OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of four preparation methods and extended storage on rifampin concentration in extemporaneously prepared suspensions. DESIGN: Four preparation methods were used: mixing intravenous (iv) rifampin in syrup (A); manufacturer's recommended technique of mixing capsule (Rifadin) contents in syrup (B); triturating capsule contents in syrup into a paste and adding remaining syrup while mixing (C); and triturating capsule contents in syrup into a paste, adding syrup, retriturating the slurry, and adding remaining syrup while mixing (D). Samples were drawn from each of five bottles of each of the four preparations stored at 4 °C, immediately after mixing (day 0), and on days 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 91 days during storage. Rifampin wes measured by a stability-indicating HPLC method. RESULTS: The measured mean concentrations of rifampin were nearly 100 percent of the initial concentration in the suspension prepared from iv rifampin solution (method A) during the first 56 days of storage. In contrast, the measured concentrations were substantially lower than expected in the suspensions prepared by methods B, C, and D. The mean rifampin concentrations in suspensions prepared by methods B, C, and D were only 14.5, 38.6, and 68 percent, respectively, of the initial concentration achieved by method A. The rifampin concentrations increased with storage time in suspensions prepared by methods B, C, and D. The mean rifampin concentration was lower than 90 percent during the first 14 days with methods B and C, and the first 7 days with method D. The highest mean concentrations were observed on day 42 with method B, and on day 28 with methods C and D. All methods yielded 90% of the labeled potency (10 mg/mL) on day 56. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that preparation method can influence the dispersion, and thus the measured concentration, of rifampin in aliquots of suspensions prepared from capsules and stored in plastic bottles. Suspensions prepared from capsules led to lower-than-expected rifampin concentrations; those prepared from iv rifampin did not. Rifampin was stable in each type of suspension for 56 days at 4 °C.

BACKGROUND: The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ), used in antineoplastic chemotherapy, must be diluted in NaCl 0.9% for injection and stored for no more than 3 hours in a syringe or 8 hours in a vial. Better information on its stability could improve storage. OBJECTIVE: To assess the stability of BTZ solution (1 mg/mL) in syringes and vials. METHODS: BTZ 1-mg/mL solutions were prepared by adding sterile NaCl 0.9% to Velcade vials containing 3.5 mg of lyophilized BTZ. Syringes were filled with 1 mL of solution and stored in the dark at 5 °C or 60 °C; others were not protected from light and stored at 22 °C. Velcade vials containing 1 mL of solution were stored at 5 °C in the dark. Samples were taken at various times over 23 days and assayed in duplicate. An HPLC method for assaying the stability of BTZ was validated. Appearance and pH were recorded. RESULTS: There was no color change or precipitation in the samples, and the pH was stable. Oxidation, light, and storage temperature all affected the chemical stability of BTZ. The mean concentrations of BTZ in syringes stored for 2, 3, and 5 days at 60, 22, and 5 °C were >95% of the initial concentration. The mean concentration of BTZ in vials stored for 5 days at 5 °C was >95% of the initial concentration. CONCLUSIONS: BTZ stored refrigerated in vials or syringes and protected from light is chemically stable for 5 days after reconstitution.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the stability of spironolactone in an extemporaneously prepared suspension at 22 and 4°C over a three-month storage period. DESIGN: Spironolactone suspension (1 mg/mL) was prepared in syrup NF, carboxymethylcellulose, and purified water USP. The suspension was stored in ten amber glass prescription bottles; five were stored at 22°C and five at 4°C. Samples were drawn from each bottle and analyzed in duplicate (n=10) on days 0, 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 91. Spironolactone concentrations were measured by a reproducible and stability-indicating HPLC method. Inspection of visual and pH changes also was performed on each study day. RESULTS: The mean concentration of spironolactone was always higher than 98 percent of its initial concentration. The pH and appearance of the suspension did not change substantially. CONCLUSIONS: Spironolactone was stable in a suspension containing syrup, carboxymethylcellulose, and purified water for three months during storage in amber glass bottles at both 22 and 4°C.

