BRIEFING
Bortezomib. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this drug substance, a new monograph based on validated
methods of analysis is proposed. The liquid chromatographic procedure used in the Assay and Organic Impurities test is based on
analyses performed using the Waters Symmetry C18 brand of column with L1 packing. The typical retention time for bortezomib is
about 10–14 min.

这个原料药是不稳定的,至少应该是冷冻保存
但是现在FDA草案里面就是室温密闭避光保存,我们自己按照草案那样保存,稳定性一个月都达不到,同时测水分,但是测水分的时候硼酸要是指示剂反应,不知道为什么草案这样弄。草案会不会有错误?
不明白你说的FDA草案是什么?这个原料本身性质就是不稳定的
楼主所见草案太奇怪了吧?FDA与EMA上都明确说了冷冻保存的!
楼主所说刚好是原研制剂的贮存条件!呵呵!

BRIEFING
Bortezomib. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this drug substance, a new monograph based on validated
methods of analysis is proposed. The liquid chromatographic procedure used in the Assay and Organic Impurities test is based on
analyses performed using the Waters Symmetry C18 brand of column with L1 packing. The typical retention time for bortezomib is
about 10–14 min.

DEFINITION
Bortezomib contains NLT 97.0% and NMT 103.0% of bortezomib (C19H25BN4O4), calculated on the anhydrous basis.
IDENTIFICATION
• A. Infrared Absorption 〈197〉: [Note—Methods described in 〈197K〉 or 〈197A〉 may be used.]
• B. The retention time of the major peak of the Sample solution corresponds to that of the Standard solution, as obtained in
the Assay.
ASSAY
• Procedure
Protect the solutions containing bortezomib from light and store at 2°–8° for NMT 7 days.
Solution A: Acetonitrile, formic acid, and water (30: 0.1: 70)
Solution B: Acetonitrile, formic acid, and water (80: 0.1: 20)

Analysis
Samples: Standard solution and Sample solution
Calculate the percentage of bortezomib (C19H25BN4O4) in the portion of Bortezomib taken:
Result = (rU/rS) × (CS/CU) ×100
rU = peak response from the Sample solution
rS = peak response from the Standard solution
CS = concentration of USP Bortezomib RS (trimeric boroxine form) in the Standard solution (mg/mL)
CU = concentration of Bortezomib (trimeric boroxine form) in the Sample solution (mg/mL)
