Study on Stabilization of Promazine Hydrochloride Injection

염산(鹽酸)Promazine 주사제(注射劑)의 안정화(安定化)에 관한 연구(硏究)

The stabilizing effect of promazine hydrochloride injectin was tested by irradiation of sun lamp(5,000 Lux) on their acid solution sealed in ampules under various stabilizers. The result of experimentation on the color change, the remaining proportion and the half life of promazine hydrochloride solution is as follows. 1. Instability of promazine hydrochloride solution is mainly caused by the sunlight and oxygen. 2. The pH range of promazine hydrochloride injection is recommended to $pH\;4.4{\sim}5.2$ 3. The decomposition of promazine hydrochloride by the sunlight is composed of pseudo zero order reaction when It maintains colorless solution. 4. The half life of 0.5% promazine hydrochloride injection was 30 hrs. under sun lamp irradiation, but it was delayed to 84 hrs. by the simple stabilizer and to 175 hrs. by compound stabilizer. 5. The stabilizing effect of promazine .hydrochloride injection adding sod. metabisulfite$(Na_2S_2O_5)$ was most excellent in various simple stabilizers and adding $Na_2S_2O_5$ to nicotinic acid, $Na_2S_2O_5$ to nicotinamide were more excellent than other compound stabilizers.
