Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of analytical detection technology, specifically to an analytical method for simultaneously separating and detecting multiple p-toluenesulfonates and epoxy genotoxicity warning structural impurities in landilol hydrochloride. Background Technology
[0002] The molecular formula of brandylol hydrochloride is C 25 H 39 N3O8·HCl, chemical name 4-[(2 S )-2-hydroxy-3-[[2-[[2-[(4-morpholinoyl)amino]ethyl]amino]propoxy]phenylpropionic acid[(4 S Landiolol hydrochloride, CAS number 144481-98-1, is a 2,2-dimethyl-4-(1,3-dioxolane)-methyl ester. Its chemical structure is shown in Formula 1. Formula 1: Chemical structural formula of brandylol hydrochloride According to publicly available synthetic routes for brandilol hydrochloride, various routes often utilize toluenesulfonic acid or epoxy compounds, potentially involving multiple genotoxic impurities, including p-toluenesulfonates and epoxy rings. These impurities can severely impact the safety and efficacy of brandilol hydrochloride. Because these two types of genotoxic impurities are subject to stricter limits during drug development, their concentration in brandilol hydrochloride must be controlled below 10 ppm. This typically requires specialized and expensive mass spectrometry instruments or complex sample pretreatment processes such as derivatization to achieve the desired detection sensitivity and accuracy. Existing methods for analyzing impurities in brandylolol hydrochloride, including those for p-toluenesulfonate esters and epoxy compounds, cannot simultaneously detect multiple different types of genotoxic impurities in brandylolol hydrochloride at low cost and with convenient operation. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202411944980.0 discloses a method for detecting related substances in injectable brandylolol hydrochloride, using octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel as filler, and employing a mobile phase A (a solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate containing pentafluoropropionic acid and methanol). Gradient elution was used to detect related substances in injectable landiolol hydrochloride using a mobile phase B (potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution containing pentafluoropropionic acid and methanol, volume ratio 28:72-32:68). However, this method requires a special mobile phase system and suffers from poor specificity and insufficient sensitivity. Therefore, establishing a highly sensitive, accurate, low-cost, and easy-to-operate analytical method for simultaneously detecting p-toluenesulfonates and epoxy cyclic genotoxic impurities to ensure drug quality is of paramount importance. Currently, no publicly available literature reports a simple, rapid, and accurate HPLC method for the analysis and separation of multiple p-toluenesulfonates and epoxy cyclic genotoxic impurities in landiolol hydrochloride using a single method. Summary of the Invention
