In soluble product - Residual solvents

Hai,


There is a problem for analysis of residual solvents of my drug substance Buclizine .

This substance is not soluble in any solvent. It is sparingly soluble in propaediol, ethanol.

To analyze residual solvents for this product how can I perform sample preparation .

It was not soluble in any solvents like DMF, DMSO, NMP and other organic solvents.

HS residual solvents

At what temperature does the product melt?

best wishes,

Rod

Is

Buclizine , or 1-(p-tert-Butylbenzyl)-4-(p-phenylbenzyl)piperazine dihydrochloride

soluble in water?

soluble in water at 80°C ?

Do you know at what levels it is soluble at these conditions?

best wishes,

Rod

another suggestion is to try to dissolve Buclizine in water: DMAc, 1:1, and heat it to 80°C 10mg per 100 µL or 500 µL

If you have to use a concentration of less than 0.1mg/mL you could always use SPME headspace.

Is the analysis by headspace. If so, waybe benzyl alcohol. I had a similar situation with a compound that was slightly soluble in ethanol. I went with benzyl alcohol and it went into solution after heating to 80°C.

It is not soluble in water at any temperature

thank you for your suggestion ROD

Let me know the melting temperature.

If it is reasonable <120°C you could do headspace analysis just by melting a 1-10mg sample in a vial.

With the appropriate precautions and very long equilibrium times you might be able to do the analysis by equilibrium headspace over a powdered sample.

Thank you peter for your valuable suggestion

I will come back after conducting the experiments.
