Several related substances (RS4-RS10) were detected in lopinavir drug substance at levels ranging from 0.03% to 0.1% by employing gradient RP-HPLC. The related substances were identified by LC-MS analysis. These related substances were isolated and characterized by Mass, H-1 NMR and FT-IR spectral data. The separation was achieved on a YMC Pack ODS-AQ(250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 mu m) column thermostated at 45 degrees C using 0.02 M KH2 PO4 (pH 2.5): acetonitrile as a mobile phase in gradient elution mode. A PDA detector set at 210 nm was used for detection. The investigated validation elements showed the method has acceptable specificity, accuracy, linearity, precision, robustness and high sensitivity with detection limits and quantitation limits ranging from 0.028 mu g/ml to 0.063 mu g/ml and 0.084 mu g/ml to 0.192 mu g/ml respectively. The method can be used for routine quality control analysis and stability testing of lopinavir drug substance. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
