| Abstract | N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has been detected in some drug substances and pharmaceutical products containing sartans, ranitidine and metformin, and a potential risk of NDMA contamination exists in other drug substances and their pharmaceutical products. To quantitate NDMA in various drugs having diverse physicochemical properties, a specific, sensitive, and reliable analytical method is required, in addition to methods that can be applied to a class of nitrosamines. We aimed to develop an off-line isolation method for NDMA in drug substances using SPE for quantification with LC-APCI-MS/MS. Impediments to accurate quantitation of NDMA in drug substances using LC-MS/MS and insufficient durability of the system are attributed to the extremely large amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in sample solutions in comparison to the trace amount of NDMA. A reduced retention of NDMA and/or decreased separation from other substances in LC, matrix effect in MS detection, and undesirable contamination of instruments with API and other substances may be occasionally encountered, all of which consequently result in deterioration of system performance and generation of unreliable data, even in the cases where a divert valve is configured between the column and ion source of the MS instrument. To address these problems, an off-line NDMA isolation methodology from APIs exhibiting diverse physicochemical properties, namely ranitidine hydrochloride (ranitidine), metformin hydrochloride (metformin), nizatidine, valsartan, and telmisartan, was developed. The applicability of the method was confirmed by batch analysis of metformin and ranitidine. Furthermore, contrary to previous reports, NDMA was found to be stable over a wide pH range. The proposed methodology and data from this study would contribute to the control of NDMA contamination in various drugs to realize the safe delivery of pharmaceuticals to patients. |
