In food and pharmaceutical analysis, the classical indices peroxide value (PV), acid value (AV) and p-anisidine value (ANV) still play an important role as quality and authenticity control parameters of fats and oils. These indices are sum parameters for certain deterioration products (PV for hydroperoxides, AV for free fatty acids, ANV for aldehydes) and are obtained using volumetric or UV/VIS spectroscopic analytical approaches. 1H NMR spectroscopy provides a fast and simple alternative to these classical approaches. In the present work, novel 1H NMR methods to determine hydroperoxides, free fatty acids and aldehydes in fats and oils were developed.
Hydroperoxides:
The influence of solvent, water, free fatty acids and sample weight on the hydroperoxide group proton (OOH) signal was investigated. On the basis of the obtained results, the sample preparation procedure of the new 1H NMR method was established. A rough assignment of the hydroperoxide group signals in edible fats and oils to methyl oleate, methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate was conducted. Furthermore, to gain information on how many different hydroperoxide species originate from trioleate autoxidation, a kinetic study on trioleate monohydroperoxides was performed. The evaluation of the data strongly indicates that all of the conceivable 18 trioleate monohydroperoxides were formed during trioleate autoxidation. The analytical performance of the NMR method was compared to that of the classical PV approach by means of the so-called “relative sensitivity” according to Mandel. It was shown that both methods exhibit a similar analytical performance. A total of 444 edible oil samples were analysed using both methods. For some oil varieties considerable discrepancies were found between the results. In the case of black seed oil and olive oil two substances were identified that influence the classical PV determination and thus cause positive (black seed oil) and negative (olive oil) deviations from the theoretical PV expected from the NMR values.
Free fatty acids:
In order to find the optimal solvent mixture to measure the carboxyl group protons (COOH) of free fatty acids in fats and oils, the effect of solvent on the COOH signal was investigated for different mixtures of CDCl3 and DMSO-d6. The comparison of the NMR method with the classical AV method by means of the relative sensitivity revealed that both methods exhibit a similar analytical performance. 420 edible oil samples were analysed by both approaches. Except for pumpkin seed oil, where slight deviations were observed, there was a good compliance between the results obtained from the two methods. Furthermore, the applicability of the 1H NMR assay to further lipids with relevance in pharmacy was tested. For hard fat, castor oil, waxes and oleyl oleate modifications of the original sample preparation procedure of the NMR method were necessary to achieve comparable results for both methods.
Aldehydes:
The new 1H NMR method enables the determination of the molar amounts of n-alkanals, (E)-2-alkenals and (E,E)-2,4-alkadienals. It was illustrated that the ANV can be modelled as a linear combination of the NMR integrals of these aldehyde species. A functional relationship was derived on the basis In conclusion, the new 1H NMR methods provide an excellent alternative to of calibration experiments. The suitability of the model was shown by comparing the NMR-determined ANVs with the measured classical ANVs of 79 commercially available edible oils of different oil types.
In conclusion, the new 1H NMR methods provide an excellent alternative to the determination of the classical indices PV, AV and ANV. They have several advantages over the classical methods including the consumption of small solvent amounts, the ability to automatize measurement and to acquire several different parameters out of the same NMR spectrum. Especially concerning their selectivity, the 1H NMR methods are highly superior to the classical methods.
A closer look at long-established drugs: enantioselective protein binding and stability studies
(2023)
The aim of this work was to investigate older, established drugs. The extent of the protein binding of chiral ephedra alkaloids to AGP and of ketamine to albumin was determined. Since enantiomers of these drugs are individual available, the focus was on possible enantioselective binding and structural moieties involved in the binding.
