Acepromazine Maleate Injection


DEFINITION
Acepromazine Maleate Injection is a sterile solution of Acepromazine Maleate in Water for Injection. It contains NLT 90.0% and NMT
110.0% of the labeled amount of acepromazine maleate (C19H22N2OS · C4H4O4).
Throughout the following procedures, protect samples, the USP Reference Standard, and solutions containing them, by conducting the
procedures without delay, under subdued light, or using low-actinic glassware.

IDENTIFICATION
Change to read:
• A. ▲SPECTROSCOPIC IDENTIFICATION TESTS 〈197〉, Infrared Spectroscopy: 197K▲ (CN 1-MAY-2020)
Sample: To a volume of Injection, equivalent to 20 mg of acepromazine maleate, add 2 mL of water and 3 mL of 2 N sodium
hydroxide, and extract with two 5-mL portions of cyclohexane. Combine the cyclohexane extracts, and evaporate to dryness under
vacuum, using gentle heat if necessary.
Acceptance criteria: Meets the requirements
• B. The retention time of the major peak of the Sample solution corresponds to that of the Standard solution, as obtained in the Assay.

ASSAY
• PROCEDURE
Buffer: Add 6 mL of triethylamine to 700 mL of water, and adjust with phosphoric acid to a pH of 2.5.
Mobile phase: Acetonitrile and Buffer (300:700)

Standard stock solution: 1 mg/mL of USP Acepromazine Maleate RS in 0.05 N hydrochloric acid
Standard solution: 0.1 mg/mL of USP Acepromazine Maleate RS in water from Standard stock solution
IA
Sample stock solution: 1 mg/mL of Acepromazine Maleate in 0.05 N hydrochloric acid from an appropriately diluted volume of

Analysis
Samples: Standard solution and Sample solution
Calculate the percentage of acepromazine maleate (C19H22N2OS · C4H4O4) in the portion of Injection taken:

Result = (rU/rS) × (CS/CU) × 100

rU = peak area from the Sample solution

rS = peak area from the Standard solution

CS = concentration of USP Acepromazine Maleate RS in the Standard solution (mg/mL)

CU = nominal concentration of the Sample solution (mg/mL)

Acceptance criteria: 90.0%–110.0%

SPECIFIC TESTS
• PH 〈791〉: 4.5–5.8
• BACTERIAL ENDOTOXINS TEST 〈85〉: NMT 4.5 USP Endotoxin Units/mg of acepromazine maleate
