Method for the purification of prostaglandins
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a method for the purification of a prostaglandin by supercritical fluid chromatography, said method comprising the use of a stationary phase and a mobile phase comprising carbon dioxide, provided that when the stationary phase is unmodified silica gel, the prostaglandin is not luprostiol. The invention also provides prostaglandins obtainable by the method.
1. A latanoprost composition comprising C11-beta isomer of latanoprost in an amount greater than 0% and less than 0.03%, and containing less than 0.03% C15R-Trans isomer of latanoprost, less than 0.05% C15S-Trans isomer of latanoprost, and less than 0.03% C15S-Cis isomer of latanoprost, after 11 months storage at freezer temperature.
2. A latanoprost composition comprising a C11-beta isomer of latanoprost in an amount greater than 0% and less than 0.03%, after 11 months storage at freezer temperature.
