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

Antiprotozoal (malaria).<\/p>\n

DEFINITION<\/h2>\n

(1RS)-3-(Dibutylamino)-1-[1,3-dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthren-9-yl]propan-1-ol hydrochloride.<\/p>\n

Content<\/h3>\n

97.5 per cent to 102.0 per cent (dried substance).<\/p>\n

CHARACTERS<\/h2>\n

Appearance<\/h3>\n

White or almost white powder.<\/p>\n

Solubility<\/h3>\n

Practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol (96 per cent).<\/p>\n

It shows polymorphism (5.9).<\/p>\n

IDENTIFICATION<\/h2>\n

A. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry (2.2.24).<\/p>\n

Comparison: halofantrine hydrochloride CRS.<\/p>\n

If the spectra obtained in the solid state show differences, dissolve the substance to be examined and the reference substance separately in methyl ethyl ketone R, evaporate to dryness and record new spectra using the residues.<\/p>\n

B. Dissolve about 30 mg in 2 mL of methanol R. The solution gives reaction (a) of chlorides (2.3.1); use methanol R instead of water R to wash the precipitate.<\/p>\n

Identification of impurities: Use the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (d) to identify the peak due to impurity C.<\/p>\n

Relative retention: With reference to halofantrine (retention time = about 6 min): impurity C = about 1.2.<\/p>\n

System suitability:<\/p>\n

\u2014 resolution: minimum 3.3 between the peaks due to halofantrine and impurity C in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (d).<\/p>\n

Limits:<\/p>\n

\u2014 unspecified impurities: for each impurity, not more than the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (c) (0.10 per cent);<\/p>\n

\u2014 total: not more than 5 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (c) (0.5 per cent);<\/p>\n

\u2014 disregard limit: 0.5 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (c) (0.05 per cent).<\/p>\n

Loss on drying (2.2.32)<\/h4>\n

Maximum 0.5 per cent, determined on 1.000 g by drying in an oven at 105 \u00b0C for 4 h.<\/p>\n

STORAGE<\/h2>\n

Protected from light.<\/p>\n

IMPURITIES<\/h2>\n

Other detectable impurities (the following substances would, if present at a sufficient level, be detected by one or other of the tests in the monograph. They are limited by the general acceptance criterion for other\/unspecified impurities and\/or by the general monograph Substances for pharmaceutical use (2034). It is therefore not necessary to identify these impurities for demonstration of compliance. See also 5.10. Control of impurities in substances for pharmaceutical use) A, B, C.<\/p>\n
