How Vanguard tests Pioglitazone hydrochloride

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV purity and assay, LC-MS identity, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP Pioglitazone Hydrochloride monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, a chloride test and HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, residue on ignition and water content. Full testing to the USP Pioglitazone Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Pioglitazone hydrochloride testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC with UV detection for purity and assay, and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Pioglitazone Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

Is the result reported as pioglitazone or pioglitazone hydrochloride?

The USP article is the hydrochloride salt, so quantity is reported on that basis by default. We can also report it as the free base if your label states it that way.

Pioglitazone has a chiral center. Does that matter for testing?

Pioglitazone is used as a racemic mixture and its two forms interconvert, so a standard HPLC method treats it as one compound.
