Carry out the method for thin-layer chromatography, Appendix III A, using a TLC silica gel silanised plate (Merck silanised silica gel 60 plates are suitable) and a mixture of 30 volumes of acetone and 70 volumes of a 15.4% w\/v solution of ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 5.0 with glacial acetic acid as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 1 \u03bcL of each of the following solutions. For solution (1) dilute a quantity of the oral suspension containing the equivalent of 50 mg of flucloxacillin to 20 mL with phosphate buffer pH 7.0. Solution (2) contains 0.25% w\/v of flucloxacillin sodium BPCRS in phosphate buffer pH 7.0. Solution (3) contains 0.25% w\/v of each of cloxacillin sodium BPCRS, dicloxacillin sodium BPCRS and flucloxacillin sodium BPCRS in phosphate buffer pH 7.0. After removal of the plate, allow it to dry in air, expose to iodine vapour until the spots appear and examine in daylight. The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) is similar in position, colour and size to that in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2). The test is not valid unless the chromatogram obtained with solution (3) shows three clearly separated spots.<br \/>\nB. Dilute a quantity of the oral suspension containing the equivalent of 50 mg of flucloxacillin to 20 mL with water, shake to dissolve and filter if necessary. The filtrate yields reaction B characteristic of magnesium salts, Appendix VI.<\/p>\n<h2>TESTS<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Acidity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>pH, 4.8 to 5.8, Appendix V L.<\/p>\n<h2>ASSAY<\/h2>\n<p>Carry out the method for liquid chromatography, Appendix III D, using the following solutions. For solution (1) dilute a weighed quantity of the oral suspension containing the equivalent of 50 mg of flucloxacillin to 50 mL with the mobile phase and dilute 5 volumes of the solution to 50 volumes with the mobile phase. Solution (2) contains 0.011% w\/v of flucloxacillin sodium BPCRS in the mobile phase. Solution (3) contains 0.01% w\/v of each of flucloxacillin sodium BPCRS and cloxacillin sodium BPCRS in the mobile phase.<br \/>\nThe chromatographic procedure may be carried out using (a) a stainless steel column (25 cm \u00d7 4.6 mm) packed with octadecylsilyl silica gel for chromatography (5 \u03bcm) (Hypersil 5 ODS is suitable), (b) as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL per minute a mixture of 25 volumes of acetonitrile and 75 volumes of a 0.27% w\/v solution of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate adjusted to pH 5.0 with 2M sodium hydroxide and (c) a detection wavelength of 225 nm.<br \/>\nThe test is not valid unless, in the chromatogram obtained with solution (3), the resolution factor between the first peak (cloxacillin) and the second peak (flucloxacillin) is at least 2.5.<br \/>\nDetermine the weight per mL of the oral suspension, Appendix V G, and calculate the content of C<sub>19<\/sub>H<sub>17<\/sub>ClFN<sub>3<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub>S, weight in volume, using the declared content of C<sub>19<\/sub>H<sub>16<\/sub>ClFN<sub>3<\/sub>NaO<sub>5<\/sub>S in flucloxacillin sodium BPCRS. Each mg of C<sub>19<\/sub>H<sub>16<\/sub>ClFN<sub>3<\/sub>NaO<sub>5<\/sub>S is equivalent to 0.9538 mg of C<sub>19<\/sub>H<sub>17<\/sub>ClFN<sub>3<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub>S.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the procedure using a portion of the oral suspension that has been stored at the temperature and for the period stated on the label during which it may be expected to be satisfactory for use.<\/p>\n<h2>STORAGE<\/h2>\n<p>The oral suspension should be stored at the temperature and used within the period stated on the label.<\/p>\n<h2>LABELLING<\/h2>\n<p>The quantity of active ingredient is stated in terms of the equivalent amount of flucloxacillin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Action and use Penicillin antibacterial.
