ABSTRACT
To establish a method for the determination of polymer impurities in cefixime raw materials and preparations, a cefixime degradation solution containing polymer impurities was prepared by forced polymerization. Polymer impurities in the degradation solution were separated and identified by high performance gel chromatography and the column switching-LC-MSn method. A new RP-HPLC method for cefixime polymer was established and validated with a Phenomenex Gemini-C18 column using a mobile phase gradient elution of 0.5% formic acid-water solution and 0.5% formic acid-acetonitrile solution. The results showed that when using this high performance gel chromatography method some small molecular weight impurities were co-eluted with the polymers, resulting in a poor specificity and poor quantitative accuracy. But when using the RP-HPLC method, three polymer impurities were detected with good specificity, sensitivity and robustness, including two cefixime dimers, and dehydrate dimer. Therefore, the described RP-HPLC method is suitable for the quality control of polymer impurities in cefixime, and cefixime degradation solution can be used as suitable solution for analysis of cefixime polymers.
