OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of related substances in bifonazole raw material. METHODS: HPLC method was performed on the column of Kromasil C18 with mobile phase of methanol-0.02 mol/L phosphoric acid (adjusted pH to 7.5 with triethylamine)(70 ∶ 30,V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, detection wavelength was 258 nm, volume injection was 20 μl,and the column temperature was 40 ℃. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.05-0.25 μg/ml for bifonazole(r=0.999 6),0.05-0.25 μg/ml for impurity A (bifonol)(r=0.999 7) and 0.05-0.25 μg/ml for impurity B (4-C isomer)(r=0.999 5); the detection limits were 8.2 ng/ml, 7.5 ng/ml and 8.4 ng/ml, and the quantification limits were 27.1 ng/ml, 24.7 ng/ml and 27.8 ng/ml, respectively; RSDs of precision and reproducibility tests were lower than 1%; recovery of impurity B was 95.13%-101.29%(RSD=1.89%,n=9); both impurity A and impurity B were were detected in the 3 batches of samples. CONCLUSIONS: The method is accurate, sensitive and reproducible, and can be used for the determination of the related substances in bifonazole raw material.
