Objective To establish an HPLC method for the determination of vortioxetine hydrobromide and its related substance. Methods Separation was carried out on Waters Symmetry^® C₁₈ column (250 mm×4.6 μm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of 0.05% aqueous solution of trifluoroacetic acid-[methyl-acetonitrile-water-trifluoroacetic acid (60:35:5:0.035)] with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, temperature of column was set at 40℃, and volume of injection was 10 μL. The detection wavelengths were set at 254 nm. The structures of four process-related impurities formed during the synthesis were characterized and confirmed by IR, MS, and NMR spectroscopy analyses. The probable formation mechanisms of the impurities identified were proposed. Results The linear relations of vortioxetine hydrobromide and impurities A-G in the range of mass concentration was good with perfect precision with r all more than 0.999 4. Quantitative limiting concentration of vortioxetine hydrobromide and impurities A, B,C, E, F, and G were 0.2 μg/mL, and minimum detection limit concentration were 0.02 μg/mL. Quantitative limiting concentration of impurity D was 0.8 μg/mL, and minimum detection limit concentration was 0.08 μg/mL. The average recovery rates were 100.4%, and RSD was 1.06%. The content of main impurity in vortioxetine hydrobromide was 0-0.01%.Conclusion The method is rapid, convenient, and with precision and accuracy, and provides reference and basis to develop and improve vortioxetine quality standard.
