Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of drug impurity detection, and specifically relates to a method for detecting the content of aminoguanidine in a key intermediate of lamotrigine. Background Art

[0002] Lamotrigine is a sodium channel blocker and is clinically used for the treatment of epilepsy. The typical synthesis process of lamotrigine uses 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid as the starting compound. 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid reacts with thionyl chloride (also called dichlorosulfoxide, SOCl₂) to obtain 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, which then reacts with cuprous cyanide (CuCN) to obtain 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide; 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide reacts with aminoguanidine bicarbonate (see the following formula) to form a condensate [chemical name: 2-cyano-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-guanidinoiminoacetonitrile], and then undergoes a cyclization reaction to obtain lamotrigine. Aminoguanidine bicarbonate is a reaction reagent in the synthesis process of lamotrigine. The aminoguanidine bicarbonate reaction reagent will decompose into aminoguanidine during the reaction. Since both the aminoguanidine bicarbonate reaction reagent and its aminoguanidine have genotoxic groups, quality control research on aminoguanidine should be carried out.

[0003]

[0004] According to the ICH "M7: Industry Guide for the Assessment and Control of DNA-Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk" and the "Guideline for the Control of Genotoxic Impurities" (Part 4) of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition, the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for aminoguanidine is 1.5 μg / day. According to the usage and dosage instructions of the lamotrigine tablets, when this product is used for the treatment of adults or children over 12 years old, the daily dose can reach 200 mg, so the control limit of aminoguanidine should not exceed 7.5 ppm. How to accurately detect a substance with such a low content from the sample is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. The relative molecular weight of aminoguanidine (CH₆N₄) is 74.09, and the relative molecular weight is relatively small. There is no characteristic absorption group in the structural formula, and there is currently no literature report on the detection of aminoguanidine. It is urgent to establish a set of detection methods that can be applied to the determination of the content of aminoguanidine in the key intermediate of lamotrigine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting the content of aminoguanidine in a key intermediate of lamotrigine, including the following steps: Dissolve the test sample and the reference substance in the detection solvent respectively to obtain a test sample solution and a reference substance solution; The test solution and the reference solution were separated by liquid chromatography technology, detected by a mass spectrometry detector, and the content of aminoguanidine was calculated by the external standard method with the peak area. The liquid chromatography conditions were as follows: C8 chromatographic column, flow rate: 0.95 - 1.05 ml / min; column temperature: 30 - 40 °C; The mobile phase was: A: 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution; B: acetonitrile; Gradient elution: 0.0 - 0.8 min, 90% of A; 0.8 - 2.0 min, 90% - 10% of A; 2.0 - 4.0 min, 10% A; The mass spectrometry conditions were: ESI + Positive ion mode, cone voltage was 38 V, precursor ion m / z was 75.2, quantitative ion pair m / z was 75.2 / 58.4, quantitative ion collision energy was 11 V, qualitative ion pair m / z was 75.2 / 43.5, qualitative ion collision energy was 36 V.

[0006] Preferably, the flow rate was 1.0 ml / min; the column temperature was 35 °C.

[0007] The model of the chromatographic column was: Thermo BDS Hypersil C8, with a specification of 4.6 mm * 150 mm, 5 μm.

[0008] The model of the liquid chromatography instrument was: Thermo Fisher ACCELA.

[0009] The model of the mass spectrometry instrument was: Thermo TSQ QUANTUM ACCESS MAX, which was a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry detector.

[0010] The test sample was the material obtained by sampling during the synthesis of the condensate in the lamotrigine synthesis process, , condensate.

[0011] Test solution: Take an appropriate amount of the condensate test sample, weigh it precisely, dissolve it with 50% acetonitrile solution and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 1 mg per 1 ml, filter it, and take the subsequent filtrate to obtain it; Reference solution: Take an appropriate amount of aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference substance, dissolve it with water and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 1 mg of aminoguanidine per 1 ml, precisely measure an appropriate amount, and quantitatively dilute it with 50% acetonitrile solution to make a solution containing about 7.5 ng of aminoguanidine per 1 ml This application provides a method for detecting the content of aminoguanidine in a key intermediate of lamotrigine. By using a specific liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry coupling method for detection, through methodological verification, this method has good specificity, precision and repeatability, and the sensitivity meets the control requirements of this impurity.

