Objective The purpose of this study is to adopt headspace gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection to simultaneously quantify the residual levels of ether,tetrahydrofuran,methanol,dichloromethane,ethanol,acetonitrile,pyridine and N,N-dimethylformamide in thymopentin.Methods A DB-WAX capillary column(30 m×0.32 mm× 1.00 μm)was utilized.The temperature program initiated at 40 ℃,held for 4 minutes,then ramped up at a rate of 10 ℃/min to 200 ℃ and maintained for 3 minutes.The injector temperature was 230 ℃.A flame ionization detector was employed,with the temperature at 250 ℃.High purity nitrogen gas served as the carrier gas,with a flow rate of 4mL/min.The injection method was split mode,with a split ratio of 10:1.The headspace vial equilibration temperature was 120℃,with an equilibration time of 30 minutes and a sample volume of 1.0mL.Results The method showed good linearity(r>0.997)for the quantification of 8 different residual solvents within a certain concentration range.The quantitation limits for solvents above were 1.5,0.1,0.5,0.6,0.8,4.1,0.6 and 4.4 μg/mL.The average recovery rates were 92.9%,108.4%,106.0%,102.4%,107.5%,109.2%,107.8%and 91.2%,with RSD values were 4.1%,2.8%,1.0%,1.9%,1.1%,1.1%,0.6%和 1.7%,respectively.Conclusion The method is accurate and stable,and it can be used for the determination of 8 residual solvents in thymopentin for injection raw material.
