A new ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography (UHPSFC) method was developed to solve the difficult separation problem of various biogenic amines (BAs) in gentamicin. The method achieved complete separation of 10 BAs using dansyl chloride derivatization and UHPSFC system. It demonstrated high sensitivity and accuracy, and met the quantification limits required for impurity determination.
In order to solve the problem of difficult separation of various biogenic amines (BAs), which have similar structures or very different polarities, in gentamicin, by conventional liquid chromatography, a new ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography (UHPSFC) method was developed. In this method, 10 BAs were derivatized precolumn using dansyl chloride and separated using a UHPSFC system. By computational simulation, complete separation of 10 BAs was successfully achieved. Detection was performed using a photodiode array (PDA) and single-quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) together with electrospray ionization (ESI). A wide linear range (10-2500 ng/mL) was achieved, with the limits of detection (LODs) between 1.2 and 10.0 ng/mL and the limits of quantification (LOQs) between 5.0 and 25.0 ng/mL. Apart from high sensitivity, this UHPSFC-PDA/ESI-MS detection method also displayed high accuracy, the matrix effect was reduced by an appreciable extent, and the recovery rates of the 10 BAs were between 84.1 and 117.1%. For comparison, high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was also used for the detection of underivatized BAs in gentamicin, showing good linearity and high sensitivity (LODs from 0.05 to 1.00 ng/mL and LOQs from 1.00 to 12.50 ng/mL) for all BAs except for spermine and spermidine. Although single-quadrupole MS is inferior to MS/MS in terms of sensitivity, the UHPSFC method could detect more BAs. It also achieved the quantification limits required for impurity determination, demonstrating a potential strategy to offer a map overview of possible BA presence in fermentation antibiotics.
