RESUMO
Oils and fats are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as solvents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, and dispersants, and are an important category of pharmaceutical excipients. Fatty acids with unique compositions are important components of oil pharmaceutical excipients. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia provides clear descriptions of the fatty acid types and limits suitable for individual oil pharmaceutical excipient. An unqualified fatty acid composition or content may indicate adulteration or deterioration. The fatty acid composition, as a key indicator for the identification and adulteration evaluation of oil pharmaceutical excipients, can directly affect the quality and safety of oil pharmaceutical excipients and preparations. Gas chromatography is the most widely used technique for fatty acid analysis, but it generally requires derivatization, which affects quantitative accuracy. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), an environmentally friendly technique with excellent separation capability, offers an efficient method for detecting fatty acids without derivatization. Unlike other chromatographic methods, SFC does not use nonvolatile solvents (e. g., water) as the mobile phase, rendering it compatible with an evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD) for enhanced detection sensitivity. However, the fatty acids in oil pharmaceutical excipients exist in the free and bound forms, and the low content of free fatty acids in these oil pharmaceutical excipients not only poses challenges for their detection but also complicates the determination of characteristic fatty acid compositions and contents. Moreover, the compositions and ratios of fatty acids are influenced by environmental factors, leading to interconversion between their two forms. In this context, saponification provides a simpler and faster alternative to derivatization. Saponification degrades oils and fats by utilizing the reaction between esters and an alkaline solution, ultimately releasing the corresponding fatty acids. Because this method is more cost effective than derivatization, it is a suitable pretreatment method for the detection of fatty acids in oil pharmaceutical excipients using the SFC-ELSD approach. In this study, we employed SFC-ELSD to simultaneously determine six fatty acids, namely, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, docosanoic acid, and lignoceric acid, in oil pharmaceutical excipients. Saponification of the oil pharmaceutical excipients using sodium hydroxide methanol solution effectively avoided the bias in the determination of fatty acid species and contents caused by the interconversion of fatty acids and esters. The separation of the six fatty acids was achieved within 12 min, with good linearity within their respective mass concentration ranges. The limits of detection and quantification were 5-10 mg/L and 10-25 mg/L, respectively, and the spiked recoveries were 80.93%-111.66%. The method proved to be sensitive, reproducible, and stable, adequately meeting requirements for the analysis of fatty acids in oil pharmaceutical excipients. Finally, the analytical method was successfully applied to the determination of six fatty acids in five types of oil pharmaceutical excipients, namely, corn oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and peanut oil. It can be combined with principal component analysis to accurately differentiate different types of oil pharmaceutical excipients, providing technical support for the rapid identification and quality control of oil pharmaceutical excipients. Thus, the proposed method may potentially be applied to the analysis of complex systems adulterated with oil pharmaceutical excipients.

Characterization of aminoglycoside antibiotics like ribostamycin is important due to the complex composition and common toxic impurities. Aerosol detectors are often employed for determination of these non-absorbent analytes. In this work, a robust and cost-effective method was developed for simultaneous detection of ribostamycin and its related substances using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a relative new aerosol detector named nano-quantity analyte detector (NQAD). With the introduction of less toxic but more compatible ion-pairs pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the eluent, an optimized separation effect was achieved. Compared with the other two aerosol detectors namely ELSD (evaporative light scattering detector) and CAD (charged aerosol detector), method verification and quantitative detection results revealed that NQAD had higher sensitivity than ELSD with a 0.8 µg/mL limit of detection, as well as wider linear range (from 2 µg/mL to 1000 µg/mL) than both CAD (from 2 µg/mL to 200 µg/mL) and ELSD (from 8 µg/mL to 200 µg/mL) detector. The performance of NQAD helped to realize detection of ribostamycin and its impurities with significant concentration differences in a single run. With a cation suppressor to eliminate the ion-suppression caused by the ion-pairs in the eluent, the structure of nine impurities in ribostamycin sample was characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrum (LC-MS). Both external standard and area normalization calculation were investigated, and NQAD obtained more accurate results due to its full-range linear response-to-concentration relationship, providing an alternative for routine quality control of multi analyte systems.

