Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical analysis and detection technology, and in particular to a method for detecting related substances in emtricitabine acetonide and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Background Technology

[0002] Emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets are a combination nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor composed of emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF). Clinically, it is primarily used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection and antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This formulation, through the synergistic effect of its two active ingredients, can effectively inhibit viral nucleic acid synthesis and possesses advantages such as strong antiviral activity, a high resistance barrier, and low nephrotoxicity and bone toxicity. It has become a first-line drug for the treatment of HIV infection and CHB.

[0003] During the production, storage, and transportation of pharmaceutical preparations, the generation and control of related substances directly affect the safety and efficacy of medication. Related substances in emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets mainly originate from three pathways: First, residual intermediates and byproducts from the synthesis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), such as 5-fluorocytosine derivatives in emtricitabine synthesis and phosphoramide ester impurities in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate preparation; second, degradation products generated during the formulation manufacturing process due to the degradation of the main component caused by conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light, such as cytosine analogs that may be generated from emtricitabine under acidic conditions, and tenofovir (TFV) and its derivatives generated from the hydrolysis of ester bonds in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; third, interaction products between excipients and the main component, such as antioxidants and fillers in excipients that may chemically react with emtricitabine or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to generate new impurities.

[0004] Currently, there is no systematic detection scheme for multiple known potential impurities in emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets. Most methods only detect impurities of a single main component, failing to comprehensively assess the overall quality risk of the formulation. Therefore, developing a detection method that can simultaneously separate and accurately quantify emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and multiple potential related substances, with higher specificity, sensitivity, and analytical efficiency, has become an urgent need to ensure the safety of emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets and promote the improvement of formulation quality. This method is of great significance for the production quality control and clinical application of this drug. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for detecting related substances in emtricitabine acetonide and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] Mobile phase B: a mixture of phosphate buffer and tetrahydrofuran-acetonitrile solution in a volume ratio of 47.5–52.5:52.5–47.5;

[0012] The elution method is gradient elution, and the elution procedure for gradient elution is as follows:

[0014] 5 min, 97% mobile phase A, 3% mobile phase B;

[0015] 8 min, 74% mobile phase A, 26% mobile phase B;

[0016] 19 min, 70% mobile phase A, 30% mobile phase B;

[0017] 26 min, 0% mobile phase A, 100% mobile phase B;

[0018] 28 min, 0% mobile phase A, 100% mobile phase B;

[0019] 30 min, 99% mobile phase A, 1% mobile phase B;

[0020] 35 min, 99% mobile phase A, 1% mobile phase B.

[0021] Compared to existing technologies, the method for detecting related substances in emtricitabine acetonitrile tablets provided by this invention employs an octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel column, using mixed solutions of phosphate buffer and tetrahydrofuran-acetonitrile solution at different volume ratios as mobile phase A and mobile phase B, respectively. Through gradient elution using dual-wavelength high-performance liquid chromatography, it can effectively separate multiple impurities in emtricitabine acetonitrile tablets and accurately detect impurities. Furthermore, methodological studies and validations of specificity and sensitivity have shown that the method provided by this invention is sensitive, accurate, and reproducible, enabling accurate quantitative detection of related substances in emtricitabine acetonitrile tablets using a simple and rapid method.

[0278] Exclusivity Examination

[0279] By changing the elution procedure, we can examine the method specificity. The elution procedure is shown in the table below:

[0280]

[0281]

[0282] Other conditions were as described in Example 2.1, and the tests were conducted according to law. The results showed that the retention times of fumaric acid, 5-FC, FTC-carboxylic acid, FTC-II, PMPA, PMPA anhydride, FTC, FTC-IV, and FTU were significantly prolonged. Specifically, fumaric acid, 5-FC, FTC-carboxylic acid, FTC-II, PMPA, and PMPA anhydride in the mixed solution could not be effectively separated, and FTC and FTU could not be effectively separated. This demonstrates that changing the elution procedure of this invention will prevent the effective separation of related substances from emtricitabine acetaminophen tenofovir tablets (II).

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
