Application of the HPLC-QTOF method for the identification and quantitative determination of impurities in the substance of the drug «Lomustine»

Keywords: lomustine, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea, specific impurities, 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)urea, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexylurea, 1,3-dicyclohexylurea, HPLC-MS/MS tandem mass-spectrometry.

Abstract

A highly efficient liquid chromatography–quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF-MS) method was proposed for the study of solutions of the substance standards of the drug Lomustin, which is included in the List of Vital Drugs, as well as specific impurities regulated by the European Pharmacopoeia. As a result of the study, a new specific impurity was found.
