Chromatographic system
(see Chromatography á621ñ)—The gas chromatograph is equipped with a flame-ionization detector and a 1.2-m ×4-mm glass column containing 3%phase G3on support S1AB.The column temperature is maintained at about 190,and the injection port and detector temperatures are both maintained at about 250.The carrier gas is dry helium,flowing at a rate adjusted to obtain a retention time of 6to 7minutes for the main peak.Chromatograph the Test preparation,record the chromatogram,and determine the peak area as directed for Procedure:the tailing factor for the brompheniramine maleate peak is not more than 1.8.

Procedure—
Inject a volume (about 1µL)of the Test preparationinto the chromatograph.Record the chromatogram for a total time of not less than twice the retention time of the brompheniramine peak,and measure the areas of the peaks.The total relative area of all extraneous peaks (except that of the solvent peak and maleic acid,if observed)does not exceed 2.0%.
Organic volatile impurities,Method Iá467ñ:
meets the requirements.
Assay—
Dissolve about 425mg of Brompheniramine Maleate,previously dried and accurately weighed,in 50mLof glacial acetic acid.Add 1drop of crystal violet TS,and titrate with 0.1Nperchloric acid VSto a green endpoint.Perform a blank determination,and make any necessary correction.Each mLof 0.1Nperchloric acid is equivalent to 21.77mg of C16H19BrN2·C4H4O4.
