanate; the relative retention time was 0.39, which was determined to be D-DMTA; the relative retention time was 0.56, which was determined to be impurity SM 1d The relative retention time is 0.77, which is determined to be impurity D; the relative retention time is 0.89, which is determined to be impurity F; the relative retention time is 0.96, which is determined to be impurity Z 1b The relative retention time was 1.00, which was determined to be ruxolitinib; the relative retention time was 1.13, which was determined to be impurity Z 1a ; The relative retention time is 1.17, which is determined to be impurity B; the relative retention time is 1.21 and / or 1.25, which is determined to be impurity SM 1b The relative retention time was 1.29, which was determined to be triphenylphosphine oxide; the relative retention time was 1.54, which was determined to be impurity SM2; the relative retention time was 1.56, which was determined to be impurity SM1; the relative retention time was 1.76, which was determined to be impurity Z1; the relative retention time was 1.81, which was determined to be impurity Z 1d The relative retention time was 2.24, which was determined to be triphenylphosphine. The relative retention time of each component fluctuated within the range of ±10%.

[0053] In addition to relative retention time, retention time can also be used to identify components. Retention time is the time it takes for a sample to enter the chromatographic column and be detected by the detector. This time is calculated based on the migration speed of the component along the column, that is, the interval from the start of injection to the chromatographic apex (maximum concentration) of a component. It is primarily used to determine the order and location of peaks of each component in a sample and is one of the essential data in chromatographic analysis. In quality control, changes in retention time can reflect factors such as the condition of the chromatographic column, the stability of the mobile phase, and the performance of the instrument.

[0054] A third object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining the content of ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities, which can complete the identification and content determination of multiple substances in a relatively short time.

[0055] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0056] The method for determining the content of ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities comprises separating and identifying ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities by the aforementioned identification method to obtain a chromatogram; according to the obtained chromatogram, the limit method is used to detect whether the content of impurity SM1 is qualified, and / or the main component self-control method with a correction factor is used to calculate the content of the thiocyanate, the triphenylphosphine oxide, the impurity SM 1d , the impurity SM2, the impurity SM 2d , the impurity Z1, the impurity Z 1a , the impurity Z 1b , the impurity Z 1d , the content of any one or more impurities among the impurity B, the impurity C, the impurity D, and the impurity F.

[0057] Through the content determination, we can further determine whether the content of ruxolitinib mesylate intermediate Z2 and its impurities are qualified. 1d , impurity SM2, impurity SM 2d , impurity Z1, impurity Z 1a , impurity Z 1b , impurity Z 1d , impurity B, impurity C, impurity D, impurity F, any one or more of the impurity peak area is greater than the peak area of ​​the corresponding impurity in the control solution, indicating that the impurity content is unqualified; on the contrary, if trithiocyanate, triphenylphosphine oxide, impurity SM1, impurity SM2 1d , impurity SM2, impurity SM 2d , impurity Z1, impurity Z 1a , impurity Z 1b , impurity Z 1dIf the peak area of any one or more of impurity A, impurity B, impurity C, impurity D, impurity F in the test solution is not more than the peak area of the corresponding impurity in the control solution, it indicates that the impurity content is qualified.

[0058] The above determination method can be used as a drug quality determination model and further as an indispensable key module in an intelligent production process. The model realizes accurate separation and quantitative analysis of active ingredients, impurities and degradation products in drugs by precisely controlling parameters such as mobile phase composition, flow rate and column temperature, thereby providing a scientific basis for comprehensive evaluation of drug quality. In an intelligent production system, this model is seamlessly integrated, can receive raw data from the production line in real time, automatically perform analysis tasks, and quickly feed back the determination results based on the preset quality standards.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0060] The present application establishes a high performance liquid chromatography method for separating and determining the intermediate Z2 of lucitanib mesylate and impurities thereof. The method can realize effective separation of multiple impurities in the intermediate Z2 of lucitanib mesylate within 50 minutes, and the impurities include any one or more of trithiocyanic acid, triphenyl phosphine oxide, impurity SM1, impurity SM2, impurity SM3, impurity Z1, impurity Z2, impurity Z3, impurity Z4, impurity B, impurity C, impurity D, impurity F, impurity SM3 and triphenyl phosphine. 1d 2d 1a 1b 1d 1b The method verification experiment results show that the method has strong specificity, good separation degree, high sensitivity, good durability, strong practicability, accurate and reliable detection results, and is of great significance for realizing quality control of the intermediate Z2 of lucitanib mesylate and the finished product of lucitanib mesylate.

[0126] In order to enhance understanding of the present invention, certain key technical and scientific terms will be clearly defined below. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, all other technical and scientific terms follow the meanings generally accepted and understood in the field to which the present invention belongs. It should be emphasized that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific methods, reagents, compounds, compositions, reference substances, and test products described, but allows reasonable flexibility and adjustment in these aspects. At the same time, please understand that the terms used herein are intended to illustrate specific embodiments and are not to be interpreted restrictively.

[0127] In addition, all literature cited herein, including but not limited to patents, patent applications, academic papers, textbooks, and further citations therein, are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, to the extent not directly cited. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the contents of such cited literature or similar materials and this application, particularly with respect to term definitions, term usage, or technical descriptions, the contents of this application shall prevail.

[0128] If there are any unmentioned conditions in the chromatographic conditions, the determination can be referred to the high performance liquid chromatography method (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition Part 4 0512).

[0129] the term

[0130] The limit of quantification (LOQ) is the lowest amount of an analyte in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with a certain degree of accuracy and precision. In other words, the LOQ is the lowest level at which an analytical method can accurately and reliably determine the concentration of the analyte in a sample. In HPLC, the determination of the LOQ typically relies on the signal-to-noise (S / N) ratio, where the analyte concentration corresponding to a certain signal-to-noise ratio is used as the LOQ. Determining the LOQ is crucial to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of analytical results.

[0131] Chromatographic robustness refers to the ability of a chromatographic analysis system to maintain stable analytical performance and unsignificantly affect results even when minor changes in measurement conditions occur. This robustness is crucial for ensuring the reliability, repeatability, and stability of analytical results.

[0132] The limit of detection (LOD) is the lowest concentration or amount of the substance in a sample that can be detected. It reflects the sensitivity and noise level of the analytical method and instrument, and also indicates the level of the blank (background) value after the sample is processed.

[0133] A correction factor is a coefficient or parameter used to correct analytical results. It aims to improve data accuracy and reliability. In HPLC analysis, because the same detector responds differently to different substances, the peak areas produced by the same mass of different substances passing through the detector may not be equal. To ensure that the peak area accurately reflects the content of the component being measured, calibration is performed using a standard substance. The correction factor is calculated and applied to the measurement results of the sample being measured.

[0134] The peak height to noise ratio (S / N, or signal-to-noise ratio) is used in HPLC to assess instrument sensitivity and resolution and is a key performance metric. Peak height refers to the detector signal output when the analyte elutes from the post-column column, while noise refers to the fluctuation of the baseline signal, i.e., the signal value measured with a blank sample. The S / N ratio is the ratio of the signal measured with a sample of known concentration to the signal measured with a blank sample. A higher S / N ratio indicates a more accurate separation and identification of the target component while also minimizing background noise interference.
