Proceed as directed in the Assay.
Standard solution
Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Didanosine Related Compound A RS in water to obtain a solution containing 5 µg per mL. Make stepwise dilutions if necessary. [noteUse this solution within 48 hours of preparation.]
Test solution
Transfer the contents of 1 container of Didanosine for Oral Solution to a suitable volumetric flask, and dissolve in water to obtain a solution having a concentration of approximately 4 mg per mL. [noteUse this solution within 24 hours of preparation.]
Diluted test solution
Dilute the Test solution quantitatively, and stepwise if necessary, with water to obtain a solution having a concentration of about 0.1 mg per mL.
Calculate the percentage of didanosine related compound A (hypoxanthine) in the Didanosine for Oral Solution as compared to the didanosine label claim by the formula:
[100(C/1000)(rU / rS)VD]/L
in which 100 is the conversion factor to percent; C is the concentration of didanosine related compound A in the Standard solution, in µg per mL; 1000 is the conversion factor (µg to mg); rU and rS are the peak responses of didanosine related compound A in the Diluted test solution and the Standard solution, respectively; V is the volume, in mL, of Didanosine for Oral Solution used to prepare the Test solution; D is the dilution factor of the Diluted test solution; and L is the didanosine label claim expressed in mg: not more than 1% is found.
Assay
0.01 M Ammonium acetate buffer solution
Dissolve 1.54 g of ammonium acetate into a 2000-mL volumetric flask, dilute with water to volume, mix, and pass through a 0.45-µm filter.
Mobile phase
Prepare a filtered degassed mixture of 0.01 M Ammonium acetate buffer solution and acetonitrile (24:1). Make adjustments if necessary (see System Suitability under Chromatography 621).
Standard preparation
Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Didanosine RS in water to obtain a solution containing 0.1 mg per mL. [noteUse this solution within 24 hours of preparation.]
Assay preparation
Transfer the contents of 1 bottle of Didanosine for Oral Solution to a suitable volumetric flask and dilute stepwise, if necessary, to obtain a solution in water of about 0.1 mg per mL. [noteUse this solution within 24 hours of preparation.]
Chromatographic system (see Chromatography 621)
The liquid chromatograph is equipped with a 254-nm detector, a 4-mm × 25-cm analytical column containing packing L1, and a 4.6- × 20-mm guard column. The flow rate is about 2.0 mL per minute. Chromatograph the Standard preparation, and record the peak responses as directed for Procedure: the retention time for didanosine is between 7 and 11 minutes; the column efficiency is not less than 6000 theoretical plates; and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 1.5%.
Procedure
Separately inject equal volumes (about 20 µL) of the Standard preparation and the Assay preparation into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the responses for the major peaks. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of didanosine (C10H12N4O3) in the portion of Didanosine for Oral Solution taken by the formula:
CD(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Didanosine RS in the Standard preparation; D is the volume, in mL, of Didanosine for Oral Solution used to prepare the Assay preparation multiplied by the dilution factor of the Assay preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
