1.0 Description White, odorless powder
Content of
6.0 9.0%–19.6%
Chloride
A1 Appearance:
White, odorless powder
A2 Solubility:
Freely soluble in water
A3 Identification:
The spectrum of sample solution must be concordant with that of standard solution
A4 Optical Rotation:
+20.4° to +21.4°, measured at 25 ºC.
Sample solution: 80 mg/mL in 6 N hydrochloric acid.
A5 Loss on Drying
Dry a sample at 105° for 3 h: it loses
NMT 0.4% of its weight.
A6 Content Of Chloride
Sample: 350 mg of Lysine Hydrochloride
Blank: 140 mL of water
Titrimetric system
Mode: Direct titration
Titrant: 0.1 N silver nitrate VS
Endpoint detection: Visual
Analysis: Transfer the Sample to a porcelain casserole, and add 140 mL of water and 1
mL of dichlorofluorescein TS.
Titrate with the Titrant until the silver chloride flocculates and the mixture acquires a faint
pink color. Perform the
Blank determination.

Analysis
Samples: Standard solution, System suitability solution, and Sample solution
Dry the plate between 100° and 105° until the ammonia
completely disappears. Spray with Spray reagent, and
heat between 100° and 105° for 15 min. Examine the
plate under white light.
Acceptance criteria: Any secondary spot of the Sample
solution is not larger or more intense than the principal spot
of the Standard solution.
Individual impurities: NMT 0.5%
Total impurities: NMT 2.0%
A11 Assay
Sample: 90 mg of Lysine Hydrochloride
Blank: Mix 3 mL of formic acid and 50 mL of glacial acetic acid.
Titrimetric system
Mode: Direct titration
Titrant: 0.1 N perchloric acid VS
Endpoint detection: Potentiometric
Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in 3 mL of formic acid and 50 mL of glacial acetic acid.
Add 10 mL of mercuric acetate TS, and titrate with the Titrant. Perform the Blank
determination.
Calculate the percentage of lysine hydrochloride
(C6H14N2O2 · HCl) in the Sample taken:
Result = {[(V S − V B) × N × F]/W} × 100
V S = Titrant volume consumed by the Sample (mL)
V B = Titrant volume consumed by the Blank (mL)
N = actual normality of the Titrant (mEq/mL)
F = equivalency factor, 91.33 mg/mEq
