Chloroquine
1,4-Pentanediamine, N4-(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)-N1,N1-diethyl-. 7-Chloro-4-[[4-(diethylamino)-1-methylbutyl]amino]quinoline [54-05-7]. » Chloroquine contains not less than 98.0 percent and not more than 102.0 percent of C18H26ClN3, calculated on the dried basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in well-closed containers. Store at 25, excursions permitted between 15 and 30.
Identification
A:
Dissolve 35 mg in 4 mL of chloroform, and pass through a dry filter: the IR absorption spectrum of the solution so obtained exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of a solution of USP Chloroquine Phosphate RS prepared as directed in Identification test A under Chloroquine Phosphate.
B: Ultraviolet Absorption 197U
Solution:
10 µg per mL.
Medium:
dilute hydrochloric acid (1 in 1000).
Ratio:
A343 / A329, between 1.00 and 1.15.
Melting range 741:
between 87 and 92.
Loss on drying 731
Dry it at 105 for 2 hours: it loses not more than 2.0% of its weight.
Residue on ignition 281:
not more than 0.2%.

Assay
Dissolve about 250 mg of Chloroquine, accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid,USP32 add crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 15.99 mg of C18H26ClN3.
