The invention belongs to the technical field of
analytical chemistry, and particularly relates to a method for separating and determining a
fulvestrant starting material SM1 and seven impurities thereof. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out
gradient elution by taking octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica as a
chromatographic column filler, taking
purified water as a mobile phase A and taking an
organic solvent as a mobile phase B, and then detecting in a
detector with the detection
wavelength of 240nm, wherein the flow velocity of the mobile phase is 0.9-1.1 ml / min, and the temperature of a column box of the
chromatographic column is 28-32 DEG C. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the
fulvestrant starting material SM1 and seven process impurities thereof can be simultaneously and completely separated and qualitatively or quantitatively detected, and the method is simple, convenient, feasible, good in reproducibility, strong in specificity and high in sensitivity. According to the method, the problem of separation and determination of the
fulvestrant starting material SM1 and seven process impurities is solved, the quality of the fulvestrant starting material SM1 is ensured to be controllable, and the safety and effectiveness of the product are finally determined.
