METHODS FOR ANALYSIS AND RESOLUTION OF PREPARATIONS OF DIANHYDROGALACTITOL AND DERIVATIVES OR ANALOGS THEREOF

摘要

An improved analytical method for analysis of dianhydrogalactitol preparations provides a method for determining the purity of dianhydrogalactitol and detecting impurities in preparations of dianhydrogalactitol, as well as identifying any such impurities. The method employs high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), in particular, HPLC employing a reverse phase amide column with ELSD detection; the HPLC can be followed by tandem mass spectroscopy. The method can further comprise the step of performing preparative HPLC collection of at least one specific substance peak present in a preparation of dianhydrogalactitol.
