How Vanguard tests Scopolamine hydrobromide

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: Chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, a chlorine color test and HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, residue on ignition, optical rotation, pH, and water by loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Scopolamine Hydrobromide 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 Scopolamine hydrobromide testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by a chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound. Full testing to the USP Scopolamine Hydrobromide monograph is available and quoted.

Can the test tell scopolamine from atropine or hyoscyamine?

Yes. Scopolamine has an epoxide oxygen that atropine and hyoscyamine lack, so it differs in mass and separates by HPLC.

Does scopolamine break down?

Scopolamine hydrolyzes to scopine and tropic acid, and can lose water to aposcopolamine. These products appear as separate peaks in the purity profile.

Why is water content important for scopolamine hydrobromide?

USP material is the trihydrate, with about 12 percent water. The assay basis, as-is or anhydrous, is stated on the report.
