Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a GC-MS/MS analytical method for the determination of 1-chloroethyl cyclohexyl carbonate in candesartan cilexetil tablets.
METHODS The analytical column was DB-5MS(30 m×0.25 mm, 0.25 μm). The column temperature was maintained at 80 ℃, then was raised to 300 ℃ at the rate of 20 ℃·min–1 and was maintained for 5 min. Helium was used as carrier gas, and its flow rate was 1.0 mL·min–1. The detection was achieved in multiple reaction monitoring mode.
RESULTS The calibration curve of 1-chloroethyl cyclohexyl carbonate had good linearity in the concentration range of 4.4−437.8 ng·mL–1. The limits of quantification and detection were 4.4 and 2.2 ng·mL–1, respectively. The average recovery was 95.6%(RSD=6.3%, n=9).
CONCLUSION This method has satisfactory convenience, good sensitivity and high accuracy, and it is suitable for the determination of 1-chloroethyl cyclohexyl carbonate in candesartan cilexetil tablets.
