Abstract

Abemaciclib is an effective selective cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitors for cancer therapy. The abemaciclib-related substances influence its efficacy and safety, and are important in process preparation studies and quality control. Thus, a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the detection of related substances in its bulk drug. The separation of abemaciclib and related substances was performed on a Phenomenon Gemini C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) with a flow rate of 1.0ml/min. The ultraviolet detection wavelength was 280 nm. Mobile phase A was composed of a mixed solution of aqueous solution and acetonitrile (9:1, v/v). The aqueous solution (pH 2.5) contained 0.025-mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and 0.4% triethylamine. Mobile phase B was composed of acetonitrile. This novel method exhibits good system suitability, specificity, precision, stability, linearity (0.1-20 μg/ml), repeatability, and durability. Among abemaciclib and related substances, the lowest limit of detection and quantitation were 0.02 and 0.06 μg/ml, respectively, for abemaciclib. The recovery rates for related substances were above 95%. In addition, a novel degradation product was found during the process. In summary, a reliable reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for abemaciclib-related substance detection in bulk drugs.