[0012] The detection method provided by this application has a quantitative limit of 0.0038 ng / ml and a detection limit of 0.0019 ng / ml. The method has good sensitivity, and the detection limit and quantitative limit are significantly lower than the quality control limit requirements for aminoguanidine trace impurities, indicating that the sensitivity of this method meets the control requirements for this impurity. The recovery test proves that the sample treatment method and detection method of the present invention can achieve the determination of the content of aminoguanidine trace impurities in the condensate, and can be applied to the quality control of aminoguanidine impurities in the condensate of the key intermediate of lamotrigine.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0014] In the typical synthesis process of lamotrigine, the condensate [chemical name: 2-cyano-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-guanidinoiminoacetonitrile] formed by the reaction of 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide and aminoguanidine bicarbonate is the last step in the synthesis process route of lamotrigine. The condensate is a key intermediate material for the synthesis of lamotrigine. The quality control of trace potential genotoxic impurities in the key intermediate condensate plays a very important role in controlling the potential genotoxic impurities in the finished product of lamotrigine. Therefore, this application preferably selects the condensate as the key intermediate for detection.

[0015] Example 1: Method Exploration and Description Mass Spectrometry Ion Optimization Using the positive ion mode, the aminoguanidine ion optimization results show that the parent ion m / z is 75.2, which is basically consistent with the theoretical molecular weight. The aminoguanidine ion optimization results are shown in Figure 1 .

The results showed that different flow rates, column temperatures, and mobile phase ratios had no significant effect on the detection results. The tentative flow rate was 0.5 ml / min, the column temperature was 35 °C, and the ratio of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution - acetonitrile was 10:90. See the robustness experiment in Example 2 for details.

[0020] 4) Reference solution Take an appropriate amount of aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference substance, dissolve it with water and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 1 mg of aminoguanidine per 1 ml. Accurately measure an appropriate amount and quantitatively dilute it with 50% acetonitrile solution to make a solution containing about 7.5 ng of aminoguanidine per 1 ml.

[0021] 5) System suitability requirements Take the reference solution and inject it continuously for 5 times. The relative standard deviation of the peak area of aminoguanidine shall not exceed 15.0%.

[0022] 6) Determination method Precisely measure appropriate volumes of the test solution and the reference solution, and inject them into the liquid chromatograph respectively. Record the chromatograms.

[0023] 7) Limit If there are chromatographic peaks in the chromatogram of the test solution with the same retention time as the aminoguanidine peak, calculate by the external standard method based on the peak area, and it shall not exceed 7.5 ppm.

[0024] Example 2: Methodology verification (method under item "3" described in Example 1) 1. Specificity 1) Interference of the blank solvent on aminoguanidine ① Take an appropriate amount of the aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference solution and prepare it according to the method of the reference solution under item "3" described in Example 1 to obtain the reference solution.

[0025] ② Take an appropriate amount of the condensate test sample (batch number: 10901 - 1911001y) and prepare it according to the method of the test solution under item "3" described in Example 1 to obtain the test solution.

[0026] Take appropriate amounts of the 50% acetonitrile solution, the reference solution, and the test solution, and inject them for analysis according to the method under item "3" described in Example 1 to examine the interference of 50% acetonitrile, the blank solvent, on aminoguanidine. The results are shown in Table 2 below. Figures 2 - 4 .

[0027] Table 2 Results of blank solvent interference Conclusion: 50% acetonitrile does not show a peak at the main peak position (peaks with S / N < 3 are ignored), and does not interfere with the detection of aminoguanidine.

[0028] 2) Interference of other impurities on aminoguanidine ① According to the condensate process route, the compounds involved in the condensate synthesis process are: dicyandiamide, aminoguanidine carbonate, monocyanamide, hydrazine, 2,3 - dichlorobenzoic acid, 2,3 - dichlorobenzoyl chloride, 2,3 - dichlorobenzoyl cyanide. The molecular structures and molecular weights are as follows:

[0029] ② Impurity interference analysis The quantitative ion of aminoguanidine has an m / z of 58.4. The molecular weights of cyanamide and hydrazine are both less than 58.4, and after mass spectrometry collision, they will not produce daughter ions with an m / z of 58.4. From the structural formula analysis, 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid, 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, and 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide are not likely to produce daughter ions with an m / z of 58.4 after mass spectrometry collision. Some groups of dicyandiamide are similar to those of aminoguanidine, which may affect the detection of aminoguanidine. By preparing a dicyandiamide reference solution for injection, it is investigated whether it interferes with the detection of aminoguanidine.

