Analysis Note

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

Application

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.

Digoxin may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations and plasma samples by various chromatography techniques.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A cardiac glycoside, substrate for Pgp, upregulates Pgp expression and down regulates SXR (Steroid Xenobiotic Receptor).

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.Digoxin is one of the digitalis glycosides, extensively utilized for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF). It exhibits positive inotropic effects, antiarrhythmic as well as vasoconstrictor actions. It is reported that digoxin and other cardiac glycosides could play important role in the prevention and/or treatment of proliferative diseases like cancer.
