Abstract
The presence of impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug products represents a risk to patients' health. Such substances are related to diverse side effects and may have mutagenic potential. That's why it is necessary to establish acceptable limits for these by-products, to minimize the risk associated with medicinal therapy. This work focused on presenting a critical review of relevant points related to the presence of impurities in pharmaceuticals. The main legislation and guidelines from the FDA, EMA, ICH, and Pharmacopeias about the subject were evaluated, and recent articles related to the topic were searched in Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Web of Science from 2013 to 2023. Additionally, the analytical techniques used for quantifying impurities were discussed, along with relevant tests for assessing the toxicological and mutagenic risks of these by-products. Recent legislation, including ICH Q3A (R2), ICH Q3B (R2), ICH M7 (R2), ICH Q3D (R2), ICH Q3C (R9), ICH Q3E, ICH Q6A, ICH M3 (R2), as well as FDA and EMA guidelines, highlights a comprehensive and effective framework for controlling impurities in pharmaceuticals. Despite this, there remains a lack of harmonization and standardized procedures across different regions. From the review of scientific literature, we observed that advancements in analytical techniques have significantly improved the sensitivity and selectivity in detecting impurities and degradation products. This underscores the ongoing commitment of health agencies and the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicinal products.

Sun Y, Wu X, Zuo P, Liu Z, Miao X, Liu J, Wen H. Synthesis and mutagenic risk of avanafil's potential genotoxic impurities. RSC Adv 2024; 14:21432-21438. [PMID: 38979469 PMCID: PMC11228755 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02345e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
In the technical route for the synthesis of avanafil, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbamyldiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) are used as reactive acid-amine binding agents. HOBT contains trace amounts of hydrazine residue, and there is a risk of introducing potentially mutagenic impurities with hydrazide-containing structures. The potentially genotoxic impurities E (Imp-E) and F (Imp-F) of avanafil with altering hydrazide-structure were synthesized by chemical method; subsequently, the impurities were evaluated and classified according to ICH M7 guidelines. Two complementary quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) evaluation systems (Derek and Sarah) based on expert rules and statistics were used to preliminarily predict the genotoxicity of Imp-E and Imp-F, and the prediction result of E was suspected to be positive. In the Ames test of Imp-E and Imp-F, in the dose range of 62.5-1000 μg per plate, with or without the presence of metabolic activation system S9, the number of revertant colonies did not exceed 2 times the number of colonies in the solvent control group and did not show a dose-response relationship, and the test results were negative. Imp-E and Imp-F were determined to be negative for genotoxicity, which could be controlled as class 5 in ICH M7, that is, non mutagenic impurity.

J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 236:115687. [PMID: 37657178 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2023.115687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Vorinostat is the first USFDA-approved HDAC inhibitor for the treatment of cutaneous t-cell lymphoma. Vorinostat was exposed to ICH-recommended hydrolytic (acid, base, and neutral), oxidative, thermal, and photolytic stress conditions to understand the degradation behaviour. A Stability indicating LC method was developed and validated for separating and identifying forced degradation products. Under different stress conditions, six degradants were identified and characterized by LC-HRMS, MS/MS, and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass studies. Vorinostat was found to be highly susceptible to the acidic and basic environment. In contrast, the drug substance was stable in the solid state under thermal and photolytic conditions whereas, it was found moderately stable when photolytic stress was provided to dissolved state of Vorinostat in acetonitrile-water. The degradants were identified as 7-amino-N-phenylheptanamide, 8-hydrazineyl-8-oxo-N-phenyloctanamide, 8-oxo-8-(phenylamino)octanoic acid, 8-oxo-8-(2-(7-oxo-7-(phenylamino)heptyl)hydrazineyl)-N-phenyloctanamide, 8,8'-(1-hydroxyhydrazine-1,2-diyl)bis(8-oxo-N-phenyloctanamide), and N1-((8-oxo-8-(phenylamino)octanoyl)oxy)-N8-phenyloctanediamide. The mechanistic explanation for the formation of each degradant in stability conditions has also been derived. The major degradants were also isolated/synthesized and characterized through 1H NMR for preparing impurity standards. Additionally, in-silico toxicity of the degradants was predicted in comparison to the drug, to identify whether any degradant has any specific type of toxicity and requires special focus to set specification limits during formulation development. The predicted toxicity indicated that the degradants have similar safety profile as that of the drug and specification can be set as per general impurity guideline.

