Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test substance: Synacure-150
Molecular mass: 408.54 g·mol-1
Molecular formula: C26H32O4
Radiolabelling:
no
Analytical monitoring:
no
Details on sampling:
The hydrolysis of Synacure-150 was studied in buffer solutions at pHs 4, 7 and 9.
The concentration of the active ingredient was determined by LC/MS immediately after the preparation of the solution, and subsequently samples were incubated at 25, 35 and 50°C for a period of 30 days.
The samples were taken at the following timepoints:
0, 2, 7, 12, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days.

A sterility confirmation test was conducted at the end of the experiment.
Buffers:
Buffer solution Composition Buffer

pH 4 Potassium biphthalate monobasic. Phthalate buffer
pH 7 Potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium hydroxide. Phosphate buffer
pH 9 Boric acid, potassium chloride and sodium hydroxide. Borate buffer
pH 10 Boric acid, potassium chloride and sodium hydroxide. Borate buffer

ELIMINATING OXYGEN

In order to eliminate oxygen, nitrogen was bubbled for a period of about 5 minutes, in ultrapure water and buffer solutions, before sterilization of the solutions. Each solution used in this study (as described below) were prepared in a laminar flow chamber, in order to minimize the risk of microbial contamination of the solutions.

Preliminary study:
It was found during the preliminary test, that the concentration of the active ingredient was greater than 10% relative to its initial concentration for pHs 4, 7 and 9. In this case, it is necessary the conduction of the definitive test, since results of the preliminary test indicated that the test substance is unstable, with an estimated half-life less than one year (t½ > 1 year).

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
At pHs 4, 7 and 9, the test substance showed to be unstable at 25, 35 and 50°C with half-lives of less than one year. The half-lives were 43.83 days at 25°C, 34.51 days at 35°C and 20.12 days at 50°C for pH 4. For pH 7 the half-lives were 44.31 days at 25°C, 44.28 days at 35°C and 49.36 days at 50°C and for pH 9 the values were 40.20 days at 25°C, 23.43 days at 35°C and 18.25 days at 50°C.