Analyzing polysorbate 20 (PS20) composition and the impact of each component on stability and safety is crucial due to formulation variations and individual tolerance. The similar structures and polarities of PS20 components make accurate separation, identification, and quantification challenging. In this work, a high-resolution quantitative method was developed using single-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with charged aerosol detection (CAD) to separate 18 key components with multiple esters. The separated components were characterized by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) with an identical gradient as the HPLC-CAD analysis. The polysorbate compound database and library were expanded over 7-time compared to the commercial database. The method investigated differences in PS20 samples from various origins and grades for different dosage forms to evaluate the composition-process relationship. UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS identified 1329 to 1511 compounds in 4 batches of PS20 from different sources. The method observed the impact of 4 degradation conditions on peak components, identifying stable components and their tendencies to change. HPLC-CAD and UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS results provided insights into fingerprint differences, distinguishing quasi products.
RESUMO
Current genotoxicity assessment methods are mainly employed to verify the genotoxic safety of drugs, but do not allow for rapid screening of specific genotoxic impurities (GTIs). In this study, a new approach for the recognition of GTIs has been proposed. It is to expose the complex samples to an in vitro nucleoside incubation model, and then draw complete DNA adduct profiles to infer the structures of potential genotoxic impurities (PGIs). Subsequently, the genotoxicity is confirmed in human by 3D bioprinted human liver organoids. To verify the feasibility of the approach, lansoprazole chloride compound (Lanchlor), a PGI during the synthesis of lansoprazole, was selected as the model drug. After confirming genotoxicity by Comet assay, it was exposed to different models to map and compare the DNA adduct profiles by LC-MS/MS. The results showed Lanchlor could generate diverse DNA adducts, revealing firstly its genotoxicity at molecular mechanism of action. Furthermore, the largest variety and content of DNA adducts were observed in the nucleoside incubation model, while the human liver organoids exhibited similar results with rats. The results showed that the combination of DNA adductomics and 3D bioprinted organoids were useful for the rapid screening of GTIs.

A previously developed high-performance liquid chromatography method combined with pulsed amperometric detection allowed to separate many impurities of paromomycin. However, due to the presence of ion pairing agents and sodium hydroxide in the mobile phase, direct coupling to mass spectrometry for the identification of the chemical structures of the impurities was not an option. Indeed, ion suppression was encountered by trifluoroacetic acid and pentafluoroproponic acid in the mobile phase. A cation self-regenerating suppressor, which was originally designed for increasing analyte conductivity of ammonia and amines analysis in ion chromatography, was coupled between the liquid chromatography and ion trap-time of flight-mass spectrometry and almost all trifluoroacetic acid and pentafluoroproponic acid in the mobile phase was removed. The limit of detection of paromomycin in this integrated system improved significantly to 20 ng/ml (0.4 ng). The chemical structures of 19 impurities were elucidated and seven impurities were reported for the first time.
RESUMO
A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the determination of related substances in egg yolk lecithin. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a gradient elution on a Waters Xbridge HILIC column maintained at 35 â. Mobile phase A was composed of water-acetonitrile (80:20, v/v, containing 5 mM ammonium acetate), and mobile phase B was composed of acetonitrile. Analytes were monitored by a charged aerosol detector (CAD) at 50 â. The novel HPLC-CAD method was selective and sensitive for the determination of related substances in egg yolk lecithin in its commercial bulk batches. It was also successfully validated by the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. The method will be a renewal of an old Chinese Pharmacopoeia method (2020 edition). Moreover, quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS) was integrated with HPLC to investigate phospholipid species in egg yolk lecithin. This work provides comprehensive composition profiles of egg yolk lecithin, thereby accelerating the quality control, development, and application of egg yolk lecithin.

Ion-pair liquid chromatography with pulsed electrochemical detection (LC-PED) was established for the analysis of impurities in arbekacin (ABK) sulfate. APursuit pentafluorophenylpropyl (PFP) column was used as stationary phase. This novel method showed greater separation and sensitivity ability. In a representative ABK sample, 24 impurity peaks were detected in LC-PED, where of only 9 were monitored by a post-column derivatization method prescribed by the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP). For identification of the chemical structures of the impurities detected by LC-PED, LC-Mass Spectrometry (MS) was used. Two challenges had to be overcome in this work. The first was the transfer of the MS incompatible mobile phase to an MS compatibleone while maintaining the elution order of the peaks in the chromatograms. Previously reported approaches such as two-dimensional (2D)LC were hardly applicable in this case due to the lack of ultraviolet (UV) absorbing chromophores in ABK and its impurities. The sodium hydroxide solution was replaced by aqueous ammonia to adjust the pH of the mobile phase used in LC-PED. The other challenge encountered was the ion suppression effect caused by trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and pentafluoroproponic acid (PFPA) in the mobile phase. Some strategies such as "TFA-fixed" and its modifications were tried, but they were inconvenient and severe contamination of the MS was observed. A cationself-regenerating suppressor (CSRS), which was originally designed for increasing analyte conductivityof ammonia and amines analysis in ion chromatography (IC), was coupled between the LC and Ion Trap-Time of Flight (IT-TOF)-MS and almost all TFA and PFPA in the mobile phase were removed. The limit of detection (LOD) of ABK in this integrated system improved significantly to 20 ng/mL. The chemical structures of the 28 impurities were elucidated and 15 impurities were reported for the first time.

