Calcium Gluceptate (kal' see um gloo sep' tate). C14H26CaO16 (anhydrous)490.42 Glucoheptonic acid, calcium salt (2:1); Calcium glucoheptonate (1:2) [29039-00-7]. DEFINITION Calcium Gluceptate is anhydrous or contains varying amounts of water of hydration. It consists of the calcium salt of the alpha epimer of glucoheptonic acid or of a mixture of the alpha and beta epimers of glucoheptonic acid. It contains NLT 95.0% and NMT 102.0% of calcium gluceptate (C14H26CaO16), calculated on the dried basis. IDENTIFICATION • B. Identification TestsGeneral, Calcium 191: A 20-mg/mL solution meets the requirements. ASSAY • Procedure Sample: 800 mg of Calcium Gluceptate Blank: 150 mL of water containing 2 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid Titrimetric system (See Titrimetry 541.) Mode: Direct titration Titrant: 0.05 M edetate disodium VS Endpoint detection: Visual Analysis: Dissolve the Sample with 150 mL of water containing 2 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid. While stirring, preferably with a magnetic stirrer, add 25 mL of Titrant from the titration buret. Add 15 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide and 300 mg of hydroxy naphthol blue, and continue the titration to a blue endpoint. Perform the Blank determination. Calculate the percentage of calcium gluceptate (C14H26CaO16) in the Sample taken: Result = {[(VS VB) × M × F]/W} × 100
Acceptance criteria: 95.0%102.0% on the dried basis IMPURITIES • Chloride and Sulfate, Chloride 221 Standard: 1.0 mL of 0.020 N hydrochloric acid Sample: 1.0 g Acceptance criteria: NMT 0.07% • Chloride and Sulfate, Sulfate 221 Standard: 1.0 mL of 0.020 N sulfuric acid Sample: 2.0 g Acceptance criteria: NMT 0.05% • Reducing Sugars Sample: 0.50 g Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in 10 mL of hot water, add 2 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid, boil for about 2 min, and cool. Add 5 mL of sodium carbonate TS, allow to stand for 5 min, dilute with water to 20 mL, and filter. Add 5 mL of the clear filtrate to 2 mL of alkaline cupric tartrate TS, and boil for 1 min. Acceptance criteria: No red precipitate is formed immediately. SPECIFIC TESTS • Loss on Drying 731 (See Thermal Analysis 891.) [NoteThe quantity taken for the determination may be adjusted, if necessary, for instrument sensitivity. Weight loss occurring at temperatures above about 160, indicative of decomposition, is not to be interpreted as Loss on Drying. ] Sample: 1025 mg Analysis: Determine the percentage of volatile substances by thermogravimetric analysis on an appropriately calibrated instrument. Heat the specimen under test at a rate of 5/min in an atmosphere of nitrogen, at a flow rate of 40 mL/min. Record the thermogram to 150. Acceptance criteria: See Table 1. Table 1
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS • Packaging and Storage: Preserve in well-closed containers. • Labeling: Label to indicate whether hydrous or anhydrous; if hydrous, label to indicate also the degree of hydration. Auxiliary Information Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
