How Vanguard tests Chlorpheniramine maleate

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 HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, and residue on ignition, optical rotation and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Chlorpheniramine 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 Chlorpheniramine maleate 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 assay, with LC-MS to confirm identity. Full testing to the USP Chlorpheniramine monograph is available and quoted.

Is chlorpheniramine maleate racemic?

Yes. It is a racemic mixture, and dexchlorpheniramine is the single S form with its own USP monograph. A standard HPLC purity test does not separate the two, and chiral testing is quoted separately.

What impurities show up in chlorpheniramine?

USP names compounds such as the des-chloro analog pheniramine and di(pyridin-2-yl)amine. These appear as separate peaks in the HPLC purity profile.

Is the result reported as the maleate salt?

Yes, by default. The maleate makes up about 30 percent of the salt by weight, so tell us if you need the free base basis.
