Identification—
B: Ultraviolet Absorption 197U
Solution: 10 µg per mL.
Medium: methanol.
Absorptivities at 263 nm, calculated on the dried basis, do not differ by more than 3.0%.
pH 791: between 4.2 and 5.7, in a freshly prepared solution (1 in 100).
Loss on drying 731 Dry it at 105 for 4 hours: it loses not more than 0.5% of its weight.
Residue on ignition 281: not more than 0.2%.
Selenium 291 The absorbance of the solution from the Test Solution, prepared with 100 mg of Mesoridazine Besylate and 100 mg of magnesium oxide, is not greater than one-half that from the Standard Solution (0.003%).
Ordinary impurities 466
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.
Limit: 3.0%.
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.
Auxiliary Information— Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
