A sensitive, specific, precise, and cost-effective ultra-performance liquid chromatography to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique for analyzing dipyridamole and its associated impurities was developed and validated. A high-strength silica T3 column (100 × 3 mm, 3.5 µ) was used as a stationary phase for chromatographic separation, and a mobile phase of 1% acetic acid in water (A) and acetonitrile (B) was delivered in gradient with a flow rate of 0.6 ml/ minute for sample injected at 5 µl volume with diode array detection at 200-400 nm. Analytes were ionized for mass spectrometric detection, utilizing a positive-polarity ESCi source with a Q-TOF-MS analytical range of 50-1,500 m/z. The developed method was validated in accordance with the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA's) analytical method validation requirements and was proven to be successful in resolving dipyridamole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