Oleic acid is a pharmaceutical excipient and has been widely used in many dosage forms. It remains unclear in terms of the fatty acids (FAs) profile. In this study, a sensitive and direct method based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with charged aerosol detector (HPLC-CAD) was developed to study the compositions of oleic acid. The chromatographic conditions were optimized to achieve good separation and high sensitivity. The components of oleic acid were identified by ion trap/time of flight mass spectrometry (MS-IT-TOF). Twenty-seven FAs were identified based on the exact mass-to-charge ratio and fragments, among which 13 FAs were confirmed with the reference standards. Nine FAs in the oleic acid samples including oleic acid, linolenic acid, myristic acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid and behenic acid were simultaneously determined by the developed HPLC-CAD, which showed good linearity with r2>0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 9 FAs were 0.006-0.1 µg mL-1 and 0.032-0.22 µg mL-1, respectively. The components with concentration level not less than 0.03 % (referring to the sample concentration of 1.0 mg mL-1) can be quantified. The mean recovery values of 9 FAs ranged from 96.5%-103.6% at three concentration levels of 80 %, 100 % and 120 %. The repeatability and intermediate precision were less than 5.0 % for oleic acid and components with concentration levels more than 0.05 %. In contrast to the conventional pre-column derivatization gas chromatography (GC), HPLC-CAD could unbiasedly and directly detect more components, especially the FAs with long carbon chains. Overall, the developed novel HPLC-CAD method can ameliorate the deficiency of the indirect GC method recorded in current pharmacopeias, thus having great potential for the comprehensive understanding and quality control of oleic acid.

Growing evidence has shown that some pharmaceutical excipients can act on drug transporters. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of 13 commonly used excipients on the intestinal absorption of metformin (MTF) and the underlying mechanisms using Caco-2 cells and an ex vivo mouse non-everted gut sac model. First, the uptake of MTF in Caco-2 cells was markedly inhibited by nonionic excipients including Solutol HS 15, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, and crospovidone. Second, transport profile studies showed that MTF was taken up via multiple cation-selective transporters, among which a novel pyrilamine-sensitive proton-coupled organic cation (H+/OC+) antiporter played a key role. Third, Solutol HS 15, polysorbate 40, and polysorbate 60 showed cis-inhibitory effects on the uptake of either pyrilamine (prototypical substrate of the pyrilamine-sensitive H+/OC+ antiporter) or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (substrate of traditional cation-selective transporters including OCTs, MATEs, PMAT, SERT, and THTR-2), indicating that their suppression on MTF uptake is due to the synergistic inhibition toward multiple influx transporters. Finally, the pH-dependent mouse intestinal absorption of MTF was significantly decreased by Solutol HS 15, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, and pyrilamine. In conclusion, this study revealed that a novel transport process mediated by the pyrilamine-sensitive H+/OC+ antiporter contributes to the intestinal absorption of MTF in conjunction with the traditional cation-selective transporters. Mechanistic understanding of the interaction of excipients with cation-selective transporters can improve the formulation design and clinical application of cationic drugs.

