The stability of solutions of esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-2′-methyl-1′,4′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids was investigated by HPLC. The corresponding esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-4,4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acids,esters of 8-cyano-5-methyl-3-oxo-7-(4-pyridyl)-2,3-dihydro-7H-thiazolo-[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids, methyl 3-amino-2-carbamoyl-6-methyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-4,7-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate, and methyl 3-amino-2-carbamoyl-6-methyl-4-(4-pyridyl)-thieno[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxylate were synthesized as standard compounds (typical impurities).

It was established that solutions of the investigated compounds (with mixtures of acetonitrile with phosphate buffer, having pH values of not less than 3 and not more than 5, as solvents) are stable for one month when the solutions are stored in a place protected against light. It is also necessary to use chromatographic systems in which the aqueous components have pH 3–5 during determination of the purity of the esters of 6′-carbamoylmethylthio-5′-cyano-2′-methyl-1′,4′-dihydro-4, 4′-bipyridine-3′-carboxylic acid by HPLC in order to separate the analyzed sorbates and their typical impurities more completely. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 841–848, June, 2007.
