Background: Non-conventional yeasts hold significant potential as biorefinery cell factories for microbial bioproduction. Currently, gene editing systems used for these yeasts rely on antibiotic and auxotrophic selection mechanisms. However, the drawbacks of antibiotics, including high costs, environmental concerns, and the dissemination of resistance genes, make them unsuitable for large-scale industrial fermentation.

Cloperastine hydrochloride, a piperidine derivative, is a drug substance with a central antitussive effect and widely used in cough treatment; and its impurities have not been reported. Herein we isolated and identified five impurities (named as impurity A, B, C, D and E) in cloperastine hydrochloride bulk drug and developed a quantitative HPLC method. First, impurity A, B, C were enriched by ODS column chromatography and isolated by semi-preparative HPLC, at the same time, impurity D was purified by ODS column chromatography.
