Background: Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) eye drops are a frequently used medication to treat Acanthamoeba keratitis.
In the absence of marketed PHMB eye drops, pharmacy-compounding units are needed to prepare this much needed treatment, but the lack of validated PHMB stability data severely limits their conservation by imposing short expiration dates after preparation.
In this study we aim to assess the physicochemical and microbiological stability of a 0.2 mg/mL PHMB eye drop formulation stored in two kinds of polyethylene bottles at two different temperatures.
Methods: A liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector stabilityindicating method was validated to quantify PHMB, using a cyanopropyl bonded phase (Agilent Zorbax Eclipse XDB-CN column 4.6 75 mm with particle size of 3.5 mm) and isocratic elution consisting of acetonitrile/deionized water (3/97 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/min.
PHMB eye drops stability was assessed for 90 days of storage at 5 and 25 C in ethylene oxide sterilized low density polyethylene (EOS-LDPE) and gamma sterilized low density polyethylene (GS-LDPE) bottles.
The following analyses were performed: visual inspection, PHMB quantification and breakdown products (BPs) screening, osmolality and pH measurements, and sterility assessment.
PHMB quantification and BP screening was also performed on the drops emitted from the multidose eyedroppers to simulate in-use condition.
Results: The analytical method developed meets all the qualitative and quantitative criteria for validation with an acceptable accuracy and good linearity, and is stability indicating.
During 90 days of storage, no significant decrease of PHMB concentration was found compared to initial concentration in all stored PHMB eye drops.
However, BP were found at day 30 and at day 90 of monitoring in both kind of bottles, stored at 5 and 25 C, respectively.
Although no significant variation of osmolality was found and sterility was maintained during 90 days of monitoring, a significant decrease of pH in GS-LDPE PHMB eye drops was noticed reaching 4 and 4.6 at 25 C and 5 C respectively, compared to initial pH of 6.16.

PHMB was firstly synthesized by Rose and Swain (1954).
PHMB 20% is a cationic biguanide polymer which is utilized in a wide variety of antibacterial applications.
Several methods have been devised in order to prepare PHMB.
For instance, one of the current methods is to obtain PHMB by polycondensation of sodium dicyanamide and hexamethylenediamine in two steps.
Preparations of PHMB are polydisperse mixtures of polymeric biguanides, with a weighted average number (n) of 12 repeating hexamethylene biguanide units.
The heterogeneity of the molecule is increased further by the presence of either amine, or cyanoguanidine or guanidine end-groups in any combination at the terminal positions of each chain.
Equal amounts (in molar) of hexamethylenediamine and guanidine hydrochloride to be mixed in a round-bottomed three-necked flask, which is equipped with a mechanical stirrer and vacuum system.
The mixture reacts at 100 °C for 60 min, and then at 170 °C for a certain time.
During the reaction, by-product ammonia is neutralized by bubbling through aqueous HCl.
At the end of reaction, the slightly yellow, viscous liquid solidifies upon cooling giving PHMG samples
