Study Notes
Methods of Analysis
- Classified into three categories: Classical, Instrumental, and Misc
- Classical methods include Volumetric and Gravimetric analysis
- Volumetric analysis involves measuring the volume of a solution of known concentration required to react with the desired constituent
- Gravimetric analysis involves accurate measurement of weight by making it react quantitatively with another substance, usually a precipitant
Pharmacopeia
- A book of standards and reference for pharmaceutical products and crude plant drugs
- Examples: British Pharmacopeia (BP), United States Pharmacopeia (USP), International Pharmacopeia (IP), and European Pharmacopeia (EP)
- History of USP:
- First US Pharmacopeia published in 1820
- First National Formulary (NF) published in 1888
- President Theodore Roosevelt signed the first Federal Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, establishing legal standards for medical and pharmaceutic substances
- USP acquired NF and Drug Standards Laboratory from APhA in 1975
- First combined USP-NF published in 1980
- USP revised and published annually, made official every 1st of May each year
Parts of USP
- General Notices: presents basic assumptions, definitions, and default conditions for the interpretation and application of USP and NF
- General Chapters:
- Enforceable chapters (1-999) for physical tests, microbiological tests, chemical tests, and assays
- General information chapters (1000-1999) with no mandatory requirement
- Chapters above 2000 apply to dietary ingredients or supplements
- Monograph: provides a specification by way of a name, definition, description, tests, procedures, and acceptance criteria, and sometimes packaging and labeling requirements
- Examples of General Chapters: Weights and Balances, Alcohol Determination, Melting Range or Temperature, etc.
Parts of a Monograph
- Chemical structure and formula
- Purity rubric
- Packaging and storage
- Reference standard
- Identification tests
- Corresponding tests for chemical and physical constants
- Assay procedure
- Water content
Examples of Monographs
- Acetaminophen monograph:
- Chemical structure and formula
- Identification test
- Assay
- Test for impurities
- Specific test
- Packaging and storage
- Reference standard
Review Questions
