Methotrexate, an antifolate antitumor drug. This product is orange-yellow crystalline powder. Mainly through
[Main ingredients]: The main ingredient of this product is methotrexate.
This product is in
Method name: Methotrexate API-Methotrexate-High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Scope of application: This method uses high performance liquid chromatography to determine the methotrexate content in methotrexate drug substances.
This method is applicable to methotrexate APIs.
Principle of the method: The test product was dissolved in the mobile phase and quantitatively diluted, and then chromatographed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The peak area of methotrexate was detected at a wavelength of 302 nm using a UV absorption detector, and its content was calculated.
Reagent: 1. Acetonitrile
2. 7.0% citric acid solution
3. 2.0% anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate solution
Equipment: 1. Instrument
1.1 HPLC
1.2 Column
Octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel is used as a filler, and the number of theoretical plates should not be less than 1,000 calculated based on methotrexate peak.
1.3 UV absorption detector
Chromatographic conditions
2.1 Mobile phase: acetonitrile 7.0% citric acid solution 2.0% anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate solution = 10 10 80
2.2 Detection wavelength: 302nm
2.3 Column temperature: room temperature
Sample preparation: 1. Preparation of reference solution
Accurately weigh an appropriate amount of the methotrexate reference substance, add the mobile phase to dissolve and quantitatively dilute it to a solution containing about 0.1 mg per 1 mL, which is the reference solution.
2. Preparation of test solution
Accurately weigh the appropriate amount of the test product, add the mobile phase to dissolve and quantitatively dilute it to a solution containing about 0.1 mg of methotrexate per 1 mL, which is the test solution.
Note: "Precision weighing" means that the weighed weight should be accurate to one thousandth of the weighed weight. "Precision measurement" means that the accuracy of measuring the volume should meet the accuracy requirements of the volume pipette in national standards.
Operation steps: Precisely draw 10 mL of each of the reference solution and the test solution, inject them into a high-performance liquid chromatograph, and use a UV absorption detector to measure the peak area of methotrexate (C20H22N8O5) at a wavelength of 302 nm and calculate its content.
