Test solution:
a solution in methanol having a known concentration of 14.1 mg per mL equivalent to 10 mg of mesoridazine per mL.
Standard solution:
methanol.
Eluant:
a mixture of chloroform, isopropyl alcohol, and ammonium hydroxide (87:12:1).
Visualization:
3, followed by spraying with 3% (v/v) aqueous hydrogen peroxide.
Application volume:
10 µL.

Assay—
Dissolve about 150 mg of Mesoridazine Besylate, accurately weighed, in 70 mL of acetic anhydride, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS, determining the endpoint potentiometrically. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 27.24 mg of C21H26N2OS2·C6H6O3S.
