Determination of Acetone Residues in Azithromycin by Capillary Gas Chromatography

It is necessary to select a suitable solvent to completely dissolve the sample to be tested. Azithromycin is almost insoluble in water to ensure complete release of residual acetone in the sample. Soluble in methanol, absolute ethanol, dilute hydrochloric acid. In this experiment, the headspace method was used, and the temperature of the sample was measured at 80 °C for 45 minutes with water as the solvent. The sample of the sample in the sample was determined by n=6 batch number. The result was significantly lower, indicating that the sample was hot. The solubility in water is also extremely small and cannot be determined by using water as a solvent. The solvent specified in the Pharmacopoeia is benzene, benzene is a carcinogenic organic solvent, and should be prevented as much as possible; using methanol or absolute ethanol as solvent, the peak time is higher than the acetone to be tested. Early and too close to the acetone peak, it will interfere with the detection of acetone and will not be considered; the use of dilute hydrochloric acid will affect the service life of the capillary column, and it will not be used. According to the ICH guidelines and literature on solvent residues in pharmaceuticals, this paper The choice of DMF as a solvent has a satisfactory result. The test is also applicable to the examination of residual acetone in the DMF antibiotic bulk drug which is insoluble in water, provided that the raw material has used acetone as an extraction solvent in the refining process.

Acetone may remain in the preparation process, and azithromycin is a new generation of macrolide antibiotics. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2000 edition stipulates that azithromycin should be tested for residual acetone. The Pharmacopoeia stipulates that benzene is used as a solvent, but benzene is a type of solvent specified by ICH. It is highly toxic and carcinogenic and should be prevented from being used. In this paper, capillary gas chromatography, hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID with NN dimethylformamide (DMF as solvent, elastic quartz capillary column DB62430m053mm3μm for the determination of the residual amount of acetone), the results indicate that the method is simple, Sensitive, exclusive, accurate, and low toxicity, it can completely replace the 2000 version of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia for the determination of acetone residues in azithromycin.
