Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish UPLC for the determination of related substances of cefmenoxime hydrochloride drug substance and injection.
METHODS The column was Zorbax XDB C
18(2.1 mm×100 mm, 3μm). The mobile phase consisted of water-acetic acid-acetonitrile(85:1.7:15)(A) and water-acetic acid-acetonitrile(50:1.7:50)(B) with gradient program. The column temperature was 30℃. The flow rate was 0.6 mL·min
-1 and the detection wavelength was 254 nm.
RESULTS Cefmenoxime hydrochloride could be completely separated from its intermediates and by-products. The RSD of related substances precision was 2.5%, the detection limit was 0.001-0.08 μg·mL
-1.
CONCLUTION The method is rapid, simple, sensitive, reproducible and better than the current standard method.