Multivariate Chemometric Comparison of Forced Degradation and Electrochemical Oxidation LC-MS Profiles of Maraviroc. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031195. [PMID: 36770862 PMCID: PMC9920961 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, nine forced degradation products of maraviroc were found using chemometric analysis. This antiretroviral drug was subjected to photolytic, oxidative, as well as neutral, basic and acidic hydrolysis stress conditions. Additionally, its electrochemical transformation on platinum, gold and glassy carbon screen-printed electrodes was examined. This study showed that maraviroc is especially susceptible to UVA, H2O2 and electrochemical degradation, while being resistant to neutral and acidic hydrolysis. A cluster analysis showed that the electrochemical transformation, with particular reference to the platinum electrode, is able to partially simulate the forced degradation processes, especially in the context of redox reactions. These findings indicate that the electrochemical methods can be considered as quick and relatively low-cost supplements to the commonly applied forced degradation procedures.

Abstract
Abstract
The “purity” of an organic compound typically refers, in practice, to an assignment of the mass fraction content of the primary organic component present in the material. The “purity” value of an organic primary calibrator material is the ultimate source of metrological traceability of any quantitative measurement of the content of that compound in a given matrix. The primary calibrator may consist of a Certified Reference Material (CRM) whose purity has been assigned by the CRM producer or a laboratory may choose to value-assign a material to the extent necessary for their intended application by using appropriately valid methods. This report provides an overview of the approach, performance and applicability of the principal methods used to determine organic purity including mass balance, quantitative NMR, thermal methods and direct-assay techniques. A statistical section reviews best practice for combination of data, value assignment as the upper limit values corresponding to 100 % purity are approached and how to report and propagate the standard uncertainty associated with the assigned values.

Abstract
:
Analysis of pharmaceutical products, as well as their active and inactive ingredients, and
identification and characterization of potential impurities originating from raw materials and manufacturing
processes is of importance in the field, especially for further assessment of potential positive or
negative effects on the human body. In addition to expected therapeutic effects, unfortunately, some
unwanted or adverse effects were encountered in the past, resulting in dramatic cases sometimes. These
challenges have been overcome with the use of sophisticated and high-end analytical techniques today
by focusing on developing more efficient, more accurate, more accessible, and faster determination
techniques.
:
One of the powerful techniques utilized under the given aim, especially for qualitative purposes, is the
Time of Flight (TOF) based Mass Spectrometry (MS). Among the TOF-MS instruments, liquid chromatography-
mass spectrometry-ion trap-time of flight (LCMS-IT-TOF) has a unique MSn capability,
which is a versatile tool in exact mass prediction and structure elucidation. In this review, LCMS-ITTOF
has been considered taking all aspects to account for its use in qualitative impurity profiling, and
a retrospective view on previous studies was presented in an analytical manner.

Abstract
Ezetimibe (EZM) is a selective inhibitor of the sterol transporter Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 in the small intestine used as an adjunctive therapy to lower cholesterol levels in cases of hyperlipidemia. The goal of this work was to summarize the main physical-chemical, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic characteristics of EZM, as well as to describe the main analytical methodologies for the quantification of the drug. Methods described in the United States Pharmacopeia for EZM raw material and tablets were also presented. The drug has a large number of process-related impurities and degradation products and needs strict quality control of its impurities. Specific chiral methods for the evaluation of its chiral impurities are also a need for EZM. The main advantages and disadvantages of the compiled analytical methods were presented, as well as the limits of detection and quantitation. The fastest and most efficient methods were highlighted. Most methods for analyzing EZM used C8 or C18 stationary phases in gradient mode with binary mobile phases containing acetonitrile and an acidic buffer solution with ultraviolet detection. For analysis of EZM in biological matrices, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is generally employed using electron spray ionization in negative ionization mode using multiple reaction monitoring. Different methods in the literature evaluate a large number of impurities for EZM, however new stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography methods for the drug are still needed.

