Answer / ravindra
Purity means other than impurity or absence of impurity &
we are calculating by area normalisation.
while Potency is content of that substances in the sample
and calculating it on dried basis ie. LOD, water content ,
residual solvent.

Answer / amit tiwari
Potency = purity-(LOD/Water content+residual solvents+total
impurities+ ROI)
Purity is a measure of the amount of API present in a sample
compared to those of related substances, impurities,
residual solvents, etc. now another term is purity is carried out by HPLC chromatographic purity and is % area of Main Peak where all peak integrated including all
known peaks due to product

Answer / monappa sutar
Drug purity means drug substance without any contaminant
(physical/chemical/biological) as it is indicated by
percent of assay.
Drug potency means efficasy of the drug substance that mens
the percent of specified biological/pharmacological effect
after administration.

Answer / dixit kachhia
Potency = purity-(LOD/Water content+residual solvents+total
impurities+ ROI)
PURITY IS CARRIED OUT BY HPLC CHROMATOGRAAPHIC PURITY AND IS
%AREA OF MAIN PEAK where all peak integrated including all
known and unknown peaks due to product
i am not in favored of potency calculated on basis of assay
rather than purity because assay calculated against another
std and there will be a possibility of no. of errors in
define correct assay.

Anyone have any idea when to conduct Uniformity of Weight (UOW) and when need to conduct Uniformity of Dosage Units (UOD) or when need both? I read BP it only said if average weight < or = 0.04g then just conduct UOD, no need UOW. Under UOD section, it doesnt say when need to conduct UOD but just said UOD got two type, one is Mass Variation (MV), another is Content Uniformity (CU) and under what conditions to conduct them. For USP, no UOW section, only got UOD section.
