摘要

Background

Prefilled syringes are commonly used in pharmaceutical products; however, volatile organic compounds leaching from plastic or elastomeric components can pose potential health risks. A sensitive and specific GC-FID method was developed and validated for the determination of volatile organic compounds in Sumatriptan Injection (6 mg/0.5 mL).

Methodology

The method targets a mixture of volatile organic compounds with boiling points ranging from 40 °C to 225 °C. Separation was achieved using an HP-5-MS column, with a temperature program of 10 °C/min for the first 10 min and 25 °C/min thereafter. Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas (25 mL/min), with hydrogen (30 mL/min) and zero air (300 mL/min) for flame generation.

Results

The method demonstrated high linearity (r2> 0.99), with a limit of quantification of 0.060 ppm. The Limit of Quantification accuracy and precision ranged from 77.83% to 115.55% and ≤ 4.88% RSD, respectively. Accuracy at 50%, 100%, and 150% concentration levels ranged from 94.26–105.21%, 93.78–97.68%, and 89.56–94.49%, respectively, while precision (%RSD) at these levels ranged from 1.98–2.65%, 1.75–2.32%, and 0.16–0.50%, respectively.

Conclusions

The validated GC-FID method is accurate, precise and highly sensitive for detecting trace-level VOCs in parenteral formulations. With excellent linearity and reproducibility, it is well-suited for risk assessment and ensuring the quality and safety of injectable drug products such as Sumatriptan Injection.
