Assay
Transfer about 100 mg of Methdilazine Hydrochloride, accurately weighed, to a 1000-mL volumetric flask, add water to volume, and mix. Transfer 5.0 mL of this solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with water to volume, and mix. Concomitantly determine the absorbances of this solution and of a Standard solution of USP Methdilazine Hydrochloride RS in the same medium having a known concentration of about 5 µg per mL, in 1-cm cells at 252 and 275 nm, with a suitable spectrophotometer, using water as the blank. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C18H20N2S·HCl in the portion of Methdilazine Hydrochloride taken by the formula:
20C(A252 A275)U / (A252 A275)S
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Methdilazine Hydrochloride RS in the Standard solution; and the parenthetic expressions are the differences in the absorbances of the two solutions at the wavelengths indicated by the subscripts, for the solution of Methdilazine Hydrochloride (U) and the Standard solution (S), respectively.
