Diazotizable substances
Standard preparation— Transfer 10.0 mg of USP 2,4-Disulfamyl-5-trifluoromethylaniline RS to a 50-mL volumetric flask, dissolve in and dilute with acetone to volume, and mix. Transfer 10.0 mL of this solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with water to volume, and mix.
Test preparation— Transfer 100 mg to a 50-mL volumetric flask, dissolve in 5 mL of acetone, dilute with water to volume, and mix.
Procedure— Transfer 5.0 mL each of the Standard preparation, the Test preparation, and a solution of acetone in water (1 in 10) to provide the blank, to separate 25-mL volumetric flasks. To each flask add 2.0 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid (1 in 5), and immediately add 1 mL of freshly prepared sodium nitrite solution (1 in 100). Mix, and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Add 1 mL of freshly prepared ammonium sulfamate solution (1 in 10) to each flask, mix, and allow to stand for 1 minute, with frequent swirling. Add 1 mL of a freshly prepared solution of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (1 in 1000), and mix. After 1 minute, dilute with water to volume, and mix. Concomitantly, and within 5 minutes after mixing, taking care to establish the same elapsed time for each solution, determine the absorbances of the solutions in 1-cm cells at 518 nm, with a suitable spectrophotometer, using the blank to set the instrument: the absorbance of the solution from the Test preparation does not exceed that of the solution from the Standard preparation, corresponding to not more than 1.0% of diazotizable substances.
Organic volatile impurities, Method V 467: meets the requirements.
Solvent— Use dimethyl sulfoxide.
Residual solvents 467: meets the requirements.
(Official January 1, 2007)
Assay— Transfer about 50 mg of Hydroflumethiazide, accurately weighed, to a 100-mL volumetric flask, add methanol to volume, and mix. Transfer 2.0 mL of this solution to a second 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with methanol to volume, and mix. Concomitantly determine the absorbances of this solution and a Standard solution of USP Hydroflumethiazide RS in the same medium having a known concentration of about 10 µg per mL, in 1-cm cells at the wavelength of maximum absorbance at about 273 nm, with a suitable spectrophotometer, using methanol as the blank. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C8H8F3N3O4S2 in the Hydroflumethiazide taken by the formula:
5C(AU / AS),
in which C is the concentration, in µg per mL, of USP Hydroflumethiazide RS in the Standard solution; and AU and AS are the absorbances of the solution of Hydroflumethiazide and the Standard solution, respectively.
