Add 200 \u00b5L of a 50% v\/v solution of trifluoroacetic anhydride in acetonitrile and mix for 5 seconds using a vortex mixer, allow to settle and mix again for 5 seconds.<\/p>\n (a) Use a stainless steel column (10 cm \u00d7 3.0 mm) packed with octadecylsilyl silica gel for chromatography (2.5 \u00b5m) (Phenomenex Luna C18 HST is suitable).<\/p>\n (b) Use isocratic elution and the mobile phase described below.<\/p>\n (c) Use a flow rate of 1.2 mL per minute.<\/p>\n (d) Use a column temperature of 40\u00b0.<\/p>\n (e) Use a fluorescence detector with an excitation wavelength of 365 nm and an emission wavelength of 470 nm.<\/p>\n (f) Inject 20 \u00b5L of each solution.<\/p>\n To 120 mL of water add 1.2 mL of orthophosphoric acid and 1.2 mL of triethylamine. Add 1880 mL of acetonitrile, mix and filter through a 0.45-\u00b5m filter.<\/p>\n When the chromatograms are recorded under the prescribed conditions the retention times relative to ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> (retention time, about 7 minutes) are: avermectin B1, about 0.6; ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub>, about 0.8; ivermectin H4B1a, about 1.2).<\/p>\n The test is not valid unless:<\/p>\n in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2), the resolution factor between the peaks due to ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> and ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub> is at least 3.0;<\/p>\n in the chromatogram obtained with solution (4), the signal-to-noise ratio of the principal peak is at least 10.<\/p>\n In the chromatogram obtained with solution (1):<\/p>\n the area of any secondary peak is not greater than 2.5 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (3) (2.5%);<\/p>\n the area of not more than one secondary peak is greater than the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (3) (1%);<\/p>\n the sum of the areas of all the secondary peaks is not greater than 5 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (3) (5%).<\/p>\n Disregard any peak with an area less than the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with solution (4) (0.1%).<\/p>\n Carry out the method for liquid chromatography, Appendix III D, using derivatised solutions (1) and (2) described under Related substances.<\/p>\n The chromatographic conditions described under Related substances may be used.<\/p>\n The test is not valid unless, in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2), the resolution factor between the peaks due to ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> and ivermectin H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub> is at least 3.0.<\/p>\n Determine the weight per ml of the oral solution, Appendix V G, and calculate the content of ivermectin (H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> + H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub>), weight in volume, and the ratio H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> \/ (H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub> + H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub>) using as the declared content the contents of C48<\/sub>H74<\/sub>O14<\/sub> (H2<\/sub>B1a<\/sub>) and C47<\/sub>H72<\/sub>O14<\/sub> (H2<\/sub>B1b<\/sub>) in ivermectin BPCRS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Edition: BP 2025 (Ph.
