Abstract:
To achieve the simultaneous determination of multiple metal elements in multiple matrix extraction solutions of pharmaceutical glass ampoules, the study mentioned by the title was conducted using the following simulated extractants: 0.9% (mass fraction, the same below) potassium chloride solution, 0.1 mol · L
-1 sodium hydroxide solution, 3% (mass fraction, the same below) sodium citrate solution, and 20 mmol · L
-1 glycine solution. Pharmaceutical glass ampoules were washed with water and dried, and the 4 simulated extractants were added separately. After heating at 121, 121, 80, 50 ℃ for 2, 2, 24, 24 h separately, an aliquot (1.0 mL) of the simulated extraction solution was taken and diluted to 50 mL with 8% (volume fraction)aqua regia (mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid at volume ratio of 3∶1) solution. The solution obtained was mixed well, and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Matrix interference was reduced by diluting the simulated extraction solutions and online addition of internal standards, while mass spectrometry interference was eliminated using helium collision mode combined with an interference correction equation (specifically for indium element). It was shown that the mass concentrations of the 39 metal elements exhibited linear relationships with the ratios of their signal intensities to internal standard signal intensities within definite ranges, with detection limits in the range of 0.000 024-0.27 mg · L
-1. Recoveries of the 39 metal elements in the 4 simulated extraction solutions ranged from 80.3% to 112%, with RSDs (
n=6) of the determined values in the range of 0.10%-7.7%. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of 10 sets of pharmaceutical glass ampoules, and 9 metal elements were detected at varying levels. The extraction capabilities of the 4 simulated extractants, ranked from highest to lowest, were: 0.1 mol · L
-1 sodium hydroxide solution, 3% sodium citrate solution, 0.9% potassium chloride solution, and 20 mmol · L
-1 glycine solution.
