The skilled person will be familiar with the operation of high performance liquid chromatography and the conditions required to achieve chromatographic separation.
The stationary phase in a chromatographic column is usually composed of solid packing, which allows for separation of components by the difference in type of force and strength of action between the sample molecules. Depending on the packing, the chromatographic column can be divided into: (1) silica gel column; (2) a chromatographic column chemically bound to the stationary phase; (3) high molecular ball chromatographic column; (4) polymer-coated chromatographic columns; and (5) a chromatographic column of a particulate porous carbon filler, wherein the chemically bonded stationary phase chromatographic column is further divided into a nonpolar bonded chromatographic column (octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is the most commonly used nonpolar reversed phase chromatographic column) and a polar bonded chromatographic column (commonly used amino column, cyano column, diol column, etc.). Alternatively, the chromatographic column may be classified into a silica gel packed chromatographic column, a polymer packed chromatographic column and other inorganic packed chromatographic columns according to the difference of the packing, wherein the silica gel packing is mainly based on silica gel, the surface of the silica gel packing can be bonded with various polar or weak polar functional groups (such as C18 (ODS), C8, C4, C6H5 or normal ethane, chlorine, methylene chloride, etc.), and the polymer packing is mainly polyethylene-divinylbenzene or polymethyl propionate, etc.; other inorganic fillers such as graphitized carbon fillers, alumina, zirconia, and the like. The term "octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles" as used herein is a high purity silica gel filler synthesized from two high purity monomers using inorganic, organic hybrid particle technology, which is mainly applied to the analysis of peptides and proteins. The invention relates to a chromatographic column adopting octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge impurity particles, belonging to a silica gel chromatographic column.
The term "external standard method" as used herein refers to a method of quantifying a pure product of a component to be measured against a control substance by comparing the response signals of the component to be measured in a sample, and can be classified into a standard curve method and an external standard one-point method. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the external standard method used in the examples of the present invention is specifically an external standard one-point method without adding correction factors. The external standard method can be specifically referred to the rule 0512 of the 2020 edition of Chinese pharmacopoeia.
The term "external standard one-point method without correction factor" as used herein means that when the correction factor of the test substance (specifically referred to as impurity I herein) is in the range of 0.9 to 1.1, it is considered that correction calculation is not necessary, that is, when the content of impurity I in the test substance solution is calculated using formoterol fumarate as a control substance, the peak area of impurity I is not necessary to be corrected, or the correction factor of impurity I is 1.0 by default, that is, the content of impurity I can be calculated from the peak area of formoterol fumarate in the control substance solution.
Determination of diastereoisomers in formoterol fumarate solution:
the invention aims at solving the problem of separation degree of formoterol and diastereoisomers in the detection of formoterol fumarate inhalation solution. The present invention has found that the inhalation solution of formoterol fumarate generates impurity I during storage, and as impurity I grows, a new unknown peak appears between the formoterol and the chromatographic peak of impurity I (as shown in fig. 4), so whether a method with excellent degree of separation can be provided is one of the keys for accurate quantitative determination of impurity I content.
Further, the invention also aims to solve the problem of sensitivity for diastereoisomeric detection in the inhalation solution detection of formoterol fumarate. The present invention has found that for small format formulation products such as formoterol fumarate inhalation solutions (2 ml:20 μg), it is desirable to provide a detection method with a sensitivity of at least 0.1% (i.e. 0.01 μg/ml, a requirement of a maximum dose per day of less than 1g for an impurity reporting limit of 0.1%). If the chromatographic methods currently used for detecting formoterol impurities, including pharmacopoeia methods, are used, the requirements cannot be met even if the sample injection amount is adjusted to a maximum of 100 μl.
In addition, the invention aims to solve the problems of short service life, poor reproducibility, low precision, poor tolerance and the like of a chromatographic column in the detection of formoterol fumarate inhalation solution. The present invention has found that if chromatographic columns commonly used in methods including pharmacopoeia methods (e.g., octadecyl bonded polyvinyl alcohol chromatographic columns) are used, these chromatographic columns have a short service life and poor tolerance, and it is difficult to satisfy the requirements for reproducibility and precision of results.
To this end, in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting diastereomers in a formoterol fumarate solution, comprising the step of determining the content of diastereomers in a formoterol fumarate solution by high performance liquid chromatography.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for quality control of a formoterol fumarate inhalation solution comprising the step of determining the content of diastereoisomers in said formoterol fumarate inhalation solution by high performance liquid chromatography.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a method for quality control of a process for producing formoterol fumarate inhalation solution, comprising the step of determining the presence of impurities in the formoterol fumarate inhalation solution prepared by said process using high performance liquid chromatography.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting the presence of an impurity in a formoterol fumarate inhalation solution comprising the step of determining the presence of an impurity in said formoterol fumarate inhalation solution by high performance liquid chromatography.
In some embodiments, the high performance liquid chromatography detection conditions include the use of octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as packing for the chromatographic column stationary phase.
In some embodiments, the chromatographic column employing octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as stationary phase packing is selected from one of the following: waters XBridge Peptide BEH 300AC18, YMC Triart C18, YMC Triart ExRs C18 and Phenomenex Titank C18. In some embodiments, the chromatographic column employing octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as stationary phase packing has a specification of 4.6x150 mm,3.5 μm, and the chromatographic column is selected from one of the following: waters XBridge Peptide BEH 300A C18, YMC Triart C18, YMC Triart ExRs C18 and Phenomenex Titank C18. In some embodiments, the chromatographic column using octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as stationary phase packing is Waters XBridge Peptide BEH AC18, 4.6x150 mm,3.5 μm in size.
The inventor proves through experiments that whether the testing method in the current pharmacopoeia (HPLC using octadecyl bonded polyvinyl alcohol chromatographic column) or the testing method of the bulk drug manufacturer (HPLC using octadecyl bonded polyvinyl alcohol chromatographic column) is adopted, when the formoterol fumarate solution is tested, the obtained chromatograms show that the main peak of the formoterol fumarate and the diastereoisomer impurity peak thereof cannot reach the baseline separation, and the accurate quantitative detection of the diastereoisomers in the formoterol fumarate solution cannot be realized.
The inventors speculate that the above methods are all methods for testing formoterol fumarate bulk drug and not for diastereoisomers in formoterol fumarate inhalation solutions. The different formoterol fumarate dosage forms have different diastereoisomers, and the requirements on detection limits and detection sensitivity are different. For example, the above methods are all methods for detecting diastereoisomers in formoterol fumarate, and the minimum injection concentration is 0.2 μg/ml. However, for small-sized formoterol fumarate inhalation solutions (e.g. 2ml: 20. Mu.g) products, the minimum sensitivity of 0.01. Mu.g/ml is required to be achieved for accurate determination of the impurity I content, and the two differ by a factor of 20, so that the sensitivity of the method cannot meet the requirement, and even if the sample injection amount is increased, the sensitivity requirement is only marginally met, but the separation degree cannot meet the requirement. For solutions formulated from formoterol fumarate dosage forms of different origin, it may also occur that the method applicable to the detection of one formoterol fumarate solution (e.g. formulated from an inhalant) is not applicable to another formoterol fumarate solution (e.g. formoterol fumarate inhalant solution, 2ml:20 μg), also because of the different requirements of detection limits, detection sensitivity.
The inventors have surprisingly found through experimentation that when octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles, which are commonly used in peptide and protein analysis, are employed as packing material for chromatographic column stationary phases, the HPLC method allows for the detection of diastereomers in formoterol fumarate solutions, and the detection results show that this method can achieve excellent separation, sensitivity and accuracy at the same time. The detection sensitivity (quantitative limit) of the method can reach 0.01% at the lowest and the detection limit can be as low as 0.00333%; and in most cases a degree of separation of greater than 5.0 can be achieved.
In some embodiments, the high performance liquid chromatography detection conditions comprise a high performance liquid chromatograph. In some embodiments, the high performance liquid chromatograph is selected from one of the following: agilent 1260 II, waters e2695, daian Ulitimate3000, shimadzu LC-2050C/2060C or any other type of chromatograph.
In some embodiments, the high performance liquid chromatography detection conditions include using a mixed solution of phosphate solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. In some embodiments, the phosphate solution has a pH of 10.0 to 12.5.

