PG - 22-29 LID - S0928-0987(16)30483-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejps.2016.11.004 [doi] AB - A simple, fast and sensitive analytical method by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ticagrelor and two synthesis impurities. The HPLC method was established using an Agilent 1200 Series equipment coupled to photodiode array detector (PDA) at 270nm with a Zorbax Plus C(8) column (150x4.6mm, 5.0mum), injection volume of 20muL, and a constant temperature of 25 degrees C. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: ammonium acetate 50mM (57:43, v/v) and pH adjusted to 8.2 with ammonium hydroxide 6M, at a flow rate of 0.7mL/min. No interference peaks from excipients and diluent system indicated the specificity of the method. The calibration curves showed determination coefficients (r(2))>0.99, calculated by linear regression. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for impurities 1 and 2 were 2.0 and 0.2mug/mL, respectively. Intra and interday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were <2% for ticagrelor and <6% for the impurities, proving the precision of the method. Besides, two mayor degradation products formed when sample solutions of ticagrelor were exposed to UVC radiation were elucidated and the mechanisms involved in the photolytic degradation of ticagrelor were proposed.
