<strong>WHO</strong> <strong>Drug</strong> <strong>Information</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>No</strong>. 2, <strong>2004</strong><br />

Dissolve about 0.200 g, accurately weighed, in 50 ml glacial acetic acid R1 and titrate with perchloric<br />

acid (0.1 mol/l) VS as described under “<strong>No</strong>n-aqueous titration”; Method A (<strong>Vol</strong>. 1, p.131*) determining<br />

the end point potentiometrically.<br />

Each ml of perchloric acid (0.1 mol/l) VS is equivalent to 23.62 mg of C 10 H 12 N 4 O 3 .<br />

Tested impurities<br />

A. “Hypoxanthine” = 1,7-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

B. “Inosine” = 9-ß-D-ribofuranosyl-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

C. “2’-Deoxyinosine” = 9-(2-deoxy-ß-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

D. “2’,3’-Didehydrodidanosine” = 9-[(2R,5S)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl]-1,9-dihydro-6Hpurin-6-one;<br />

9-(2,3-dideoxy-ß-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

E. “Didanosine acetate” = [(2S,5R)-5-(6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-9H-purin-9-yl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]methyl<br />

acetate; 9-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-ß-D-glycero-pentofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

F. “3’-Deoxyinosine” = 9-(3-deoxy-ß-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

G. “Olefine” =[(2S,5R)-5-(6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-9H-purin-9-yl)-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-yl]methyl acetate ; 2',3'didehydrodidanosine<br />

acetate; 9-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-ß-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-<br />

6H-purin-6-one<br />

H. “Dioxolane” = 9-[(2RS,3aR,4R,6R,6aR)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxy-2-methyltetrahydrofuro[3,4-d]-<br />

1,3-dioxol-4-yl]-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one; 2',3'-O-(1-methoxyethylidene)inosine ; 9-[2,3-O-[(1RS)-1methoxyethylene]-ß-D-ribofuranosyl]-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

I. “Bromoesters” = mixture of 9-(3,5-di-O-acetyl-2-bromo-2-deoxy-ß-D-arabinofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-<br />

6H-purin-6-one and 9-(2,5-di-O-acetyl-3-bromo-3-deoxy-ß-D-xylofuranosyl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one<br />

Reagents<br />

Hypoxantine R. 1,7-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one; C 5 H 4 N 4 O.<br />

A commercially available reagent of suitable grade.<br />

Description. A white, crystalline powder.<br />

Solubility. Very slightly soluble in water, sparingly soluble in boiling water, soluble in dilute acids and<br />

in dilute alkali hydroxide solutions.<br />

Melting point. Decomposes without melting at about 150˚C.<br />

Thin-Layer Chromatography. Examine as prescribed in the monograph on Mercaptopurine (<strong>Vol</strong>. 4,<br />

p.77-79*); the chromatogram shows only one principal spot.<br />
