A validated LC method for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of aliskiren hemifumarate in bulk drug samples.
High-performance liquid chromatography enantioseparation of aliskiren hemifumarate was accomplished on an immobilized-type Chiralpak IC chiral stationary phase under both polar organic and reversed-phase modes. A simple analytical method was developed and validated using a mixture of acetonitrile-n-butylamine 100:0.1 (v/v/) as a mobile phase with a flow rate maintained at 1.0 mL/min. Ultraviolet detection was carried out at 228 nm. Resolution between the two enantiomers was greater than 3.0. This method was capable of detecting the R-isomer to a level of 0.2 μg/mL. The method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and found to be robust. The method is very useful for routine evaluation of the quality of aliskiren hemifumarate in bulk drug manufacturing units.
