subjects NMR Quality control Peptide Adulteration
Whereas generic, LC-based pharmaceutical control quality procedures depend largely on the detection mode and can be particularly ‘blind’ to certain impurities, NMR is a more versatile and, thus, often more judicious detector. While adulteration presents ever-evolving challenges for the analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished products sold in the worldwide (online) marketplace, research chemicals are usually trusted rather than being considered flawed or even adulterated. This report shows how NMR analysis uncovered the unanticipated presence of substantial amounts of mannitol (20 and 43% w/w) as undeclared constituent in two custom synthetic peptides, DR and DRVYI, that were sourced commercially.
