RESUMEN

For the robust analysis of N,N-Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), its derivatization into a more stable compound may be needed. Herein, the reaction of CDI with N-benzylmethylamine followed by LC-UV quantitative analysis was explored. Reaction conditions as well as LC method feasibility were demonstrated by qualification of selectivity from other impurities and reagents, linearity across a range of 0.05-0.15%w/w, spike and recovery across a range of 0.05-0.15%w/w, reaction reproducibility with various samples, reagents and analytical chemists, and sample stability of over 24 h. Rapid and quantitative derivatization of residual CDI was achieved at 0.1% w/w relative to the synthetic product under consideration. A fit-for-purpose limit test using a RPLC-UV method as an in-process control for the reaction completion of product, at scale, was successfully implemented and executed.

RESUMEN

Chirality control plays a critical role in developing stereoisomeric drugs. Due to the complexity and lack of predictability in chiral separations, column screening remains the gold standard to initiate chiral method development for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and synthetic intermediates. Chiral reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography (LC) has gained favor over other modes due to its versatility and compatibility in analyzing a wide range of chiral compounds in various matrices. Herein, we established a tier-based chiral RPLC screen strategy by constructing and analyzing a database of 101 chiral screens with a total of 3,401 entries (unique LC runs) for proprietary APIs or intermediates at Bristol Myers Squibb. Up to 17 polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and four mobile phases (MPs) have been screened with gradient elution. A selection of ten CSPs with two MPs was found sufficient to achieve successful separation for 82% of the total screens. Two RPLC screen tiers (Tier 1: AZ, OD, ID, and IG) and (Tier 2: AY, OJ, OZ, IA, IC, and IH) were proposed along with two MPs (acidic and neutral) to target ~70% hit rate for Tier 1, and ~80% for the combined set. We also implemented a user-friendly workflow to enable walk-up chiral RPLC screening with automated reports and system suitability tests.

RESUMEN

With the intent to provide aligned, impactful, and efficient strategies for liquid chromatography method development, tier-based stationary/mobile phase screening workflows have been implemented in the Chemical Process Development department at Bristol Myers Squibb. These workflows are utilized as tools that enable more rapid method generation for early to mid-stage clinical development programs. An illustrative example of applying this approach was the method development for 3-bromo-2-chloropyridine and six of its positional isomeric impurities. Several parameters (gradient time, flow rate, column geometry, particle size, temperature, and solvent effects) were evaluated to achieve a baseline resolved separation for this challenging mixture. The impact that the screening workflows have regarding timesavings, effort, and resourcing to develop and optimize this LC method will be discussed.

RESUMEN

J. Sep. Sci. 2016, 39, 3469-3476 A stationary phase containing an amide group embedded in a hydrophobic backbone (i.e., C18-amide) attached to silica particles was characterized by means of the linear solvation energy relationship model, which relates the chromatographic retention factor to specific solute interactions. The evaluationwas conducted under supercritical fluid chromatographic conditions using a mobile phase composition of carbon dioxide and methanol as co-solvent. The stationary phase showed to provide an alternate separation selectivity that is attractive to separate drug-like polar compounds in a relatively fast analysis time.

RESUMEN

A relatively new stationary phase containing a polar group embedded in a hydrophobic backbone (i.e., ACE®C18-amide) was evaluated for use in supercritical fluid chromatography. The amide-based column was compared with columns packed with bare silica, C18 silica, and a terminal-amide silica phase. The system was held at supercritical pressure and temperature with a mobile phase composition of CO2 and methanol as cosolvent. The linear solvation energy relationship model was used to evaluate the behavior of these stationary phases, relating the retention factor of selected probes to specific chromatographic interactions. A five-component test mixture, consisting of a group of drug-like molecules was separated isocratically. The results show that the C18 -amide stationary phase provided a combination of interactions contributing to the retention of the probe compounds. The hydrophobic interactions are favorable; however, the electron donating ability of the embedded amide group shows a large positive interaction. Under the chromatographic conditions used, the C18 -amide column was able to provide baseline resolution of all the drug-like probe compounds in a text mixture, while the other columns tested did not.
