Investigation of the Chemical Stability of Lenalidomide in Methanol/Ethanol Solvents Using RP-HPLC-UV and LC-MS
Journal Title: Jordan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2022, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Lenalidomide is a heterocyclic drug used for the treatment of Myelodysplastic syndrome. The current research focuses on the structural elucidation of new degradants that are formed unexpectedly upon storage of lenalidomide in methanol, followed by proposing their corresponding formation mechanism. The proposed structures of the degradants are relatively stable in which two tetrahedral intermediates are resulted from nucleophilic addition of methanol to the carbon of the carbonyl group of imide ring. Methanol molecules, as a solvent, may contribute in stabilizing the intermediate via hydrogen bond formation with it. These degradants were found abundant in lenalidomide/ methanol solution. Hence, the toxicological evaluation of them is crucial.
