ABSTRACT

A stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed with short run time and validated for the assay of process related impurities of pantoprazole in bulk form. Resolution of drug, its potential impurities and degradation products were achieved on a Hypersil ODS column utilizing a gradient with 0.01 M phosphate buffer of pH 7 and acetonitrile as eluent, at the detection wavelength of 290 nm. Flow rate was set at 1 mL min^-1. The procedure was found to be specific, linear (r=0.999), recovery (97.9-103%), LOD (0.043-0.047 µgmL^-1), LOQ (0.13-0.14 µgmL^-1) and robust. Acceptable robustness indicates that the assay method remains unaffected by small but deliberate variations. Pantoprazole was found to degrade in acidic, oxidative and under photolytic stress conditions. The drug was stable to alkaline and dry heat conditions. This method has been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation and no interference from the excipients was found.

INTRODUCTION

[(Pyridylmethyl)sulfinyl]benzimidazoles (PSBs) have proved to be highly active inhibitors of the gastric (H+, K+)-ATPase both in vitro and in vivo with high and long lasting antisecretory activity (Wallmark et al.,1985; Larsson et al.,1983). Pantoprazole (PNT), 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-[[(3,4- dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole is an oral pharmaceutically active compound having promising anti-ulcer activity (Kohl et al., 1992) and belongs to the class of 2-[[(2- pyridyl) methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazoles. In general these classes of compounds were used for the prevention and treatment of gastric acid related diseases (Kohl et al., 1988). Literature studies reveal different methods for the preparation of PNT (Kormer et al., 1990).

Numerous methods have been developed for the determination of PNT in the bulk drug substance or dosage forms, either alone or in the presence of other drugs. Techniques used for its assay include spectrophotometry (Moustafa et al., 2000; Wahbi et al., 2002; Rajic et al., 2003; Salama et al., 2003; Rahman et al., 2005, 2006), polarography (Radi, 2003; Radi et al., 2003), thermogravimetry (Reddy et al., 2007), amperometry (Castro et al., 2005), HPLC (Mansour et al., 2000; Storms et al., 2002; Sivkumar et al., 2007, 2008; Margues et al., 2007; Patel et al., 2007; Zeinab et al., 2006), GC method (Nanduri et al., 2008), TLC (Agbaba et al., 2004; Gosavi et al. 2006), and capillary electrophoresis (Tivesten et al., 1999).

The presence of impurities in an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can have a significant impact on the quality and safety of the drug products. The regulatory framework basically addresses the development of analytical approaches focused on the impurities contained in the drugs. The requirements for testing the impurities become increasingly more complex due to the fact that the sources of potential impurities are numerous, including diverse synthetic routes, possible side reactions, degradation reactions affected by different storage conditions, different package materials, etc.

PNT is synthesized by condensation of 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole (I) and 2-(chloromethyl)-3,4-dimethoxypiridine hydrochloride in the presence of an inorganic base, to yield 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-[[(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl) methyl] thio-1H-benzimidazole (II), which—upon further oxidation with a suitable oxidizing agent eventually leads to pantoprazole. The route of synthesis and Chemical structures of the possible impurities contained in PNT are shown in Figure 1. The most important and critical step is PNT oxidation. Consequently, as a potential byproduct the sulfone, i.e., 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-[[(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl) methyl] sulfonyl-1H-benzimidazole (III), could appear via a structurally labile overoxidated sulfoxide (Mathad et al., 2004).

Forced degradation studies of new drug substances and drug products are essential to help develop and demonstrate specificity of stability-indicating methods and to determine the degradation pathways and degradation products of the active ingredients. Procedures for the preparation of specific degradation products needed for method validation often emerge from these studies (Dan et al., 2002).

Developing a short run time stability-indicating HPLC method for PNT is very challenging because there are many PNT related compounds which have similar structures as PNT. In this paper, we report the shorter analysis time (in comparison to European Pharmacopoeia, 2008; Jelena et al., 2010; Jing-yi et al., 2010) stability-indicating HPLC method for the estimation of PNT and its related substances in the presence of degraded impurities, employed by forced degradation method.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Material

Used Chemicals were obtained from the following suppliers: Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, orthophosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide (30%w/v) from Qualigens, Mumbai, India and Acetonitrile (ACN) HPLC grade (S.D. fine Chemicals, Mumbai, India). PNT, Impurity A/ 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-{[(4,5-dimethoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]sulfonyl}-1H-benzimidazole (Sulfone), Impurity-B/ 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-{[(4,5-dimethoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]sulfanyl}-1H-benzimidazole (Sulfide), Impurity-C/ 5-(difluoromethoxy)-1H-benzimidazole-2-thiol (DBT) was obtained from Laurel Pharma, Bangalore. The PNT formulations i.e. Pantosec 40 (tablet), Allpan 40 (tablet), Altopan- i.v. (injection) are procured from local drug stores. The deionized water (Mili Q, In house) was used throughout.

