Abstract
A process for the purification of L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine is described, wherein L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine is crystallized from DMSO or from a mixture of DMSO with at least another solvent, preferably selected from water, alcohol, halogenated solvents, ethers, esters and/or amides. Such a process allows to obtain L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine having a purity greater than 99.5%, preferably greater than 99.7%, even more preferably greater than or equal to 99.9%. A method for determining the purity of L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine is also described, comprising the elution of L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine through an HPLC column having an amino stationary phase, and subsequent detection of L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine itself, and any impurity thereof, by means of an Evaporative Light Scattering Detector type.
