A stability-indicating UPLC method was developed for quantitative determination of 9-desmethyl-α-dihydrotetrabenazine (9-DM-α-DTBZ), the precursor for preparing a widely used vesicular monoamine transporter 2 imaging agent11C-α-DTBZ. Compound 9-DM-α-DTBZ was subjected to various stress conditions consisting of acidic, alkaline, oxidative, thermal and photolytic forced degradation. The decomposition of 9-DM-α-DTBZ was observed under oxidative condition, whereas no obvious degradation was shown under the other stress conditions. For chromatographic separation of 9-DM-α-DTBZ and its degradation products, an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) and a mobile phase of 20:80 (v/v) methanol/ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5, 10 mM) were used. Quantitative determination of 9-DM-α-DTBZ was performed using a PDA detector at a flow rate of 0.30 mL min−1. UPLC–MS analysis was further utilized to characterize the two degradation products. The proposed method was fully validated as per USP guidelines with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The linear regression analysis showed a good linear relationship (r2= 0.9995) in the concentration range of 0.001–1.00 mg mL−1(n= 6). The assay method was found to have good precision (1.14–1.35% RSD) and recovery (98.91–101.23%). Additionally, the LOD and LOQ of 9-DM-α-DTBZ were 0.30 and 1.00 μg mL−1, respectively. These results indicated that the present method could be used to evaluate the quality of regular production samples and also used in stability assays.
