  • (LC-MS/MS) Method for the Determination of NDMA in Ranitidine Drug Substance and Solid Dosage Drug Product
    10/17/2019 Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) Method for the Determination of NDMA in Ranitidine Drug Substance and Solid Dosage Drug Product Background: Ranitidine is a prescription and over-the-counter drug used to treat acid reflux. The drug is a histamine-2 receptor antagonist (acid inhibitor or H2 blocker). Some of the common H2 receptor blockers include: Ranitidine (Zantac), Nizatidine (Axid), Famotidine (Pepcid, Pepcid AC) and Cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB). Ranitidine medicine was suspected of being contaminated with N-nitroso-di-methylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, following notification in June 2019. Accordingly, a liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method was developed and validated by the Agency to determine the level of NDMA in ranitidine drug products and drug substances. This method is a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of NDMA in ranitidine drug substance and drug product. This LC-MS method based on a QQQ platform may be used as an alternative or confirmatory method for the liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method detailed in FY19-177- DPA-S. The QQQ platform is more widely available than the LC-HRMS platform previously shared by the agency. Conclusions: An LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated following ICH Q2 (R1) for the detection and quantitation of NDMA in Ranitidine drug substance and drug product. The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ) and range of the method are summarized below: NDMA LOD (ng/mL) 0.3 (ppm) 0.01 LOQ (ng/mL) 1.0 (ppm) 0.033 Range (ng/mL) 1.0 - 100 (ppm) 0.033 – 3.33 Page 1 of 7 10/17/2019 LC-MS/MS Method for the Determination of NDMA impurity in Ranitidine Drug Substance or Solid Dosage Drug Product Purpose This method is used to quantitate N-nitroso-di-methylamine (NDMA) impurity in ranitidine drug substance or solid dosage drug product.

Fragmentation of odd electron ions (OE+) generated by electron ionization (EI) was extensively studied in the last few decades, however there are only a few systematic reviews available concerning the fragmentation of even-electron ions (EE+/EE−) produced by the currently most common ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). This review summarizes the most important features of tandem mass spectra generated by collision-induced dissociation fragmentation and presents didactic examples for the unexperienced users. Keywords: tandem mass spectrometry; MS/MS fragmentation; collision-induced dissociation; CID; ESI; structure elucidation 1. Introduction Electron ionization (EI), a hard ionization technique, is the method of choice for analyses of small (<1000 Da), nonpolar, volatile compounds. As its name implies, the technique involves ionization by electrons with ~70 eV energy. This energy is high enough to yield very reproducible mass spectra with a large number of fragments. However, these spectra frequently lack the radical type molecular ions (M+) due to the high internal energy transferred to the precursors [1].

Rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based method for the analysis of alcohol ethoxylates and alkylphenol ethoxylates in environmental samples. Journal of Chromatography A, Aug 30; 1305: 154-63 (2013). Abstract A sensitive and selective method for the determination of alcohol ethoxylates (AEOs) and alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and LC-MS/MS was developed and applied to the analysis of water samples. All AEO and APEO homologues, a total of 152 analytes, were analyzed within a run time of 11 min, and the MS allowed for the detection of ethoxymers containing 2- 20 ethoxy units (nEO = 2-20). The limits of detection (LOD) were as low as 0.1 pg injected, which generally increased as nEO increased. Additionally, the responses of the various ethoxymers varied by orders of magnitude, with ethoxymers with nEO = 3-5 being the most sensitive and those with nEO > 15 producing the least response in the MS. Absolute extraction recoveries of the analytes ranged from 37% to 69%, with the recovery depending on the length of the alkyl chain.

In the proposed GC-HRMS/MS approach, direct chemical composition analysis is made for the precursor ions in high resolution MS spectra and the structural identifications were made through the database search of high quality MS/MS spectra. Successful analysis of a complex perfume sample was demonstrated and compared with GC-EI-Q and GC-EI-TOF. The current approach is complementary to conventional GC-EI- MS analysis and can identify low abundance co-eluting compounds.

  • Pahs), Polycyclic Aromatic Sulfur Heterocycles (Pashs
    916 Quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs), and Alkylated Derivatives by Gas Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) to Qualify a Reference Oil Rami Kanan (1,2*), Jan T. Andersson, (3) Justine Receveur (1), Julien Guyomarch (1), Stéphane Le Floch (1) and Hélène Budzinski (2) (1) Cedre-Brest Cedex2, France (2) University of Bordeaux 1-EPOC-LPTC-Talence Cedex, France (3) Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Münster, Corrensstrasse Müenster, Germany [email protected] Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic compounds listed as priority pollutants by international environmental protection agencies due to their carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic effects. Several studies have indicated that some polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) are also carcinogenic and/or mutagenic. Gas chromatography- tandem-mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) has been used in the analysis of PAHs in complex matrices. However, no GC-MS-MS studies have focused on the determination of PAHs and PASHs. Moreover, previous MS-MS studies were not targeted toward alkylated derivatives, which are significant contributors in the composition of crude oils. In the present work, a simple methodology has been developed for the analysis of PAHs, PASHs and alkylated derivatives in the Erika fuel oil using solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled to gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS). The LOD and LOQ of the method range between 0.01 and 0.1 ng/mL and between 0.1 and 0.5 ng/mL, respectively. The calibration curves showed a good linearity for most of the compounds. 1 Introduction Each case of spill entails a series of questions as regards the potential toxicity of the oil, and generally preliminary information is provided by the quantification of the 16 PAHs of the US EPA list.
