Abstract

Objective: To establish a liquid-liquid extraction method for the determination of genotoxic impurities N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine(NDEA) in chondroitin sulfate sodium by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Methods: The chromatographic column was Thermo TG WAXMS (30 m × 0.25 mm,0.25 μm). The column temperature was maintained at 40 ℃ for 1 min, increased to 240 ℃ at 25 ℃·min-1 and maintained for 2 min. The inlet temperature was 220 ℃. The carrier gas was high-purity helium, and the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. The ion source of mass spectrometry was EI source. The electron energy was 70 eV. The ion source temperature was 280 ℃ and the transmission line temperature was 240 ℃. Injection volume was 1 μL. Results: The LOD of NDMA was 0.64 ng·mL-1. Experiment showed a good linear relationship between peak area and concentration in the range of 4-16 ng·mL-1, and the correlation r was 0.999 3. The LOD of NDEA was 0.176 ng·mL-1 with a good linear relationship between peak area and concentration within the range of 1.1-4.4 ng·mL-1. The correlation r was 0.999 6. NDMA and NDEA were not detected in chondroitin sulfate sodium. Conclusion: The method is simple, specific and can be used to determine the genotoxic impurities NDMA and NDEA in chondroitin sulfate sodium.
