General description

Papaverine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of an opiate derivative called papaverine, a benzylisoquinoline compound. It has been found to relax smooth muscles of blood vessels and is used in the management of occlusivity and spasticity of pulmonary, coronary and peripheral arteries.
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.

Application

Papaverine hydrochloride is used as a pharmaceutical reference standard in the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatographic and spectrophotometric techniques.
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Smooth muscle relaxant and cerebral vasodilator; phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

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.
