Background
Tiotropium bromide (Tiotropium bromide, 1) having the chemical name (1α,2β,4β,5α,7β) -7- [ (hydroxy-2-thiopheneacetyl) oxy]-9, 9-dimethyl-3-oxa-9-azoxyion tricyclo [3.3.1.0 2,4 ]Nonane bromide, developed by the company Boringer John, is sold with the company of pyroxene, and was first marketed in the Netherlands and Philippines at month 6 of 2002.
Comparative document 1, square-tube et al (pharmaceutical and clinical study, 002 th 2007, 124-126) describes the following HPLC method for determining tiotropium bromide content and related substances: chromatographic column: octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is used as a stationary phase, and Diamond C18 (250 mm. Times.4.6 mm,5 μm) is used as a catalyst; mobile phase: methanol-phosphate buffer (2.72 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1000mL of water are added for dissolution, 10mL of triethylamine is added, the pH value is adjusted to 6.0 by phosphoric acid, and 0.21g of sodium octyl sulfate is added) (57:43); the detection wavelength is 237nm; the flow rate is 1mLmin-1; the sample injection amount was 20. Mu.L. Under the chromatographic conditions, the theoretical plate number is more than 3000, the separation can be realized by baseline from the peak-to-average of each impurity, and the separation degree is more than 1.5.
Comparative document 2 monday lovely et al report (journal of the chinese medical industry, 2015, 46 (12), 1327-132:9) the following HPLC methods for determining tiotropium bromide content and related substances: column Diam onsil-C18 column (4.6m m x 150m m,5um); mobile phase 0.03mol/L sodium octane sulfonate solution (containing 0.5% triethylamine, pH 3.3 with phosphoric acid): methanol: acetonitrile (50:20:30); the flow rate is 1.0m l/min; column temperature 40 ℃; the detection wavelength is 238nm; the sample injection amount is 15ul.
In addition, we know the detection method of control method 3: chromatographic column: column chromatography with octyl silane bonded silica gel as filler (LiChrospher 60RP Select B,125 ×4mm,5.0 μm); mobile phase: 0.18% sodium heptanesulfonate solution (1.64 g sodium heptanesulfonate, 1000ml water was added to dissolve, pH was adjusted to 3.0 with phosphoric acid): acetonitrile (700:300). Detection wavelength: 240nm, column temperature: 25 ℃, flow rate: 2.0ml/min, sample injection amount: 100 μl.
The method uses the sodium octane sulfonate which is an ion pair reagent and can improve the retention and peak shape of a substance to be detected, the retention time can be changed after replacement, and the retention and peak shape can be influenced by the selection of the concentration of the ion pair reagent. Of course, similar ion pair reagents are trifluoroacetic acid, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium bromide, sodium pentanesulfonate, sodium hexanesulfonate, sodium heptanesulfonate, and the like.
The method in reference 2 also adopts a Diode Array Detector (DAD), and compared with the ultraviolet detector conventionally used at present, the method has higher cost, lower popularity of manufacturers and is not beneficial to popularization of the method.
However, there are some problems in using ion-pair reagents, such as irreversible adsorption caused by combination of ion-pair reagents and stationary phase, difficulty in washing, increased dead volume of the column, advanced retention time, reduced theoretical plates, and poor separation. The adsorption process is irreversible, and even if the chromatographic column is washed sufficiently, the performance of the chromatographic column can be partially recovered, and the scrapping time of the chromatographic column is delayed. Meanwhile, the balance time of the ion pair reagent between the mobile phase and the chromatographic column is long, so that the working efficiency is reduced.
In view of this, the present invention has been made.
