The effect of ionizing radiation on metoprolol

Abstract: The influence of ionising radiation on physico-chemical properties of metoprolol tartrate (MT) in solid phase was studied. The compound was irradiated by radiation produced by a beam of high-energy electrons in an accelerator, in doses from 25 to 400 kGy, and the possible changes in the samples were detected by organoleptic analysis (colour, forms, clarity), chromatographic and spectrometric methods. Already at the standard sterilisation dose of 25 kGy, the presence of free radicals (0.3764 × 10(16) spin/g) an… Show more

“…It is known that the presence of impurities including decomposition products and also radiodegradation products, causes a decrease in the melting point of a given drug. The melting point of non-irradiated nadolol sample was in the range 129.5-135.9°C (Table 1) which is in agreement with literature values 124-136°C (Moffat et al 2011).…”

“…However, inspecting the decrease of melting point (T f ) of the metoprolol tartrate with the absorbed doses D (Fig. 13) it was observed similar behaviour with the decrease of pH of metoprolol tartrate solution used in the previous work 3 . We conclude that there is probably a causal correlation revealed by Fig.…”
