Assay—
Transfer about 100 mg of Floxuridine for Injection, accurately weighed, to a 250-mL volumetric flask, dissolve in and dilute with potassium hydroxide solution (1 in 180) to volume, and mix. Transfer 5.0 mL of this solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with potassium hydroxide solution (1 in 180) to volume, and mix. Concomitantly determine the absorbances of this solution and a Standard solution of USP Floxuridine RS, in the same medium having a known concentration of about 20 µg per mL, in 1-cm cells at the wavelength of maximum absorbance at about 268 nm, with a suitable spectrophotometer, using potassium hydroxide solution (1 in 180) as the blank. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C9H11FN2O5 in the portion of Floxuridine for Injection taken by the formula:
5C(AU / AS)
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Floxuridine RS in the Standard solution; and AU and AS are the absorbances of the solution from Floxuridine for Injection and the Standard solution, respectively.
