- pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0
The three buffer solutions (pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0) were prepared using Titrisol reagents (Merck) with a precision of 0.1 pH units for each solution. The batch numbers of the reagents were:
⋅ pH 4.0: 0C112733, 0C267163,
⋅ pH 7.0: 0C129522, 0C265097,
⋅ pH 9.0: 00449130, 0C248419.
The water used for the tests was deionised water, prepared at CIT using a Milli-Q apparatus (Millipore).
pH 1.2
Hydrochloride acid at 0.2 N (64.5 mL, Prolabo, ref: 32050602, batch No. X01166) and potassium chloride at 0.2 N (50 mL, Aldrich, ref 31,930-9, batch No. 01322JS) were transferred into a volumetric flask (200 mL) and made to volume with Milli-Q water (Millipore).
Buffer solutions at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 9.0 were prepared. The pH of each buffer solution was checked before use and was degassed using nitrogen (5 minutes). For each buffer solution, one replicate was performed in which an aliquot of the test item was dissolved in a volumetric flask of the buffer solution in a test flask protected from light. A sample (4 mL) of each prepared solution was extracted with n-heptane (2 mL) and analyzed in duplicate with a two-fold dilution in Internal Standard Solution (dodecane, Aldrich, D22, 110-4 at 10 mg/L) in order to determine the initial concentration of the
test item. For each buffer solution, the solution was placed in an oven at specified temperature (temperature was recorded during the test). For each sampling time, the pH value of the solutions was measured, the visual appearance of the solutions noted and samples (4 mL) of each prepared solution were extracted with n-heptane (2 mL) and analyzed in duplicate with a two-fold dilution in Internal Standard Solution. - Estimation method (if used):
- Arrhenius plot of Ln k versus 1/T ( T expressed in Kelvin) was constructed from the data in different tests. The values of the Kobs and the t1/2 at 25 deg C for each pH were obtained by extrapolation.

- The calibration curve was obtained by linear regression analysis of ratio test item peak area/Internal Standard peak area versus concentration. The test item peak area was determined for each sample and the concentration of MMP in each sample was calculated using the equation obtained from the calibration data.
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- The determination was performed in vessels protected from light. No significant variation of pH was observed for any buffer at any time. Resulting solutions at the end of the test were colorless. The results showed that after 3 days, MMP was hydrolyzed in conditions of pH tested at 50 ± 1 deg. C. In accordance with the guidelines, the investigations were continued at each pH since more than 10% after 3 days but less than 50% was hydrolyzed after 2.4 hours.
- Test performance:
- MMP was considered hydrolytically unstable. As the boiling point of test item is 54-55 deg. C, the hydrolysis rate was then determined at two different temperatures (27 deg. C and 37 deg. C) for each buffer and one temperature (37 deg. C) for pH = 1.2. The determination was performed to cover approximately 20-70% hydrolysis.
The results of this test indicated a pseudo-first order reaction kinetic.
