Abstract

Three unknown impurities of Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, were formed in the formulated drug under the stress conditions, [40 °C/75% relative humidity (RH) for 6 months] with relative retention times (RRTs) 0.17, 0.22 and 0.28. The Impurity‐I (0.17 RRT) was isolated using preparative HPLC and characterized by NMR and MS. The other two impurities, Impurity‐II (RRT 0.22) and Impurity‐III (RRT 0.28) could not be isolated, hence they are characterized by HPLC‐hyphenated techniques, LC–NMR and high‐resolution LC–MS. On the basis of the spectral data, the Impurity‐I, Impurity‐II and Impurity‐III were characterized as 1‐(1__H__‐benzo[d]imidazol‐2‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid, 1__H__‐benzo [d] imidazole‐2‐sulfonic acid and 4‐(3‐methoxy propoxy)‐3‐methyl‐2‐pyridine carboxylic acid, respectively.
