High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination
A liquid chromatograph, fitted with a pulse-free pump and a UV detector has used. The injection was performed by a valve with an injection loop as given by autosamplers Commercial microparticulate bonded resins on a silica basis was used. A guard column was positioned between the injection system and the analytical column
HPLC grade methanol, distilled water and citrate buffer were used to prepare the eluting solvent, which was degassed before use lsocratic elution was employed. No additives such as ion pair reagents were used, because they would change the properties of the stationary phase Since these changes may be irreversible. The column was never used with additives. before Because the test substance contains protonable functional groups the use of buffer solution to stabilise pH was
recommended

The samples were directly injected from methanol solution. The method was based on the following parameters:
Pump: Waters 600E
Injector: Waters WISP 717
Detector: Waters 486
Column specification: Hypersil-CPS, 5 µm. 220 x 40 mm including precolumn
Column temperature: 20˚C
Injection volume: 10 µL for the reference substances, 20 µL for the test substances
Detection wavelength: 223 nm for the reference substances, 276 nm for the test substance
Mobile phase: Methanol / 0.1 M citrate-buffer pH 6.0 (60 / 40; v / v)
Flow rate: 1 mL/min

Solutes
The test and reference compounds were the purest available. Compounds used for the test or calibration purposes were dissolved in methanol, a solvent also part of the mobile phase To minimise effects of pure methanol on the column, the injection volume was 10 µL for the reference substances and 20 µl for the test substance at each injection, only.

Test Conditions
The measurements was performed at 20˚C in a temperature controlled room

determined log K., values were within the limits of the method for the impurity assigned . The log Koc value of the major compound of the test substance was out of the limits ofthe method and estimated to be >5.0.

Determination of Dead Time t₀

The dead time of the chromatographic system was determined by injection of 10 uL

Thiourea. The solution had a concentration of 1/1000 of a saturated solution prepared by dissolving thiourea in the mobile phase of the chromatographic system.

The retention times were as follows.

Dead time of chromatographic system

Standard deviation	0.0

The mean value was taken for the calculation of calibration curves

 

Retention Times of Reference Substances

Calculation of the Adsorption/Desorption Coefficient of ANOX BF

The parameters of calibration curve were taken for the calculation of log Koc value ANOX BF I

 

log Koc value calculated from calibration curve

Name	GAB-Code	K^1determined	Log Koc Calculated	Confidence limits +/-
ANOX BF I	97151	1.01	3.11	0.19
		1.02	3.12	0.19
		1.02	3.12	0.19
		1.03	3.13	0.19

The single determinations did not give any significant variation in calculated log koc values from determination to determination. The confidence limits indicate that the determined log Koc values were within the limits of the method for the impurity assigned as ANOX BF I. The log Koc value of major compound of the test substance was out of the limits of the method and estimated to be > 5 0.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The log Koc value of ANOX BF is above 5.0. Only log Koc value for the impurity, represented by peak I could be determined to be 3.12 by this method.
