Abstract
The ability to detect traces of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water is an important prerequisite to ensure a safe and reliable use of H2O2 for isolator or cleanroom sanitization. While the residual airborne H2O2 concentration can be easily monitored, detection of trace H2O2 residues in aseptically filled drug products is challenging. In an industrial setting, samples must be pulled, handled, stored, and transported before analysis takes place. Therefore, knowledge about the analyte stability in the relevant matrix is crucial to ensure correct results.
The objective of this study was to provide stability data for the analyte at low concentrations and in aqueous solutions. For this, H2O2 was spiked into four different aqueous matrices at two different concentrations and stored up to 60 days at four different storage temperatures. The tested matrices included water, buffer, and an exemplary excipient solution with and without additional protein.
A developmental quantitative, fluorometric Amplex UltraRed assay was applied for analysis. The results show clearly, that of the four storage temperatures investigated, only -80 °C resulted in reasonably good recovery of the spiked H2O2 content within two weeks or even up to two months of storage.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes research articles, review articles and scientific commentaries on all aspects of the pharmaceutical sciences with emphasis on conceptual novelty and scientific quality. The Editors welcome articles in this multidisciplinary field, with a focus on topics relevant for drug discovery and development.
More specifically, the Journal publishes reports on medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, drug absorption and metabolism, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, drug delivery (including gene delivery), drug targeting, pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutical biotechnology and clinical drug evaluation. The journal will typically not give priority to manuscripts focusing primarily on organic synthesis, natural products, adaptation of analytical approaches, or discussions pertaining to drug policy making.
Scientific commentaries and review articles are generally by invitation only or by consent of the Editors. Proceedings of scientific meetings may be published as special issues or supplements to the Journal.
