Packaging and storage— Preserve in well-closed containers.
Identification—
A:Infrared Absorption á197Kñ.
B:Ultraviolet Absorption á197Uñ
Solution: 20µg per mL.
Medium: 0.1Nhydrochloric acid.
Absorptivities at 258nm,calculated on the dried basis,do not differ by more than 3.0%.
C: It meets the requirements of the Thin-layer Chromatographic Identification Test á201ñ.Prepare the test solution by dissolving 10mg of Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride in 10.0mLof methanol.Apply 10-µLportions of the test solution and the Standard solution to the plate,and develop in a solvent system consisting of a mixture of ethyl acetate,alcohol,and ammonium hydroxide (90:10:5).
D: It meets the requirements of the tests for Chloride á191ñ.
Melting range,Class Iá741ñ: between 186and 190.
Loss on drying á731ñ Dry it at 105for 4hours:it loses not more than 0.5%of its weight.
Residue on ignition á281ñ: not more than 0.1%.
Heavy metals,Method Iá231ñ Dissolve 1.0g in 20mLof water,add 2mLof 1Nacetic acid,and dilute with water to 25mL:the limit is 0.002%.
Assay— Dissolve about 1.3g of Trimethobenzamide Hydrochloride,previously dried and accurately weighed,in 80mLof glacial acetic acid and 15mLof mercuric acetate TS.Titrate with 0.1Nperchloric acid VS,determining the endpoint potentiometrically using suitable electrodes.Perform a blank determination,and make any necessary correction.Each mLof 0.1Nperchloric acid is equivalent to 42.49mg of C21H28N2O5·HCl.
