Objective: To establish an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of trace level of genotoxic impurity N, N-dimethylaniline in flucytosine.Methods: The C18(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.8 μm)analytical column was used for the separation with a mobile phase consisting of water-methanol-formic acid(95:5:0.1)at a flow rate of 0.2 mL·min-1. The detection was achieved in ESI positive ion mode with MRM.Results: The calibration curve for N, N-dimethylaniline was in good linearity in the range from 0.4 to 10 ng·mL-1(r=0.999 5). The limit of detection was 0.1 ng·mL-1, and the limit of quantitation was 0.4 ng·mL-1. Average recovery(n=9)was 101.3%. The contents of N, N-dimethylaniline in three batches of flucytosine were all lower than 000.02 μg·g-1.Conclusion: The established method can be applied to the genotoxic impurity N, N-dimethylaniline determination in flucytosine.
