Abstract

As part of the process of obtaining an ingredient

active, they should be eliminated in the greatest possible

as much as possible the solvents used, since their remains

they constitute potentially toxic impurities. By

For this reason, the regulatory bodies of the Industry

Pharmaceutical have defined the contents

maximum allowable for residual solvents

of active ingredients used in production

of drugs, among which n-hexane, used

in obtaining policosanol, it presents a limit

of 290 ppm.1
