Ribavirin

Analysis Note
These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP and EP primary standards, where they are available.
Application
Ribavirin may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in drug dosage forms by high-pressure liquid chromatographic method.[1] These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antiviral agent used against a wide variety of human viral infections, in particular, chronic hepatitis C, HIV, and adenovirus. Its metabolite, ribavirin 5′-phosphate, is an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase, but many other mechanisms of action are also supported with experimental evidence.

General description
Analog of the imidazole nucleotide intermediates in purine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to pharmacopeia primary standards
Ribavirin is a synthetic guanosine analog, effective against respiratory syncytial virus, several hemorrhagic fever viruses and human immuno deficiency virus.[2]Certified pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to in-house working standards.
