Identification of dimer impurities in ampicillin and amoxicillin by capillary LC and tandem mass spectrometry.

A micro-scale liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for the identification of polymerized impurities in ampicillin and amoxicillin in aqueous solution. Ampicillin and amoxicillin are broad-spectrum antibiotics and widely used for the treatment of human and animal infections. In this study ampicillin, amoxicillin, and their dimers were trapped in a 5-cm capillary column containing C18 sorbents. The analytes were separated on a reversed-phase column and introduced into the mass spectrometer via a nanospray ion source. An isocratic mobile phase consisting of 1% formic acid-acetonitrile (50:50, v/v) was used. For identification, the fragment ions of the analytes were monitored. The aim of the present study was to develop an optimized quality control method for the analysis of high molecular weight impurities of ampicillin and amoxicillin.
