Action and use<\/strong><\/p>\n

DEFINITION<\/h2>\n
4,4\u2032-[Hexane-1,6-diylbis(oxy)]dibenzimidamide bis(2-hydroxyethanesulfonate).<\/p>\n
Content<\/h3>\n
98.5 per cent to 101.5 per cent (dried substance).<\/p>\n
PRODUCTION<\/h2>\n
It is considered that alkyl 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate esters are potential impurities in hexamidine diisetionate. The manufacturing process should be developed taking into consideration the principles of quality risk management, together with considerations of the quality of starting materials, process capability and validation including, where necessary, demonstration that alkyl 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate esters are not detectable in the final product.<\/p>\n
CHARACTERS<\/h2>\n
Appearance<\/h3>\n
White or slightly yellow powder, hygroscopic.<\/p>\n
Solubility<\/h3>\n
Sparingly soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol (96 per cent), practically insoluble in methylene chloride.<\/p>\n
IDENTIFICATION<\/h2>\n
A. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry (2.2.24).<\/p>\n
Comparison hexamidine diisetionate CRS.<\/p>\n
B. Dissolve about 40 mg in 5 mL of water R and add dropwise with shaking 1 mL of a 100 g\/L solution of sodium chloride R. Allow to stand for 5 min. An abundant, shimmering white precipitate is slowly formed.<\/p>\n
TESTS<\/h2>\n
Appearance of solution<\/h3>\n
Dissolve 0.50 g in carbon dioxide-free water R, heating at about 70 \u00b0C and dilute to 10 mL with the same solvent. Allow to cool to room temperature for 10-15 min. The solution is not more opalescent than reference suspension II (2.2.1) and not more intensely coloured than intensity 6 of the range of reference solutions of the most appropriate colour (2.2.2, Method II).<\/p>\n
Acidity or alkalinity<\/h3>\n
Dissolve 2.0 g in water R heating at about 50 \u00b0C and dilute to 20 mL with water R heating at about 50 \u00b0C. Allow to cool to about 35 \u00b0C, add 0.1 mL of methyl red solution R. Not more than 0.25 mL of 0.05 M hydrochloric acid or 0.05 M sodium hydroxide is required to change the colour of the indicator.<\/p>\n
Related substances<\/h3>\n
Liquid chromatography (2.2.29).<\/p>\n
Test solution Dissolve 20.0 mg of the substance to be examined in mobile phase A and dilute to 100.0 mL with mobile phase A.<\/p>\n
Reference solution (a) Dilute 1.0 mL of the test solution to 100.0 mL with mobile phase A.<\/p>\n
Reference solution (b) Dilute 1.0 mL of reference solution (a) to 10.0 mL with mobile phase A.<\/p>\n
Reference solution (c) Dissolve 5 mg of the substance to be examined and 5 mg of pentamidine diisetionate CRS in mobile phase A and dilute to 100 mL with mobile phase A. Dilute 2 mL of the solution to 5 mL with mobile phase A.<\/p>\n
