How Vanguard tests Apomorphine 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 monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy and a chloride test, assay by titration with sodium hydroxide, organic impurities by HPLC, residue on ignition, optical rotation, loss on drying, and color of solution. Full testing to the USP Apomorphine 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 Apomorphine hydrochloride testing

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

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

Why does apomorphine turn green?

Apomorphine is a catechol that oxidizes quickly in air, light and neutral solution to green and blue quinone products. These appear in the HPLC purity profile, so samples should be kept closed, dark and dry.

Is apomorphine tested as the hemihydrate?

USP apomorphine hydrochloride is the hemihydrate. The water content affects the assay basis, so the report states whether the result is as-is or anhydrous.