In some embodiments, the pH of the phosphate solution is selected from the range consisting of any two of the following values: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5. For example, the pH of the phosphate solution is selected from the range consisting of a value of 11.0 and a value of 12.0, i.e., the pH of the phosphate solution is 11.0 to 12.0. Experiments prove that the mobile phase with high pH value is more beneficial to separating formoterol from impurity I. Thus, in some embodiments, the pH of the phosphate solution is selected from 12.0.
In some embodiments, the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is from 90/10 to 75/25. In some embodiments, the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is selected from the following values: 90/10, 89/11, 88/12, 87/13, 86/14, 85/15, 84/16, 83/17, 82/18, 81/19, 80/20, 79/21, 78/22, 77/23, 76/24 and 75/25. In some embodiments, the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is selected from the range consisting of any two of the following values: 90/10, 89/11, 88/12, 87/13, 86/14, 85/15, 84/16, 83/17, 82/18, 81/19, 80/20, 79/21, 78/22, 77/23, 76/24 and 75/25. For example, the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is selected from the range consisting of the values 88/12 and 80/20, i.e., the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is 88/12 to 80/20. In some embodiments, the volume ratio (V/V) of the phosphate solution to the acetonitrile is 85/15.

In some embodiments, the phosphate solution is selected from one or more of the following: sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium phosphate, and hydrates thereof. In some embodiments, the phosphate solution is selected from the group consisting of potassium phosphate trihydrate.

Based on the above experiments, whether the test method in the current pharmacopoeia or the test method of the crude drug manufacturer shows that the main peak of formoterol and the diastereomer impurity peak thereof cannot reach the baseline separation, so that the detection of the diastereomers in the formoterol fumarate inhalation solution cannot be realized, and the detection requirement of the small-dose formoterol fumarate inhalation solution (such as the inhalation solution with the maximum daily intake (40 mug)) product cannot be met.
Example 2-detection of diastereomers in formoterol fumarate inhalation solutions by HPLC method based on octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as stationary phase
In order to develop a method for detecting formoterol fumarate inhalation solution products with high sensitivity and high separation degree, which can meet the maximum daily intake (40 mug), the experiment tests whether the HPLC method adopting octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as the chromatographic column stationary phase filling material can be used for detecting diastereoisomer (impurity I) in the formoterol fumarate inhalation solution.

According to the results, the chromatographic column using octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as a stationary phase can realize the effective separation of formoterol and impurity I in the sample injection amount range of 20-100 μl. In contrast, for detection methods employing octadecylsilane chemically bonded columns and octadecyl chemically bonded columns, effective separation of formoterol from impurity I could not be achieved in the same sample loading range of 20 μl or 50 μl; moreover, when the sample injection amount (100 μl) is increased, the separation of formoterol and impurity I still cannot be realized, and the requirements of detection on the separation degree and sensitivity cannot be met. The result shows that the method of the invention (the chromatographic column (Waters XBridge Peptide BEH 300A C18,4.6*150mm,3.5 μm) with the octadecyl bonded ethylene bridge hybrid particles as the stationary phase) has the advantages of high sensitivity and good separation degree under the condition of the same sample injection amount.
