Six potential process related impurities were detected during the impurity profile study of an antiarrhythmic drug substance, Dronedarone (1). Simple high performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods were used for the detection of these process impurities. Based on the synthesis and spectral data (MS, IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and DEPT), the structures of these impurities were characterized as 5-amino-3-[4-(3-di-n-butylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]-2-n-butylbenzofuran (impurity I); N-(2-butyl-3-(4-(3-(dibutylamino)propoxy)benzoyl)benzofuran-5-yl)-N-(methylsulfonyl)methanesulfonamide (impurity II); N-(2-butyl-3-(4-(3-(dibutylamino)propoxy)benzoyl)benzofuran-5-yl)-1-chloromethanesulfonamide (impurity III); N-2-propyl-3-[4-(3-dibutylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]benzofuran-5-yl}-methanesulfonamide (impurity IV); N-(2-butyl-3-(4-(3(dibutylamino)propoxy)benzoyl)benzofuran-5-yl)-formamide (impurity V); and (2-butyl-5-((3-(dibutylamino)propyl)amino)benzofuran-3-yl)(4-(3-(dibutylamino)propoxy)phenyl)methanone (impurity VI). The synthesis and characterization of these impurities are discussed in detail.
