Abstract
In order to meet the analytical requirements of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), a new HPLC-FLD method was successfully developed using dansyl chloride for the derivatization and determination of the genotoxic impurities N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) in Lisinopril API and its final product. Samples’ pretreatment includes liquid–liquid microextraction, denitrosation, and derivatization steps. To optimize the process, the parameters contributing to high sensitivity and yielding reliable results were thoroughly studied and optimized using one-factor-at-a-time and experimental design approaches. The analytes were pre-column derivatized with Dansyl-Cl and analyzed by HPLC-fluorescence (λem/λem = 340/530) using a C18 column and a mixture of phosphate buffer (pH = 2.8; 20 mM)/acetonitrile 55:45 v/v as the mobile phase. The six-level concentration calibration was shown to be linear, with R equal to 0.9995 for both analytes. The limit of detection (LOD) was satisfactory and equal to 4.7 and 0.04 ng/mL for NDMA and NDEA, respectively. Precision was less than 13.4% in all cases, and the average recoveries were equal to 109.2 and 98.1% for NDMA and NDEA, respectively. The proposed procedure is relatively easy, rapid, and suitable for the determination of the two nitrosamines in routine analysis tests.
