Chromatographic purity—
Diluent—
Dilute 3.12 mL of phosphoric acid with water to 1000 mL.
Buffer solution—
Dissolve 2.16 g of sodium 1-octanesulfonate in 1000 mL of water, and add 1.0 mL of triethylamine. Mix, and adjust with phosphoric acid to a pH of 2.5.
Mobile phase—
Prepare a filtered and degassed mixture of Buffer solution, acetonitrile, and methanol (144:37:19). Make adjustments if necessary (see System Suitability under Chromatography
![]() ![]()
Standard stock solution—
Dissolve an accurately weighed quantity of USP Dextroamphetamine Sulfate RS in Diluent to obtain a solution having a known concentration of about 0.3 mg per mL.
Standard solution—
Dilute an accurately measured volume of Standard stock solution in Diluent to obtain a solution having a known concentration of about 0.003 mg per mL.
Test solution—
Transfer about 30 mg of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, accurately weighed, to a 100-mL volumetric flask. Dissolve in 50 mL of Diluent, sonicate for 5 minutes, dilute with Diluent to volume, and mix.
Chromatographic system (see Chromatography
![]() ![]()
Procedure—
Separately inject equal volumes (about 50 µL) of the Standard solution and the Test solution into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the peak responses. Calculate the percentage of each impurity in the portion of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate taken by the formula:
10,000(C/W)(ri / rS)
in which C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Dextroamphetamine Sulfate RS in the Standard solution; W is the weight, in mg, of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate taken to prepare the Test solution; ri is the peak response for each impurity obtained from the Test solution; and rS is the peak response for amphetamine obtained from the Standard solution: not more than 0.1% of any individual impurity is found; and not more than 0.5% of total impurities is found.
Assay—
Dissolve about 500 mg of Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS, determining the endpoint potentiometrically. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 36.85 mg of (C9H13N)2·H2SO4.