Previously published work suggested that ephedrine and pseudoephedrine can bind stereoselectively to proteins other than albumin in serum. For the determination of the extent of protein binding, the established ultrafiltration with subsequent chiral CE analysis was used. To determine the influence of basicity on binding, the drugs methylephedrine and norephedrine were also analyzed. Drug binding to AGP increased with increasing basicity as follows: norephedrine < methylephedrine < ephedrine < pseudoephedrine. pKaff was determined both graphically using the Klotz plot and mathematical indicating a low affinity of the ephedra alkaloids to AGP. Using STD-NMR spectroscopy experiments the aromatic protons and the C-CH3 side chain were shown to be most strongly involved in binding, which could be confirmed by molecular docking experiments in more detail. For all drugs, van der Waals-, π π , cationic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and a formation of a salt bridge were observed. The individual enantiomers showed no significant differences and thus the binding of ephedra alkaloids to AGP is not significant.
In contrast to the ephedra alkaloids, the possible enantioselective binding to albumin was investigated for R and S ketamine. Again, ultrafiltration followed by CE analysis was performed. The binding of ketamine to one main binding site could be identified. A non-linear fit was used for the determination of pKaff. Using the NMR methods STD-NMR, waterLOGSY-NMR, and CPMG-NMRspectroscopy: the aromatic protons as well as the protons of the NCH3 methyl group showed the largest signal intensity changes, while the cyclohexanone protons showed the smallest changes. pKaff was also determined by the change in the chemical shift at different drug-protein ratios. These obtained values confirm the values obtained from ultrafiltration. Based on this, ketamine is classified as a low-affinity ligand to albumin. There were no significant differences between the individual enantiomers and thus the binding of ketamine to albumin is not a stereoselective process.
Using statistical design of experiments an efficient chiral CE method for determining the extent of protein binding of R and S ketamine to albumin was developed and validated according to ICH Q2 (R1) guideline.
The stability of ketamine was also investigated because a yellowish discoloration of an aqueous solution of ketamine developed under heat. XRPD investigations showed the same crystal structure for all batches examined. An untargeted screening using LC HRMS as well as LC UV measurements showed no degradation of ketamine or the presence of impurities in stress and non-stressed ketamine solutions, confirming the stability of ketamine under the stress conditions investigated. The lower the quality of the water used in the stress tests, the more intense the yellow discoloration occurred. The impurity or the mechanism that causes the yellow discoloration could not be identified.
Priority tasks of the present thesis were to generate various enantiopure C-3-substituted pyroglutamates as well as C-3-substituted glutamates, and furthermore to ameliorate the serious drawback of the bad atom-economy in the reaction sequence of previously published silylether-mediated procedures. To meet these requirements, the ortho ester functionality (OBO ester) developed by Corey was introduced. According to the plan of synthesis, the starting material, non-racemic (S)-pyroglutamic acid, was converted to the corresponding oxetane ester via a DCC-mediated esterification. The latter was N-protected to provide N-acceptor substituted pyroglutamic acid oxetane esters (Acceptor=Boc,Cbz,CO2Me). After rearrangement with boron trifluoride, the ortho ester derivatives (Acceptor=Cbz,CO2Me) were at hand and exclusively the N-Cbz derivative was converted to the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated lactam via a syn-elimination reaction. The formation of the C-3-substituted ortho ester compounds (R=methyl,ethyl,butyl,allyl,phenyl,4-chlorophenyl,biphenyl,naphthyl) was performed via a copper-mediated conjugate addition to the alpha,beta-enone system of the N-Cbz-alpha,beta-unsaturated lactam. The OBO functionality hence was envisaged to support perfect trans selectivity in this cuprate addition to the Michael system of the N-Cbz-alpha,beta-unsaturated lactam. Spectroscopic NMR-data, on the basis of 1H-, 13C- and DEPT spectra, proved the assumption that the C-3-substituted ortho ester derivatives exclusively are trans-configurated, i.e. the alkyl derivatives (R=methyl,ethyl,butyl,allyl) are (2S,3S)-configurated and the aryl derivatives (R=phenyl,4-chlorophenyl,biphenyl,naphthyl) are (2S,3R)-configurated). The C-3-substituted ortho ester derivatives were completely deprotected to yield the C-3-substituted pyroglutamates (R=ethyl,phenyl,4-chlorophenyl,naphthyl). Finally, ring opening reaction via route A-2 lead to the desired enantiopure C-3-substituted glutamates. Alternatively, latter preferably were reacted via route A-1 to yield the C-3-substituted glutamates (R=methyl,ethyl,butyl,phenyl,4-chlorophenyl,naphthyl). Their (2S,3R)-configuration (R=aryl) and (2S,3S)-configuration (R=alky), respectively, unambiguously was proved on the basis of available spectroscopic NMR-data. To ensure this assumption, diastereomeric (2S,3R)-3-methyl glutamic acid (i.e. cis-configurated) examplarily was synthesized via route A-3 and spectroscopic NMR-data was compared to that of (2S,3S)-3-methyl glutamic acid (i.e. trans-configurated). Conclusively, there can be recorded the fact that the serious drawback of the bad atom-economy in the reaction sequence previously used can be circumvented by the introduction of the OBO functionality, so the concept of an improved atom-economy is achieved. Additionally, in comparison to the silyl-ether-mediated synthesis, the OBO functionality provided crystalline ortho ester derivatives, which facilitated their purification as well as characterization.