Methods

Instrumentation

A HPLC (Shimadzu, ClassVP HPLC, Japan) equipped with Dual Wavelength absorbance detector, pH Meter (744 from Metrohm), Analytical Balance (XS 205 from Mettler Toledo), Ultrasonic Bath (RX106 SONOREX), Photostability Chamber (Thermo lab), autopippette (100 – 1000 µL from Eppendorf), Oven (VA1,VA3 from SHEL LAB) were used.

Chromatographic conditions

Gradient elution of mobile phase comprising of Acetonitrile and 0.01M phosphate buffer (pH of 7 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) with flow rate of 1mL min^-1 was performed on Hypersil ODS (125x4.0 mm, 5 µm). The column temperature was maintained at 40 ^oC and the injection volume was 20 µL. Prior to injection of analyte, the column was equilibrated for 30-40 min with mobile phase. The eluents were monitored at 290 nm, data were acquired, stored and analysed with Class VP Chromatographic Software.

Preparation of stock and system suitability solution

All samples and standards were diluted using HPLC grade ACN and 0.1M Sodium hydroxide in the ratio of 50:50 (v/v). Separate stock Solutions were prepared by dissolving appropriate amounts of PNT and related impurities by sonication followed by filling to the volume with the same diluent.

A stock solution was prepared for PNT (460 µg mL^-1) and each impurity (A, B, C) having final concentration of 440 µg mL^-1. Equal volume (2 mL) of impurity B & impurity C was mixed from their stock solutions and further diluted to 100 mL with diluent labeled as stock A. For preparation of stock B, 2 mL of PNT & impurity A was mixed from their stock solutions and diluted to 100 mL by same diluent. The stock A & B was used further in validation studies. System suitability solution was prepared by adding 1 mL of sulphone impurity (of concentration 46 µg mL^-1) into 23 mg of PNT and volume was made upto 50 mL by using diluents.

Sample solution

Ten tablets (Pantosec40 and Allpan 40) were weighed individualy and then powdered. Powder aliquot equivalent to 46 mg pure pantoprazole was accurately weighed and transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask. For Injection vial (Altopan- i.v.) containing 46 mg pure PNT was dissolved in diluent and after sonication for 10 min volume was made upto 100 mL in volumetric flask.

Forced degradation of Pentaprazole API

In order to establish whether the analytical method and the assay were stability indicating, the PNT was stressed under various conditions to promote degradation. 23 mg PNT was allowed to hydrolyze in base (0.1 N NaOH), acid (0.05 N HCl) and hydrogen peroxide (0.01%) separately for 2 minutes. Further the acid degraded solution was neutralized by adding 5 mL of 0.05 M sodium hydroxide and alkaline degraded solution was neutralized by adding 5 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid. The volume of all three samples was made up with diluent upto 50 mL. PNT was also studied for its thermal degradation at 80 ^oC for 1 h respectively. For photolytic degradation 500 mg of PNT was transferred into two separate loss on drying (LOD) bottle each. One LOD bottle was covered with lid and then with aluminium foil (dark control) and another LOD bottle (photolytic exposed sample) was placed as such into the photolytic chamber by covering with lid in such a way to get the minimum exposure of 2600 lux of uv light for 100 hours. 23 mg of dark control sample and photolytic exposed sample was weighed and diluted each to 50 mL volume with the diluent. Single injection of blank and PNT solution was injected of all degradation conditions. The peak purity and % degradation of PNT peak in all the degradation conditions was checked by using following formula:

Method validation

The method validation was done by evaluating specificity, detection limit (LOD) and quantitation limit (LOQ), linearity, accuracy, repeatability and reproducebility, robustness and system suitability of PNT with impurities in accordance with ICH guidelines (ICH, 2005). The system suitability study was performed before each validation study.

