FUROSEMIDE TABLETS - 2020-08-01

Change
Mobile phase, Diluting solution, System suitability solution, and Chromatographic system—Prepare as directed in the test for Related compounds under Furosemide.
to:
Mobile phase—Prepare a filtered and degassed mixture of water, tetrahydrofuran, and glacial acetic acid (70:30:1). Make adjustments if necessary (see System Suitability under Chromatography <621>).
Diluting solution—Dilute 22 mL of glacial acetic acid with a mixture of acetonitrile and water (50:50) to 1000 mL, and mix.
System suitability solution—Dissolve suitable quantities of USP Furosemide RS and USP Furosemide Related Compound A RS in Diluting solution to obtain a solution containing about 20 µg per mL and 12 µg per mL, respectively.
Chromatographic system (see Chromatography <621>)—The liquid chromatograph is equipped with a detector capable of recording at both 254 nm and 272 nm and a 4.6-mm x 25-cm column that contains packing L1. [NOTE—The 2,4-dichloro-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid impurity does not respond at 272 nm and the 2,4-bis(furfurylamino)-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid impurity has a very intense absorbance at 254 nm.] The flow rate is about 1.0 mL per minute. Chromatograph the System suitability solution, and record the peak responses as directed for Procedure: the resolution, R, between furosemide and furosemide related compound A is not less than 2.5; and the relative standard deviation determined from furosemide is not more than 2.0%. [NOTE—The response for furosemide is at 254 nm.]
