How Vanguard tests Diltiazem 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, HPLC retention time and a chloride test, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, residue on ignition, optical rotation, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Diltiazem 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 Diltiazem 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 Diltiazem Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

What is desacetyl diltiazem?

Desacetyl diltiazem forms when the acetate ester of diltiazem hydrolyzes, especially in solution or with heat and moisture. It is the main degradation product and is a separate HPLC peak, 42 mass units lighter.

Is the result reported as the hydrochloride?

Diltiazem is supplied and labeled as the hydrochloride, so results are reported on that basis unless another basis is requested.
