Determination of Some Phenothiazines Compounds in Pharmaceuticals and Human Body Fluid by Electrocatalytic Oxidation at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Using Methylene Blue as a Mediator

Abstract

A glassy carbon electrode plus Methylene blue as a mediator was employed to study and sense the electrocatalytic oxidation of phenothiazines, including chlorpromazine, perphenazine, promazine, and fluphenazine, using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry as diagnostic techniques. The electron-transfer coefficient, alpha (= 0.45), for phenothiazines compounds at the surface of glassy carbon electrode was determined using a cyclic voltammetry technique. It was found that under a selected pH (8.6) the peak current due to the oxidation of Methylene blue at the surface of the electrode that occurrs at a potential of about ? 180 mV is proportional to the phenothiazines concentration. Linear analytical curves were obtained in the ranges of 1.0 × 10^?6 ? 2.1 × 10^?4 mol L^?1 for the phenothiazines compounds. The influences of potentially interfering substances on the current response of the system were examined. The method was used for the determination of phenothiazines compounds, including chlorpromazine, perphenazine, promazine, and fluphenazine in human.     

Electrochemical Oxidation of Phenothiazine Derivatives at Glassy Carbon Electrodes and Their Differential Pulse and Square‐wave Voltammetric Determination in Pharmaceuticals

Abstract

Three 2,10‐disubstituted phenothiazines—chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPM), thioridazine hydrochloride (TR) and propericiazine (PRC)—were electrochemically studied in various buffer systems at different pH values, using a glassy carbon electrode. The substances were electrochemically oxidized at potential range 0.55–0.75 V. The oxidation was reversible and exhibited diffusion‐controlled process. The mechanism of the oxidation process is discussed. According to the linear relation between peak current and concentration, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) methods for quantitative determination of chlorpromazine and propericiazine in 0.1 M HClO₄, and thioridazine in pH 2 phosphate buffer, was applied. Both the repeatability and reproducibility of the methods were also determined for all studied substances. The developed procedures were successfully applied to the determination of chlorpromazine and thioridazine in pharmaceutical dosage forms.     

Indirect Potentiometric Determination of Chlorpromazine with an Oxidative Column In a Flow Injection System

Abstract

A flow-injection method is proposed for the determination of chlorpromazine and other N-substituted phenothiazines. The procedure is based on the oxidation of analyte with lead dioxide entrapped into polymeric material in a packed-bed reactor.

The calibration graph is linear over the range of 0.01 – 2 μg ml^?1 of chlorpromazine with relative standard deviation of 1.4% and sample throughput 20 h^?1. The developed method was applied to the determination of chlorpromazine in pharmaceutical preparations.

Individual and joint kinetic fluorometric determination of imidazole and 4-methylimidazole

The oxidation of 1,1,3-tricyano-2-amino-1-propene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and copper is favored by imidazole, 4-methylimidazole, or any other compound possessing the imidazole ring. This fluorescent reaction has been used for the individual determination of imidazole and 4-methylimidazole at 10⁻⁵M level by application of several kinetic methods (tangent, fixed-time, and maximum fluorescence intensity) with a precision (%RSD) of about ±1%.

Mixtures of imidazole and 4-methylimidazole in ratios between 1:1 and 1:9 have been resolved with a %RSD of ±7.1% for imidazole and ±3.1% for 4-methylimidazole.

The Use of Internal Standard Method for Dertvative-Spectrophotometric Determination of Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride

ABSTRACT

The use of 1, 10-phenantroline as internal standard (IS) is proposed for spectrophotometric determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations. The spectra of both compounds: analyte and internal standard are partially overlapped, so the Savitzky-Golay alghoritm was used to obtain separated signals of analyte and IS. The best parameters to generate the second-derivative spectra were: ∠λ = 10 nm (5 experimental points) and second polynomial degree. For quantification of chlorpromazine in pharmaceuticals, the zero-crossing technique was used. The values of the second-derivative peaks were measured for chlorpromazine at 256 nm and at 236 nm for IS. Analytical characteristic for proposed method was evaluated (r²=0.9990, detection limit=3.97 ng/ml). The obtained analytical results were in good agreement with results obtained using the UV-spectrophotometric Blazek method.

Chromatographic and spectroscopic investigations of the oxidation process in methyl oleate and methyl elaidate

In our paper the studies on the initial stage of autoxidation of cis- and trans-9-octadecenoic acid methyl esters were reported. The applied analytical methods were: (1) high-resolution NMR spectroscopy; (2) absorption iR spectroscopy; (3) adsorption TLC. The complementary methods were: determination of peroxide number, acid number and iodine number in the course of autoxidation. Our results pointed to the fact that the oxidation of trans-isomer showed the more restrained character. We tried to suggest the influence of structure of the examined compounds and of the peroxides formed in the initial stage of autoxidation on the course of this process.

Abstract

Two simple colorimetric methods for the determination of certain cephalosporins (cefaclor and cefadroxil) and amoxycillin sodium are described.

The proposed methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of some pharmaceutical formulations and the results obtained have been statistically compared with those obtaind using the official methods. The proposed methods are convenient, rapid within the concentration range 15-123 μg. ml^?1.

Performance of the Continuous Addition of Reagent Technique in Fluorimetric Reaction-Rate Methods. Determination of Thiamine at the Nanomolar Level

Abstract

The potential of the continuous addition of reagent (CAR) technique, developed for reactions on the millisecond time scale, in fluorimetric reaction-rate methods, is evaluated. The approach was applied to the classical fast reaction involving the oxidation of thiamine to fluorescent thiochrome effected by potassium ferricyanide in basic solutions. Practical problems associated with this system were readily avoided by using the CAR technique. Several kinetic methods have been developed for the determination of thiamine; all are very sentitive (detection limit, 2. 5x10^?9 M) compared to other fluorimetric equilibrium and reaction-rate methods and are suitable for routine analyses (sample throughput, 100 h^?1).
