Abstract

Background: The reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the quantitative measurement of monoclonal antibodies (Maftivimab, Atoltivimab, and Odesivimab) in the pharmaceutical dosage form. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved these monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of Zaire ebolavirus infection in adults.

Methods: Maftivimab, Atoltivimab, and Odesivimab were separated chromatographically on the Waters Alliance-e2695 platform using the Luna Phenyl Hexyl (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column and a mobile phase made up of Acetonitrile (ACN) and ortho-phosphoric acid (OPA) buffer in a ratio of 70:30 (v/v).

Results: The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and a photodiode array (PDA) detector operating at room temperature was used to measure absorption at 282 nm. For Maftivimab, Atoltivimab, and Odesivimab, the theoretical plates were not less than 2000, and the tailing factor shouldn't be greater than 2, accordingly. All measurements have a constant relative standard deviation of peak areas that is less than 2.0.

Conclusion: The suggested procedure was approved following the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) recommendations. When used for the quantitative analysis of Maftivimab, Atoltivimab, and Odesivimab, the approach was found to be straightforward, affordable, appropriate, exact, accurate, and robust.

Keywords: RP-HPLC, development, validation, maftivimab, atoltivimab, odesivimab.
