Abstract:

A precolumn derivatization-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the accurate determination of hydrazine in clozapine. This method is based on precolumn derivatization with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to form p-dimethylaminobenzene. The chromatographic separation is achieved on a Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elution at 480 nm detection wavelength, the mobile phase consists of 0.1% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, the injection volume is 30 μL, and the column temperature is 30℃. The results show that the linearity range for free hydrazide is 0.001~12.25 μg/mL with R2=0.9994. The recoveries at three spiking levels are over the range of 97.4%~100.9% with RSD≤1.2% (n=9). The limit of detection is estimated to be 0.3125 μg/L, and the limit of quantification is 1.225 μg/L. The results fully meet the requirements of the standard limit. The three batches of clozapine samples do not have free hydrazine, indicating that the content of hydrazine in clozapine is quantified. Compared with traditional detection method of hydrazine hydrochloride (USP39 version), the proposed method has prominent advantages, such as high specificity, sensitivity and reliability, and hence has great potential in routine quantitative analysis of hydrazine in clozapine samples.
