OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the determination of related substances in lorcaserin hydrochloride. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Welch ultimate XB-ODS column with mobile phase consisted of Sodium dihydrogen phosphate(pH=6.5)-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 220 nm, and column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges of impurity 1, 2, 3 were 0.075 60-7.560 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), 0.081 40-8.140 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), 0.099 24-9.924 μg/mL(r=0.999 9), respectively. The limits of quantification were 0.075 60, 0.081 40, 0.099 25 μg/mL. The limits of detection were 0.022 68, 0.024 42, 0.029 77 μg/mL. RSD of precision test was lower than 2.0%. Impurity 1 was found in stability test and reproducibility test,RSD<2.0%. The recoveries were 98.53%-102.45%(RSD=1.06%,n=9), 98.26%-101.64%(RSD=1.03%,n=9), 100.08%-102.10%(RSD=0.70%,n=9), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The method is sensitive, rapid, accurate and reliable, which can be used to determine the related substances of lorcaserin hydrochloride.
