This paper describes the separation of the main component micronomicin from its related substances using a new established liquid chromatographic method with pulsed electrochemical detection (LC-PED). The mobile phase consists of 1 volume of acetonitrile and 99 volumes of an aqueous solution containing 1.25% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid, 0.

The characterization of impurities present in vertilmicin by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) is described. A reversed phase (RP)-LC method using a C18 column resistant to basic pH with an alkaline (pH 11) aqueous mobile phase was developed and coupled to MS with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ion mode which provides MS(n) capability. In total, 18 impurities were detected in a commercial sample.

The characterization of impurities present in micronomicin sulfate injection by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) is described. A reversed phase (RP)-LC method using a C₁₈ column resistant to an alkaline (pH 11) aqueous mobile phase was developed and coupled to MS with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ion mode which provides MS(n) capability. A total of thirty six impurities were detected in commercial samples: five impurities were identified by comparison of their fragmentation patterns with those of available related substances, eleven of them were identified in accordance with relevant literature, while the other twenty impurities were newly identified using the MS/MS spectra of the available related reference substances as interpretative templates combined with knowledge of the nature of functional group fragmentation behaviors.

A reversed phase (RP)-LC method using a C(18) column resistant to basic pH and an alkaline (pH 10) aqueous mobile phase was developed and coupled to MS with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in the positive ion mode which provides MS(n) capability. In total, 26 impurities were detected in a commercial sample. The structures of the impurities were proposed based on comparison of their fragmentation patterns with those of the available reference substances, the synthetic route and literature data.

Application of HPLC-ESI-ITMS in the quality control of carboxyterminal sequence confirmation for insulin and insulin chain B was studied. The solution of intact insulin or insulin chain B was added to the solution of carboxypeptidase P (CPP) and carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). Fractions of appropriate volume were removed at some appointed time points, acidified with the same amount of 1% formic acid to stop the digestion, and then briefly vortexed for HPLC-ESI-ITMS analysis.
