Chemometric optimization of a SIA promethazine hydrochloride assay method

A sequential injection analysis (SIA) method for the assay of promethazine hydrochloride, based on its oxidation by acidified cerium(IV), was optimized. Three chemometric approaches were applied: (i) factorial design (3³ applied to surface plot and 2³ applied to effect factor) for screening the potential interacting variables, (ii) univariant for optimizing insignificantly interacting variables and (iii) simplex for optimizing potentially interacting variables. The optimum experimental conditions were 30 μl of 0.38 mol/l sulphuric acid, 30 μl of 3.99 × 10^− 3 mol/l cerium(IV), 20 μl of promethazine hydrochloride and 20 μl/s flow rate. The detection limit was 7.032 × 10^− 5 mol/l and the calibration curve was linear up to 1.563 mol/l with a correlation coefficient 0.9998, accuracy range of 89.0-101.5%, relative standard deviation 1.1% (n = 10) and sample frequency at least 20 samples/h. The method was applied to tablet form and validated with the British Pharmacopoeia method. The developed SIA method is fully automated, reproducible, sensitive, rapid and reagent-saving, and therefore suitable for routine control in tablets form.     

Chemiluminescence determination of antibacterial drug trimethoprim by automated sequential injection technique with permanganate and hexametaphosphate as reagents

Antibacterial drug trimethoprim [2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-pyrimidine] (I) was determined in pharmaceutical formulations by using a lab-made PC-controlled SIA analyser linked to conventional HPLC fluorimetric detector equipped with a chemiluminescence module. The chemical principle is the oxidation of I by KMnO(4) in acid medium; the reaction is accompanied by the emission of chemiluminescence, which is enhanced in the presence of hexametaphosphate (HMP). The optimum sequence and the flow parameters and concentrations and volumes of reagents aspirated optimised by a computer-aided simplex method were, 100 mul of 5 mM HMP, 40 mul of a test solution of I, 2 mul of 0.5 M H(2)SO(4) and 20 mul of 1 mM KMnO(4); the luminescing zone was pushed into the detector at a flow rate of 49 mul s(-1). The calibration graph relating the intensity of luminescence to concentration of I was parabolic (r=0.9994) in the range 0.5-100 mug ml(-1) of I with rectilinear part (r=0.9999) in the range 20-100 mug ml(-1) of I; the limit of detection was 0.1 mug ml(-1) of I. The method was used for the assay of Triprim(R) tablets (with nominal content 100 or 200 mg of I) for the active substance as well as for content uniformity tests; the R.S.D. values did not exceed 1% (n=5). The SIA results did not show statistical difference from those obtained by pharmacopoeial acidimetric titration in non-aqueous medium; the excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, maze starch, povidone, talc, magnesium stearate and gelatin did not interfere.

Determination of Citrus aurantium protoalkaloids using HPLC with acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence detection

Acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence was explored as a sensitive and selective mode of detection for phenolic phenethylamines (adrenergic amines) in consumer products containing Citrus aurantium extracts. Nine commercially available weight-loss products were analysed using rapid reversed-phase chromatography with a monolithic column (separation time of 4 min). The results were in good agreement with package labelling, with some notable exceptions. The products contained a wide concentration range of synephrine and total adrenergic amines, and the difference in consumer intake was even greater when the manufacturers’ recommended daily consumption was considered. The quantity of the extract, often specified on the packaging as equivalent grams of dry C. aurantium fruit, was a poor indicator of the concentration of the active ingredients. Methionine, a thioether amino acid contained in some weight-loss products, was identified as a potential interferent for this mode of detection.

Chemiluminescence method for the assay of perphenazine in drug formulation using permanganate in sulphuric acid with flow injection technique and a chemometrical optimization approach

An accurate selective flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the assay of perphenazine was explored. In the method 394 ppm permanganate solution was used as a chemiluminogenic reagent in 0.289 mol dm⁻³ sulphuric acid media. A photomultiplier tube was used as a detector at a total flow rate of 4.94 ml/min. Perphenazine was determined by a linear calibration plot of the following equation in the range 50–350 ppm: mV=−4.488+0.1162C, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9989 for five measurements and a relative standard deviation less than 2.33. A sampling frequency not less than 110 samples h⁻¹ was established. Three factors namely, the flow rate, sulphuric acid and permanganate concentrations were found to have an influence on the amount of chemiluminescence intensity produced. Therefore, their interaction effects were thoroughly investigated by employing the 2³ factorial design chemometrical approach and the results obtained revealed a higher interaction between sulphuric acid and permanganate and a less significant interaction for both reagents with the flow rate. The interaction of variables observed necessitated the conduct of the super modified simplex optimization procedure which has resulted in offering the proper optimum conditions as stated above and led to the quantitative assay of perphenazine. An interference study indicated that the method was suitable for application in pharmaceutical preparations.

