`internal diameter packed with octadecylsilyl silica gel for
`chromatography R (5 µm),
`— as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min a mixture
`of 6 volumes of glacial acetic acid R, 30 volumes of
`acetonitrile R and 64 volumes of water R,
`— as detector a spectrophotometer set at 254 nm,
`— a 10 µl loop injector.
`Inject reference solution (c). Adjust the sensitivity of the
`system so that the height of the peaks are at least 50 per

`with the reference solutions, locate and integrate the peak
`due to glycyrrhizic acid in the chromatogram obtained with
`the test solution.

`
`Mr 441.5
`
`DEFINITION
`Lisinopril dihydrate contains not less than 98.5 per
`cent and not more than the equivalent of 101.5 per
`cent of (2S)-1-[(2S)-6-amino-2-[[(1S)-1-carboxy-3-
`phenylpropyl]amino]hexanoyl]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid,
`calculated with reference to the anhydrous substance.
`
`CHARACTERS
`A white or almost white, crystalline powder, soluble in
`water, sparingly soluble in methanol, practically insoluble in
`acetone and in ethanol.
`
`IDENTIFICATION
`Examine by infrared absorption spectrophotometry (2.2.24),
`comparing with the spectrum obtained with lisinopril
`dihydrate CRS. Examine the substances prepared as discs.
`
`TESTS
`Specific optical rotation (2.2.7). Dissolve 0.5 g in zinc
`acetate solution R and dilute to 50.0 ml with the same
`solvent. The specific optical rotation is −43 to −47,
`calculated with reference to the anhydrous substance.
`Related substances. Examine by liquid chromatography
`(2.2.29).
`Test solution. Dissolve 20.0 mg of the substance to be
`examined in mobile phase A and dilute to 10.0 ml with the
`same mobile phase.
`Reference solution (a). Dissolve the contents of 1 vial of
`lisinopril dihydrate for performance test CRS with 1.0 ml of
`mobile phase A.
`Reference solution (b). Dilute 0.5 ml of the test solution to
`50.0 ml with mobile phase A.
`The chromatographic procedure may be carried out using:
`— a stainless steel column 0.25 m long and 4.6 mm in
`internal diameter packed with octylsilyl silica gel for
`chromatography R,
`— as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.8 ml/min:
`Mobile phase A. Prepare a mixture of 30 volumes of
`acetonitrile R and 970 volumes of a 3.12 g/l sodium
`dihydrogen phosphate R solution adjusted to pH 5.0 with
`a 50 g/l solution of sodium hydroxide R,
`Mobile phase B. Prepare a mixture of 200 ml of
`acetonitrile R and 800 ml of a 3.12 g/l sodium
`dihydrogen phosphate R solution adjusted to pH 5.0 with
`a 50 g/l solution of sodium hydroxide R,

`— as detector a spectrophotometer set at 210 nm,

`Equilibrate the column with mobile phase A for at least
`30 min. Adjust the sensitivity of the system so that the
`height of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained
`with 20 µl of reference solution (b) is at least 50 per cent of
`the full scale of the recorder.
`Inject 20 µl of reference solution (a). The resulting
`chromatogram resembles that of the specimen
`chromatogram supplied with lisinopril dihydrate for
`performance test CRS in that the peaks due to impurity A
`and impurity E fall on either side of the peak due to lisinopril.

`peaks due to impurity A and impurity E and the heights B1
`and B2 above the baseline of the lowest points of the curve
`separating these peaks from the peak due to lisinopril. The
`test is not valid unless A1 is greater than nine times B1 and
`A2 is greater than nine times B2.
`If necessary, adjust the pH of the mobile phase to 4.5 with
`phosphoric acid R and repeat the chromatography. A further
`adjustment to pH 4.0 may be necessary with some columns
`before satisfactory separation of impurity A, lisinopril and
`impurity E is obtained. If, after adjustment, the retention
`time of the peak due to impurities C and D becomes extended
`to the point where integration becomes difficult, increase the
`content of mobile phase B from 30 per cent to 40 per cent
`over the interval from 35 min to 45 min from the start of the
`chromatogram. Maintain this concentration for a further
`10 min. Return the concentration of mobile phase A to
`100 per cent over the next 10 min prior to the next injection.
`Inject 20 µl of the test solution and 20 µl of reference
`solution (b). In the chromatogram obtained with the test
`solution: the area of any peak due to impurity E is not
`greater than 0.3 times the area of the principal peak in the
`chromatogram obtained with reference solution (b) (0.3 per
`cent); the area of any peak, apart from the principal peak
`and any peak due to impurity E, is not greater than 0.3 times
`the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained
`with reference solution (b) (0.3 per cent) and the sum of
`the areas of all such peaks is not greater than half the area
`of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with
`reference solution (b) (0.5 per cent). Disregard any peak due
`to the solvent, any peak occurring in the first 3 minutes and
`any peak with an area less than 0.05 times the area of the
`principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference
`solution (b).
`Water (2.5.12): 8.0 to 9.5 per cent, determined on 0.200 g
`by the semi-micro determination of water.
`Sulphated ash (2.4.14). Not more than 0.1 per cent,
`determined on 1.0 g.

`with 0.1 M sodium hydroxide, determining the end-point
`potentiometrically (2.2.20).
`1 ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 40.55 mg
`of C21H31N3O5.
