Analysis: Proceed as directed in the Assay for Anti-Factor Xa
Activity, except to use Thrombin human solution instead of
Factor Xa solution and to use the Human antithrombin III
solution as described above.
Calculations: For each series, calculate the regression of the
absorbance against log concentrations of the Sample
solutions and of the Standard solutions, and calculate the
potency of the enoxaparin sodium in the Injection in IU of
Anti-Factor IIa activity/mL using statistical methods for
parallel-line assays. The four independent dilution estimates
are then combined to obtain the final weighted mean. Then
calculate the confidence limits.

NMT 3500 IU/mL.

Chromatographic system (see Chromatography 621)The
gas chromatograph is equipped with a flame-ionization detector
and a split injector system and contains a 0.32-mm 50-m
column with 100% liquid phase G1 with a film thickness of
about 5.0 m. The carrier gas is hydrogen (helium may be
used), flowing at a rate of about 2.9 mL per minute. The auxiliary gas is nitrogen flowing at a rate of about 30 mL per minute. The chromatograph is programmed as follows. Initially the
temperature of the column is equilibrated at 80 , then the temperature is increased at a rate of 10 per minute to 240 , and
maintained at 240 for 15 minutes. The split injector (25:1 split
ratio) temperature is maintained at 200 , and the detector is
maintained at 250 . Chromatograph the Standard solution, and
record the peak responses as directed for Procedure: the relative
retention times are about 0.90 for N-ethylpiperazine and 1.0 for
n-decane.
ProcedureInject a volume (about 1.0 L) of the Standard
solution and the Test solution into the chromatograph, record
the chromatogram, and measure the responses for the major
peaks. Calculate the per centage of the impurity in the portion
of Enrofloxacin taken by the formula:
100(CS / CU)(RU / RS)
in which CS is the concentration of the impurity, in mg per mL,
in the Standard solution; CU is the concentration, in mg per mL,
of Enrofloxacin in the Test solution; RU is the peak response ratio
of the impurity peak to the internal standard peak obtained
from the Test solution; and RS is the peak response ratio of the
impurity peak to the internal standard peak obtained from the
Standard solution. Not more than 0.1% of the impurity is found.
