The stability of the new antileukemic kojic acid derivative, 5-benzyloxy-2-thiocyanatomethyl-4-pyranone (BTMP) was investigated. The degradation of BTMP was studied using specific and reproducible HPLC and LC-MS methods. Accelerated stability studies of BTMP were conducted in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution, physiological phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.5) and basic phosphate buffer solution (pH 9.0) at 30, 40 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The degradation of BTMP was found to follow pseudo-first order kinetics. In basic solution (pH 9.0) BTMP underwent rapid hydrolysis at a degradation rate constant (0.183-0.638 h-1) and degradation half-life (3.67-1.06 h) depending on the temperature setting. On the other hand, BTMP was significantly stable in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution (kdeg: 0.0017-0.0052 h-1; degradation half-life t1/2: 408.6-135.7 h), whereas in physiological phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.5), BTMP was only moderately stable (kdeg: 0.006-0.231 h-1; degradation half-life: 117.7-3.0 h). Arrhenius plots were constructed to predict the degradation kinetic parameters of BTMP at 25 degrees C and 4 degrees C. LC-MS analyses confirmed the degradation of BTMP in basic solutions and indicated at least two degradation products; namely 5-benzyloxypyran-2-ol-4-one (m/z 217.8) and 2-thiocyanatomethylpyran-5-ol-4-one (m/z 181.6).
