Development and Validation of LC-MS/MS Method for the Determination of 1-Methyl-4-Nitrosopiperazine (MNP) in Multicomponent Products with Rifampicin-Analytical Challenges and Degradation Studies.

ABSTRACT: Rifampicin is an essential medicine for treating and preventing tuberculosis (TB). TB is a life-threatening infectious disease and its prevention and treatment are public health imperatives. In the time of a global crisis of nitrosamine contamination of medicinal products, patient safety and a reduction in the number of drug recalls at the same time are crucial. In this work, the LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of the 1-methyl-4-nitrosospiperazine (MNP), a genotoxic nitrosamine impurity in various products containing rifampicin at a 5.0 ppm limit level according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Extraction with neutralization was necessary due to the matrix and solvent effect associated with the complexity of the rifampicin product. The developed method was validat
