Description
The present invention relates to an improved
reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method for the quantitative
determination of Linezolid. The present invention further provides a stability
indicating analytical method using the samples generated from forced
degradation studies.
Linezolid is chemically known as
N-[[(5S)-3-[3-Fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]
acetamide and marketed by Pfizer in US under brand name Zyvox. Linezolid is a
synthetic antibacterial agent of the oxazolidinone class. It is used for the
treatment of infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria including
streptococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.The
structural formula is as shown beloow.
The product mixture of a reaction rarely is a single
compound pure enough to comply with pharmaceutical standards. Side products and
byproducts of the reaction and adjunct reagents used in the reaction will, in
most cases, be present. At certain stages during processing of the Linezolid
contained in the product mixture into an active pharmaceutical ingredient
('API'), the Linezolid must be analyzed for purity, typically by HPLC or GC
analysis, to determine if it is suitable for continued processing or ultimately
for use in a pharmaceutical product.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) has promulgated guidelines recommending that
drug applicants identify organic impurities of 0.1% or greater in the active
ingredient. 'Guideline on Impurities in New Drug Substances,' 61 Fed. Reg. 371
(1996); 'Guidance for Industry ANDAs: Impurities in Drug Substances,' 64 Fed.
Reg. 67917 (1999). Unless an impurity has been tested for safety, is in a
composition proven to be safe in clinical trials, or is a human metabolite, the
CDER further recommends that the drug applicant reduce the amount of the
impurity in the active ingredient to below 0.1%. In order to obtain marketing
approval for a new drug product, manufacturers must submit to the regulatory
authority evidence that the product is acceptable for administration to humans.
Such a submission must include, among other things, analytical data showing the
impurity profile of the product to demonstrate that the impurities are either
absent, or present in a negligible amount. Therefore, there is a need for
analytical methods to detect impurities to identify and assay those
impurities.
Generally, impurities (side products, byproducts, and
adjunct reagents) are identified spectroscopically and by other physical
methods and then the impurities are associated with a peak position in a
chromatogram (or a spot on a TLC plate). Thereafter, the impurity can be
identified by its position in the chromatogram, which is conventionally
measured in minutes between injection of the sample on the column and elution
of the particular component through the detector, known as the 'retention time'
('Rt'). This time period varies daily based upon the condition of the
instrumentation and many other factors. To mitigate the effect that such
variations have upon accurate identification of an impurity, practitioners use
'relative retention time' ('RRt') to identify impurities.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a
reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method for the quantitative
determination of Linezolid.
In another aspect, the present invention provides an
HPLC method for Linezolid containing less than about 5% area by HPLC,
preferably less than about 3% area by HPLC, more preferably less than 1% area
by HPLC, of total impurities.
In another aspect, the present invention further
provides a stability indicating analytical method using the samples generated
from forced degradation studies.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides
a simple, accurate and well-defined stability indicating an Ultra performance
liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for the determination of Linezolid in the
presence of degradation products.
In one aspect, the UPLC method described in the
present invention has the following advantages when compared with prior art
methods for determining the Linezolid and its related impurities:
- All the impurities were well separated with a minimum resolution 6.0 (limit: Not less than 2.0);
- Gradient profile to elute all related impurities and organic phase is 80% which ensure the elution and detection of non polar impurities forming during the process or stress study;
- the present method mobile phase pH is about 4.5 which is more stable in all normal C18 columns;
- consistency in specificity, precision & reproducibility with good peak shape; and
- the degradation impurities from stress studies are well separated from the known impurities.

According to one aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method for
quantifying, by area percent, the amounts of Linezolid and all impurities,
preferably, imp-B, imp-C, imp-D, Imp-I and Imp-II present in a sample of
Linezolid.

generated from forced degradation studies.
According to another aspect of the present invention
, there is provided an accurate and well-defined stability indicating an HPLC
method for the determination of Linezolid in the presence of degradation
products.
Preferably, the method for determining the amount of
impurities in a Linezolid sample comprises the steps of:
- combining a Linezolid sample with a mixture of Water and acetonitrile in the ratio of 60:40 (v/v) to obtain a solution;
- injecting the sample solution into a 100mm×2.1mm column with 1.7μm Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column;

The buffer in step-(d) may be prepared by mixing
about 1L water with about 2.72 g potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate.
Preferably, the ratio of mobile phase buffer and
solvent in step-(d) may be continued at the same ratio for 2 minutes then

gradient of 80:20 is for 3.0 minutes to be conditioned for every analysis. The
column temperature may be maintained at about 400C.
The LOD /LOQ values of Linezolid e and its related
impurities, Imp-I, Imp-II, Imp-B, Imp-C and Imp-D are summarized in Table 1.

