How Vanguard tests Cidofovir

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 and enantiomeric purity by HPLC, and water, pH, microbial enumeration and tests for specified microorganisms. Full testing to the USP Cidofovir 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

Tests and prices

Questions about Cidofovir 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 Cidofovir monograph is available and quoted.

Is cidofovir tested as the anhydrous form or the dihydrate?

Cidofovir drug substance is usually the dihydrate, and the monograph gives formulas for both forms. Water content is measured so the assay can be reported on the anhydrous basis or as is.

Does the standard purity test check enantiomeric purity?

No. Cidofovir is a single enantiomer, and the monograph uses a separate chiral HPLC procedure for the other enantiomer. Chiral testing is quoted separately from the $250 test.

Why is cidofovir harder to retain on reversed-phase HPLC?

It is a very polar phosphonic acid, so it elutes early on a standard C18 column. Ion-pairing or highly aqueous conditions are used to hold it back from the solvent front.