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a 70-amino acid polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 7.6 kDa acting as an anabolic effector. It is essential for tissue growth and remodeling. Clinically, it is used for the treatment of growth disorders and has been proposed for various other applications including musculoskeletal diseases. Unlike insulin, IGF-I is complexed to at least six high-affinity binding proteins (IGFBPs) exerting homeostatic effects by modulating IGF-I availability to its receptor (IGF-IR) on most cells in the body as well as changing the distribution of the growth factor within the organism.1-3 Short half-lived IGF-I have been the driving forces for the design of localized IGF-I depot systems or protein modification with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties. In this thesis, we endeavor to present a versatile biologic into which galenical properties were engineered through chemical synthesis, e.g., by site-specific coupling of biomaterials or complex composites to IGF-I. For that, we redesigned the therapeutic via genetic codon expansion resulting in an alkyne introduced IGF-I, thereby becoming a substrate for biorthogonal click chemistries yielding a site-specific decoration.
In this approach, an orthogonal pyrrolysine tRNA synthetase (PylRS)/tRNAPyl CUA pair was employed to direct the co-translational incorporation of an unnatural amino acid—¬propargyl-L-lysine (plk)—bearing a clickable alkyne functional handle into IGF-I in response to the amber stop codon (UAG) introduced into the defined position in the gene of interest. We summarized the systematic optimization of upstream and downstream process alike with the ultimate goal to increase the yield of plk modified IGF-I therapeutic, from the construction of gene fusions resulting in (i) Trx-plk-IGF-I fusion variants, (ii) naturally occurring pro-IGF-I protein (IGF-I + Ea peptide) (plk-IGF-I Ea), over the subsequent bacterial cultivation and protein extraction to the final chromatographic purification. The opportunities and hurdles of all of the above strategies were discussed. Evidence was provided that the wild-type IGF-I yields were pure by exploiting the advantages of the pHisTrx expression vector system in concert with a thrombin enzyme with its highly specific proteolytic digestion site and multiple-chromatography steps. The alkyne functionality was successfully introduced into IGF-I by amber codon suppression. The proper folding of plk-IGF-I Ea was assessed by WST-1 proliferation assay and the detection of phosphorylated AKT in MG-63 cell lysate. The purity of plk-IGF-I Ea was monitored with RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE analysis. This work also showed site-specific coupling an alkyne in plk-IGF-I Ea by copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with potent activities in vitro. The site-specific immobilization of plk-IGF-I Ea to the model carrier (i.e., agarose beads) resulted in enhanced cell proliferation and adhesion surrounding the IGF-I-presenting particles. Cell proliferation and differentiation were enhanced in the accessibility of IGF-I decorated beads, reflecting the multivalence on cellular performance.
