Examine the solution prepared in the test for absorbance between 220 nm and 350 nm (2.2.25). The solution shows 4 absorption maxima at 230 nm, 291 nm, 305 nm and 319 nm, and a shoulder at 280 nm.<\/p>\n<p>The ratios of the absorbances at the absorption maxima at 291 nm and 319 nm to the absorbance at the absorption maximum at 305 nm are 0.61 to 0.73 and 0.83 to 0.96, respectively. The ratio of the absorbance measured at the absorption maximum at 230 nm to that measured at the shoulder at 280 nm is 0.83 to 1.25.<\/p>\n<p>B. Infrared absorption spectrophotometry (2.2.24).<\/p>\n<p>Comparison: nystatin CRS.<\/p>\n<p>C. To about 2 mg add 0.1 mL of hydrochloric acid R. A brown colour develops.<\/p>\n<p>D. To about 2 mg add 0.1 mL of sulfuric acid R. A brown colour develops that becomes violet on standing.<\/p>\n<p>E. Examine the chromatograms obtained in the test for composition.<\/p>\n<p>Results: The principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution is similar in retention time to the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a).<\/p>\n<h3>TESTS<\/h3>\n<h3>Absorbance (2.2.25)<\/h3>\n<p>Dissolve 0.10 g in a mixture of 5.0 mL of glacial acetic acid R and 50 mL of methanol R and dilute to 100.0 mL with methanol R. Dilute 1.0 mL of the solution to 100.0 mL with methanol R. Determined at the maximum at 305 nm within 30 min of preparation of the solution, the absorbance is not less than 0.60.<\/p>\n<h3>Composition<\/h3>\n<p>Liquid chromatography (2.2.29): use the normalisation procedure.