A new separation method based on a novel reversed-phase sequential injection chromatography (SIC) technique was used for simultaneous determination of ambroxol hydrochloride and doxycycline in pharmaceutical preparations in this contribution.The coupling of short monolith with SIA system results in an implementation of separation step to until no-separation low-pressure method.A Chromolith^® Flash RP-18e, 25-4.6 mm column (Merck, Germany) and a FIAlab^® 3000 system (USA) with a six-port selection valve and 5 ml syringe were used for sequential injection chromatographic separations in our study. The mobile phase used was acetonitrile-water (20:90, v/v), pH 2.5 adjusted with 98% phosphoric acid, flow rate 0.48 ml min⁻¹, UV detection was at 213 nm.The validation parameters have shown good results: linearity of determination for both compounds including internal standard (ethylparaben) >0.999; repeatability of determination (R.S.D.) in the range 0.5-5.4% at three different concentration levels, detection limits in the range 0.5-2.0 μg ml⁻¹, and recovery from the pharmaceutical preparation in the range 99.3-99.9%. The chromatographic resolution between peak compounds was >5.0 and analysis time was <9 min under the optimal conditions. The method was found to be applicable for routine analysis of the active compounds ambroxol hydrochloride and doxycycline in various pharmaceutical preparations.     

Chemiluminescence determination of sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate by flow injection analysis using cerium(IV) sensitized by quinine

A flow injection method with chemiluminescence (CL) detection is proposed for the determination of sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (MESNA), a drug often used to reduce the urotoxic effects of antineoplastic alkylating agents. The procedure is based on the reaction of the thiol with Ce(IV) in a sulfuric acid medium and measurement of the CL intensity produced by quinine used as a sensitizer. The optimum conditions for CL emission were investigated. Using the CL peak height as the analytical parameter, MESNA was determined over the concentration range 0.29–2.21 ng (1.97–9.85 μg·l⁻¹) with a detection limit of 0.21 ng (1.38 μg·l⁻¹) and a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 4.1%. The method was applied satisfactorily to the determination of MESNA in pharmaceutical preparations with percentages of recovery between 94 and 105.     

Non-equilibrium determination of metoclopramide and tetracaine hydrochloride by sequential injection spectrophotometry

A new sequential injection spectrophotometric method was proposed for the determination of metoclopramide and tetracaine hydrochloride. The method was based on the detection of an unstable red intermediate compound resulting from the reaction of metoclopramide or tetracaine hydrochloride with potassium dichromate, in the presence of sodium oxalate, in sulfuric acid solution. The related reaction mechanisms of this new method have been studied. The experimental conditions were optimized for the stopped-flow and continuous-flow sequential injection models. For continuous flow, the linear range for determination of metoclopramide, the detection limit and the sampling frequency were 13-130 μg ml⁻¹, 9.4 μg ml⁻¹ and 40 samples per hour, respectively. For stopped flow, they were 3-42 μg ml⁻¹, 1.0 μg ml⁻¹ and 18 h⁻¹, respectively. Adopting the continuous-flow model for tetracaine hydrochloride, the linear range was 25-300 μg ml⁻¹, and the detection limit was 18.0 μg ml⁻¹ with sampling frequency of 40 h⁻¹. This method has been used to determine metoclopramide and tetracaine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations, and the results are compared with those determined by the pharmacopoeia method. Statistical analysis reveals that there was no evidence of significant difference between the methods.

Chemiluminescence system for automatic determination of chemical oxygen demand using flow injection analysis

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system for automatic determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) combined with flow injection analysis is proposed in this paper. In this system, potassium permanganate is reduced to Mn²⁺ which is first adsorbed on a strongly acid cation-exchange resin mini-column to be concentrated during chemical oxidation of the organic compounds at room temperature, while the excessive MnO₄⁻ passes through the mini-column to be waste, then the concentrated Mn²⁺ is eluted reversely and measured by the luminol-H₂O₂ CL system. The calibration graph is linear in the range of 4-4000 mg l⁻¹ and the detection limit is 2 mg l⁻¹. A complete analysis could be performed in 1.5 min including washing and sampling, giving a throughout of about 40 h⁻¹. The relative standard deviation was 4.4% for 10 mg l⁻¹ COD (n=11), 4.8% for 100 mg l⁻¹ COD (n=11). This CL flow system for determination of COD is very simple, rapid and suitable for automatic and continuous analysis. The presented system has been applied successfully to the determination of COD of water samples.
