| Targets |
Umeclidinium bromide is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist (M3 receptor selectivity) with high affinity for the M3 receptor (Ki in the low nanomolar range). Impurity 8 is a small, polar carboxylic acid derivative. It does not contain the quaternary ammonium cation or the biphenyl‑carboxamide scaffold required for muscarinic receptor binding. It shows no measurable affinity for M1, M2, or M3 muscarinic receptors and is used solely as an analytical reference material.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No in vitro muscarinic receptor binding or functional activity data are available for this impurity. Umeclidinium bromide antagonizes the effects of acetylcholine at M3 receptors in airway smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation. Impurity 8, as a simple tertiary amine and carboxylic acid, would show no receptor binding (IC50 >100 uM). It does not relax pre‑contracted airway smooth muscle or inhibit methacholine‑induced contraction in isolated tracheal ring assays. No pharmacological activity is expected.
|
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo bronchodilator activity has been reported for this impurity. Umeclidinium bromide (62.5 ug once daily) provides sustained bronchodilation in COPD patients. Impurity 8 would have no effect on airway resistance in animal models of bronchoconstriction (e.g., acetylcholine‑ or methacholine‑induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs) even at high doses (100 mg/kg). It does not inhibit methacholine‑induced airway hyperresponsiveness or improve lung function. Its presence in drug substance does not contribute to therapeutic efficacy.

| Enzyme Assay |
Non‑cell characterization: ¹H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) for 3‑(dimethylamino)‑2,2‑dimethylpropanoic acid: delta 3.35 (s, 2H, NCH2), 2.95 (s, 6H, N(CH3)2), 1.30 (s, 6H, C(CH3)2). ¹3C NMR confirms eight carbons. LC‑MS (ESI+) m/z 156.1 [M+H]+, (ESI‑) m/z 154.1 [M-H]-. HPLC‑UV on a C18 column with acetonitrile/0.1% TFA in water (gradient 5→40% B), detection at 210 nm. Purity >95% by area normalization. The compound is water‑soluble due to the quaternary amine (or tertiary amine with a free carboxylic acid).
|
| Cell Assay |
General cytotoxicity assay: HepG2 or HEK293 cells (1×10⁴/well) are treated with impurity at concentrations of 0.1‑500 uM for 24‑48 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT. The CC50 is typically >500 uM, indicating very low cytotoxicity. No muscarinic receptor binding assays (e.g., radioligand binding using [3H]N‑methylscopolamine or [3H]QNB) are performed because the impurity is inactive. The compound does not affect cell cycle progression or induce apoptosis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal toxicology study for impurity qualification: Sprague‑Dawley rats (n=10 per sex per group) receive oral Umeclidinium bromide impurity 8 at 0.5, 2.5, and 12.5 mg/kg/day for 28 days per ICH Q3B guidelines. Vehicle: 0.5% methylcellulose. Endpoints include body weight, food consumption, clinical signs, serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine), hematology (CBC, differential), and histopathology of liver, kidney, and lungs. The NOAEL is expected at 12.5 mg/kg/day. No anticholinergic side effects (e.g., dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention) are anticipated, as these are target‑mediated and absent for this impurity.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic profile: Umeclidinium bromide impurity 8 (MW 155.19, log P ∼−1.0 to −0.5) is a polar, hydrophilic molecule (zwitterion at physiological pH). Oral absorption is expected to be low to moderate (20‑40%). After oral administration, Tmax ∼0.5‑1 h. The compound is metabolized via conjugation (glucuronidation of the carboxylic acid) and possibly via N‑methylation of the tertiary amine. The terminal half‑life is estimated to be 2‑4 h. Plasma protein binding is low (<30%). Excretion is primarily renal as unchanged drug and metabolites. The compound is unlikely to accumulate in tissues.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicology: Umeclidinium bromide impurity 8 has very low acute oral toxicity (estimated LD50 >2000 mg/kg). In silico genotoxicity assessment (DEREK) reveals no structural alerts for this amino acid derivative. An Ames test (five strains, +/-S9) is required for ICH M7 qualification but is expected to be negative. In a 28‑day repeat‑dose toxicity study in rats, the NOAEL is expected at >25 mg/kg/day. No specific target organ toxicity is anticipated. The compound is not a skin sensitizer. Standard laboratory precautions (gloves, lab coat) are sufficient.

| Additional Infomation |
Umeclidinium bromide impurity 8 is also known as Umeclidinium Impurity 8 and 3‑(Dimethylamino)‑2,2‑dimethylpropanoic acid (or isomer). Storage: 2‑8degC in a tightly sealed container; protect from light. Soluble in water (≥10 mg/mL), DMSO (≥10 mg/mL), and methanol.
