Abstract: | The construction and electrochemical response characteristics of poly (vinyl chloride) and poly (vinyl chloride) carboxylate membrane sensors for the determination of cyclophosphamide and ifosphamide are described. Based on the formation of an ion-pair complex between the drug cation and sodium tetraphenylborate, two poly (vinyl chloride) sensors, namely a cyclophosphamide membrane sensor and ifosphamide membrane sensor were fabricated. They show a linear response for both drugs over the concentration range 10−2–10−4 M with cationic slopes of 56 and 54.6 mV per concentration decade, for sensor 1 and sensor 2, respectively. Based on the interaction between the drug solution and the dissociated COOH groups in the poly (vinyl chloride) carboxylate, sensor 3 was fabricated. It shows a linear response for both drugs over the concentration range 10−3–10−5 M with a cationic slope of 49.7 mV per concentration decade. The direct potentiometric determination of cyclophosphamide and ifosphamide in their pharmaceutical preparations using the proposed sensors gave average recoveries of 101.3±0.6, 100.8±10.7 and 102.0±11.0% for the sensors 1, 2 and 3, respectively, which compares reasonably well with the data obtained using the British Pharmacopoeial method (1993). Sensors 1 and 2 were also used to follow up the stability of the drugs studied in the presence of their degradates. These degradation products have no diverse effect on the responses of sensors 1 and 2. |
