Abstract：Objective:To establish a UPLC method for the determination of fluticasone propionate in fluticasone propionate raw materials and nasal sprays,which can be used to qualitatively identify the impurities of fluticasone propionate.Methods:The analytes were separated on a HALO90Å,C18 column(100mm×2.1mm,2.7 μm)using a gradient elution with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1%formic acid(containing 0.1%ammonium acetate).The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min-1,the column temperature was 40℃,and the detection wavelength was 239 nm.The impurities of fluticasone propionate were qualitatively identified by UPLC-MS/MS under an ESI positive mode.Results:The chromatographic peak for the principal component of fluticasone propionate was well separated from each impurity.The linearity range of fluticasone propionate was0.5～50.0μg·mL-1(R2 =0.9998),and the recovery of fluticasone propionate nasal spray was 95.51%(RSD =1.59%,n =9).The percentage of fluticasone propionate in the raw material was 99.54%,the percentage of labeled amount of three batches of fluticasone propionate nasal spray were 96.69%,98.32%and 96.00%,respectively.Conclusion:The method,which is rapid,simple and sensitive,can be used for the quantitative determination of fluticasone propionate in raw materials and the nasal spray,as well as the qualitative identification of the impurities.
