Abstract

The stability of cefsulodin in aqueous solutions of various pH values, buffer concentrations, ionic strengths and intravenous admixtures were studied using a stability-indicating high-pressure liquid chromatography method. The pH range of optimum stability was determined to be 3.2-5.7. Cefsulodin was more stable on the acidic and less on the alkaline side as compared with most of the other cephalosporins such as cefoxitin (pH range of optimum stability approximately 4-7). In 5% dextrose and 0.9% sodium chloride injection, cefsulodin was stable (at least 90% potent) for about 1, 17 and at least 60 days at 24 degrees, 5 degrees and -10 degrees C, respectively.
