L. Gagliardi et al., HPLC DETERMINATION OF AMINOPROPIOPHENONE AS AN IMPURITY IN PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE BULK DRUG AND PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, Analytical letters, 26(5), 1993, pp. 937-945
A method based on reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection is described f
or the determination of the impurity aminopropiophenone in phenylpropa
nolamine bulk drugs and compressed tablets. The only sample preparatio
n necessary for the analysis is its dilution with the mobile phase. Th
e practical detection limit is 30 ppm. The method has been applied for
the analysis of commercial samples.
