To establish an HPLC method of the content and related substances of compound amino acid injection(3AA).
RP-HPLC was adopted to determine compound amino acid injection(3AA), combining with the use of two-dimensional column switching-LC/MSn method was applied to separate and identify the impurities. The determination was performed on Capcell PAK AQ C18(250 mm×4.6 mm, 3 μm) column with 0.2 mol·L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution (adjusted pH to 2.8 with phosphoric acid) -acetonitrile (98∶2) as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was 40 ℃, and the detection wavelength was 210 nm. And the injection volume was 20 μL. The LC/MSn method was performed on a Thermo Accucore AQ C18 (100 mm×4.6 mm, 2.6 μm) column with 0.1% formic acid solution as mobile phase A, 0.1% formic acid solution-acetonitrile as mobile phase B, at a flow rate of 0.4 mL·min-1, and at a column temperature of 40 ℃. The mass spectrometry conditions were performed using an ESI ionisation source in the positive-ion scanning mode with a scan range of m/z 100-1 000, and the secondary mass spectrum was carried out by data-dependent scanning.
The related substances were completely separated from the main constituents in RP-HPLC. The standard curve of valine was linear over the range of 1.263-5.050 mg·mL-1, with the average recovery of 99.0% (n=9). The standard curve of isoleucine was linear over the range of 1.350-5.402 mg·mL-1, with the average recovery of 99.4%(n=9). The standard curve of leucine was linear over the range of 1.647-6.588 mg·mL-1, with the average recovery of 99.5%(n=9). The main impurities in the three batches of samples were all process impurities introduced from the raw materials, with methionine content of 4.344 μg·mL-1, 3.751 μg·mL-1, 4.503 μg·mL-1, respectively, phenylalanine content of 4.636 μg·mL-1, 4.889 μg·mL-1, 4.753 μg·mL-1, respectively. The maximum single impurity contents were 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.01%, respectively.
The method is proved by the methodology validation that it can be used for the quality control of compound amino acid injection(3AA).
