BRIEFING

Eletriptan Hydrobromide. Because there is no existing USP monograph for this drug substance, a new monograph based on validated methods of analysis is being proposed. Based on comments received, the proposal in PF 43(3) has been canceled and is being replaced with a new proposal.

  1. The LC procedure in the Assay and the test for Organic Impurities, Procedure 1 was validated using the XTerra RP18 brand of column with L1 packing. The typical retention time for eletriptan is about 10 min.

  2. The LC procedure in the test for Limit of Eletriptan S-Enantiomer was validated using the Chiralpak AD-H brand of column with L51 packing. The typical retention times for eletriptan and eletriptan S-enantiomer are about 25 and 30 min, respectively.

  3. The GC-MS procedure in the test for Limit of Isopropyl p-Toluenesulfonate was validated using the Rxi-5MS brand of column with G27 phase. It has been indicated to USP that Isopropyl p-toluenesulfonate should be treated as a potential genotoxic impurity associated with some manufacturing processes. The typical retention time for isopropyl p-toluenesulfonate is about 10 min.

  4. The LC procedure in the test for Organic Impurities, Procedure 2 was validated using the XTerra RP-8 brand of column with L7 packing. The typical retention time for eletriptan is about 12 min.
