Objective: To establish a method for the determination of related substances in Ex4c (the raw ma-terial of the pegylation of glucagon-like peptide-1) by UPLC. Methods: The UPLC method was de-veloped by using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC®Peptide CSH?C18 column (130 Å, 2.1 ×150 mm, 1.7 mm) with a gradient elution system. The mobile phase A was 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution/tetrahydrofuran (9:1), and the mobile phase B was 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid in acetoni-trile/tetrahydrofuran (9:1). The column temperature was maintained at 45?C while the detection wavelength setting at 214 nm. Furthermore, the sample injection was 2 ml via keeping a flow rate of 0.3 mL?min?1. The developed method was validated. Results: The resolution between Ex4c and adjacent impurities, between Ex4C and the known impurities were greater than 1.5. All four known impurities exhibited good linear relationships with their related coefficients ≥ 0.995. And their detection limits ranged from 4.0 ng to 5.6 ng, comprising 96.3%~101.1% of recovered material. Conclusion: The validation results showed that the established method was simple, accurate and reproducible. It is capable of determinating impurities in Ex4c (the raw material of the pegylation of glucagon-like peptide-1) and can be effectively used for quality control of this drug.
