The invention discloses an
impurity detection method for a
pimobendan soft chewing
dosage form, which is characterized in that three-phase
high performance liquid chromatography is used for determination, and the chromatographic conditions comprise that a
chromatographic column is C18, 4.6 mm * 250 mm, 4 [mu] m; a mobile phase A is a 2.6 g / L
sodium dihydrogen
phosphate solution, and the pH is adjusted to 3.0 by
phosphoric acid; a mobile phase B is
acetonitrile-
methanol in a ratio of 80: 20; the
column temperature is 45 DEG C; the detection
wavelength is 290 nm; and the flow velocity is 1.0 ml / min. The
pimobendan soft chewing
dosage form solution is measured under the liquid chromatogram condition, and the
impurity condition is judged according to the main peak and the
impurity peak. In addition, under the method, a
preservative in the
pimobendan soft chewing
dosage form can be detected. By adjusting the mobile phase
system and optimizing the mobile
phase gradient, the main peak of pimobendan appears at the gradient change mitigation position, the auxiliary material is completely separated from the main peak and the impurity peak, the auxiliary material does not interfere with impurity detection, the specificity is high, the sensitivity is high, and the impurity response is high.
