Analysis of Alendronate Sodium Hydrate According to JP Method (2) (DS-413)

Alendronic acid is widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis. According to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP XVII*), “(2) Related substances" for “Alendronate Sodium Hydrate" should be carried out with a column filled with styrene divinylbenzene copolymer. The RSpak DS-613 confirmed the requirements were met.

System suitability requirementsElution order (Solution for system performance): Alendronic acid,4-Aminobutyric acid
Resolution between alendronic acid and 4-aminobutyric acid (Solution for system performance): ≥ 6
Relative standard deviation (RSD) of the peak area of alendronic acid (Stadandard solution): ≤ 2.0% (repeated 6 times)
