Losartan Potassium, pharmaceutical secondary standard; traceable to USP, PhEur, BP

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.

Application

Losartan Potassium may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques and spectrophotometric technique.

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

Losartan potassium is an orally available, potent, and selective competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist. Losartan potassium is used for treatment of hypertension.

General description

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.Losartan Potassium is a novel class of orally active, non-peptide angiotensin II (type AT₁) receptor antagonist drug that can be used in the remedy of hypertension. It exhibits superior activity than many other peptide receptor antagonist drugs and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors owing to the high specificity, selectivity, and tolerability.