Methods for preparing raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs for enrichment or direct plating to determine the presence and populations of pathogenic bacteria vary greatly. A study was done to compare three sample processing methods (washing in 0.1% peptone, stomaching, and homogenizing) for their influence on recovery of Salmonella inoculated onto 26 types of raw produce. The mean numbers of Salmonella recovered from 10 fruits, 11 vegetables, and 5 herbs using all three processing methods were 7.17, 7.40, and 7.27 log10 CFU/sample, respectively. Considering all 26 types of produce and all processing methods, the number of Salmonella recovered ranged from 7.24 to 7.29 log10 CFU/sample, with no significant differences attributable to a particular sample processing method. Mean percent recoveries of Salmonella from washed, stomached, and homogenized produce were 39.4, 44.7, and 42.4%, respectively. Mean percent recoveries from fruits, vegetables, and herbs, regardless of sample preparation method, were 41.7, 50.1, and 25.9%, respectively. The number of Salmonella recovered from stomached and homogenized produce, but not washed produce, with pH ≤ 4.53 was significantly less than the number recovered from produce with pH from 5.53 to 5.99, suggesting that the acidic environment in stomachates and homogenates was lethal to a portion of Salmonella. Reduced percent recoveries from herbs (pH 5.94 to 6.34) is attributed, in part, to antimicrobials released from plant cells during sample preparation. Overall, the type of processing method did not substantially affect the number of Salmonella recovered from the 26 types of raw produce representing a wide range of structural and morphological characteristics, composition, and pH. The influence of sample size, diluent composition, and processing time on efficiency of recovery of Salmonella and other pathogens needs to be evaluated before a method(s) for processing samples of raw produce can be recommended.

The effect of the applied starter cultures and storage time of fermented milk drinks on the content of cis-9, trans-11 octadecadienoic acid (CLA), as well as trans isomers of C18:1 and C18:2 acids were evaluated. The analysed fermented milk drinks were produced by the thermostat method and with three different starter cultures. Analyses were carried out for freshly produced fermented milk drinks and for stored drinks (analyses after 6, 13, and 21 days of storage). The study demonstrated that the type of applied starter culture and storage time affected the content of CLA and of trans isomers of C18:1 acid in fermented milk drinks. Among the starter cultures applied, only the Ceska-star Y508 culture caused a significant increase in CLA content in the stored fermented milk drinks. The mean content of CLA in fresh drinks reached to 3.60 mg/g fat. The significantly higher CLA contents (3.85 and 3.89 mg/g fat) were found in drinks after 6 and 13 days of storage, respectively. The content of trans isomers of C18:1 acid in fresh products was 15.92 mg/g fat. In drinks analysed after 6 days of storage it was 17.14 mg/g fat.

A stability indicating RP-HPLC method has been developed for quantification of Cilnidipine in bulk and in tablet dosage form. The chromatographic analysis was accomplished at ambient temperature on Xttera RP18 (100 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm) column and 1 mL/min flow rate by using Eluent composed of 10 mM phosphate buffer pH 2.6 with Acetonitrile (300:700, v/v). The UV detection at the wavelength of 240 nm was carried out using 20 µL injection volume. The Cilnidipine retention time was found to be 3.029 min. The method in the range of 40.0573 – 120.1719 µg/mL was found to be linear (R2 = 0.999) with a detection limit and quantitation limit of 1.2038 and 3.6478 μg/mL, respectively. The mean recovery % over the three tested levels of 50, 100, and 150% were found to be 98.74, 99.60, and 98.23%, respectively. The mean % assay of 99.29 for method repeatability and 98.82 for intermediate precision were found with % RSD of 0.68 and 0.31, respectively. Cilnidipine drug substance and their product exposed to acid, alkali, oxidative, thermal, photolytic, and humidity stress conditions. The acid, alkali, and photolytic induced stress studies signifying the formation of a variety of degradants and their peaks were well resolved from that of active analyte peak. Hence, it is recommended that the Cilnidipine drug substance, as well as drug product, should be store in a tightly closed container protected from light. The method as per ICH guidelines was validated for specificity, linearity, detection limit, quantitation limit, precision, accuracy, robustness, solution stability, and can be effectively used for routine analysis.