Specificity

Specificity is the ability to assess unequivocally the analyte in the presence of components, which may be expected to be present. The specificity of the method was demonstrated by injecting each process-related impurity spiked with PNT. For specifity, the PNT sample was spiked with impurities by using stock solution A and B.

System suitability

System suitability test was performed to evaluate the chromatographic parameters (capacity factor, number of theoretical plates, asymmetry of the peaks and resolution between two consecutive peaks) before each validation run. The system suitability criterion is resolution between PNT and impurity sulfone peaks.

Linearity

The linearity of an analytical procedure is its ability to obtain test results, which are directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. The linearity of response was determined in triplicate for all three impurities and PNT in the range from 0.1 to 2 µg mL^-1. The dilutions were prepared by using impurity stock solution A & B. Response factor for all known impurities against Pantoprazole was calculated from the following formula:

Limit of detection and quantification

The limit of detection (LOD) of a compound is defined as the lowest concentration that can be detected. The limit of quantification (LOQ) is the lowest concentration of a compound that can be quantified with acceptable precision and accuracy. For each impurity and PNT the linearity data was used to determine residual standard deviation (σ) and slope (S). The LOD and LOQ were calculated from the data using formula 3σ/S and 10 σ/S respectively.

Accuracy

The accuracy of an analytical procedure expresses the closeness of agreement between the value, which is accepted either as a conventional true value or an accepted reference value and the value found. The recovery, evaluated with the standard addition procedure at three concentrations in triplicate at QL level, 100 % and 200 % of target limit.

Precision (repeatability and reproducibility)

The precision of an analytical procedure expresses the closeness of agreement between a series of measurements from multiple sampling of the same homogeneous sample under prescribed conditions. Precision maybe considered as a repeatability and reproducibility.

Repeatability expresses the precision under the same operating conditions over a short interval of time. Repeatability of the method was studied by spiking impurities with PNT at 100 % specification level. The precision was examined by analyzing six replicates and the percentage relative standard deviation was calculated for the area and retention time of all the impurities and PNT to demonstrate repeatability. Reproducebility of the method was studied by spiking impurities with PNT at 100% specification level on different day.

Reproducibility is normally expressed as the lack of the influence on the test results of operational and environmental variables of the analytical method. In order to demonstrate reproducibility of the method the precision experiment was repeated by using different laboratory, different instrument, and different column on another day. The percentage bias of result was calculated between original condition and changed condition.

Robustness

The robustness of an analytical procedure is the measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small, but deliberate, variations in method parameters and provides an indication of its reliability during normal usage. The HPLC parameters were deliberately varied from normal procedural conditions including detector wavelength (±5 nm), column oven temperature (±5 ºC), the flow rate (±10%), pH of buffer solution (±0.2), gradient program (±2 %) to test the robustness of the method.

Solution stability

Chromatographic analyses typically are performed by using autosamplers and overnight runs. As such, it is important to verify that the sample is stable in the solution prescribed by the method for periods encompassing the expected analysis duration period. Stability of test solution at analyte concentration was studied by keeping the solution in tightly capped volumetric flask at room temperature on a laboratory bench for 24 h. The purity of the test solution was checked for by calculating % difference in peak area for PNT peak in standard and sample solution was calculated upto 24 h interval.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Development and optimization of the HPLC method

Proper selection of the method depends upon the nature of the sample (ionic or ionisable or neutral molecule) its molecular weight and solubility. PNT and their related impurities dissolve in polar solvents thus RP-HPLC was selected to estimate them. To develop a rugged and suitable stability indicating HPLC method for the quantitative determination of PNT and their impurities, the chromatographic conditions were selected after testing the different parameters such as columns, diluents, buffer, buffer concentration, organic solvent for mobile phase and mobile phase composition, gradient condition, column temperature and other chromatographic conditions.

UV spectra of all the compounds were studied by scanning them between 190 nm to 400 nm. The wavelength maximum of PNT was found to be 204 nm and 302 nm. Since UV cut-off commonly uses solvent is up to 210 nm, therefore wavelength maximum that could be taken into consideration is between 280-310 nm. The λ_max of most of the impurity lies near to 290 nm. During the experiments, it has been observed that baseline stability, mobile phase interference and noise level were more desirable at 290 nm than 302 nm. Moreover, the adequate detection and quantification limit were found for all the impurities and PNT at 290 nm therefore, 290 nm was finalized as common wavelength for detection.

