Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate
Ethanol, 2-[[4-[(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)amino]pentyl]ethyl]amino-, (±)-, sulfate (1:1) (salt). (±)-2-[[4-[(7-Chloro-4-quinolyl)amino]pentyl]ethylamino]ethanol sulfate (1:1) (salt) [747-36-4]. » Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate contains not less than 98.0 percent and not more than 102.0 percent of C18H26ClN3O·H2SO4, calculated on the dried basis.

Assay
Dissolve about 100 mg of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate, accurately weighed, in about 5 mL of water, and dilute quantitatively and stepwise with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 in 100) to obtain a solution containing about 10 µg per mL. Similarly prepare a Standard solution of USP Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate RS. Concomitantly determine the absorbances of both solutions in 1-cm cells at the wavelength of maximum absorbance at about 343 nm, with a suitable spectrophotometer, using dilute hydrochloric acid (1 in 100) as the blank. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C18H26ClN3O·H2SO4 in the portion of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate taken by the formula:
10C(AU / AS)
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate RS in the Standard solution; and AU and AS are the absorbances of the solution of Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate and the Standard solution, respectively.
