Cleaning Method Validation for Determination of Residues in Anti-Cancer Drug product for Injection by Using RP-HPLC Technique

Abstract

Cleaning method validation is a part of good practices in pharmaceutical sector and need to seek the contamination present in production area. OBJECTIVE: An RP-HPLC method for the cleaning samples analysis for Anti-Cancer Drug product Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection was develop and validated. The method was developed and validated for quantitation of Cleaning of residue left in the vessels of the production equipment’s. The analytical method used to determine the complete cleaning for Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection by HPLC method. METHOD: The Cleaning validation was performed on Inertsil ODS,C18,(150mm×4.6mm,5μm) chromatographic column temperature at 40°C, and the detection wavelength was set at 260nm. Mobile Phase-A:10mL ammonium acetate, 88mL Purified water, 10mL acetic acid, 2mL Triethylamine, and Mobile Phase-B: 1mL Buffer, 10mL acetonitrile,190mL Purified water, and at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min, and the injection volume was 10μL. RESULTS: The validation results of Melphalan Hydrochloride were linear over the concentration from 0.10 µg/mL to 0.75µg/mL (r = 1.00) and the recoveries from LOQ to 150% and precision ranged from 50% to 76% (RSD < 30%, n =9). CONCLUSION: This method has been validated successfully and all the results met the acceptance criteria. Hence method of Cleaning Validation is suitable for testing of residue sample of Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection.
