Inspired by the fact that phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) has emerged as a useful biomarker for break of double-strand DNA. In this study, an isotope dilution-based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry screening method for genotoxic impurities (GTI) was established. The detection limits for H2AX and γ-H2AX target peptides were 1 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL, respectively. The accuracy and precision could meet the methodological requirement for biological samples analysis. This study focused on two kinds of important genotoxic impurities, ethylmethylsulfone (EMS) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), in two human cell lines (HepG2 and HeLa) with different metabolic capabilities. The results showed that EMS had genotoxic characteristics in the two cell lines, while NDMA had genotoxicity only in HepG2 cells. The sensitivities of the method were 0.06 μg/g for EMS and 0.03 μg/g for NDMA, which satisfied the international detection limit standard (EMS:0.6 μg/g, NDMA:0.3 μg/g). The method was further applied to the screening of GTI in five commercially available tablets. The tablets were dissolved in water, followed by incubating with the cells to detect γ-H2AX level. The results showed that other unconcerned ingredients in these drugs did not interfere with the detection. This method was convenient, accurate and sensitive, and could be used for rapid detection of GTI in drugs.
