ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the identification of impurities in succinylcholine chloride raw material. METHODS:Two-dimensional UPLC-QTOF-MS was adopted. One dimension chromatographic condition was Hypersil GOLD C18 column using buffer solution(22 mmol/L sodium pentanesulfonate+50 mmol/L sodium chloride+5 mmol/L sulphuric acid)as mobile phase A and acetonitrile as mobile phase B,volume ratio of mobile phase A to mobile phase B 955,column temperature of 40 ℃,flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,detection wavelength of 214 nm. Two-dimension chromatographic condition was ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18column using 0.1% ammonia as mobile phase A and acetonitrile as mobile phase B(gradient elution)with column temperature of 30 ℃ at flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Ionization mode was ESI+ with capillary voltage of 2.5 kV,source temperature of 120 ℃,temperature of atomizing gas at 450 ℃,flow rate of atomizing gas at 900 L/h,acquisition mode of MSE. RESULTS:The succinic acid,succinyl chloride(intermediate),pyridine(reagent)and other impurities were detected in succinylcholine chloride by one dimensional method of HPLC. Other 4 obvious unknown impurities were named impurity 1,impurity 2,impurity 3 and impurity 4,among which the apparent content of impurity 2 was the highest. Two-dimensional method of HPLC-QTOF-MS deduced that the impurity 2 was dehydrogenate succinylcholine chloride and impurity 4 was succinylcholine chloride. The impurity 1 and impurity 3 were not detected in mass spectrum. CONCLUSIONS:Establish method for the identification of impurity in succinylcholine chloride raw material,and the results of research are used for the evaluation of the quality of the succinylcholine chloride raw material.
