Structure and names

Identity: Olmesartan medoxomil

IUPAC name: (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl 5-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-2-propyl-3-[[4-[2-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl]methyl]imidazole-4-carboxylate

How Vanguard tests Olmesartan medoxomil

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, a gas chromatography test, residue on ignition, and water content. Full testing to the USP Olmesartan Medoxomil 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 Olmesartan medoxomil 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 Olmesartan Medoxomil monograph is available and quoted.

Why does olmesartan medoxomil break down to olmesartan?

The medoxomil group is an ester that hydrolyzes in water to olmesartan acid. The acid is a separate HPLC peak with a lower mass, so the purity profile shows how much ester has broken down.

Can combination tablets be tested?

Yes. Olmesartan medoxomil is often combined with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide. Each active separates in one HPLC run and is quantified against its own reference standard.

Does the $250 test look for nitrosamines?

No. Trace nitrosamines such as NDMA and NDEA, which can occur in sartans from some synthesis routes, need a dedicated LC-MS/MS or GC-MS method. That testing is quoted separately.