Next, we aimed at effectively showing the disease environment by co-delivery of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and IGF-I, deploying localized matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) upregulation as a surrogate marker driving the response of the drug delivery system. For this purpose, we genetically engineered FGF2 variant containing an (S)-2-amino-6-(((2-azidoethoxy)carbonyl)amino)hexanoic acid incorporated at its N-terminus, followed by an MMPs-cleavable linker (PCL) and FGF2 sequence, thereby allowing site-directed, specific decoration of the resultant azide-PCL-FGF2 with the previously mentioned plk-IGF-I Ea to generate defined protein-protein conjugates with a PCL in between. The click reaction between plk-IGF-I Ea and azide-PCL-FGF2 was systematically optimized to increase the yield of IGF-FGF conjugates, including reaction temperature, incubation duration, the addition of anionic detergent, and different ratios of the participating biopharmaceutics. The challenge here was that CuAAC reaction components or conditions might oxidize free cysteines of azide-PCL-FGF2 and future work needs to present the extent of activity retention after conjugation. Furthermore, our study provides potential options for dual-labeling of IGF-I either by the introduction of unnatural amino acids within two distinct positions of the protein of interest for parallel “double-click” labeling of the resultant plk-IGF-I Ea-plk or by using a combination of enzymatic-catalyzed and CuAAC bioorthogonal coupling strategies for sequentially dual-labeling of plk-IGF-I Ea.
In conclusion, genetic code expansion in combination with click-chemistry provides the fundament for novel IGF-I analogs allowing unprecedented site specificity for decoration. Considerable progress towards IGF-I based therapies with enhanced pharmacological properties was made by demonstrating the feasibility of the expression of plk incorporated IGF-I using E. coli and retained activity of unconjugated and conjugated IGF-I variant. Dual-labeling of IGF-I provides further insights into the functional requirements of IGF-I. Still, further investigation warrants to develop precise IGF-I therapy through unmatched temporal and spatial regulation of the pleiotropic IGF-I.
Each year millions of plastic and reconstructive procedures are performed to regenerate soft tissue defects after, for example, traumata, deep burns or tumor resections. Tissue engineered adipose tissue grafts are a promising alternative to autologous fat transfer or synthetic implants to meet this demand for adipose tissue. Strategies of tissue engineering, especially the use of cell carriers, provide an environment for better cell survival, an easier positioning and supplemented with the appropriate conditions a faster vascularization in vivo. To successfully engineer an adipose tissue substitute for clinical use, it is crucial to know the actual intended application. In some areas, like the upper and lower extremities, only a thin subcutaneous fat layer is needed and in others, large volumes of vascularized fat grafts are more desirable. The use and interplay of stem cells and selected scaffolds were investigated and provide now a basis for the generation of fitted and suitable substitutes in two different application areas.
Complex injuries of the upper and lower extremities, in many cases, lead to excessive scarring. Due to severe damage to the subcutaneous fat layer, a common sequela is adhesion formation to mobile structures like tendons, nerves, and blood vessels resulting in restricted motion and disabling pain [Moor 1996, McHugh 1997]. In order to generate a subcutaneous fat layer to cushion scarred tissue after substantial burns or injuries, different collagen matrices were tested for clinical handling and the ability to support adipogenesis. When testing five different collagen matrices, PermacolTM and StratticeTM showed promising characteristics; additionally both possess the clinical approval. Under culture conditions, only PermacolTM, a cross-linked collagen matrix, exhibited an excellent long-term stability. Ranking nearly on the same level was StratticeTM, a non-cross-linked dermal scaffold; it only exhibited a slight shrinkage. All other scaffolds tested were severely compromised in stability under culture conditions. Engineering a subcutaneous fat layer, a construct would be desirable with a thin layer of emerging fat for cushioning on one side, and a non-seeded other side for cell migration and host integration. With PermacolTM and StratticeTM, it was possible to produce constructs with ASC (adipose derived stem cells) seeded on one side, which could be adipogenically differentiated. Additionally, the thickness of the cell layer could be varied. Thereby, it becomes possible to adjust the thickness of the construct to the surrounding tissue. In order to reduce the pre-implantation time ex vivo and the costs, the culture time was varied by testing different induction protocols. An adipogenic induction period of only four days was demonstrated to be sufficient to obtain a substantial adipogenic differentiation of the applied ASC. Thus, seeded with ASC, PermacolTM and StratticeTM are suitable scaffolds to engineer subcutaneous fat layers for reconstruction of the upper and lower extremities, as they support adipogenesis and are appropriately thin, and therefore would not compromise the cosmesis.
