Assay—
Mobile phase, System suitability preparation, and Chromatographic system—
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Methacycline Hydrochloride.
Standard preparation—
Transfer about 28 mg of USP Methacycline Hydrochloride RS, accurately weighed, to a 50-mL volumetric flask, add 10 mL of water, dilute with Mobile phase to volume, and mix.
Assay preparation—
Transfer an accurately measured quantity of Oral Suspension, freshly mixed and free from air bubbles, equivalent to about 50 mg of methacycline (C22H22N2O8), to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with Mobile phase to volume, mix, and filter.
Procedure—
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Methacycline Hydrochloride. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of methacycline (C22H22N2O8) in each mL of the Oral Suspension taken by the formula:
100(CE / 1000V)(rU / rS)
in which V is the volume, in mL, of Oral Suspension taken to prepare the Assay preparation; and the other terms are as defined therein.
