Abstract

Aim: To develop a sensitive headspace GC-MS method for the determination of potential genotoxic impurities in Vigabatrin.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was performed in SIONC Pharmaceuticals, Visakhapatnam from June 2020 to March 2021.

Methodology: The impurities were determined by selected ion monitoring mode using VF -WAXms (30 mts length, 0.25 mm internal diameter, 1.0 µ film thickness) column. Helium gas was used as carrier gas with a column flow of 1.0 mL/min. and injector temperature maintained at 220 0C. Oven Temperature, loop temperature and transfer line temperature were maintained in the head space at 70oC, 90oC and 100oC respectively.

Results: The linearity of the method was proposed in the range of LOQ to 150 % for the genotoxic impurities by subjecting the data obtained to statistical analysis using linear regression model (r2 > 0.99). The method also gave acceptable recovery of all the four impurities at each level and was found to be accurate. The % RSD obtained in the method precision and intermediate precision were less than 11% depicting the precision of the method. The LOD and LOQ values were calculated based on the signal to noise ratio and are indicating the sensitivity of the method. The specificity of the method was checked for blank interference at the retention time of respective impurities.

Conclusion: The results proved that the proposed headspace GC-MS method for the study of potential genotoxic impurities of Vigabatrin was sensitive, precise and accurate and could be routinely used in the quality control testing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
