Popis: Identification of degradants of pharmaceuticals is a necessary challenge of the drug development process following the subjection of candidate molecules to a variety of physico-chemical stresses. It would be desirable to be able to conduct such studies on a minimal amount of material. As a prototypical study, the isolation and identification of degradants of a sample of the complex indoloquinoline alkaloid, cryptospirolepine, was undertaken after prolonged storage in DMSO solution using a combination of cryogenic NMR probe technology and CASE (Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation) programs. None of the starting alkaloid remained after storage; a chromatogram of the DMSO solution demonstrated the presence of >25 components in the mixture. The two most abundant degradation products were identified as the known alkaloid cryptolepinone (∼35%) and an unprecedented rearrangement product, DP-2, (∼16%).
