— WHY IS THIS NEEDED?
Isosorbide Dinitrate — nitrate for angina and heart failure treatment:
• Hydrolysis: Dinitrate group is sensitive to hydrolysis forming mononitrate (isosorbide-2-nitrate) and isosorbide. Isosorbide-2-nitrate is the main impurity, limited (≤1.0%).
• Explosiveness: As a nitrate, the drug has potential explosiveness, requiring special production and storage conditions. Impurity control is also important for stability assessment.
• Synthesis often involves methanol and acetone. Limits for residual solvents are strict.
• Drug taken long-term, so heavy metal and residual solvent requirements are stricter than usual.
• Dissolution profile is important for ensuring stable bioavailability (especially for sublingual forms).
⚠️ CRITICAL:
• Assay: 97–103%
• Melting Point: 68–72°C (with decomposition)
• Isosorbide-2-Nitrate: ≤ 1.0%
• Isosorbide: ≤ 0.5%
• Total Impurities: ≤ 1.5%
• Methanol: ≤ 3000 ppm
• Acetone: ≤ 2000 ppm
• Heavy Metals: ≤ 10 ppm
• Dissolution: ≥ 80% in 30 min, ≥ 85% in 60 min
• Microbiology: standard limits
⚠️ Note: Utility adapted for dissolution profile check. If dissolution data absent (0), check skipped (for substance). For finished forms, deviation from dissolution profile is critical defect. Isosorbide-2-nitrate control is a safety priority due to risk of reduced therapeutic efficacy during long-term use.

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.
