Analysis Note

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

Application

Voriconazole may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in pharmaceutical 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

Voriconazole is an antifungal used to treat serious fungal infections. Voriconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting CYP450-dependent 14-α sterol demethylase resulting in a depletion of ergosterol in fungal cell membranes.

General description

Voriconazole is a synthetically prepared, broad-spectrum triazole derivative of fluconazole, which shows in vitro activity against many yeasts and a broad-spectrum of mold and dermatophyte isolates. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent enzyme, 14-α-sterol demethylase, and hence it is involved in disrupting the cell membrane and terminate the fungal growth.

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
