The invention provides a method for detecting
tretinoin and / or related substances thereof in a
tretinoin preparation, and relates to the technical field of
medicine detection. The method comprises the following steps: pre-treating a
tretinoin preparation to be detected: mixing the preparation to be detected, a gel breaker and a
diluent, carrying out
solid-liquid separation operation, and collecting a liquid component which is a sample liquid to be detected; by adopting the
pretreatment method, matrix interference in the preparation to be detected can be effectively removed. The to-be-detected sample solution is detected by
high performance liquid chromatography, and rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of tretinoin and seven related substances in the tretinoin preparation can be realized. Wherein the tretinoin and the seven related substances have good peak shapes, the separation degree of each substance is high, the accuracy of a detection result is high, the
detection limit is low, the quantitation limit is low, the detection sensitivity is high, and the stability is strong. According to the detection method provided by the invention, the defect of detection of tretinoin and related substances in the tretinoin preparation in the prior art is overcome, and a
technical support is provided for inspection and
quality control of the tretinoin preparation.
