Impurities Synthesis

Impurity profile studies play significant roles in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) development, which are closely related to the quality, safety and efficacy of drug products. And the impurity profile of API for drug products requires studying in the view of stringent quality standards. The recent guidelines published by International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) recommended identification and characterization of all the impurities present at a level of ~0.10% or more. Regulatory agencies give significant importance to quantifying the impurities present in the drug substance and also in the drug product. Hence impurities standards are required in pure form.

Sources of drug impurities

Pharmaceutical impurities are generally related to specific drugs and can be divided into organic impurities and inorganic impurities. Derived from the following aspects:

• Stems from the solvent, catalyst and so on which are commonly used in the pharmaceutical production process.
• The raw materials, such as reaction initial complex, synthetic intermediates, by-products and so on, which are related to the formation process.
• The products of oxidation, decomposition and hydrolysis during storage.
• The optical isomers in the chiral compounds.
• Multiple crystal forms of the drug.
• There are not only alkaloids, volatile oil and organic acids, but also protein, tannin, starch, resin and other impurities in the extracts of animal and plant drugs.
• Attenuating substances in radioactive drugs.
• Proteins abnormally expressed in bioengineered products.
• Heavy metals and inorganic salts.

Below is a list of Our Drug Impurity Synthesis Strategy:

• Production stock separation
  Enrichment and Separation of impurities by recrystallization, HPLC and SFC.

• Chemical strong degradation of the raw drug
  Synthesis of degradation products of API by Acid-base degradation, Oxidation degradation, and Photodegradation.

• Simulation and Optimization of process conditions for API.
  Simulation and Optimization of the process conditions for improving the impurity content in the reaction.

• New synthesis Route of impurity.
  Synthesis of impurities in raw materials by high efficiency and new route.
