How Vanguard tests Donepezil 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 two HPLC procedures, and water and residue on ignition. Full testing to the USP Donepezil 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 Donepezil 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 assay, with LC-MS to confirm identity. Full testing to the USP Donepezil Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

Does donepezil hydrochloride come in different hydrate forms?

Yes, it exists in several crystal and hydrate forms. Water content affects an as-is assay, so results are reported as received unless a correction basis is requested.

What forms does donepezil arrive in?

Raw hydrochloride powder, tablets and orally disintegrating tablets. Tablets are extracted and the content is reported per tablet.
