Identification—
A: It meets the requirements under Identification—Organic Nitrogenous Bases 181, USP Triflupromazine Hydrochloride RS being used, and 0.01 N hydrochloric acid being used in place of water to dissolve the specimen.
Solution: 7 µg per mL.
Medium: 0.5 N sulfuric acid.
Absorptivities at 255 nm do not differ by more than 3.0%.
Residue on ignition 281: not more than 0.2%.
Ordinary impurities 466
Test solution: acetone.
Standard solution: acetone.
Eluant: a mixture of chloroform and methanol (4:1).
Visualization: 1.
Assay— Dissolve about 800 mg of Triflupromazine, accurately weighed, in 100 mL of glacial acetic acid. Add crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS to a blue endpoint. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 35.24 mg of C18H19F3N2S.
Auxiliary Information— Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
