To study the related impurities in asperosaponin VI bulk drug and to develop a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of asperosaponin VI and its related impurities.
The related impurities were detected in asperosaponin VI bulk drug by a newly developed HPLC method, obtained by ODS column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC methods, and the structures were elucidated by TOF-MS, IR, and NMR techniques. The HPLC method was validated according to ICH guidelines for asperosaponin VI and its related impurities.
Seven related impurities (Imp 1-7) were isolated from asperosaponin VI bulk drug. Impurity 3 was found to be a mixture of two epimers, and was first reported in the paper. The validation results showed good sensitivity, specificity, linearity (r(2) ≥ 0.997 9), precision (RSD < 5.0%), accuracy (recoveries in the range of 94.61%-106.51%) and robustness.
The developed HPLC method is suitable for the quality control of asperosaponin VI bulk drug.
研究重楼皂苷 VI 原料药中的有关物质,并建立高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定重楼皂苷 VI 及其有关物质的方法。
采用 ODS 柱层析和半制备 HPLC 方法,从重楼皂苷 VI 原料药中检测到相关杂质,通过 TOF-MS、IR、NMR 等技术对其结构进行了阐明。按照 ICH 指南对重楼皂苷 VI 及其有关物质进行了 HPLC 方法验证。
从重楼皂苷 VI 原料药中分离得到 7 种有关物质(Imp1-7)。杂质 3 被发现是两个差向异构体的混合物,这在文献中尚属首次报道。验证结果表明,该方法灵敏度高、专属性强、线性关系良好(r²≥0.9979)、精密度(RSD<5.0%)、准确度(回收率在 94.61%-106.51%范围内)和稳健性良好。
所建立的 HPLC 方法适用于重楼皂苷 VI 原料药的质量控制。