Abstract
Heparin is an anticoagulant medication that is usually injected subcutaneously. The quality of a set of commercial heparin injections from different producers was examined by NMR, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopies and potentiometric multisensor system. The type of raw material regarding heparin animal origin and producer, heparin molecular weight and activity values were derived based on the non-targeted analysis of 1H NMR fingerprints. DOSY NMR spectroscopy was additionally used to study homogeneity and additives profile. UV-Vis and IR, being cheaper than NMR, combined with multivariate statistics were successfully applied to study excipients composition as well as semi-estimation of activity values. Potentiometric multisensor measurements were found to be an important additional source of information about inorganic composition of finished heparin formulations. All investigated instrumental techniques are useful for finished heparin injections and should be selected according to availability as well as the information and confidence required for a specific sample.

Abstract
Bendamustine deschloro dimer was considered as a potential impurity in bendamustine hydrochloride resulting from the hydrolysis of bendamustine followed by intermolecular esterification. An efficient synthesis of bendamustine deschloro dimer was achieved from 4-(5-amino-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)butanoate involving nine sequential steps including benzyl-protection/deprotection of the amine and carboxylic acid groups, saponification, ring-opening reaction of oxirane as well as Fischer/Steglish esterfication and so on. The target bendamustine deschloro dimer was obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatography in a purity of 95.63%.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis represents a promising technique in the field of pharmaceutical analysis. The presented review provides a summary of capillary electrophoretic methods suitable for routine quality control analyses of small molecule drugs published since 2015. In total, more than 80 discussed methods are sorted into three main sections according to the applied electroseparation modes (capillary zone electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and micellar, microemulsion, and liposome-electrokinetic chromatography) and further subsections according to the applied detection techniques (UV, capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection, and mass spectrometry). Key parameters of the procedures are summarized in four concise tables. The presented applications cover analyses of active pharmaceutical ingredients and their related substances such as degradation products or enantiomeric impurities. The contribution of reported results to the current knowledge of separation science and general aspects of the practical applications of capillary electrophoretic methods are also discussed.

Abstract
The perfect separation with optimal productivity, yield, and purity is very difficult to achieve. Despite its high selectivity, in crystallization unwanted impurities routinely contaminate a crystallization product. Awareness of the mechanism by which the impurity incorporates is key to understanding how to achieve crystals of higher purity. Here, we present a general workflow which can rapidly identify the mechanism of impurity incorporation responsible for poor impurity rejection during a crystallization. A series of four general experiments using standard laboratory instrumentation is required for successful discrimination between incorporation mechanisms. The workflow is demonstrated using four examples of active pharmaceutical ingredients contaminated with structurally related organic impurities. Application of this workflow allows a targeted problem-solving approach to the management of impurities during industrial crystallization development, while also decreasing resources expended on process development.

UPLC-ESI/Q-TOF MS/MS Method for Determination of Vildagliptin and its Organic Impurities. J Chromatogr Sci 2020; 58:718-725.

Abstract
Vildagliptin (VLG) corresponds to a drug used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This disease requires continuous treatment, and so the control of impurities present in it is important to assure the quality of this drug. Thus, it is necessary to use sensitive and selective detection techniques and the ultra-performance liquid chromatography is a better option compared with high-performance liquid chromatography because it enhances the separation efficiency with a shorter analysis time and an increased resolution. This research analysis was accomplished by using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, and the quantification was performed by using an extracted ion from the VLG drug and its main organic impurities of synthesis. During the validation process, following international standards, the method proved to be linear for the tree substances (R2 = 0.997-0.998) and the analysis of variance showed a non-significant linearity deviation (P > 0.05). Three critical factors were selected to evaluate method robustness with a full factorial experimental design, and the changes in the parameters were found to be not significant for the quantification of VLG and its impurities. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of impurities in VLG was precise, accurate and robust proving to be effective for analysis in the pharmaceutical industry and to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of the new drug developed.

