Type of Posting: Notice of Intent to Revise

Posting Date: 29–Dec–2011

Targeted Official Date: Revision Bulletin, 01–Feb–2012

Expert Committee: Monographs—Small Molecules 4

In accordance with section 7.05(c) of the 2010–2015 Rules and Procedures of the Council of Experts, this is to provide notice that the USP Monographs–Small Molecules 4 Expert Committee intends to revise the Limit of Methyldopa and Carbidopa Related Compound A test in the Carbidopa monograph to reflect the change in the way of quantification of Carbidopa Related compound A. Recent evaluation of the current lot of USP Carbidopa Related Compound A RS by USP scientific staff has determined that it no longer suitable for its compendial usage as described in USP34–NF29. The following changes are proposed:

  • Use USP Carbidiopa RS to quantify Carbidopa Related compound A.
  • Remove the USP Carbidopa Related Compound A RS from USP Reference Standards section.

It is anticipated that the proposed revision will be published as a Revision Bulletin on January 27, 2012 with an official date of 01 February 2012, pursuant to section 7.02 of the Rules and Procedures.
