  • European Journal of Scientific Exploration Vol 3 №2 2020
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION VOL 3 №2 2020 Determination of Oligomer Content in Benzonatate Drug Substance by HPLC Lakshmi Narasimha Rao Katakam 1 Santhosh Kumar Ettaboina 2 Thirupathi Dongala 2 1Saptalis Pharmaceuticals LLC, New York, USA 2Aurex Pharmaceuticals Inc, East Windsor, USA Abstract. A reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method has developed and validated to determine oligomer content in Benzonatate Drug substances. This method has a separation of relatively few monomer units, which constitutes an oligomer with a minimum adequate chromatographic resolution of 1.0 from each of the subject component peaks. The separation achieved using Phenomenex Luna C18 (250 X 4.6 mm) 5 µm column at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with an isocratic elution method. The mobile phase consisting of 0.25% Ammonium formate buffer and methanol in the ratio 350:650 (v/v), respectively. The Oligomer compounds detection carried out at UV 310 nm, and the LC method validated as per the current ICH Q2 guidelines. The method is effectively validated and proved to be precise, specific, linear, robust, and rugged to quantitate oligomer content in Benzonatate drug substance. Key words: benzonatate (BNZ), oligomers, HPLC, method validation. Introduction Benzonatate (BNZ) is an oral antitussive drug used to relieve and suppress cough in patients older than ten years of age (Oligomer Wikipedia, 2020). Currently, BNZ is the only non-narcotic antitussive available as a prescription drug. The chemical structure resembles that of the anesthetic agents in the para-amino-benzoic acid class (such as procaine and tetracaine), BNZ exhibits anesthetic or numbing action. BNZ also inhibits the transmission of impulses of the cough reflex in the medulla's vagal nuclei (Tessalon, 2020).

  • 2015-02 Toxicology Rapid Testing Panel
    SOUTH CAROLINA LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION NIKKI R. HALEY MARK A. KEEL Governor Chief FORENSIC SERVICES LABORATORY CUSTOMER NOTICE 2015-02 REGARDING TOXICOLOGY RAPID TESTING PANEL August 12, 2015 This notice is to inform the Coroners of South Carolina of a new testing panel available through the SLED Toxicology Department. On Monday, August 17th, the Toxicology Department will begin offering both a Rapid Testing Panel in addition to the already available Expanded Testing Panel. This Rapid Testing Panel is to be utilized in cases where the Expanded Testing Panel is not warranted, specifically where a cause of death has already been established. The Rapid Testing Panel will consist of volatiles analysis, to include, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol and methanol, drug screens, and drug confirmation/quantitation of positive screens. The cases assigned to the Rapid Testing Panel will have an expedited turnaround time. Targeted turn around times will be two weeks for negative cases and six weeks or less for positive cases. While every effort will be made to adhere to these time frames, additional time may be required on occasion due to the nature of postmortem samples. Submitters will be notified if there is a problem with a particular sample. Please see attachment regarding specifically which substances are covered by the Rapid Testing Panel and the Expanded Testing Panel. As always, a detailed case history and list of drugs suspected is appreciated. Rapid Panel and Expanded Panel will be choices available in iLAB. Please contact Lt. Dustin Smith (803-896-7385) with additional questions. ALI-359-T An Accredited Law Enforcement Agency P.O.
