Rationale: The polymerized impurities in oxacillin sodium can induce allergic reaction, which can seriously threaten the health of patients. Gel filtration chromatography (GFC) is currently widely used for the analysis of polymerized impurities, but it has drawbacks. To effectively control the polymerized impurities in oxacillin sodium, a high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) method and a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method were established to replace the classical GFC method.

Methods: By studying the chromatographic behavior of polymerized impurities and small molecular weight impurities in both methods with different chromatographic separation mechanisms, the polymerized impurities in oxacillin sodium were separated and detected effectively. Column-switching two-dimensional liquid chromatography was applied to eluted polymerized impurities from the HPSEC method for oxacillin sodium. Ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometry was applied to characterize the structures of polymerized impurities and unknown impurities eluted from the HPSEC/RP-HPLC method for oxacillin sodium.

Results: The structures of 25 unknown impurities in oxacillin sodium were elucidated based on the high-resolution mass data. Thirteen polymerized impurities were found and characterized. The corresponding relationship of impurities between the two methods was established and the specificity of the two methods was compared. The RP-HPLC method for analysis of the polymerized impurities not only has higher column efficiency and more specificity than the HPSEC method, but also higher sensitivity.

Conclusions: The mechanisms of the formation of degradation impurities in oxacillin sodium were studied. The newly established RP-HPLC methods could effectively separate and detect polymerized impurities and unknown impurities in oxacillin sodium. The study of the impurity profile in oxacillin sodium provided a scientific basis for the improvement of official monographs in pharmacopoeias.

In situ polymerization strategies hold great promise for enhancing the physical interfacial stability in solid-state batteries, yet (electro)chemical degradation of polymerized interfaces, especially at high voltages, remains a critical challenge. Herein, we find interphase engineering is crucial for the polymerization process and polymer stability and pioneer an in situ polymerization-fluorination (Poly-FR) strategy to create durable interfaces with excellent physical and (electro)chemical stabilities, achieved by designing a bifunctional initiator for both polymerization and on-surface lithium donor reactions. The integrated in situ fluorination converts LiCO impurities on LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) surfaces into LiF-rich interphases, effectively inhibiting the aggressive (de)lithiation intermediates and protecting the interface from underlying chemical degradation, thereby surpassing the stability limitations of polymerization alone.

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technická 3, Prague 6, Dejvice 166 28, Czech Republic.

The choice of method for drug amorphization depends on various factors, including the physicochemical properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredients, the desired formulation, and scalability requirements. It is often important to consider a combination of methods or the use of excipients to further enhance the stability and performance of the amorphous drug. This study presents a comparison of techniques including melt quench, hot melt extrusion, solvent evaporation, ball milling, and lyophilization used for the preparation of amorphous ibrutinib.
