Abstract: | Abstract Objective To establish a pre-column derivatization HPLC method for the determination of
hydrazine in amikacin sulfate and its preparations. Methods 5% benzaldehyde methanol solution was used as the
derivatization reagent. Agilent Zobax Eclipse XDB-C18 column (2.1 mm×150 mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile
phase A was 0.1% formic acid solution, the mobile phase B was acetonitrile, and linear gradient elution was carried
out according to the attached table. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. DAD UV detector was used, and the detection
wavelength was 300 nm. The column temperature was 25℃, and the injection volume was 20 μL. Results The
linear relationship of hydrazine was found in the concentration range of 0.5022~12.5543 μg/mL(r=0.9994). The
recovery values of amikacin sulfate, amikacin sulfate for injection, and amikacin sulfate injection were 94.8%, 94.1%,
and 94.3%, respectively. The content of hydrazine in amikacin sulfate, amikacin sulfate for injection, and amikacin
sulfate injection in domestic enterprises were undetected~1.8 μg/g, undetected~0.2 μg/g, and undetected~3.1 μg/g,
respectively. No hydrazine was detected in amikacin sulfate for injection and amikacin sulfate injection in nichiiko
pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. Conclusion The new precolumn derivatization HPLC method was accurate, simple, and
specific. It can be used to control the genotoxic impurity hydrazine in amikacin sulfate and its |