For the engineering of large-volume adipose tissue, adequate vascularization still represents a major challenge. With the objective to engineer vascularized fat pads, it is important to consider the slow kinetics of revascularization in vivo. Therefore, a decellularized porcine jejunum with pre-existing vascular structures and pedicles to connect to the host vasculature or the circulation of a bioreactor system was used. In a first step, the ability of a small decellularized jejunal section was tested for cell adhesion and for supporting adipogenic differentiation of hASC mono-cultures. Cell adhesion and adipogenic maturation of ASC seeded on the jejunal material was verified through histological and molecular analysis. After the successful mono-culture, the goal was to establish a MVEC (microvascular endothelial cells) and ASC co-culture; suitable culture conditions had to be found, which support the viability of both cell types and do not interfere with the adipogenic differentiation. After the elimination of EGF (epidermal growth factor) from the co-culture medium, substantial adipogenic maturation was observed. In the next step, a large jejunal segment (length 8 cm), with its pre-existing vascular structures and arterial/venous pedicles, was connected to the supply system of a custom-made bioreactor. After successful reseeding the vascular structure with endothelial cells, the lumen was seeded with ASC which were then adipogenically induced. Histological and molecular examinations confirmed adipogenic maturation and the existence of seeded vessels within the engineered construct. Noteworthily, a co-localization of adipogenically differentiating ASC and endothelial cells in vascular networks could be observed. So, for the first time a vascularized fat construct was developed in vitro, based on the use of a decellularized porcine jejunum. As this engineered construct can be connected to a supply system or even to a patient vasculature, it is versatile in use, for example, as transplant in plastic and reconstruction surgery, as model in basic research or as an in vitro drug testing system.
To summarize, in this work a promising substitute for subcutaneous fat layer reconstruction, in the upper and lower extremities, was developed, and the first, as far as reported, in vitro generated adipose tissue construct with integrated vascular networks was successfully engineered.
Analysis of Drug Impurities by Means of Chromatographic Methods: Targeted and Untargeted Approaches
(2022)
The presented works aimed on the analysis of new impurities in APIs and medicinal products. Different subtypes of LC were coupled to suitable detection methods, i.e. UV and various MS techniques, depending on the chemical natures of the analytes and the analytical task.
Unexpected impurities in medicinal products and APIs caused several scandals in the past, concomitant with fatalities or severe side effects in human and veterinary patients. The detection of nitrosamines in sartans led to the discovery of nitrosamines in various other drugs, of which the antibiotic rifampicin was analyzed in this work. An examination of the synthesis of rifampicin revealed a high potential for the formation of 4-methyl-1-nitrosopiperazine (MeNP). An LC-MS/HRMS method suitable for the quantification of MeNP was applied in the analysis of drugs collected from Brazil, Comoros, India, Nepal, and Tanzania, where a single dose of rifampicin is used in the post-exposure prophylaxis of leprosy. All batches were contaminated with MeNP, ranging from 0.7-5.1 ppm. However, application of rifampicin containing up to 5 ppm MeNP was recommended by the regulatory authorities for the post-exposure prophylaxis of leprosy.
