Abstract

The objective of this current study is to establish a single method for potency and related proteins analysis of human insulin formulations using reverse-phase high performance liquid (RP-HPLC) chromatography technique which was validated and verified for the potency analysis in insulin formulations. Chromatographic separation was achieved using an octadecylsilane (C-18) stationary phase and a mobile phase composed of 55% (v/v) buffer (0.2 M sodium sulfate in water, {pH 2.3}) and 45% (v/v) acetonitrile. Detection was performed by UV detector at 214 nm with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and an injection volume of 20 µL, at 40°C. Currently there are separate methods available in Indian Pharmacopoeia for analysis of Potency and Related proteins in human insulin. We have validated a single method where quantitation of potency and related proteins can be performed in the same run. The method validation exhibited linearity over the concentration range of 0.08–4.5 mg/ml (r2=0.999) with limit of detection of 0.094 mg/ml The accuracy of the method was 99–102.8%. Thus, it is proposed that both potency and related proteins in insulin formulations can be precisely evaluated using a single run thus saving the time and cost for quality analysis of insulin preparations both at manufacturing and regulatory laboratories which in turn will increase the market availability of such standard quality insulin preparations for public health use.
