Abstract
Efonidipine HCl Ethanolate is an antihypertensive drug with 1,4 dihydropyridine and phosphinane derivative. Forceddegradation study was performed in Efonidipine as per the guidelines by International Conference on Harmonization(ICH) Q1A (R2). Extensive degradation and slight degradation were observed in alkaline and photolytic conditions,respectively, whereas acidic, oxidative, and thermal conditions did not show any degradation. Degradation productswere separated on Thermo Hypersil BDS C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µ), mobile phase in gradient mode usingammonium acetate buffer and acetonitrile with detection at a wavelength of 254 nm. Six degradation products in alkalinecondition and four degradation products in photolytic condition were identified by HPLC and characterized by massspectrometry using LC-Q-TOF-MS, and degradation pathway was proposed. This is the typical case of degradation,where co-solvent methanol reacts with Efonidipine to form pseudo degradation products such as DP1, DP4, DP5, andDP6. Three degradation products DP1, DP3, and DP4 in alkaline condition were isolated by preparative HPLC andwere characterized by LC-Q-TOF-MS, 1H/13C NMR, and IR techniques. By characterization with these techniques,DP1 is characterized as 3-2-(N-benzylanilino)ethyl 3-oxo-2,2-dimethylpropyl hydrogen 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl) pyridin-3-yl-3-phosphonate, DP3 is characterized as 2-(N-benzyl-N-phenylamino) ethanol, and DP4is characterized as 3-methoxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl hydrogen 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-5-methyloxycarbonyl-4-(3-nitro)phenylpyridin-3-yl-3-phosphonate. The developed method was validated as per guidelines by ICH with respectto linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, and robustness.
