Description

• General description: Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Glucosamine hydrochloride is a drug prescribed for the remediation of degenerative joint diseases in small animals.[1]
• Application: Glucosamine hydrochloride may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations and plasma samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).[1][2][3]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is the precursor of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway leading to the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), which is then used for making glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. D-(+)-Glucosamine inhibits the coaggregation of Candida yeast species with the bacterial strain S. salivarius.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.
• Other Notes: This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
