[The Cyclandelate Reference Standard (Control 931) of the National Institute of Health Sciences].

Abstract

Raw cyclandelate material was tested for preparation of the "Cyclandelate Reference Standard (Control 931)". Analytical data obtained were as follows: melting point, 57.4 degrees C; ultraviolet spectrum, lambdamax = 252.0, 258.1 and 264.1 nm and E 1cm 1% = 5.85 (252.0 nm), 6.95 (258.1 nm), 5.30 (264.1 nm), respectively; infrared spectrum, the same as that of the JP Cyclandelate Reference Standard; thin-layer chromatography, no impurities were detected up to 1000 micro g; high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), no impurities were detected; loss on drying, 0.03%; assay result, 101.4% by HPLC. Based on the above findings, the raw material was authorized as the JP Cyclandelate Reference Standard (Control 931).
