Single-run reversed-phase HPLC method for determining sertraline content, enantiomeric purity, and related substances in drug substance and finished product

ABSTRACT: A direct enantio-, diastereo-, and chemo-selective high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determining the content, enantiomeric purity, and related substances of the chiral antidepressant drug sertraline HCl in a single chromatographic run. The separation was achieved on a chiral stationary phase based on amylose tris(3-chloro-5-methylphenylcarbamate) under reversed-phase conditions. The method was optimized by evaluating the influence of the temperature and mobile phase composition on the retention and selectivity. The application of the single-run approach allowed to baseline resolve all investigated species in less than 15 min, without using buffers or tandem-coupled columns. The chromatographic method was validated according to the guidelines of the Official Medicines Control Laboratory and applied to control the content of sertraline HCl and related chiral substances in a generic antidepressant formulation. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Sertraline displays two stereogenic centers but only the (1S,4S) form is clinically useful.• A direct method was developed for evaluating assay and impurities in a single HPLC run.• The single-run RP method allowed resolving all species within 15 min, without using buffers.• Amylose tris(3-chloro-5-methylphenylcarbamate)-based CSP was used as a chiral support.• The method is selective, precise and accurate and it meets the requirements of the EP guidelines.

Project description:A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the potential impurities of dexketoprofen, including the distomer R-ketoprofen. After screening the separation capability of four polysaccharide columns (Lux Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2, Lux Cellulose-1 and Lux Cellulose-2) in polar organic and in reversed-phase modes, appropriate enantioseparation was observed only on the Lux Amylose-2 column in an acidified acetonitrile/water mixture. A detailed investigation of the mobile phase composition and temperature for enantio- and chemoselectivity showed many unexpected observations. It was observed that both the resolution and the enantiomer elution order can be fine-tuned by varying the temperature and mobile phase composition. Moreover, hysteresis of the retention times and enantioselectivity was also observed in reversed-phase mode using methanol/water mixtures on amylose-type columns. This could indicate that the three-dimensional structure of the amylose column can change by transitioning from a polar organic to a reversed-phase mode, which affects the enantioseparation process. Temperature-dependent enantiomer elution order and rare enthalpic/entropic controlled enantioseparation in the operative temperature range were also observed in reversed-phase mode. To find the best methodological conditions for the determination of dexketoprofen impurities, a full factorial optimization design was performed. Using the optimized parameters (Lux Amylose-2 column with water/acetonitrile/acetic acid 50/50/0.1 (v/v/v) at a 1 mL/min flow rate at 20 °C), baseline separations were achieved between all compounds within 15 min. Our newly developed HPLC method was validated according to the current guidelines, and its application was tested on commercially available pharmaceutical formulations. According to the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to report hysteretic behavior on polysaccharide columns in reversed-phase mode.