In the 1990s the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin attracted attention after causing fatalities in the USA, but the causative agent was never identified unequivocally. The related substance sisomicin was recognized as a lead impurity by the Holzgrabe lab at the University of Würzburg: sisomicin was accompanied by a variety of other impurities and batches containing sisomicin had caused the fatalities. In 2016, anaphylactic reactions were reported after application of gentamicin. A contamination of the medicinal products with histamine, an impurity of the raw material fish peptone used upon the production, could be identified as the cause of the adverse effects. Batches of gentamicin sulfate, which had been stored at the University of Würzburg since the earlier investigations, were analyzed regarding their contamination with histamine to determine whether the biogenic amine was responsible for the 1990s fatalities as well. Furthermore, a correlation with the lead impurity sisomicin was checked. Histamine could be detected in all analyzed batches, but at a lower level than in the batches responsible for the anaphylactic reactions. Moreover, there is no correlation of histamine with the lead impurity sisomicin. Hence, the causative agent for the 1990s fatalities was not histamine and remains unknown.
Another source of impurities is the reaction of APIs with excipients, e.g. the esterification of naproxen with PEG 600 in soft gel capsules. The influence of the formulation’s composition on this reaction was investigated by means of LC-UV. Therefore, the impurity naproxen-PEG-ester (NPEG) was synthesized and used for the development of a method suitable for the analysis of soft gel capsule formulations. Different formulations were stressed for 7 d at 60 °C and the relative amount of NPEG was determined. The formation of NPEG was influenced by the concentrations of water and lactic acid, the pH, and the drug load of the formulation, which can easily be explained by the chemistry behind esterification reactions.
Keeping in mind the huge variety of sources of impurities, it might be impossible to predict all potential impurities of a drug substance/product. Targeted and untargeted approaches were combined in the impurity profiling of bisoprolol fumarate. Eight versions of an LC-HRMS method were developed to enable the detection of a maximum number of impurities: an acidic and a basic buffered LC was coupled to MS detection applying ESI and APCI, both in positive in negative mode. MS and MS/MS data were acquired simultaneously by information dependent acquisition. In the targeted approach, potential impurities were derived from a reaction matrix based on the synthesis route of the API, while the untargeted part was based on general unknown comparative screening to identify additional signals. 18 and 17 impurities were detected in the targeted and the untargeted approach, respectively. The molecular formulae were assessed based on the exact mass and the isotope pattern. Theoretical fragment spectra generated by in silico fragmentation were matched with experimental data to estimate the plausibility of proposed/elucidated structures. Moreover, the detected impurities were quantified with respect to an internal standard.
Estrogens, namely 17β-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) are considered to play an important role in the initiation and promotion of breast cancer (summarized in Raftogianis et al., 2000), a malignancy responsible for around 500,000 deaths per year (summarized in Ghislain et al., 2016). Two major mechanisms have been postulated to explain the carcinogenic effects of estrogens: (1) the estrogen receptor-mediated stimulation of breast cell proliferation with a concomitant enhanced rate of mutations and (2) the metabolism of hydroxylated estrogens to quinone derivatives which can react with the DNA (Russo and Russo, 2006, summarized in Yager and Davidson, 2006). Nevertheless, as a detoxifying mechanism, E1, E2, and their hydroxylated and methoxylated metabolites are reversibly conjugated into sulfates and glucuronides devoid of biological activity (summarized in Guillemette et al., 2004). Yet, despite the key detoxifying function of these conjugates, the study of their circulating levels face some significant problems: (1) analysis by techniques such as radioimmunoassay lack specificity and accuracy and requires enzymatic/chemical hydrolysis before analysis, being unable to differentiate between sulfates and glucuronides (summarized in Stanczyk et al., 2007, summarized in Wang et al., 2016), (2) very little knowledge in healthy women, which has been identified as a barrier to advance in breast cancer research (summarized in Liu, 2000), and (3) far fewer studies in pre- than in postmenopausal women (summarized in Samavat and Kurzer, 2015). Therefore, to get more insights into the research of breast cancer etiology and prevention, the analysis of circulating levels of estrogens (including metabolites and conjugates) in women without breast cancer through reliable analytical techniques, is required.
In all the projects presented, it is evident that the selection of suitable separation conditions is only one side of the coin. Equally crucial in the development of methods for the quality assessment of APIs/drugs is the right detection system.
