Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drug impurity detection, and in particular to a method for detecting the content of dicyandiamide in a key intermediate of lamotrigine. Background Art

[0002] Lamotrigine is a sodium channel blocker clinically used to treat epilepsy. The typical synthesis of lamotrigine uses 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid as the starting compound. 2,3-Dichlorobenzoic acid reacts with thionyl chloride (also known as dichlorothionyl, SOCl2) to produce 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, which then reacts with cuprous cyanide (CuCN) to produce 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide. 2,3-Dichlorobenzoyl cyanide then reacts with aminoguanidine bicarbonate (see the formula below) to form a condensation product (chemically named: 2-cyano-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-guanidininylacetonitrile), which then undergoes a cyclization reaction to produce lamotrigine. Aminoguanidine bicarbonate is a reaction reagent in the lamotrigine synthesis process. Aminoguanidine bicarbonate is synthesized from monocyanamide (CH2-NH2) + hydrazine (NH2-NH2) + CO2 + H2O. Dicyandiamide is a by-product of the aminoguanidine bicarbonate synthesis process. Since dicyandiamide contains genotoxic groups, quality control research on dicyandiamide should be carried out.

[0004] According to the ICH "M7: Guidance for Industry on the Evaluation and Control of DNA-Reactive (Mutagenic) Impurities in Pharmaceuticals to Limit Potential Carcinogenic Risk" and the "9306 Guidelines for the Control of Genotoxic Impurities" of the 2020 edition (Part IV) of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for dicyandiamide is 1.5 μg / day. According to the instructions for use and dosage of lamotrigine tablets, when used in adults or children over 12 years of age, the daily dose can reach 200 mg. Therefore, the control limit for dicyandiamide should not exceed 7.5 ppm. Accurately detecting such low levels of this substance in samples is a pressing technical challenge for those skilled in the art. Dicyandiamide (also known as dicyandiamide, C2H4N4) has a relative molecular weight of 84.08. Direct determination is difficult and subject to significant interference. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method that can be applied to the detection of dicyandiamide in key lamotrigine intermediates. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In the typical synthesis process of lamotrigine, the condensation product [chemical name: 2-cyano-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-guanidine iminoacetonitrile] generated by the reaction of 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide and aminoguanidine bicarbonate is the last step in the synthesis process of lamotrigine. The condensation product is a key intermediate material for the synthesis of lamotrigine. The quality control of trace amounts of potential genotoxic impurities in the key intermediate condensation product plays a very important role in controlling the potential genotoxic impurities in the finished lamotrigine product. Therefore, this application preferably selects the condensation product as the key intermediate for detection.

[0018] 2) Optimization of chromatographic conditions The flow rates (0.45 ml / min, 0.5 ml / min, 0.55 ml / min), column temperatures (30°C, 35°C, 40°C), and mobile phase ratios (0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile, 10:90, 8:92, 12:88) were investigated respectively. The results showed that different flow rates, column temperatures, and mobile phase ratios had no significant effect on the detection results. The flow rate was tentatively set at 0.5 ml / min, the column temperature was 35°C, and the 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile ratio was 10:90. For details, see Example 2 Durability Experiment.

[0019] 2 Mass spectrometry ion optimization Using the positive ion mode, the dicyandiamide ion optimization results showed that the parent ion m / z was 85.2, which is consistent with the theoretical molecular weight. The dicyandiamide ion optimization results are shown in Figure 1 .

[0021] 2) Mass spectrometry conditions (Table 1) Mass spectrometer model: Thermo TSQ QUANTUM ACCESS MAX (triple quadrupole) Table 1 Mass spectrometry parameters <![CDATA[ESI + (SRM)]]> Compound: Dicyandiamide Precursor ion m / z 85.2 Cone voltage (V) 52 Quantitative ion pair m / z 85.2 / 68.4 Quantitative ion collision energy (V) 16 Qualifier ion pair m / z 85.2 / 43.5 Qualifying ion collision energy (V) 14 Capillary Temperature (℃) 350 Vaporizer Temperature (℃) 300 Sheath Gas Pressure (Arb) 30 Aux Gas Pressure (Arb) 10 Ion Sweep Gas Pressure (Arb) 2 Spray Voltage (V) 3000 Discharge Current (μA) 4.0 3) Test solution Take an appropriate amount of the condensation product sample, accurately weigh it, dissolve it in methanol and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing about 1 mg per 1 ml, filter it, and take the filtrate.

[0022] 4) Reference solution Take an appropriate amount of dicyandiamide reference substance, dissolve it in methanol and quantitatively dilute it to make a solution containing approximately 7.5 ng per 1 ml.

[0023] 5) System suitability requirements Take the reference solution and inject it continuously for 5 times. The relative standard deviation of the dicyandiamide peak area shall not exceed 15.0%.

[0024] 6) Determination method Accurately measure the test solution and reference solution, inject them into the liquid chromatograph respectively, and record the chromatogram.

