The study was designed to establish a 2D UPLC-QTOF method to extrapolate the structure of an unknown substance in carboplatin injection and its relationship with the excipient. By using phenyl-hexyl column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase consisting of tetrabutylammonium sulfate buffer (pH 7.5) and acetonitrile in gradient elution mode, an unknown impurity in carboplatin injection was found and quantitatively determined. Then a 2D UPLC-QTOF, HSS T3 column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) was employed to confirm the molecular weight and the structure of the unknown impurity (electrospray ionization source, positive ion mode, MSE mode) with mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile. The relationship among impurities, API and excipient was investigated by accelerated stability test with ICP-MS/MS, ICP-AES. Results showed that disodium edetate in the formulation interacted with carboplatin producing an unknown impurity containing platin, and induced the increase of 1, 1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid. The research should be done on the rationality of the addition of disodium edetate in such injections containing heavy metals.
