To establish a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS method) for determination the contents of 5-methyl isoquinoline sulfonic acid (impurity A) and 5-ethyl isoquinoline sulfonic acid (impurity C) which are genotoxic impurities in fashudil hydrochloride.
The LC-MS/MS method was achieved by a Waters Symmetry C18(100 mm×3 mm, 3.5 μm) column utilizing a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile with gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL·min-1. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃, the injection volume was 10 μL. The electrospray was operated with the source ESI under positive ionization scanning mode, and data were collected and analyzed.
Standard curves of impurity A and impurity C have a good linear relationship in the linear range. The limits of detection were 0.2 and 0.02 ng·mL-1, respectively, and the average recovery range was 93.0%~98.0%, RSD<4.67%(n=9). The RSDs of precision, accuracy, stability and durability tests were all less than 10.0%. Impurities A and C in the 3 batches of fashudil hydrochloride were not detected.
The established method was fast, accurate and reproducible, which could be used for the control of genotoxic impurities A and C in fashudil hydrochloride.
