Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant macrolactam of fermentative origin. By means of HPLC, LC-MS and NMR analyses, coupled with the reference standard synthesis, the main impurities of tacrolimus bulk drug samples were identified and their chemical-physical properties reported. Known ascomycin and tautomers I and II were detected. The correct relative retention time HPLC value of 39,40-dihydro tacrolimus was established. The not described 23,24-anhydro derivative was detected and completely characterized. A full characterization of ascomycin and 39,40-dihydro tacrolimus was also reported.

Objective: This research aims to elucidate critical impurities in process validation batches of tacrolimus injection formulations, focusing on identification and characterization of previously unreported impurity at RRT 0.42, identified as the tacrolimus alcohol adduct. The potential root causes for the formation of new impurity was determined using structured risk assessment by cause and effect fishbone diagram.

Tacrolimus is an important immunosuppressant produced by microbial fermentation. In this study, a modified nanoscale polymeric adsorbent, Ag-exchanged resin, was prepared and studied for the preparative separation and purification of tacrolimus from fermentation broth of Streptomyces tsukubaensis. The performance and absorption characteristics of the modified nanoscale polymeric adsorbent namely Ag-NPS was evaluated.

FK520 (ascomycin), a 23-membered macrolide with immunosuppressive activity, is produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The problem of low yield and high impurities (mainly FK523) limits the industrialized production of FK520. In this study, the FK520 yield was significantly improved by strain mutagenesis and genetic engineering.

An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination of tacrolimus impurities in pharmaceutical dosage forms has been developed. Appropriate chromatographic separation was achieved on a BEH C18 column using gradient elution with a total run time of 14 min. The method was applied to analyses of commercial samples and was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.
