Assay—
Mobile phase, Diluent, Standard preparation, Resolution solution, and Chromatographic system— Proceed as directed in the Assay under Idarubicin Hydrochloride.
Assay preparation— Dilute the contents of 1 container of Idarubicin Hydrochloride for Injection quantitatively with Diluent to obtain a solution containing about 0.5 mg of idarubicin hydrochloride per mL.
Procedure— Proceed as directed for Procedure under Idarubicin Hydrochloride. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C26H27NO9·HCl in the container of Idarubicin Hydrochloride for Injection taken by the formula:
(C / 1000)(L / D)(rU / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of idarubicin hydrochloride (C26H27NO9·HCl) in the Standard preparation; L is the labeled quantity, in mg, of idarubicin hydrochloride in the container; D is the concentration, in mg per mL, of idarubicin hydrochloride in the Assay preparation on the basis of the labeled quantity in the container and the extent of dilution; and rU and rS are the responses of the idarubicin peak obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
Auxiliary Information— Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
