The invention relates to a
phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor
apremilast composition and a quality detection method. The
apremilast composition is a tablet, comprises
lactose,
magnesium stearate and otherauxiliary materials, and is used for treating
adult patients suffering from active psoriatic
arthritis,
adult patients suffering from moderate-to-severe plaque
psoriasis and suitable for phototherapyor systemic therapy, and adult oral ulcer patients related to Bessel's
disease. The quality detection method comprises the step of determining the content of the
enantiomer in the tablet, and comprises the following operations: by using a chiral
chromatographic column and using n-
hexane, isopropanol and the like as mobile phases, in a
high performance liquid chromatography system, injecting 5 [mu]l of a
system applicable solution into a liquid chromatograph, wherein the peak appearance sequence is
enantiomer peaks and
apremilast peaks successively, and the separation degree between two peaks is not less than 1.5, and precisely measuring 5 [mu]l of the
test solution, injecting the
test solution into a liquid chromatograph, recording a chromatogram, and calculating the content of the
enantiomer according to an area normalization method if enantiomer peaks exist in the chromatogram of the
test solution. The compositions and methods of the present invention exhibit excellent technical effects as described in the specification.
