Identification of impurities in nafamostat mesylate using HPLC-IT-TOF/MS: A series of double-charged ions.

ABSTRACT: Nafamostat mesylate is a serine protease inhibitor used in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. The impurities in nafamostat mesylate, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), were profiled via high performance liquid chromatography tandem ion trap coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HPLC-IT-TOF/MS). The chromatography was performed on an ACE-3 C18 column (200 mm × 4.6 mm, 3 ?m) using methanol and 0.1% formic acid in purified water as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The ions were detected by IT-TOF/MS with a full-scan mass analysis from m/z 100 to 800. In total, eleven impurities were detected in nafamostat mesylate API. The impurity profile was estimated based on the HPLC-IT-TOF/MS data, including accurate masses, MSn fingerprints of fragmentation pathways and a series of double-charged ions. Finally, seven impurities were identified and reported for the first time. The results will provide technical support for the quality control and clinical safety of nafamostat mesylate.

Project description:BackgroundPiperaquine, 1,3-bis-[4-(7-chloroquinolyl-4)-piperazinyl-1]-propane, is an anti-malarial compound belonging to the 4-aminoquinolines, which has received renewed interest in treatment of drug resistant falciparum malaria in artemisinin-based combination therapy with dihydroartemisinin. The impurity profile of this drug product is paid an ever-increasing attention. However, there were few published studies of the complete characterization of related products or impurities in piperaquine phosphate bulk and forced degradation samples.MethodsThe impurities in piperaquine phosphate bulk drug substance were detected by a newly developed gradient phase HPLC method and identified by TOF-MS and ESI-MS. The structures of impurities were confirmed by NMR. Forced degradation studies were also performed for the stability of piperaquine phosphate bulk drug samples and the specificity of the newly developed HPLC method. In silico toxicological predictions for these piperaquine phosphate related impurities were made by Toxtree® and Derek®.ResultsTwelve impurities (imp-1-12) were detected and identified, of which eight impurities (imp-1, 2, 4, 6-10) were first proposed as new related substances. Based on TOF-MS/ESI-MS and NMR analysis, the structures of imp-2, 6 and 12 were characterized by their synthesis and preparation. The possible mechanisms for the formation of impurities were also discussed. These piperaquine phosphate related impurities were predicted to have a toxicity risk by Toxtree® and Derek®.ConclusionsFrom forced degradation and bulk samples of piperaquine phosphate, twelve compounds were detected and identified to be piperaquine phosphate related impurities. Two of the new piperaquine phosphate related substances, imp-2 and imp-6, were identified and characterized as 4-hydroxy-7-chloro-quinoline and a piperaquine oxygenate with a piperazine ring of nitrogen oxide in bulk drug and oxidation sample, respectively. The MS data of imp-1, 2, 4, 6-10 were first reported. The in-silico toxicological prediction showed a toxicity risk for piperaquine related impurities by Toxtree® and Derek®.