[0030] Take an appropriate amount of dicyandiamide reference substance, dissolve it in methanol and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 7.5 ng per 1 ml, which is used as the dicyandiamide reference solution.

[0031] Take an appropriate amount of the dicyandiamide reference solution, inject and analyze it according to the method described in "Item 3" of Example 1, and investigate the interference of dicyandiamide on aminoguanidine. The results are shown in Table 3 below, see Appendix Figure 5 。

[0032] Table 3 Results of dicyandiamide interference Sample Name Peak Area Retention Time (min) Dicyandiamide Reference Solution 8 2.17 Reference Solution 58366 2.18 Conclusion: The peak area of dicyandiamide at the main peak position is 8, which is less than 0.05% of the peak area of the reference substance (58366×0.05% = 29). Dicyandiamide does not interfere with the detection of aminoguanidine. Through comprehensive analysis, each impurity does not interfere with the detection of aminoguanidine in the ion channel with an m / z of 68.4.

[0033] 2. Filter membrane adsorption Take an appropriate amount of aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference substance, dissolve it in 50% acetonitrile and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 7.5 ng per 1 ml. Divide it into 3 equal parts and number them 1#, 2#, and 3# respectively. Centrifuge 1# at 10,000 revolutions per minute for 10 minutes; discard the initial filtrate of 0.1 ml for 2# (nylon 66 material, 0.22 μm); discard the initial filtrate of 0.3 ml for 3# (nylon 66 material, 0.22 μm).

[0034] Take the solutions after treatment of 1#, 2#, and 3# respectively, inject and analyze them according to the method described in "Item 3" of Example 1, inject continuously 3 times respectively, record the peak area, and investigate the filter membrane adsorption rate (adsorption rate = 100% - peak area after adsorption / peak area before adsorption × 100%). The results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0035] Table 4 Experimental results of aminoguanidine filter membrane adsorption Table 4 Experimental results of aminoguanidine filter membrane adsorption Injection Sequence Sample Number 1 2 3 Mean (n = 3) RSD% (n = 3) Adsorption Rate % 1# 44287 44360 41933 43527 3.2 / 2# 44683 42842 42883 43469 2.4 0.1 3# 42879 42139 42493 42503 0.9 2.4 Conclusion: The nylon 66 filter membrane (0.22 μm) has no adsorption of aminoguanidine.

[0036] 3. Linearity and range Take an appropriate amount of aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference substance, quantitatively dilute it with 50% acetonitrile to prepare a series of aminoguanidine reference substance solutions with a concentration of about 0.75 ng, 1.50 ng, 3.75 ng, 7.50 ng, 15.00 ng, and 22.50 ng of aminoguanidine per 1 ml.

[0037] Take the aminoguanidine reference substance solutions with different concentrations, inject and analyze them according to the method described in "Item 3" of Example 1. Use the peak area of aminoguanidine as the ordinate (Y) and the concentration of aminoguanidine reference substance as the abscissa (X), and perform linear regression of the peak area Y against the concentration X (ng / ml). The linear equation and correlation coefficient are shown in Table 5 below.

[0038] Table 5 Results of the linear experiment of aminoguanidine

[0039] Conclusion: There is a good linear correlation between the peak area (Y) of aminoguanidine and the concentration (X) in the range of 0.75 - 22.50 ng / ml. The linear equation is: y = 5140.1x - 1108.6 (r = 0.9920).

[0040] 4. Quantification limit, detection limit Take an appropriate amount of aminoguanidine bicarbonate reference substance, quantitatively dilute it with 50% acetonitrile to prepare a solution containing about 0.75 ng of aminoguanidine per 1 ml, and then dilute it with 50% acetonitrile to a suitable concentration. Inject and analyze it according to the method described in "Item 3" of Example 1. Calculate according to the signal-to-noise ratio method. When the signal-to-noise ratio is about 3:1, the concentration is the detection limit concentration, and when the signal-to-noise ratio is about 10:1, the concentration is the quantification limit concentration. The results are shown in Table 6 below.

When diluted 200 times, the S / N is 21.44. The tentative quantification limit concentration of aminoguanidine is 0.0038 ng / ml, which is equivalent to 0.0038 ppm of the test concentration of the sample; when diluted 400 times, the S / N is 48.00. The tentative detection limit concentration of aminoguanidine is 0.0019 ng / ml, which is equivalent to 0.0019 ppm of the test concentration of the sample.