This paper describes an improved liquid chromatography method combined with pulsed electrochemical detection for the analysis of etimicin sulfate. In total, 22 impurities could be separated. A TSK-GEL C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 µm) is used, and the mobile phase is composed of 40 mL of acetonitrile and 960 mL of an aqueous solution containing trifluoroacetic acid (15 mL/L), pentafluoropropionic acid (500 µL/L), 50% sodium hydroxide (8 mL/L) and sodium sulfate (1.5 g/L). The pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to 3.5 with 0.8 M sodium hydroxide. The influence of the different chromatographic parameters on the separation was investigated. A quadruple potential-time waveform was applied to the electrodes of the detection cell. 0.8 M sodium hydroxide was added post column to raise the pH to at least 12 before detection. A central composite experimental design was used to describe the relationship between factors and response values and to establish factorial analysis. Compared to previously published investigations, this improved method shows higher sensitivity, better separation ability and robustness and has been incorporated by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015 for analysis of etimicin sulfate. A number of commercial samples of etimicin sulfate were also analyzed using this method.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with the use of mass spectrometry (MS) has been considered as a unique tool for microscale enzyme assay and inhibitor screening. In this study, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was selected as target enzyme due to its important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. In order to define the optimal MS parameters, a two level half fraction factorial experimental design was performed. A background electrolyte consisting of 20mM ammonium acetate (pH 6.8) and a sheath liquid of water-methanol (50:50, v/v) containing 0.05% formic acid at a flow rate of 4µl/min were selected. This system was operated in the positive ion mode with a detection-limit of 10nM for the MMP reaction product and provided 60 folds enhancement of sensitivity by using selected reaction monitoring detection compared with MS full scan mode, which significantly increased the detectability of the system and therefore reduced the enzyme reaction time in both off-line and in-line mode. Both electrophoretically mediated microanalysis and pressure mediated microanalysis combined with MS detection were investigated for MMP inhibitor screening. Good repeatability (RSD of peak area and migration time were lower than 5.0%) and linearity (R(2)>0.996) were obtained for both in-capillary approaches. Several tetracycline antibiotics and natural products were selected to test the system. The results indicated an agreement on the ranking of inhibitory potency for both in-capillary approaches.

This paper describes the separation of the main component micronomicin from its related substances using a new established liquid chromatographic method with pulsed electrochemical detection (LC-PED). The mobile phase consists of 1 volume of acetonitrile and 99 volumes of an aqueous solution containing 1.25% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid, 0.025% (v/v) pentafluoropropionic acid and 0.85% (v/v) of 50% sodium hydroxide. The pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to 2.6 with 0.5 M NaOH. The influence of the different chromatographic parameters on the separation was investigated. A quadruple-potential waveform was used as detection waveform. 0.5 M NaOH was added post column at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min to raise the pH of detection to at least 12. The LOD and LOQ of micronomicin are 0.08 µg/mL (1.6 ng injected) and 0.25 µg/mL (5 ng injected), respectively. The linearity of micronomicin ranges from 0.25 to 60 µg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9978. Intra-day RSD and inter-day RSD of micronomicin are 0.89% and 0.55%, respectively. This method proved to be robust and is also applicable to a wider number of C18 columns. A number of commercial samples of micronomicin sulfate were analyzed using this method and 18 peaks can be separated from the main component and from each other in one sample. Seven peaks could be identified using reference substances. The chemical structure of two unknown impurities could be characterized by LC-MS based on comparison of their fragmentation patterns with those of available reference substances.

A fast and sensitive chiral capillary electrophoresis method has been developed to determine levornidazole and its enantiomeric impurity at a 0.05% level in levornidazole injection solution. Several chemical and instrumental parameters which have an effect on chiral separation were investigated, including chiral selectors, buffer composition and pH, applied voltage, capillary length, temperature and rinsing procedure. After optimizing all the effective parameters, the ideal separation conditions were 20 mM Tris phosphate buffer at pH 2.1, containing 2.0% (w/v) sulfated-α-cyclodextrin with short end injection at 0.5 psi for 5.0 s. Online UV detection was performed at 277 nm. A voltage of 30 kV was applied and the capillary temperature was kept at 25 °C. 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine was chosen as internal standard to improve the injection precision. The total analysis time is less than 7 min, which is faster than the existing chiral HPLC method (65 min). The validation of the method was performed in terms of factorial analysis, stability of the solution, different cyclodextrin batches study, selectivity, linearity (from 2.5 µg/mL to 6000 µg/mL, y=0.0015 x+0.0304; R(2)=0.9999 and the residuals were randomly scattered around 0), LOD and LOQ (0.3 and 1.0 µg/mL, respectively), precision and accuracy. The proposed method was then applied to the enantiomeric purity control of the starting material and injection solution of levornidazole (0.5 mg/100 mL).

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method with pre-column derivatization for the determination of alliin and its related substances, which are the precursors of garlic's active components, was established. Alliin was derivatized with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimicly carbamate (AQC). The reaction of derivatization was very fast and the derivative was stable. The analysis was carried out on a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) with a gradientelution and detection at 248 nm. The mobile ph ase consisted of 0.1% acetamide (0.03% acetic acid) (A) and the mixture of water and acetonitrile (40: 60, v/v) (B), and the flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min. The linear calibration was found for alliin within the range of 1.171 9 -1 500 microg/mL (r = 0.999 8). The inter-day and intra-day precision were good with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 1.8% (n = 5). The recovery was 99.1% with the RSD of 1.9%. The limit of detection was 0.15 microg/mL. The method established is accurate, simple and rapid and suitable for the determination of alliin and related substances.
