Objective: To establish a 2-dimensional HPLC/ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometric method(2D-LC-IT-TOF/MS) for the detection and identification of the related substances described in the Pharmacopoeias, and to discuss the possible degration pathways of midazolam. Methods: The separation was carried out on ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column using a mixture of 65 volumes of methanol and 35 volumes of phosphate buffer solution(equal volumes of 0.1 mol·L-1 orhophosphoric acid and 0.03 mol·L-1 triethylamine. pH was adjusted to 3. 5 with 0. 1 mol·L-1 NaOH) as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1. 0 mL·min-1. The related substances of interest were trapped on an InertsurstainTM C18(2. 0 mm×50 mm, 2. 1 μm) column separately and then desalted by using formic acid solution(adjust the pH with formic acid solution to 3. 5) as mobile A and methanol as mobile B in a gradient elution. IT-TOF/MS was conducted by electrospray positive ionization with the nebulized gas of 1. 5 L·min-1,dry gas N2 of 10. 0 L·min-1,desolation tube temperature at 200℃. The related substances detected were then characterized according to their multi-level product MS behaviors. Results: Three related substances were detected in midazolam injection and their structures were identified to be midazolam's isomer,and the impurity D and G described in BP. The isomer,not reported before,was the degradation product of midazolam under acidic stress. Conclusion: The established method is suitable for the identification of impurities in midazolam injection and useful for quality control and process optimization of midazolam injection.
