Structure and names

Identity: Montelukast sodium

IUPAC name: sodium 2-[1-[[(1R)-1-[3-[(E)-2-(7-chloroquinolin-2-yl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-[2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenyl]propyl]sulfanylmethyl]cyclopropyl]acetate

How Vanguard tests Montelukast sodium

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, a sodium test and enantiomeric purity, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC and the enantiomer by chiral HPLC, plus water content. Full testing to the USP Montelukast Sodium 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 Montelukast sodium 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 and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Montelukast Sodium monograph is available and quoted.

Is montelukast sensitive to light?

Yes. Light converts montelukast to its cis isomer, and air oxidizes it to a sulfoxide, both of which show up as impurity peaks in the HPLC purity method. Keep samples in the original packaging and away from light.

Does the $250 test check the enantiomer?

No. Montelukast is a single enantiomer, and its mirror-image form has the same mass and retention time on a standard column. The monograph checks it by chiral HPLC, which is quoted separately.

What sample forms are usually tested?

Powder, film-coated tablets, chewable tablets and oral granules. Each is extracted and reported as percent of the label claim, which is normally stated as montelukast base.
