Tbe 1987 Stability Guidelines state that "It is also suggested that
the following conditions be evaluated in stability studies on solutions or
suspensions of the bulk drug substances .... High oxygen atmosphere,"
Oxidation reactions are relatively rare in pharmaceutical dosage
forros as a main reaction. Sorne oxidation probably takes place in many
cases and rcsults in small amounts of unidentified degradation producís.
When an oxidation reaction is one of the rnain reactions, then it is a

Plotting either ln[kobs] versus ln[C] or [kobsl versus. C should give straight
line plots. In the former case the slope would have to be unity. An
. example of this is (Fig. 4.7) the oxidation of ascorbic acid (Kassam et al.,
1972) (where, however, the slope is not unity).

the reaction rate was proportional to drug concenrra~ion ~d react~t

situation as one which makes the Agency leery about extrapolations,
because it is possible to get a good linear fit to the data at times t < t*,

The problem exists as to how to treat Eq. ~.51 and obtain paramecers
from the untransformed Y versus t cquation. since a. and p and k are not
known. The reason for recasting Eq. -+.50 is to reduce the number of
iterants to one. La~gt numb~ of i~erants in ¡¡ W.º,~~l, are suip~ft:. because e-8-iJ

When the slopes (the rate constants, in unns of day+) are plotted versus
absolute inverse temperature, a good Arrhenius fit is obtained as shown
in Fig. .+.11. It is observed that the activaticn energy is about 18
k Cal/mole, which is a reasonable figure.
