Popis: The impurity profile of production batches of fluorine-containing drugs can be characterised efficiently using F-19 NMR spectroscopy. This yields the number and proportions of impurities in the bulk drug to a level of approximate to 0.1 mole% in a few minutes of NMR experiment time. The approach has been exemplified using a partially purified batch of the steroidal product fluticasone propionate, the impurities in which include a number of dimeric species. Further distinction between the monomer and dimer impurities has been achieved through high resolution chemical shift-resolved NMR measurement of molecular diffusion coefficients on the intact mixture using F-19 NMR spectroscopy. The ability of NMR-based diffusion coefficient determination to distinguish between monomeric and dimeric substances was validated using a standard mixture of authentic materials containing both monomers and dimers.
