Analysis Note

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

Application

Nitisinone may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in phamraceutical formulations using high-performance liquid chromatography 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

Nitisinone is a competitive inhibitor that reversibly inhibits 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxidase (dioxygenase). Nitisinone is used in the treatment of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1, where it blocks the degradation of tyrosine into harmful substances.

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. Nitisinone is a medication, effectively used for the treatment and maintainence of alkaptonuria, an autosomal recessive disease. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of second enzyme in the tyrosine pathway, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase that produces HGA from 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate.