Abstract
Polysorbates are used in a variety of applications over a wide range of markets. Simple in concept, these products are complex in actual composition. Mass spectrometry and related techniques have been effectively used to characterize these products, from the major components to the minor residual production byproducts and degradation species. In this paper we review the use of MALDI-MS, LC/MS, GC/MS, and SFC/MS in the analysis of these materials. The wealth of information provided by MALDI is presented, using Polysorbate 60 as an example. Limitations are described, with the impact of matrix selection and cationization agent demonstrated. Furthermore, unique challenges of MALDI analysis of Polysorbate 80 are shown. Polysorbates have been extensively analyzed, especially by the biopharmaceutical industry, to better understand the impact of various grades of purity and manufacture on the stability of formulations. Using Polysorbate 80 as an example, we illustrate some of the more advanced techniques used to more fully characterize these complex molecules using high-resolution LC/MS and LC/MS/MS. Finally, the use of other techniques (such as GC/MS and SFC/MS) is briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Various organic impurities (starting materials, reagents, intermediates, degradation products, by-products, and side products) could be present in active pharmaceutical ingredients affecting their qualities, safeties, and efficacies. Herein, we present the efficient syntheses of two United States Pharmacopeia impurities of an antidiabetic drug sitagliptin, a potent and orally active dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor: 3-desamino-2,3-dehydrositagliptin and 3-desamino-3,4-dehydrositagliptin. Our three-step synthetic approach is based on the efficient cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 1-bromo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene and methyl 4-bromocrotonate in the first step, followed by hydrolysis of corresponding ester with 3 M HCl to (E)-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)but-2-enoic acid in high overall yield, whereas the reaction with 3 M NaOH resulted in the carbon-carbon double bond regio-isomerization and hydrolysis to give the (E)-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)but-3-enoic acid in 92% yield. Both acid derivatives were converted to title compounds via the amide bond formation with 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine. Extensive screening of coupling/activation reagents, bases, and solvents reviled that the amide bond is formed the most efficiently using the (COCl)2/Et3N in THF or alternatively EDC/NMM/(DMAP or HOBt) in DMF obtaining the title compounds in 68-76% yields and providing the overall yields for the three-step process in the range of 57-64% on a gram scale. The presented study also demonstrates the importance of a proper selection of solvent, base, and coupling/activating reagent for amide bond formation using Michael acceptor-type allylbenzene derivatives as coupling partners to minimize the carbon-carbon double bond regio-isomerization.

Abstract
Elemental impurities in drug samples can generate unwanted pharmacological–toxicological effects, therefore they must be carefully monitored. In order to update the elemental analysis of pharmaceutical products, new regulations for elemental impurities were published by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). This work presents elemental analysis of 23 analytes in omeprazole drug samples from seven different commercial brands considering reference, similar and generic medicines using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Microwave-assisted digestion using 2.0 mol L−1 HNO3 (partial digestion) was applied successfully for omeprazole drugs. Most analytes were below the respective limits of quantification, except for As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Li, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb and V. However, the determined concentrations for these analytes were lower than the limits proposed by the USP Chapter 232 and similar for all products, inferring that for the seven analyzed samples there is no difference among reference, similar and generic drugs considering contaminants contents. Discussions considering potential risks of elemental contamination taking into account diverse brands were presented.

Abstract
Chemometrics is the chemistry field responsible for planning and extracting the maximum of information of experiments from chemical data using mathematical tools (linear algebra, statistics, and so on). Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can form impurities when exposed to excipients or environmental variables such as light, high temperatures, acidic or basic conditions, humidity, and oxidative environment. By considering that these impurities can affect the safety and efficacy of the drug product, it is necessary to know how these impurities are yielded and to establish the pathway of their formation. In this context, forced degradation studies of pharmaceutical drugs have been used for the characterization of physicochemical stability of APIs. These studies are also essential in the validation of analytical methodologies, in order to prove the selectivity of methods for the API and its impurities and to create strategies to avoid the formation of degradation products. This review aims to demonstrate how forced degradation studies have been actually performed and the applications of chemometric tools in related studies. Some papers are going to be discussed to exemplify the chemometric applications in forced degradation studies.

Abstract
Impurity investigations are important in pharmaceutical development to ensure drug purity and safety for the patient. The impurities typically found in drug products are degradants or reaction products of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or leachable compounds from the container closure system. However, secondary reactions may also occur between API degradants, excipient impurities, residual solvents, and leachables to form adduct impurities. We hereby report an adduct-forming interaction of API (moxifloxacin) with a leachable compound (ethylene glycol monoformate) in moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution. The leachable compound originated from a low-density polyethylene bottle used in the packaging of drug products. The adduct impurity was tentatively identified as 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-(1-(2-(formyloxy)ethyl) octahydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-6-yl)-8-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (C24H28FN3O6, MW = 473.19621) using accurate mass LC-QTOF analysis. The mass accuracy error between the theoretical mass and the experimental mass of an impurity was found to be 0.2 ppm. An MS/MS analysis was utilized to provide mass spectrometry fragments to support verification of the proposed structure.

