Assay
Diluent solution
Prepare a filtered and degassed mixture of 0.05 M monobasic potassium phosphate (adjusted with phosphoric acid to a pH of 2.5), acetonitrile, and methanol (40:30:30). Make adjustments if necessary (see System Suitability under Chromatography 621).
Mobile phase
Prepare a mixture containing 0.2% triethylamine in Diluent solution.
Standard preparation
Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Fluphenazine Hydrochloride RS in Diluent solution, and dilute quantitatively, and stepwise if necessary, with Diluent solution to obtain a solution having a known concentration of about 0.06 mg per mL.
Assay preparation
Transfer about 120 mg of Fluphenazine Hydrochloride, accurately weighed, to a 100-mL volumetric flask. Dissolve in and dilute with Diluent solution to volume, and mix. Pipet 5.0 mL of this solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with Diluent solution to volume, and mix. Filter, discarding the first 5 mL of the filtrate.
Chromatographic system
(see Chromatography 621)The liquid chromatograph is equipped with a 254-nm detector and a 4-mm × 12.5-cm column that contains packing L7. The flow rate is about 1.0 mL per minute. Chromatograph the Standard preparation, and record the peak responses as directed for Procedure : the column efficiency is not less than 2000 theoretical plates, the tailing factor is not more than 2.0, and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 2.0%.
Procedure
Separately inject equal volumes (about 25 µL) of the Standard preparation and the Assay preparation into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the responses for the major peaks. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C22H26F3N3OS·2HCl in the portion of Fluphenazine Hydrochloride taken by the formula:
2000C(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Fluphenazine Hydrochloride RS in the Standard preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