Our preliminary trials using different columns (Phenomenex Luna C8, Zorbax SB C8), different mobile phases consisting of water-acetonitrile and sodium phosphate buffer- acetonitrile using isocratic elution did not give good peak shape and resolution. For the impurities and PNT, retention times were found near dead point. Therefore, in such case gradient elution is preffered over isocratic. To obtain efficient gradient elution pattern, small linear gradient was employed for development. Several, permutations and combination of ACN-buffer and buffer-ACN with varying _PH have been scanned to finalize the components of mobile phase. It has been observed that ACN (mobile phase-A) and phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 7.0 with orthophosphoric acid (mobile phase-B) with gradient elution provide best peak shape and resolution. The diluent preffered is 0.1M sodium hydroxide: ACN (50:50). Hypersil ODS a C18 column is preferred over C8 column because of its hydrophobicity so that to rectify retention problems. Table I includes all the trials for optimization of method.

Forced degradation studies

In forced degradation method pantoprazole sodium was found to degrade substantially under acidic, oxidative conditions while stable under alkaline, thermal condition and under photolytic conditions was miniscule (Table II). The major impurity under acidic and oxidative condition was Sulfide (RRT 1.63) and Sulfone (RRT 0.80) respectively (Figure 2).

Method validation

PNT and its related impurities were well resolved with no interference from the blank and mobile phase. For all compounds the purity angle was found to be less than purity threshold value. The value of relative retention time and purity data is listed in table II. The described method is linear in the range of 0.1 µg mL^-1 to 2 µg mL^-1 of each impurity, demonstrated acceptability of the method for the quantitative determination in that range. The relative response factor (RRF) of Impurity-A, Impurity-B, Impurity-C with respect to PNT was found to be 1.13, 0.93 and 0.59 respectively. The value of linearity range, equation, corellation coefficient, LOD and LOQ for PNT and its related impurity are shown in Table III.

In the precision study, the percentage relative standard deviation (RSD) of six replicates was found less than 0.13 % for retention time and 1.12 % for peak area of all the impurities and PNT, indicating good repeatability of the method. The results of the reproducibility study under a different set of conditions are also in the same order of magnitude. The percentage bias between two different sets of conditions for retention time and peak area was within ±1.29 and ±0.29 respectively for all the impurities and PNT, indicates that method is rugged for its intended use. The method showed excellent recovery (accuracy) at three different studied concentrations QL, 100 and 200 % of specification level for all the impurities. The mean recoveries of all the impurities and PNT were found to be in the acceptable range of 97.94 to 102.6 %. Table IV shows all the data related to accuracy and precision.

Under robustness study, all analytes were adequately resolved. The LOQ solution maintained a signal-to-noise ratio over 10 in all varied conditions. The acceptance criterion for system suitability and relative retention times of all known impurities were checked for each of the following variable chromatographic conditions and passed. The peak resolution between PNT and sulfone impuritiy were all larger than 3 under each variation. The results are shown in table V. No significant change in the process related impurity and PNT was observed during solution stability experiments and all the test solution was found to be stable for at least 24 h.

The method is used to assay the commercial dosage forms that contain PNT. Satisfactory results were obtained and in a good agreement with the labeled amount (Table VI).

The proposed method has shorter retention time for pantoprazole (8.01 versus 11 min) and significantly higher resolution factors for all of the resolved compounds as compared with the official European pharmacopoeia procedure (European Pharmacopoeia, 2008). Also the overall elution time is almost less than EP procedure and Letica et al. method (Jelena et al., 2010), about 15 min. The detection and quantization limits are camparable to Letica et al. The proposed method could be used for the fast assay of pantoprazole and its impurities in the bulk drug substance, or in its dosage forms.

CONCLUSION

The proposed stability indicating reversed-phase, gradient HPLC method on Shimadzu Hypersil ODS column have been developed and validated. The concomitant quantitation provides significant decrease in sample preparation, elution time, solvent and drug waste over the separation methods of analysis. Moreover, the specificity procedure and forced degradation studies revealed that the potential impurities i.e. Impurity A, Impurity B, Impurity C do not interfere with the determination of pantoprazole in the bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed HPLC method is simple, accurate, precise, specific, rugged according to ICH guidelines.
