PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST

Sterile aqueous buffer solutions of different pH values are treated with the test substance and incubated in the dark for 5 days. Concentration of the test substance is determined at the start and at the end of incubation.

TEST CONDITIONS

Test temperature: 50 ¿ 1.0 °C

pH: Hydrolysis was examined at three different pH values: 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0 in the dark.

Buffer solutions:
pH 4.0: 5.11 g Potassium hydrogen phthalate was measured into a 500 ml volumetric flask and 1 ml of 0.2 M Sodium hydroxide solution was added to it and was filled up to the mark with ultra-pure water.
pH 7.0: 3.40 g Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was measured into a 500 ml volumetric flask and 73.9 ml of 0.2 M Sodium hydroxide solution was added to it and was filled up to the mark with ultra-pure water.
pH 9.0: 1.55 g Boric acid and 1.87 g Potassium chloride were measured into a 500 ml volumetric flask and 53.5 ml of 0.2 M Sodium hydroxide solution was added to it and was filled up to the mark with ultra-pure water.

These sterile buffer solutions were prepared using reagent grade chemicals and ultra-pure, sterile water.
The pH of each buffer solution was checked with a calibrated pH meter.

Light: The hydrolysis reaction was carried out using a dark thermostat to avoid photolytic effects.

Oxygen: Nitrogen was bubbled into the water for five minutes before the preparation of the solutions in order to exclude oxygen.


PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST

Test solutions: Kronitex TXP was dissolved in acetone and spiked in sterile buffer solutions. The pH of each buffer solution was checked with a calibrated pH meter.

Storage of the solutions: Solutions were transferred into 25 ml screw cap tubes. From each test solution five tubes were prepared. From control samples two test tubes were prepared.
The tubes were thermostated at 50 °C +/- 1 deg C.

Sampling: The reaction solutions were analysed at the start of the test and after five days with five replicate samples each.

Analysis of the samples: Samples were diluted with eluent, then they were analysed with the above presented HPLC method.

Preliminary study:
In the course of the preliminary test the observed hydrolysis of Kronitex TXP was less than 10 per cent after 5 days at a temperature of 50 °C at pH 4, 7 and 9. Therefore Kronitex TXP is considered to be hydrolytically stable under these circumstances and normally no additional testing is required.

Calibration
The calibration series was prepared in eluent using the test item. It was measured at both analytical occasions. Concentrations of the calibration samples were 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 µg / ml. Parameters of the resulting equations are given in Table 2 below.

Results of the hydrolysis test
The hydrolysis test was performed at 50 +/- 0.5 deg C, at pH 4, 7 and 9. Measured concentrations and pH values are summarised in Table 3 below.
