| Popis: | Polysorbate 20 (polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate) and polysorbate 80 (polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate) used in protein drug formulations are complex mixtures that have been difficult to characterize. Here, two HPLC methods are used with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) and mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize polysorbate from commercial vendors. The first HPLC method used a mixed-mode stationary phase (Waters Oasis MAX, mixed-mode anion exchange and reversed-phase sorbent) with a step gradient to quantify both the total polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester and polyoxyethylene sorbitan (POE sorbitan, a non-surfactant) in polysorbate. The results indicated POE sorbitan was present from 16.0 to 27.6 and 11.1 to 14.5% (w/w) in polysorbate 20 and 80, respectively. The second HPLC method used a reversed-phase stationary phase (Zorbax SB-300 C(8)) with a shallow gradient to separate, identify, and quantify the multiple ester species present in polysorbate. For all lots of polysorbate 20 analyzed, only 18-23% of the material was the expected structure, polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate. Up to 40% and 70% (w/w) di- and triesters were found in polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 respectively. Likewise, polyoxyethylenesorbitan monooleate accounted for only 20% of polysorbate 80. A variability of 3-5% was observed for each ester species between multiple lots of polysorbate 20. The reversed-phase method was then used to determine the rate of hydrolysis for each polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester of polysorbate 20 in basic solution at room temperature. Increasing rates of hydrolysis were observed with decreasing aliphatic chain lengths in polysorbate 20. |