Specificity is the ability of the method to measure
the analyte response in the presence of its potential impurities and
degradation products. The specificity of the LC method for Linezolid
Intentional degradation was attempted to stress conditions of photolytic
degradation (as per ICH recommended condition), acid hydrolysis (using 1.0M
HCl), base hydrolysis (using 1M NaOH), and oxidative degradation (using 3.0%
H2O2) to evaluate the ability of the proposed method to
separate Linezolid from its degradation products. To check and ensure the
homogeneity and purity of Linezolid peak in the stressed sample solutions,
PDA-UV detector was employed. Assessment of mass balance in the degraded
samples was checked by comparing with control standard sample using PDA
detector. Related substances studies were carried out on the stressed samples
against Linezolid standard sample and the mass balance (Area of the Linezolid +
sum of the area of all impurities + sum of area all degradants) was
tabulated.
Preferably, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of
quantification (LOQ) were estimated to be 0.0056 % and 0.0169 % for imp-D,
0.0059 % and 0.0180 for imp-B, 0.0045 % and 0.0139 % for Linezolid , 0.0055 %,
0.0169 %l for imp-II,0.0031 % ,0.0095% and 0.0054%,0.0165% for Imp-C were
estimated at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 and 10:1 by LOQ precision,
respectively by injecting a series of diluted solutions with known
concentration.
The accuracy of the related substances method with
the spiked impurities was evaluated in duplicate at four different
concentration levels, i.e. LOQ (0.0171% for imp-D, 0.0173 % for imp-B ,0.0167%
for Imp-II,0.0096% for Imp-I and 0.0165 for imp-C), 50 % level (0.074% for
imp-D, 0.075 % for imp-B ,0.075% for Imp-II,0.076% for Imp-I and 0.074 for
imp-C), 100% level (0.149% for imp-D, 0.151 % for imp-B ,0.152% for
Imp-II,0.152% for Imp-I and 0.149 for imp-C) and 150% level (0.224% for imp-D,
0.227 % for imp-B ,0.228% for Imp-II,0.229 % for Imp-I and 0.225 for imp-C).
100% level (1.988µg/ml for imp-2, 2.008µg/ml for imp-1 and 2.002µg/mL for
imp-3) and 50 % level in bulk drug sample. The % recoveries for Imp-1, Imp-2
and Imp-3 were calculated from the standard solution.
According to another aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a chromatographic method to get the separation of all
impurities and stress studies degradants from analyte peak. Satisfactory
chromatographic separation was achieved using the mobile phase consists of
phosphate buffer (2.72 g potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate in 1000ml of HPLC
water, and solvent methanol.
In the optimized conditions the Linezolid , Imp-I,
Imp-II , Imp-B, Imp-C and Imp-D were well separated with a resolution of
greater than 6 and the typical retention times (RT) of Imp-D, Imp-B , Linezolid
, Imp-II,Imp-I and Imp-C were about 2.04, 4.04, 5.99 , 6.81,9.800 and 10.27
minutes, and typically shown in Figure 1. The system suitability results and
the developed LC method were found to be specific for Linezolid and its five
impurities, namely Imp-1, Imp-2 and Imp-3.
The system suitability values and mass numbers of
Linezolid and its impurities were summarized in Table 2.
*n=1: determination, Rt: retention time, Rs: USP resolution, N:
number of theoretical plates (USP tangent method), T: USP tailing factor, m/z:
mass number.
Compound (n=1) | Rt | Rs | N | T | (m/z) |
Imp-D | 2.046 | 5652 | 1.31 | 295.30 | |
Imp-B | 4.040 | 16.40 | 15146 | 1.12 | 319.35 |
Linezolid | 5.991 | 14.53 | 32559 | 1.14 | 337.35 |

Imp-C | 10.275 | 12.42 | 1184484 | 1.15 | 615.62 |
No considerable degradation observed in Linezolid
bulk samples, under stress conditions such as photolytic stress and thermal
stress,. Some level of degradation in test solution was achieved using 3%
hydrogen peroxide at RT for 24 hours, 1M sodium hydroxide at RT for 10 minutes
and 1M HCL at 60°C for 4 hours . Impurities observed in stress condition using
PDA detector, typically shown in Figure. 2. The peak test results obtained from
PDA & LC-MS/MS confirm that the Linezolid peak is homogeneous and pure in
all analyzed stress samples. The mass balance of stressed samples was close to
98.0% indicates that no co-eluting impurities in the main peak. The mass
balance of Linezolid is unaffected in the presence of Imp-B, Imp-C, Imp-D,

Experimental
The LC system, used for method development and forced
degradation studies and method validation was Waters-Acquity (manufactured by
Waters India Ltd) LC system with a photo diode detector. The out put signal was
monitored and processed using Empower 2 software system (designed by Waters
India) on IBM computer (Digital Equipment Co).
The chromatographic column used was a Waters Acquity
BEH C18 100mm ×2.1 mm column with 1.7 μm particles. The mobile phase consists
of 0.02M potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate buffer (2.72g of potassium
dihydrogen ortho phosphate in 1000ml of HPLC water), and solvent is methanol.
The flow rate of the mobile phase was kept at 0.3 ml/min.Beginning with the
gradient ratio of mobile phase buffer and solvent 75:25(v/v), system was
continued at the same ratio for 2 minutes. The ratio was changed linearly
65:35(v/v) within 6 minutes and again the ratio was changed linearly 20:80(v/v)
within 1.5 minutes the system was continued at the same ratio for 5.5 minutes.
After 0.5 minutes the initial gradient of 75:25 is for 3 minutes to be
conditioned for every analysis. The column temperature was maintained at
400C and the wavelength was monitored at a wavelength of 250 nm. The
injection volume was 2 μL for related substances and assay determination.
Mixture of Water and acetonitrile in the ratio of 50:50 (v/v) was used as
diluent during the standard and test samples preparation.
Preparation of reference solution:
7.5 mg of each Imp-B,Imp-C,Imp-D,Imp-I,Imp-II and
Linezolid were accurately weighed and transferred to the 100mL volumetric
flask(BOROSIL-Class-A) , separately; 20ml of diluent was added in to the flask
and shaken for five minutes in an ultrasonic bath and made up to mark with
diluent. Pipette out 1.0mL from solution and transferred in to a 100mL
volumetric flask (BOROSIL-Class-A), and made up to mark with diluent.
A working solution of 500μg/ml was prepared for
related substances determination analysis.
