Quality control of peptide drugs. Chiral amino acid analysis versus standard for icatibant acetate.
A method of chiral amino acid analysis versus standard is presented. By treating the peptide sample and a chiral standard whose intrinsic chiral composition is known in the same way, i.e. simultaneous hydrolysation and analysis, exact corrections can be made for the sequence-related and many hydrolysation-related racemisations. The accuracy obtained in this way permits use of the results for quality control of the chiral purity of peptide drugs. Using the bradykinin antagonist Icatibant acetate (INNM) the method was validated with respect to its precision, accuracy, specificity, limit of detection, and robustness.
