Given that microorganisms can become resistant to certain groups of drugs and considering also their ability to form biofilms, the development of new drugs that are active against adapted microflora is required. This study focused on the development of a new method for the synthesis of a promising compound, the branched hydrosuccinate oligohexamethylene guanidine (OHMGsucc), with high purity that meets the standards of the 14th edition State Pharmacopeia of the Russian Federation (SPRF). Previously proposed methods have managed to isolate this product, which, however, complies with the requirements of the outdated SPRF. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to update the regulatory framework for the indicated OHMG salt for its further use in the pharmaceutical industry according to modern standards.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods. To control the residual impurities of hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and guanidine hydrochloride (GHC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied using a Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 chromatograph, and the chromatographic signals of the test solution with those of a standard sample solution obtained by a previously published conventional method were compared.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The HPLC experimental data indicated a significant difference in the quantitative content of HMDA and GHC observed for the new and older preparation method of the branched OHMGsucc, suggesting that the method disclosed in this article can be used to obtain highly pure OHMGsucc.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. The specified compound was standardized with the parameter “related impurities” according to the current (14th) edition of the SPRF. The effectiveness and reproducibility of the proposed method was experimentally confirmed. In addition, a process diagram for the preparation of the indicated OHMG salt was prepared.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цели</title><p>Цели. На фоне приобретения микроорганизмами резистентности к определенным группам лекарственных средств, а также способностей образовывать биопленки, требуются новые препараты, активные против адаптированной микрофлоры. Cтатья посвящена изысканию способа получения перспективного соединения – разветвленного гидросукцината олигогексаметиленгуанидина с высокой степенью чистоты, соответствующей нормам Государственной Фармакопеи 14 издания. Так как предложенные ранее методы позволяли получить продукт, удовлетворяющий требованиям устаревшей Государственной Фармакопеи, то основной целью являлась актуализация нормативной базы в отношении указанной соли олигогексаметиленгуанидина для ее дальнейшего применения в фармацевтической отрасли согласно современным стандартам.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы. Для контроля примесных соединений – гексаметилендиамина и гуанидина гидрохлорида применяли высокоэффективную жидкостную хроматографию, которую проводили на хроматографе Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 методом внешнего стандарта.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. На основании экспериментальных данных, полученных с помощью высокоэффективной жидкостной хроматографии, отображена разница в количественном содержании остаточных примесей в составе субстанции разветвленного гидросукцината олигогексаметиленгуанидина, полученной двумя разными способами. Отмечено, что способ, предложенный авторами настоящей статьи, позволяет снизить их содержание по сравнению с конвенциональным методом.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Согласно представленным данным проведена стандартизация указанного соединения по параметру «Родственные примеси» в соответствии с актуальным на данный момент изданием Государственной Фармакопеи. Вследствие того, что эффективность предложенного метода экспериментально подтвердилась, на заключительном этапе работы была составлена технологическая схема получения указанной соли олигогексаметиленгуанидина.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биоцид</kwd><kwd>антибактериальный агент</kwd><kwd>очистка</kwd><kwd>родственные примеси</kwd><kwd>соль олигогексаметиленгуанидина</kwd><kwd>дезинфектант</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biocide</kwd><kwd>antibacterial agent</kwd><kwd>purification</kwd><kwd>related impurities</kwd><kwd>oligohexamethylene guanidine salt</kwd><kwd>disinfectant</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This article has been edited for English language and spelling by Enago, an editing brand of Crimson Interactive Inc.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Dieleman J.L., Schneider M.T., Singh L., Sadat N., Birger M., Reynolds A., Templin T., Hamavid H., Chapin A., Murray C.J.L., Haakenstad A.
