Synthesis and characterization of Rosuvastatin calcium impurity A; a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

During the process development for multistep synthesis of Rosuvastatin calcium several impurities were obtained along with the final Rosuvastatin calcium. Out of this; synthesis of impurity A (acetone adduct) a minor impurity of Rosuvastatin calcium (3R,5S,6E)-7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[[(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)sulfonyl(methyl)amino]-6-(1-methylethyl)-pyrimidin-5-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptenoicacid hemicalcium salt, is described. The synthesis of impurity A has been accomplished in 6 steps; starting from formation of β-hydroxy sulfonamide as the key intermediate and followed by using convenient routes with overall yield of 13.5%. The target compound can be used as the reference substance of impurity of the Rosuvastatin calcium.     

Energetic stability of boron nitride nanostructures doped with one carbon atom

We have investigated, using first‐principles calculations, the role of a substitutional carbon atom on the geometric stability of boron nitride monolayers, nanotubes, and nanocones. It is shown that the formation of energy depends on the number of atoms for the monolayers and on the diameter for the tubes. It is also found, for the carbon‐doped boron nitride nanotubes, that the value for the strain energy approaches the one obtained for nondoped tubes with increasing diameter. For the structural stability, we have verified that the doping, which introduces an excess of nitrogen or boron, makes each structure more favorable in its reverse atmosphere, i.e., excess of nitrogen is more stable in a boron‐rich growth environment, whereas excess of boron is preferred in a nitrogen‐rich condition. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of trace embedded impurities in thin multilayer structures using synchrotron X‐ray standing waves

X‐ray standing wave (XSW) field generated under Bragg reflection condition in a periodic Mo/Si multilayer structure has been used to determine the concentration and location of various trace element contaminants embedded in different layers of that multilayer structure. We have used intense synchrotron X rays for XSW analysis. It is observed that various trace element impurities such as Cr, Fe, Ni and W get embedded unintentionally in the multilayer structure during the deposition process. Consequences of such impurity incorporation on the optical properties of the multilayer structure are discussed in hard and soft X‐ray regions. Present measurements are important in order to optimize the deposition methods on one hand and to better correlate the measured optical properties of a multilayer structure with theoretical models on the other.

Resonant States in High-Temperature Superconductors with Impurities

A microscopic theory of resonant states for the Zn-doped CuO₂ plane in the superconducting phase is formulated in the effective t–J model. In the model derived from the original p–d model, Zn impurities are considered as vacancies for the d states at Cu sites. In the superconducting phase, in addition to the local static perturbation induced by the vacancy, a dynamical perturbation appears that results in a frequency-dependent perturbation matrix. Using the T-matrix formalism for the Green's functions in terms of the Hubbard operators, we calculate the local density of electronic states with d, p, and s symmetries.

The process of formation of a radiating discharge cloud in the case of a diffusion mechanism of impurity exit to the surface of a molten small-weight sample is considered. An analytical expression describing the behavior of the relative rate of impurity entry into a discharge is obtained.     

金刚石表面杂质的深度分布

 利用二次离子质谱法（SIMS）测量和分析了金刚石的表面杂质。为获得表面杂质的深度分布，采用了离子剥蚀法，用15 keV的Ar⁺总共剥蚀了6 400 s，以N、Na、Mg和Si四种杂质作为研究对象。结果表明，各种杂质的浓度最大值均位于最外表面的一薄层内，它相当于剥蚀时间不足6.5 min。对于某一给定的杂质，在不同样品的最外表面上的浓度可以相差很悬殊。但当Ar⁺剥蚀30 min以后，不同样品中的浓度相差不大，且同一样品中，各种杂质的浓度随剥蚀时间的增大（即随深度的增加）变化不大。     

Influence of selected mobile phase properties on the TLC retention behavior of ziprasidone and its impurities

ABSTRACT

Influence of nine different solvents, either alone or in a mixture, on the retention behavior of ziprasidone and its five impurities were examined by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography. Migration distances of the examined compounds obtained under the examined chromatographic conditions were correlated with calculated mobile phase properties, such as Snyder polarity and Hansen solubility. Linear or second-order polynomial relationships with high correlation coefficients were established between investigated variables. The obtained mathematical functions and statistical results indicated that selected mobile phase properties can be used for the prediction of the retention behavior of ziprasidone and its five impurities.     

Evolution of regulatory aspects of genotoxic impurities in pharmaceuticals: Survival of the fittest

The genotoxic impurities (GIs) are carcinogenic hence its management during synthesis of pharmaceuticals is very important to be detected even in trace level for the safe use of the drugs. The presence of drug substance/drug product DNA-reactive impurities poses a significant problem for drug regulators as well as industry. There are several regulatory guidelines and position papers focused on controlling the amount of impurities within the specified limits. The present compilation gives an account of updated information about GIs and reviews the regulatory aspects for GIs in active pharmaceutical ingredients/drug formulations. A detailed discussion about control strategies in the context of GIs is also described precisely. The analysis of GIs is a challenging and complex aspect of the drug development process. Control and determination of these impurities at ppm or ppb levels are significant challenges for analysts, therefore the approaches for the analysis of GIs have also been discussed.     

The use of online heart‐cutting high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry in the identification of impurities in vidarabine monophosphate

It is difficult to identify unknown impurities in nucleotide analogues by mass spectrometry because mass‐spectrometry‐incompatible mobile phases need to be used to separate the major ingredient from impurities. In this study, vidarabine monophosphate was selected, and unknown impurities were identified by online heart‐cutting two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography and linear ion trap mass spectrometry. The one‐dimensional reversed‐phase column was filled with a mobile phase containing nonvolatile salt. In two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography, we used an Acclaim Q1 column with volatile salt, and the detection wavelength was 260 nm. The mass spectrum was scanned in positive‐ and negative‐ion mode. The online heart‐cutting and online demineralization technique ensured that the mobile phase was compatible with mass spectrometry; seven impurities were identified by MS² and MS³ fragments. The mass fragmentation patterns of these impurities were investigated. The two isomers were semiprepared and complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance. The results were further compared with those of normal‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The online heart‐cutting two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry was superior in identifying more impurities. The method solves the problem of incompatibility between the mobile phase and mass spectrometry, so it is suitable for identifying unknown impurities. This method may also be used for investigating impurities in other nucleotide analogues.
