The invention discloses a method for detecting
nicergoline related substances. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a
test solution; preparing a contrast solution; and respectively injecting the
test solution and the contrast solution into a high performance liquid chromatograph, and simultaneously detecting various related substances of
nicergoline under the same chromatographic condition by using a mixed-mode
chromatographic column through a
gradient elution procedure. By adopting the strong cation exchange and reversed-phase C18 mixed filler
chromatographic column and combining with an optimized
ion pair
reagent buffer
system and a
gradient elution procedure, all key impurities in
nicergoline can be detected at one time by adopting a set of liquid
chromatography system, so that the detection efficiency is improved by about 50%, the operation process is greatly simplified, and the detection cost is reduced.
Solvent consumption and personal errors are reduced; the separation degree of each
impurity peak and the main peak is greater than 2.0, the peak shape is symmetrical, the
system adaptability is good, the method reproducibility is excellent, and a more efficient, comprehensive and reliable analysis means is provided for the
quality control of nicergoline.