The application of CAD as an alternative to UV detection at low wavelength of the two weak chromophore main degradation products of the very polar, zwitterionic API carbocisteine requires the volatility of the mobile phase. Therefore, as a substitute for the non-volatile ion pairing reagent tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH), six different volatile alkylamines as well as a RP/SAX mixed-mode column were evaluated. The best selectivity and separation performance comparable to TBAOH was achieved with the RP/SAX column and a mixture of formic acid and trifluoroacetic acid. For the simultaneous optimisation of the evaporation temperature of the CAD as a function of two chromatographic parameters, a central composite design was chosen and the “desirability function” was subsequently applied for modelling. In addition, column bleeding was investigated with a second RP/SAX column (different batch) with the result that the acetonitrile percentage had to be adjusted and preconditioning by injection of concentrated samples is essential. The final mixed-mode method was finally validated with both columns according to the ICH Q2 (R1) guideline.
Based on this, an MS-compatible method was developed with little effort using an identical RP/SAX column in UPLC dimension for the untargeted analysis by HRMS of two carbocisteine-containing prototype syrup formulations. For a comprehensive characterisation, HRMS and MS/HRMS data were recorded simultaneously by information dependent acquisition mode. Based on the exact masses, isotope patterns and an in silico plausibility check of the fragment spectra, the prediction of the structures of the unknown impurities was possible. In both syrup samples, which had been stored for nine months at 40 °C and 75 % r.h., two additional impurities of carbocisteine (i.e. lactam of the sulfoxides and disulphide between cysteine and thioglycolic acid) were identified by comparison with the corresponding prototype placebo samples using general unknown comparative screening. In addition, the formation of Maillard products by binary mixtures with 13C-labelled sugars was revealed in the sucrose-containing formulation.
For the promising hyphenation of the UV detector with the CAD for the simultaneous detection of all UV-active impurities of the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin and the only weak chromophore dihydrosimvastatin, the Ph. Eur. method had to be adapted. Besides replacing phosphoric acid with trifluoroacetic acid, the gradient also had to be adjusted and a third critical peak pair was observed. Based on validation experiments (according to the ICH Q2 (R1) guideline), the suitability of the CAD for sensitive detection (LOQ = 0.0175 % m/m) was proven.
To further investigate the robustness of the adapted method and CAD, a Plackett-Burman design was chosen. None of the factors had a statistically significant effect on the S/N of the CAD in the ranges tested. Regarding the three critical peak pairs, on the other hand, the factors to be controlled were statistically established, so that a targeted correction is possible if the system suitability test is not passed. The idea of employing a hyphenated UV-CAD system was finally applied to the structurally closely related lovastatin and its specified impurity dihydrolovastatin. Here, the CAD showed a significantly better S/N compared to the compendial UV detection at 200 nm.
The suitability of CAD for the analysis of non-volatile fatty acids in polysorbate 80 (PS80) as favourable alternative to the Ph. Eur. GC method (no time-consuming, error-prone and toxic derivatisation) has already been demonstrated. The aim of this project was therefore to develop a robust method with a focus on the AQbD principles, which can be used for the analysis of other excipients with similar fatty acid composition. After the definition of the analytical target profile and a risk assessment by means of an Ishikawa diagram, a suitable C18 column and the chromatographic framework conditions (formic acid concentration and initial/final gradient conditions) were selected after only few preliminary runs. The remaining critical method parameters were then investigated with the help of DoE and RSM. Using the obtained model equations, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to create the method operable design region as a region of theoretical robustness. After validation according to ICH Q2 (R1), the fatty acid composition of a magnesium stearate batch was successfully analysed as a further application example in addition to PS80.
The CAD was able to prove its potential in all the issues investigated in the context of this doctoral thesis. As a cost-effective alternative compared to MS instruments, it thus closes a gap in the quality assessment of APIs or excipients without a suitable chromophore. The easy method transfer to (HR)MS instruments also allows for a unique degree of sample characterisation through untargeted approaches in case of new impurities. For resource- and time-efficient work, the possibilities and limitations of software tools for method development and data evaluation as well as the application of risk-based approaches such as AQbD should also be considered.
