Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical analysis, and particularly relates to an analytical method for enzalutamide. Background Art

[0002] Enzalutamide belongs to an oral selective inhibitor of androgen receptor (AR), and is used for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, with the trade name Xtandi. Its chemical name is 4-{3-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-thioxoimidazol-1-yl}-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide, and its structural formula is shown in Formula I.

By applying scientific knowledge, experimental design and statistical analysis, the functional relationship between key quality attributes and key analytical parameters is studied to find the analytical design space. Compared with the traditional trial-and-error method with single-factor variables, the AQbD concept has the advantages of being more scientific, more comprehensive in investigating influencing factors, and more economical and efficient. The QbD concept is mainly used in the research and development and production of new drugs, but it is less applied in the research and development of drug analytical methods.

[0097] Preparation of Solutions:

[0098] Preparation of Test Solution: Take the test enzalutamide sample, dilute the sample with the diluent to prepare a test solution with a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg / mL;

[0099] Preparation of Reference Solution: Take the enzalutamide reference substance, dilute the sample with the diluent to prepare a reference solution with a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg / mL.

[0100] Example 1 Selection of Chromatographic Column

[0101] Diluent: Acetonitrile: Purified Water = 90:10 (v / v)

[0102] Mixed Impurity Stock Solution: Weigh approximately 5 mg of each of the reference substances of Compound IM1, Compound IM2, Compound IM3, Compound IM4, Compound IM6, and Compound IM8, place them in the same 20 mL volumetric flask, dissolve with the diluent and make up to the mark, shake well, as the mixed impurity stock solution.

[0103] Impurity Stock Solution I: Pipette 2.5 mL of the mixed impurity stock solution into a 50 mL volumetric flask, make up to the mark with the diluent, shake well, as Impurity Stock Solution I.

[0104] Resolution Solution: Weigh approximately 25 mg of the enzalutamide bulk drug reference substance into a 25 mL volumetric flask, add 3 mL of Impurity Stock Solution I to this flask, then make up to the mark with the diluent, shake well, as the resolution solution.

[0105] Take the resolution solution, use the chromatographic columns in Table 1 respectively, and carry out the determination according to the chromatographic conditions in Table 2, record the chromatogram.

[0106] Analyze the structural characteristics and chemical properties of the enzalutamide bulk drug. Different characteristic functional groups are contained in its molecular structure, making the polarity of the compound and its binding ability with the stationary phase different. Combining with the performance characteristics of the chromatographic column, four different types of chromatographic columns (detailed information is shown in the following table) are selected for method development, and the specific parameters and results are as follows.

[0107] Table 1 Selection of Chromatographic Columns (Information on Four Different Types of Chromatographic Columns)

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] Table 2 Method Development Parameters for Enzalutamide API - Other Parameters Except Chromatographic Column

[0111]

[0112] According to the analysis results, it can be seen that:

[0113] When using Waters XBridge Phenyl column, the retention of each component is poor. The resolution between compound IM6 and the adjacent peak is 0.6, the resolution between compound IM2 and the adjacent peak is 0.8, and the resolution between compound IM3 and compound IM1 is 1.1. The resolutions are all less than 1.5, not meeting the detection requirements.

[0114] When using Agilent Zorbax Bonus - RP column, the main peak and each compound have good retention. The asymmetry factor of compound IM3 is 1.67, and the peak of compound IM8 is front - extended.

[0115] When using Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C8 column, the retention of each component is good, and the resolution between each known impurity and the adjacent peak is greater than 1.5.

[0116] When using Kromasil 100 - 5C18 column, the retention of each component is good, and the resolution between each known impurity and the adjacent peak is greater than 1.5.

[0117] In summary, both Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C8 column and Kromasil 100 - 5C18 column can meet the detection of enzalutamide API. Select Kromasil 100 - 5C18 column as a representative for method optimization and verification.

[0118] Example 2 Selection of Mobile Phase System

[0119] Take the resolution solution in Example 1 and inject samples for analysis according to the chromatographic conditions in Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5. To study the mobile phase system of the analysis method, compare the trifluoroacetic acid system and the phosphoric acid system. The specific parameters and analysis results are as follows:

[0120] Table 3 Selection of Mobile Phase

[0121]

[0122] Table 4 Method Development Parameters of Enzalutamide API - Trifluoroacetic Acid System

[0123]

[0124] Table 5 Method Development Parameters of Enzalutamide API - Phosphoric Acid System

[0125]

[0126]

[0127] According to the analysis results, under the trifluoroacetic acid system, the resolution between compound IM2 and compound IM4 is 1.6, and the resolution between the main peak and compound IM3 is 3.0. However, after 35 minutes, the baseline drifts significantly, and compound IM8 has strong retention and elutes at the end of the gradient peak. Under the phosphoric acid system, the resolution between compound IM2 and compound IM4 is 7.1, and the resolution between the main peak and compound IM3 is 8.4, and the baseline is relatively flat. Therefore, the phosphoric acid system is selected as the mobile phase system for the determination of enzalutamide API.

[0128] Example 3 Optimization of Mobile Phase Elution Gradient

[0129] Take the separated solution in Example 1 and inject it for analysis according to the chromatographic conditions in Tables 6 - 9.

[0130] In the initial stage of method development, a general gradient was used for analysis, and the specific parameters and results are as follows.

[0131] Table 6 Method Development Parameters of Enzalutamide API - General Gradient

[0132]

[0133] Under the initial gradient parameters, the resolution between compound IM2 and compound IM4 is 1.33, and the resolution is less than 1.5, which does not meet the detection requirements. And under this condition, the compounds are relatively concentrated, eluting between 21 - 27 minutes, and only compound IM5 is detected between 5 - 16 minutes. Therefore, the mobile phase elution gradient was optimized, and the specific parameters and results are as follows.

