Carry out the method for thin-layer chromatography, Appendix III A, using the following solutions.<\/p>\n (1) Dissolve, by heating on a water bath, a capsule in sufficient water to produce a solution containing 1% w\/v of docusate sodium. Pass 1 mL of this solution with the aid of vacuum through a solid-phase extraction column of 1 mL capacity and containing 0.1 g of an octadecyl-bonded silica sorbent (a Sep-pak C18 column is suitable) previously washed with 2 mL of methanol, followed by 5 mL of water. Wash the column with 2 mL of water, discarding the aqueous eluate and then elute the docusate sodium with 4 mL of methanol, retaining the methanol solution.<\/p>\n (2) 0.25% w\/v of docusate sodium BPCRS in methanol.<\/p>\n (a) Use as the coating silica gel (Merck silica gel 60 plates are suitable).<\/p>\n (b) Use the mobile phase as described below.<\/p>\n (c) Apply 20 pL of each solution.<\/p>\n (d) Develop the plate to 15 cm.<\/p>\n (e) After removal of the plate, dry in air and expose to iodine vapour.<\/p>\n 2 volumes of 13.5M ammonia, 20 volumes of ethanol (96%), 40 volumes of water and 50 volumes of ethyl acetate.<\/p>\n The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) corresponds to that in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2).<\/p>\n B. In the Assay, the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) shows a peak with the same retention time as the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2).<\/p>\n Carry out the method for liquid chromatography, Appendix III D, using the following solutions.<\/p>\n (1) Add 200 mL of water to a number of whole capsules containing 1 g of Docusate Sodium and warm on a water bath until the capsules have dissolved. Add 200 mL of acetonitrile R1, shake the mixture thoroughly and cool. Add sufficient of a mixture of equal volumes of acetonitrile R1 and water to produce 1000 mL, mix well and filter to obtain a clear solution (Whatman No. 1 paper followed by a 0.4-pm filter is suitable).<\/p>\n (2) 0.1% w\/v of docusate sodium BPCRS in a mixture of equal volumes of acetonitrile R1 and water.<\/p>\n (a) Use a stainless steel column (15 cm X 4.6 mm) packed with end-capped octadecylsilyl silica gel for chromatography (5 pm) (Ultracarb ODS is suitable).<\/p>\n (b) Use isocratic elution and the mobile phase described below.<\/p>\n (c) Use a flow rate of 1.5 mL per minute.<\/p>\n (d) Use an ambient column temperature.<\/p>\n (e) Use a detection wavelength of 214 nm.<\/p>\n (f) Inject 25 pL of each solution.<\/p>\n 30 volumes of 0.005M tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate and 70 volumes of acetonitrile R1.<\/p>\n Calculate the content of C20<\/sub>H37<\/sub>NaO7<\/sub>S in the capsules from the chromatograms obtained using the declared content of C20<\/sub>H37<\/sub>NaO7<\/sub>S in docusate sodium BPCRS.<\/p>\n Docusate Capsules should be kept in an airtight container.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Edition: BP 2025 (Ph.
