Determination of ethambutol in pharmaceutical preparations by atomic absorption spectrometry,spectrophotometry and potentiometry

Simple methods are described for the determination of ethambutol in pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the reaction of the drug with copper phosphate suspension in a borate buffer of pH 9.2, whereby a blue 11 water-soluble copper-ethambutol complex is quantitatively formed. Four portions of the reaction solution are used for (i) measurement of copper by atomic-absorption spectrometry at 324.7 nm; (ii) potentiometric titration with EDTA with use of a solid-state copper ion-selective electrode; (iii) visual titration with EDTA (copper-PAN indicator); and (iv) spectrophotometric measurement of the copper-ethambutol complex at 640 nm. The results obtained are in good agreement and are better than those of the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) method.     

Determination of amitriptyline,imipramine and orphenadrine in antidepressant drugs by potentiometry,spectrophotometry and atomic absorption spectrometry

Methods are described for the determination of amitriptyline, imipramine and orphenadrine in some antidepressant drugs. They are based on a prior reaction with ammonium reineckate to form 11 water-insoluble drugreineckate ion-pair complexes. These complexes are (i) used as ion-exchangers in liquid-membrane electrodes responsive to the drug cations, (ii) extracted with nitrobenzene or dissolved in acetonitrile and spectrophotometrically measured at 525 nm and (iii) dissolved in 90% acetone followed by nebulization in an air-acetylene flame for atomic absorption spectrometric measurements of Cr at 358.6 nm. The reaction and monitoring conditions are optimized to permit determination of as little as 10 g/ml of the drugs. Determination of the drugs in some pharmaceutical preparations shows an average recovery of 98.8% of the nominal and a mean standard deviation of 0.8%. The results compare favorably with data obtained by the United States and British Pharmacopoeia methods.     

Cloud point extraction of aluminum (III) in water samples and determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry,flame atomic absorption spectrometry and UV-visible spectrophotometry

Cloud point extraction was applied as a preconcentration step for the determination of trace level of Al(III) in water samples with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The aluminum was extracted as aluminum-Eriochrome Cyanine R (ECR) complex, at pH 6 by micelles of the non-ionic surfactant octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (Triton X-114). The investigations showed that the same CPE procedure can be used for different detection techniques. The results obtained from these techniques were evaluated. Under the optimal conditions, limit of detection obtained with ETAAS, FAAS and UV-visible spectrophotometry were 0.03 ng mL^?1, 0.06 µg mL^?1 and 0.01 µg mL^?1, respectively. The accuracy of the procedure was tested by analysing certified reference material. The method was successfully applied to determination of aluminum in water samples and dialysis fluid.     

Plastic membrane electrodes for the potentiometric determination of codeine in pharmaceutical preparations

Four PVC membrane electrode systems responsive to codeinium cation are described. These electrodes are based on the use of the ion-association complexes of the codeinium cation with tetraphenylborate and reineckate counter-anions as ion-exchange sites in a PVC matrix plasticized with dioctylphthalate and dibutylsebacate. The performance characteristics of these electrodes reveal fast, stable and near-Nernstian responses for codeine down to concentrations of 3.5–7.0 × 10^–5 M. Over the pH range 2.5–7, the electrodes are satisfactory for manual and flow injection determination of codeine in various pharmaceutical preparations. There is negligible interference from a number of inorganic and organic cations and some common drug excipients. In the direct determination of 30 g/ml -1.0 mg/ml codeine, the average recovery is 100.6% and the mean standard deviation is ± 0.8%. The results compare favorably with those obtained by the British Pharmacopoeia method.

Linear calibration curves were obtained in the concentration ranges 2–30g/mL pefloxacin for tablets and ampoules and 0.12–5 g/ mL for serum samples. Relative error of determination, as criterion for accuracy, was less than 1%, while the precision was better than 4 ng/ml. The minimum detectable concentration of pefloxacin in serum was 15 ng/mL.

Sensitive and fast-responding potentiometric sensors are described for the determination of warfarin and ibuprofen. They consist of PVC matrix membranes containing the drag-ferroin ion-association complexes as electroactive materials and dioctylphthalate as a solvent mediator.

Differential titration curves with well-defined peaks at the equivalence points are obtained using drug-ferroin/ferroin-TPB PVC membrane sensors.

The determination of osmium in waste water by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with a graphite furnace atomiser has been investigated. The atomisation characteristics of osmium on the atomiser were found to result in optimal ashing and atomisation temperatures of 300–500 and 3180 °C, respectively.The characteristic mass (the mass of element giving 0.0044 abs.) of osmium after optimization was found to be 1.6ng, which is better than obtained with flame AAS and ultraviolet/visible (UV) absorption spectrophotometry. The detection limit (s/n = 3) was 3.6ng (or 0.36 (g ml^–1). The relative std. deviation obtained with graphite furnace AAS was 3.0%.The interference caused by large amounts of common cations and anions in waste water were evaluated and thiourea as matrix modifier was shown to be able to eliminate many interferences.

Determination of trace impurities in titanium dioxide by direct solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A true direct solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry method with Zeeman-effect background correction (Analytik Jena ZEEnit 60 AAS) was developed for the determination of As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sb and Zn in powdered titanium dioxide of pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics grade. The interaction of the titanium matrix and graphite surface of the sample carrier boat in a transversely heated graphite tube atomizer was investigated. Conversion of titanium dioxide to interfering TiO₂–TiC-liquid phase, running out the sampling boat, was observed at temperatures above 2000 °C. The temperature program was optimized accordingly for these volatile analytes in atomization and cleaning steps in order to prevent this interference and to prolong significantly the analytical lifetime of the boat to more than one thousand runs. For all elements, calibration by aqueous standard addition method, by wet-chemically analyzed samples with different content of analytes and/or by dosing one sample in different amounts, were proved as adequate quantification procedures. Linear dynamic calibration working ranges can be considerably expanded up to two orders of magnitude within one measurement run by applying three-field dynamic mode of the Zeeman background correction system. The results obtained by true direct solid sampling technique are compared with those of other independent, mostly wet-chemical methods. Very low limits of detection (3σ criterion) of true solid sampling technique of 21, 0.27, 24, 3.9, 6.3 and 0.9 ng g^− 1 were achieved for As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sb and Zn, respectively.

Determination of Dysprosium(III) Ion in Soil and Sediment Samples by an Original Potentiometric Dysprosium(III) Membrane Sensor

Abstract

A PVC membrane electrode for dysprosium(III) [Dy(III)] ions was constructed, having its basis on benzoxazoleguanidine (BG) as a suitable ionophore. The sensor presents a linear dynamic range of 1.0 × 10^?6–1.0 × 10^?1 M, with a Nernstian slope of 19.5 ± 0.4 mV decade^?1 and a detection limit of 4.7 × 10^?7 M. The response time is quick (less than 10 s). It can be used in the pH range of 3.3–8.4, and its duration is at least 2 mo without any considerable, noticeable potential divergence. The recommended sensor revealed comparatively good selectivity with respect to most alkali, alkaline earth, some transition, and heavy metal ions. It was successfully employed as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Dy(III) ions with EDTA. The membrane sensor also applied to the determination of concentration of Dy(III) ions in soil and sediment samples. Validation with certified reference materials (CRMs) was also carried out.
