Identification
A:
Infrared Absorption á197Kñ:previously dried over silica gel for 4hours.
B:
Ultraviolet Absorption á197Uñ
Solution:
10µg per mL.
Medium:
methanol.
Absorptivities at 271nm,calculated on the anhydrous basis,do not differ by more than 4.0%.
C:
Mix 5mLof dilute hydrochloric acid (1in 2)with 20mg of Bendroflumethiazide,boil gently for 1minute,and cool in an ice bath.Add in succession 0.5mLof sodium nitrite solution (1in 1000),0.5mLof ammonium sulfamate solution (1in 200),and 0.5mLof N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride solution (1in 1000):a deep red color is produced.
Limit of 2,4-disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline
[NOTEUse low-actinic glassware for the
Test preparation and the
Standard preparation.]
Mobile phase
Dissolve 5.62g of sodium chloride and 1.97g of anhydrous sodium acetate in 1000mLof water in a 2-liter volumetric flask.Add 4.0mLof glacial acetic acid and 800mLof methanol,dilute with water to volume,mix,filter,and degas.
Test preparation
Transfer about 25mg of Bendroflumethiazide,accurately weighed,to a 100-mLvolumetric flask,add methanol to volume,and mix.Transfer 10.0mLof this solution to a 50-mLvolumetric flask,dilute with methanol to volume,and mix.
Chromatographic system
(see
Chromatography á621ñ)The liquid chromatograph is equipped with a 270-nm detector and a 4.6-mm ×30-cm column that contains packing L11maintained at a temperature of 35±5

.The flow rate is about 1.5mLper minute.Chromatograph five replicate injections of the
Standard preparation,and record the peak responses as directed for
Procedure:the relative standard deviation is not more than 3.0%,and the resolution factor between the methanol and 2,4-disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline is not less than 1.4.
Procedure
Separately inject equal volumes (about 20µL)of the
Standard preparationand the
Test preparationinto the chromatograph,record the chromatograms,and measure the peak response of the 2,4-disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline.Calculate the percentage of 2,4-disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline in the portion of Bendroflumethiazide taken by the formula:
100(CS/CU)(rU/rS),
in which
CSis the concentration,in µg per mL,of
USP2,4-Disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline RSin the
Standard preparation;CUis the concentration,in µg per mL,of bendroflumethiazide in the
Test preparation;and
rUand
rSare the peak responses obtained from the
Test preparationand the
Standard preparation,respectively.Not more than 1.5%of 2,4-disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline is found.
