BRIEFING

Frovatriptan Succinate. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this drug substance, a new monograph based on validated methods of analysis is proposed. The proposal for this drug substance which appeared in PF 41(5) was canceled and is replaced with a new proposal.

  1. The liquid chromatographic procedures in the Assay and Organic Impurities test are based on validation performed with the Inertsil C8-3 brand of column with L7 packing. The typical retention time for frovatriptan is about 6 min in the Assay and about 12 min in the test for Organic Impurities.

  2. The liquid chromatographic procedure in the Limit of D-Camphor Sulfonic Acid test is based on validation performed with the Zorbax SB C8 brand of column with L7 packing. The typical retention time for D-camphor sulfonic acid is about 7 min.

  3. The liquid chromatographic procedure in the Limit of Frovatriptan Enantiomer test is based on validation performed with the Chiralpak AS-H brand of column with L90 packing. The typical retention time for frovatriptan is about 8 min.

Description and solubility information: White to off-white powder. Soluble in water; very slightly soluble in methanol.
