The invention relates to the technical field of
analytical chemistry and discloses a method for detecting
afatinib-dimaleate-related substances through
high performance liquid chromatography. According to the method, an
afatinib dimaleate
raw material drug or preparation is prepared into a detection solution with diluents, octadecyl
silane keys and
silica gel serve as fixing phases, inorganic salt buffer liquid is adopted as a flowing phase A, an organic phase serves as a flowing phase B,
gradient elution is conducted, and an HPLC
spectrogram is recorded under
afatinib absorption wave length. According to the method, a
chromatographic column with the octadecyl
silane keys and
silica gel serving as filler is adopted, the inorganic salt buffering liquid-organic phase for regulating the proper pH value serves as the flowing phase, the contents of related substances existing possibly of the afatinib dimaleate and a preparation thereof can be measured quantitatively, main impurities and various impurities can be completely separated, the peak pattern is good, regulations of
Chinese pharmacopoeia are satisfied, the quality of the afatinib dimaleate and a preparation product containing the afatinib dimaleate is effectively controlled, and the method is high in specificity, high in sensitivity and good in accuracy.
