Title:
Analytical method advances in measuring nitrite in pharmaceutical excipients
Abstract:
Regulatory authorities, like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have set maximum daily intake levels for N-nitrosamines in finished drug products. In an acidic environment, nitrite is a potential precursor for the formation of N-nitrosamines when secondary or tertiary amines are also present in the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis or formulated drug product. An accurate and sensitive determination of nitrite will be useful when a drug product manufacturer chooses to investigate the reaction kinetics between nitrite and amines or to select appropriate excipients for its drug formulation. Pharmaceutical excipient manufacturers may also benefit from an accurate nitrite measurement to investigate the nitrite content in their excipients. In this talk, we will give an overview on a variety of nitrite testing methods for analysis in excipients. We will discuss in detail an ion chromatography mass spectrometry (IC-MS) method for trace nitrite determination in microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). MS operated under selected ion monitoring mode was used to solve the commonly encountered interference issue with conductivity detection. Nitrite isotope internal standard was employed to address the ion suppression with MS detection. The optimized method was successfully validated with excellent linearity, precision, and recovery. Technical tips and tricks for operating IC-MS system will also be provided. Furthermore, we will share the learnings on developing a more advanced technology - two-dimensional ion chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (2D-ICMS), for nitrite quantitation at parts per trillion level in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) solution.
