Updates and amendments of the quality standard of nitroglycerin tablets in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020
Objective:To propose updates and amendments for the nitroglycerin tablets quality in the Chinese phar-macopoeia 2020 due to the failure of effective separation of 4 known impurities and nonseparation of free nitrate ion and excipients.Methods:Related substances were analyzed using gradient elution by HPLC,and free nitrate ion was determined on SAX column by different HPLC method.Results:Using the improved method to test the related substances and free nitrate ion of nitroglycerin tablets,the content of the maximum individual impurity were not more than 0.5%,the total content was not more than 2.4%and the content of free nitrate ion was not more than 6.3%.Conclusion:The improved method is accurate and feasible.It provided a reference for the updates and amend-ments of the quality standard of nitroglycerin tablets in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020.
