— WHY IS THIS NEEDED?
Amoxicillin — semi-synthetic broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic:
• High Molecular Weight Impurities (Polymers): Formed during synthesis or storage. Act as haptens, bind to body proteins and cause severe allergic reactions up to anaphylaxis. Limit is extremely strict.
• Specific Rotation: Key identity parameter. Deviation indicates presence of enantiomers or impurities.
• Specific Impurities: Diketopiperazines, penicilloic acids — degradation products of beta-lactam ring.
• Crystallinity: Affects solubility and bioavailability. Correct crystal form (trihydrate) required.
• Moisture: Amoxicillin is hygroscopic, moisture accelerates degradation.
⚠️ CRITICAL:
• Assay: 95–102% (anhydrous basis)
• Specific Rotation: +290° to +315°
• Polymers: ≤ 0.05% (STRICT! allergy risk)
• Total Impurities: ≤ 1.0%
• Loss on Drying: ≤ 1.0% (for trihydrate)
• Residual Solvents (Ethanol, Acetone): per ICH Q3C
• Microbiology: absence of pathogens, limits for TAMC/TYMC
⚠️ Note: Utility places special emphasis on penicillin safety. Exceeding polymer limit is an absolute contraindication for batch release, regardless of other parameters. Specific rotation check ensures optical purity. Crystallinity check important for stability of suspensions and tablets.

URS & FS — user requirements and functional specification

This document defines user requirements and functional specification for the quality-control utility. It supports deployment discussion, IQ/OQ preparation and QC workflow integration.

Utility: AmoxicillinQualityCheckerAPI / object: AmoxicillinCategory: Global API

1. Scope

The Amoxicillin Quality Checker utility is used for Amoxicillin. The actual input.csv is the source of truth for the input structure; control criteria are defined by the executable and the domain description.

The utility does not use machine learning; decisions are produced by deterministic rules.

Categories: Global API

Tags: antibiotics, API, assay, biosimilars, fixed-dose combinations, generics, impurities, market map, microbiology, residual solvents, solid dosage

2. Execution modes

AmoxicillinQualityChecker.exe                            → demo mode
AmoxicillinQualityChecker.exe input.csv output.json      → evaluate data

3. Key controlled areas

  • assay / content
  • purity and impurities
  • residual solvents
  • microbiology and pathogens
  • heavy metals / elemental impurities
  • pH and physicochemical parameters

4. Domain limits and critical parameters

  • ⚠️ CRITICAL! Polymers ≤0.05%. Specific rotation +290..+315. Low moisture!
  • ⚠️ CRITICAL:
  • Assay: 95–102% (anhydrous basis)
  • Specific Rotation: +290° to +315°
  • Polymers: ≤ 0.05% (STRICT! allergy risk)
  • Total Impurities: ≤ 1.0%
  • Loss on Drying: ≤ 1.0% (for trihydrate)
  • Residual Solvents (Ethanol, Acetone): per ICH Q3C
  • Microbiology: absence of pathogens, limits for TAMC/TYMC

Limits stated in the description must be verified against the current approved specification, pharmacopoeial monograph and registration dossier before production use.

5. URS — user requirements

IDRequirementCriticalityAcceptance criterion
URS-001The system shall accept an input.csv file for Amoxicillin with the exact columns listed in the “Input data contract” section.HighA file with the correct header is processed without manual editing; missing mandatory columns produce FAIL/import error.
URS-002The system shall support execution without arguments in demo mode and execution with input.csv output.json for user data.MediumBoth execution scenarios produce a predictable result or clear diagnostic error.
URS-003The system shall perform rule-based controls for: assay / content, purity and impurities, residual solvents, microbiology and pathogens, heavy metals / elemental impurities, pH and physicochemical parameters.HighEach controlled parameter receives a status and message; the result does not depend on hidden Excel formulas or ML.

10. QA/QC, CSV and change control

  • Before production use, the client records executable version, checksum, specification/monograph version, test CSV, expected JSON and IQ/OQ results.
  • Column names must not be changed without updating the validator and test scenarios.
  • The source CSV, output.json and utility version should be stored together as an evidence package.
  • Any change in control rules must go through change control and repeated OQ scenario verification.
