The aim of this study was to identify the chemical structure of the photodegradation products of furosemide in a water–acetonitrile mixture (1 : 1). Furosemide solution was irradiated with a D65 fluorescent lamp and the products were isolated by preparative HPLC. The fractions were evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The purity of the photodegradation products was measured by HPLC. The purity of products 1, 3, and 4 was greater than 90%, whereas that of product 2 was 13%, therefore, photodegradation product 2 was unstable. We identified photodegradation products 1 and 3 as 4-chloro-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid and 4-hydroxy-N-furfuryl-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid, respectively, by LC/MS and NMR. Additionally, we assumed that photodegradation product 4 was methyl 2-((furan-2-ylmethyl)amino)-4-hydroxy-3-(methyleneamino)-5-sulfamoylbenzoate by LC/MS and NMR. This showed that furosemide underwent hydrolysis and substitution, and reacted with the acetonitrile under the light of a D65 fluorescent lamp. We were furthermore able to determine the elution times of the photodegradation products of furosemide by applying the Japanese Pharmacopoeia chromatographic method for related substances to the isolated products.
本研究的目的是确定水-乙腈混合物 (1 : 1) 中呋塞米光降解产物的化学结构。用D65荧光灯照射呋塞米溶液,通过制备型HPLC分离产物。将级分真空蒸发至干。通过HPLC测量光降解产物的纯度。产物1、3、4的纯度均大于90%,而产物2的纯度为13%,因此光降解产物2不稳定。我们通过LC/MS和NMR鉴定光降解产物1和3分别为4-氯-5-氨磺酰邻氨基苯甲酸和4-羟基-N-糠基-5-氨磺酰邻氨基苯甲酸。此外,通过LC/MS和NMR,我们假设光降解产物4是2-((呋喃-2-基甲基)氨基)-4-羟基-3-(亚甲基氨基)-5-氨磺酰基苯甲酸甲酯。这表明呋塞米在D65荧光灯的照射下发生水解和取代,并与乙腈发生反应。此外,我们还通过对分离产物应用日本药典相关物质色谱方法测定了呋塞米光降解产物的洗脱时间。