[0025] 7) Limits If there is a chromatographic peak in the chromatogram of the test solution with the same retention time as the dicyandiamide peak, the peak area calculated by the external standard method shall not exceed 7.5ppm.

[0026] Example 2: Methodological Verification (Method under "3" in Example 1) 1. Exclusivity 1) Interference of blank solvent on dicyandiamide ① Take an appropriate amount of dicyandiamide reference solution and prepare it according to the method for the reference solution under "3" described in Example 1 to obtain a reference solution.

[0027] ② Take an appropriate amount of the condensation product test sample (batch number: 10901-1911001y) and prepare the test sample solution according to the method for the test sample solution under "Item 3" described in Example 1 to obtain the test sample solution.

[0028] Take appropriate amounts of methanol, reference solution, and test solution, and analyze the sample according to the method "under 3" described in Example 1 to investigate the interference of blank solvent methanol on dicyandiamide. The results are shown in Table 2 below. Figures 2-4 .

[0029] Table 2 Blank solvent interference results Sample name Peak area Retention time (min) Methanol 4 3.24 Reference solution 25602 3.29 Test solution 2212 3.29 Conclusion: The peak area of methanol at the main peak position is 4, which is less than 0.05% of the peak area of the reference substance (i.e.: 25602×0.05%=13). The blank solvent methanol does not interfere with the detection of dicyandiamide.

[0030] 2) Interference of other impurities on dicyandiamide ① According to the condensation process route, the compounds involved in the condensation synthesis process are aminoguanidine carbonate, cyanamide, hydrazine, 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl acid, 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, and 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide.

[0031] ②Impurity interference analysis The m / z of the quantitative ion of dicyandiamide is 68.4. The molecular weights of monocyanamide and hydrazine are both less than 68.4. After mass spectrometry collision, no daughter ion with m / z of 68.4 is generated. According to the structural analysis, aminoguanidine carbonate, compounds 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl acid, 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, and 2,3-dichlorobenzoyl cyanide are unlikely to generate daughter ions with m / z of 68.4 after mass spectrometry collision. Comprehensive analysis shows that the above compounds do not interfere with the detection of dicyandiamide at the ion channel with m / z of 68.4.

[0032] 2. Filter membrane adsorption 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. Divide it into 3 equal parts and number them 1#, 2# and 3#. Centrifuge 1# at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes; discard 0.1 ml of the initial filtrate from 2# (made of nylon 66, 0.22 μm); discard 0.3 ml of the initial filtrate from 3# (made of nylon 66, 0.22 μm).

[0033] The solutions treated with 1#, 2#, and 3# were respectively sampled and analyzed according to the method under "item 3" described in Example 1. The samples were injected three times continuously, and the peak areas were recorded to examine the adsorption rate of the filter membrane (adsorption rate = 100% - peak area after adsorption / peak area without adsorption × 100%). The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0035] 3. Linearity and range Take an appropriate amount of dicyandiamide reference substance and add methanol to quantitatively dilute it to prepare a series of dicyandiamide reference substance solutions containing approximately 0.75ng, 1.50ng, 3.75ng, 7.50ng, 15.00ng, and 22.50ng per 1ml.

[0036] The reference solution of dicyandiamide at each concentration was sampled and analyzed according to the method under "item 3" described in Example 1. The peak area of dicyandiamide was used as the ordinate (Y), and the concentration of the dicyandiamide reference substance was used as the abscissa (X). A linear regression was performed on the peak area Y versus the concentration X (ng / ml). The linear equation and correlation coefficient are shown in Table 4 below.

[0037] Table 4 Dicyandiamide linearity test results

[0038] Conclusion: There was a good linear correlation between the peak area (Y) and concentration (X) of dicyandiamide in the range of 0.75-22.50 ng / ml, and the linear equation was: y=2887.6x+473.13 (r=0.9992).

[0039] 4. Limit of quantification and detection limit An appropriate amount of dicyandiamide reference substance was quantitatively diluted with methanol to produce a solution containing approximately 1.50 ng per 1 ml. This solution was then diluted with methanol to an appropriate concentration and analyzed using the method described in "Item 3" of Example 1. Using the signal-to-noise ratio method, the concentration was the detection limit when the signal-to-noise ratio was approximately 3:1, and the quantification limit when the signal-to-noise ratio was approximately 10:1. The results are shown in Table 5 below.

The provisional limit of quantification (LOQ) for dicyandiamide was 0.0150 ng / ml, equivalent to a test sample concentration of 0.0150 ppm. The S / N ratio was 1.23 at a 200-fold dilution, resulting in a provisional limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0075 ng / ml, equivalent to a test sample concentration of 0.0075 ppm. The sensitivity of this method meets the control requirements for dicyandiamide.

[0041] 5. Precision 1) Injection precision A 7.50 ng / ml dicyandiamide solution under the experimental item "2. Linearity and Range" was injected and analyzed according to the method described in "3" of Example 1. The injections were repeated five times, and the retention times and peak areas were calculated.
