  • Qualitative Component Analysis of Filgrastim Biosimilars by LC/QTOF-MS

抄録

<p>Many biosimilars have been launched recently, however, a precise analytical method to evaluate their characteristics has not been developed. In this study, we established a new qualitative analysis technology for biomedicines using liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC/QTOF-MS), and assessed the original product and 4 biosimilars of filgrastim. Three peaks (Peak 1-3) appeared in total ion chromatogram by LC/QTOF-MS in the original brand-named drug. Filgrastim appeared as the main peak (Peak 1), and its molecular weight was calculated to be 18798.96 ± 0.02. When the original product was reduced by dithiothreitol, the molecular weight was 18802.19 ± 0.47, which was identical to the theoretical value based on amino acid sequence. These results indicate that it is possible to measure and distinguish molecular weights of untreated and reduced forms of filgrastim by LC/QTOF-MS. In addition, main peaks from all products including biosimilars showed exactly the same mass spectra and calculated molecular weights, suggesting that the main components (filgrastim) in these 4 products were considered to be qualitatively equal. On the other hand, the area ratios of 2 secondary peaks (Peaks 2 and 3) against the main peak (Peak 1) in 2 biosimilars were higher than those in the original product. The calculated molecular weights in Peaks 2 and 3 corresponded to that of polysorbate 80, which was one of the additives in the formulation. In conclusion, LC/QTOF-MS is a useful technique for qualitative component analysis of biomedicines.</p>
