Study design

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Sampling intervals/times for pH measurements:
Temperatures (calibrated glass/mercury thermometer No. 249) and pH (pH-meter InoLab pH Level 2, WTW, Germany) were
recorded at each analysis.

Sampling intervals/times for sterility check:
The determination of the sterility was not necessary because the test substance is stable to hydrolysis at each pH-value tested

Sample storage conditions before analysis:
Portions of the solutions were taken from the flasks, diluted with water and the concentration of the test substance was analysed by HPLC immidiatelly after derivatisation.
Buffers:
Buffer solutions

Buffer pH 4:
250 mL 0.1 mol/L potassium dihydrogen citrate and 45 mL 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide filled up to 500 mL with water.

Buffer pH 7:
250 mL 0.1 mol/L potassium dihydrogenphosphate and 148.2 mL 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide filled up to 500 mL with water.

Buffer pH 9:
250 mL 0.1 mol/l boric acid in 0.1 mol/L potassium chloride and 106.5 mL 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide filled up to 500 mL with water.

The water (for analysis; Merck; Lot. No. HC805974) was autoclaved before use.
The actual pH for the buffers are shown in the following Table:
target pH actual pH in the preliminary test
4 4.01
7 6.99
9 9.00

To eliminate possible interactions of the test substance with the buffer compounds the used buffers were diluted resulting in
concentrationsof approximately 0.025 mol/L.
Details on test conditions:
In the preliminary test, solutions of <50 % saturation respectively <0.01 mol/L (<1.8 g/L) of the test substance in buffers with pH
values of 4,7 and 9 were kept at 50 °C and the concentration of "3-[(2-aminoethyl)ammonio]propane-1-sulfonate" was determined
after various times up to a maximum of 5 days.
pH 4, pH7 and pH 9
A stock solution of the test substance was prepared by weighing 265.1 mg of the test substance in 250 mL autoclaved water.
Approximately 50 mL of the stock solution was filled up to 100 mL with the appropriate buffer each. Afterwards nitrogen was
bubbled through the solutions to exclude oxygen. The concentration of the resulting solutions were lower than 50 % saturation
respectively <0.01 mol/L.
The solutions were kept in a water bath (DL 30 V26 TOX1, accuracy:  0.01 °C; Haake, Karlsruhe, Germany) respectively in a
peltier-cooled incubator (IPP200, Memmert, Germany) at the test temperature in the dark.
Temperatures (calibrated glass/mercury thermometer No. 249) and pH (pH-meter InoLab pH Level 2, WTW, Germany) were
recorded at each analysis.
Main test
Due to the results of the preliminary tests, no main tests were performed in agreement with the guideline.
