An HPLC method was established for the determination of the related substances in lapatinib ditosylate. A C18 column was used, with the mobile phase of ammonium acetate buffer solution (dissolved 3.0 g of ammonium acetate in 1 L of water, adjusted to pH 4.0 by glacial acetic acid)∶acetonitrile by gradient elution at the detection wavelength of 260 nm. It was linear for the related substances A, B, C and lapatinib ditosylate in the concentration ranges of 0.15 - 1.0, 0.30 - 2.0, 0.15 - 1.0 and 0.50 - 10.0 μg/ml, respectively. Their average recoveries were 105.57%, 103.47% and 105.08%, with RSDs of 1.49%, 5.85% and 0.89%, respectively. The low limits of detection for the related substances A, B, C and lapatinib ditosylate were 0.05, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.08 μg/ml, respectively.
