Descripción

General description

Cinacalcet hydrochloride is an oral calcimimetic indicated for the treatment of secondary hyperthyroidism in patients on dialysis with end-stage renal disease, and in patients with parathyroid carcinoma to reduce hypercalcemia.

Analysis Note

The developed method on a Purospher^® STAR Phenyl, 150 × 4.6 mm (5µm) column was found to be linear for cinacalcet hydrochloride up to a concentration of 6 µg/mL with a LOQ of 0.65 µg/mL and LOD of 0.21 µg/mL. For cinacalcet impurity A, impurity B and impurity C, the method was linear up to a concentration of 1.8 µg/mL with LOQ ranging from 0.03 to 0.13 µg/mL and LOD ranging from 0.01 to 0.04 µg/mL. The method can be applied for the study of related substances in cinacalcet hydrochloride API using the Purospher^® STAR Phenyl HPLC column. Repeatability for the cinacalcet 5 µg/mL solution was 1.19% RSD (n=5). The tailing factor for cinacalcet eluting at 12.3 min was NMT 2.0 (1.31) and the theoretical plate count was significantly above 2000.
