Thoughts on determination method of the related substances in halometasone/triclosan cream
Objective:To analyze the structure of the maximum impurity in halometasone/triclosan cream and discuss the rationality of the current registered standard for imported drugs.Methods:The related substances in halometasone/triclosan were detected according to JX20080304,and dioxins were determined according to USP.Finally,the possible structures of the maximum impurity were characterized by LC-Q TOF/MS.Results:The results showed that the maximum unknown impurity(RRT 0.67),calculated according to halometasone was OOS(1.0%)at 2.5%.The peak was related to triclosan through comparing with the chromatography behavior of triclosan in reference substance solution.MS information indicted the process impurities of triclosan.Conclusion:For compound preparations,to ensure the stability and safety of the product,the impurities relevant to different components should be controlled separately at rational limit based on safety data.
