Case 2: Unknown Impurity Investigation in Pharmaceutical Formulation
Industry Background
A pharmaceutical company detected an unexpected degradation peak during stability testing of an API formulation, raising concerns for regulatory submission.
Problem Description
- Unknown impurity peak detected in HPLC analysis
- Impurity level increased over time
- Mechanism of degradation unclear
- Risk of delaying IND submission
Analytical Approach
A comprehensive structural elucidation strategy was implemented:
- LC-MS/MS: Molecular weight and fragmentation analysis
- NMR spectroscopy: Structural confirmation
- HPLC-DAD: Purity separation profiling
- Stress testing under heat, light, and oxidative conditions
Key Findings
- Impurity originated from ester bond hydrolysis of the API
- Main degradation product identified as structurally similar intermediate
- Certain buffering excipients accelerated degradation via pH shift
Solution Provided
- Adjusted formulation pH to a stability-optimized range
- Replaced buffering system
- Introduced stabilizing excipients
Project Outcome
- Impurity level reduced to <0.3% (within ICH Q3B limits)
- Stability period extended to 24 months
- Successful regulatory submission supported
Case 3: Industrial Lubricant Contamination and Failure Root Cause Analysis
Industry Background
An industrial equipment manufacturer experienced abnormal darkening and viscosity loss in high-temperature lubrication systems, resulting in increased mechanical wear.
Problem Description
