Identification
B:
The retention time of the major peak in the chromatogram of the
Assay preparation corresponds to that in the chromatogram of the
Standard preparation, as obtained in the
Assay.USP29
C:
Add 2 mL of
silver nitrate TS to 10 mL of Dyclonine Hydrochloride solution (1 in 100): a white precipitate is formed. Add 2 mL of nitric acid, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant. Wash the precipitate twice by adding 10 mL of 2 N nitric acid, centrifuging, and discarding the supernatant: the precipitate so obtained is soluble in 6 N ammonium hydroxide.
Assay
Assay preparation
Transfer about 50 mg of Dyclonine Hydrochloride, accurately weighed, to a 500-mL volumetric flask, dissolve in 0.001 N phosphoric acid, dilute with 0.001 N phosphoric acid to volume, and mix.
Procedure
Separately inject equal volumes (about 20 µL) of the
Standard preparation and the
Assay preparation into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the responses for the major peaks. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C

2·HCl in the portion of Dyclonine Hydrochloride taken by the formula:
500C(rU / rS)
in which
C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of
USP Dyclonine Hydrochloride RS in the
Standard preparation; and
rU and
rS are the peak responses obtained from the
Assay preparation and the
Standard preparation, respectively.