Abstract
Phthalates are chemical compounds employed as plasticizers in the plastic industry and have been reported to migrate into drug products. The extent of their migration into the drug product depends upon various factors including the chemical nature of the migrant and the permeability of its packaging container. Migration of semi-volatile phthalates such as Diethyl phthalate (DEP) into drug products is often related to the primary and secondary packaging but due to its chemical nature, it could also migrate from an ancillary component. Therefore, it is not only important to screen the primary and secondary components, but also the ancillary materials that are used during the handling of drug products. In our study, we discovered an ancillary material (scotch tape) to be the source of DEP found in an ophthalmic drug product using orthogonal mass spectroscopy techniques (GC-MS and LC-MS). It is evident from our data that DEP migrated from the scotch tape into the drug product crossing the physical barriers provided by the primary (LDPE container closure system) and secondary packaging (carton and label). The tape was used as an ancillary material to wrap the packaged drug product units together for storage in the stability chamber. The primary and the secondary packaging of the drug product did not exhibit any traces of DEP. The aim of this report is to demonstrate how a chemical compound can migrate into the drug product from an ancillary source (which is not a part of its packaging) and adulterate a drug product. The impact of ancillary materials on drug products should be evaluated appropriately prior to their implementation.

Identification of impurities in macrolides by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric detection and prediction of retention times of impurities by constructing quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR).

Abstract
Macrolides are multicomponent drugs whose impurity control is always a challenge demanding analysis method with good sensitivity and selectivity. Three separate, sensitive, accurate liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methods (LC-MS) were developed for the measurement of three 16-membered ring macrolides (josamycin, josamycin propionate and midecamycin acetate) and related substances in commercial samples. The characteristics of impurities in macrolides were summarized as useful guidance for the impurity analysis of this class of drugs. For each drug, a large number of unknown components have been detected with the high-sensitive MS detector and possible structures of the majority of them were postulated based on the summarized fragmentation rules of 16-membered ring macrolides. A QSRR model was constructed by multilinear regression to predict the retention times of identified impurities which were not detected by the LC-MS methods, without obtaining their reference standards. Satisfactory performance was obtained during leave-one-out cross-validation with a predictive ability (Q2) of 0.95. The generalisation ability of the model was further confirmed by an average error of 2.3% in external prediction. The best QSRR model, based on eight molecular descriptors, exhibited a promising predictive performance and robustness.

Bueno LM, Manoel JW, Giordani CFA, Mendez ASL, Volpato NM, Schapoval EES, Steppe M, Garcia CV. HPLC method for simultaneous analysis of ticagrelor and its organic impurities and identification of two major photodegradation products. Eur J Pharm Sci 2016; 97:22-29. [PMID: 27816632 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2016.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2016] [Revised: 10/11/2016] [Accepted: 11/01/2016] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
A simple, fast and sensitive analytical method by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ticagrelor and two synthesis impurities. The HPLC method was established using an Agilent 1200 Series equipment coupled to photodiode array detector (PDA) at 270nm with a Zorbax Plus C8 column (150×4.6mm, 5.0μm), injection volume of 20μL, and a constant temperature of 25°C. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: ammonium acetate 50mM (57:43, v/v) and pH adjusted to 8.2 with ammonium hydroxide 6M, at a flow rate of 0.7mL/min. No interference peaks from excipients and diluent system indicated the specificity of the method. The calibration curves showed determination coefficients (r2)>0.99, calculated by linear regression. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for impurities 1 and 2 were 2.0 and 0.2μg/mL, respectively. Intra and interday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were <2% for ticagrelor and <6% for the impurities, proving the precision of the method. Besides, two mayor degradation products formed when sample solutions of ticagrelor were exposed to UVC radiation were elucidated and the mechanisms involved in the photolytic degradation of ticagrelor were proposed.

Capillary-induced Homogenization of Matrix in Paper: A Powerful Approach for the Quantification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging. Sci Rep 2016; 6:29970. [PMID: 27439589 PMCID: PMC4954946 DOI: 10.1038/srep29970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2016] [Accepted: 06/28/2016] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Herein we present a novel approach for the quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) using mass spectrometry imaging. This strategy uses a filter paper previously “eluted” with a MALDI matrix solution as a support for analyte application. Samples are submitted to mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and quantification through characteristic fingerprints is ultimately performed. Results for the content of rosuvastatin from a known formulation are comparable to those obtained with a validated HPLC method.
