“…13 In general, the stress test conditions were based on those suggested by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH). 14 For example, secnidazole 15 samples were incubated under the following hydrolytic conditions: in an acidic medium of 0.1 M HCl at 80 C for 12 h and in an alkaline medium of 0.1 M NaOH at 80 C for 8 h. For oxiconazole, 16 the acidic and basic solutions were refluxed at 100 C for 4 h. All imidazole drugs have been shown to be very labile in alkaline solutions (e.g., complete degradation of tinidazole 17 was observed in 0.1 M NaOH). The time of exposure to light of the drug in the photolytic studies ranged from a few hours (tenatoprazole) 18 to several days (tinidazole), and the studies were performed using drugs in either the solid form or in a solution.…”