[0134] Table 7 Method Development Parameters of Enzalutamide API - Gradient Optimization

[0135]

[0136] After optimizing the gradient parameters, the distribution of the main peak and impurities is relatively reasonable, and the resolution between the main peak and each impurity is greater than 1.5, meeting the detection requirements. However, in this method system, the elution time of compound IM5 is 2.931 min, with weak retention, and basically no impurities are detected after 31 min. Therefore, the method needs to be optimized, and the specific parameters and results are as follows.

[0137] Table 8 Enzalutamide API Method Development Parameters - Gradient Optimization II

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] After optimizing the gradient parameters, the elution time of compound IM5 is 13.230 min, with good retention. The distribution of the main peak and other known impurities is also relatively reasonable, and the resolution between the main peak and each known impurity is greater than 1.5, meeting the detection requirements.

[0141] Based on the QbD concept, on the basis of determining the method gradient parameters (see Table 9), the analysis method objectives are converted into key method attributes that can be quantitatively evaluated. Data are obtained through experimental design, and a design space for the gradient change of the analysis method is established by combining experimental design and statistical analysis. Finally, a control strategy for the analysis method is established. Therefore, the elution program of the mobile phase is optimized, and the effects of the initial ratio and change rate of different mobile phases on the separation of each component and the chromatographic peak shape are investigated respectively. The specific parameters and results are as follows.

[0148]

[0149] Note: "n.a." in the table indicates that the peak is split and cannot be read.

[0150] Input the above results into the JMP software and fit by the least squares method to predict the maximum willingness. The results are as Figure 2 . Among them, the names represented by Y~Y9, X1, and X2 in the QBD maximum willingness diagram are shown in Table 12 below:

[0156] As shown above, the maximization willingness was obtained according to software fitting, that is, when the initial proportion of the organic phase was 32.5% and the change rate was 1% per minute, the result was the best. Therefore, a gradient elution program method with an initial proportion of 33% (rounded) of the organic phase and a change rate of 1% per minute was used for analysis, and the minimum resolution between each impurity and the adjacent peak under the gradient elution program conditions before screening was compared. The results are shown in Table 13. Under the gradient elution program obtained by the QBD maximization willingness, the minimum resolution between each known impurity and the adjacent peak was better than that under the gradient elution program before screening. Therefore, the initial proportion of the gradient elution program for the determination of enzalutamide raw material drug was 33% and the change rate was 1%.

[0157] Example 4 Column temperature selection

[0158] During the method development process, the resolution solution in Example 1 was taken. When the method parameters in Table 8 were used, compound IM2 and compound IM4, and compound IM3 and compound IM1 were relatively close. The separation of the main peak and each impurity was investigated under different column temperatures (30 °C, 35 °C, 40 °C).

[0159] The resolution between compound IM2 and compound IM4, and compound IM1 and compound IM3 gradually decreased with the increase of the column temperature (the specific resolution results are shown in Table 14). Under the condition of a column temperature of 30 °C, the resolution was greater than 1.5, meeting the detection requirements. Under the conditions of a column temperature of 35 °C and 40 °C, the resolution between compound IM1 and compound IM3 was less than 1.5, not meeting the detection requirements. Therefore, 30 °C was finally selected as the column temperature for the determination of enzalutamide raw material drug.

[0160] Table 14 Impurity resolution under different column temperature conditions

[0161]

[0162] Example 5 Wavelength selection

[0163] According to the ultraviolet absorption spectra of enzalutamide raw material drug and compounds (see Figures 3 - 9) It has strong absorption at 218 nm, 235 nm, 254 nm and 270 nm. By comparing the correction factors of each compound at the four wavelengths (see Table 15), the correction factors of each known impurity are closer to 1.0 at 218 nm wavelength. Also, according to the results of the spiked solution impurities (see Table 16), at 218 nm wavelength, the number of detected impurities is 6, while at 235 nm wavelength it is 4, at 254 nm wavelength it is 1, and at 270 nm wavelength it is 1. Therefore, the impurity detection ability is stronger at 218 nm wavelength.

[0164] In summary, 218 nm was finally selected as the determination wavelength for enzalutamide raw material.

[0171] Summary of the finally determined method parameters and representative spectra in Example 6

[0172] The finally determined detection method for enzalutamide raw material is shown in Table 17, and the detection results are as Figure 1 , and the retention times of each peak are shown in Table 18.

[0178] During the development of the enzalutamide API method, phenol was not studied. It was originally planned to control phenol as a genotoxic impurity, but after consulting the NTP data, it was found that phenol is a non-carcinogenic impurity, so it can be controlled as a common impurity. Therefore, the applicability of phenol was investigated in the final determination method of enzalutamide API. Phenol was well retained, with a separation degree of 15.8 between adjacent peaks, an asymmetry factor of 1.07, and a ratio of the response value of the main peak to phenol of 1.1. Therefore, phenol can be determined in the determination method of enzalutamide API and controlled as an unknown impurity.

[0179] According to the validation plan, HPLC-UV method was adopted, with Kromasil 100-5C18 (250mm*4.6mm, 5μm) as the chromatographic column, column temperature of 30°C, wavelength of 218nm, flow rate of 1.0mL / min, sample plate temperature of 4°C, injection volume of 10μL, and 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as mobile phases for gradient elution. The determination method of enzalutamide raw materials was validated by the known methods of pharmaceutical validation. The specificity, detection limit, quantification limit, linearity / correction factor, accuracy, precision (repeatability, reproducibility of the transferor and recipient laboratories), range, and durability of the method all met the acceptable standards, proving that the method is applicable for the determination of enzalutamide raw materials in both the transferor and recipient laboratories.
