Abstract: | A simple, sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method has been described for the assay of diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) in raw material and in biological samples. The method is based on extraction of DPH into dichloromethane as ion-pair complexes with patent blue (PB), eriochrome black T (EBT), methyl orange (MO) and bromocresol purple (BCP) in acidic medium. The coloured species exhibited absorption maxima at 632, 514, 428 and 414 nm for PB, EBT, MO and BCP, with molar absorptivity values of 1.32 × 105, 2.36 × 104, 3.68 × 104 and 3.07 × 104 l mol?1 cm?1, respectively. The reaction conditions were optimized to obtain the maximum colour intensity. Beer’s law was obeyed with a good correlation coefficient (0.9982–0.9993) in the concentration ranges 0.5–3, 2.0–16, 2.0–10 and 1.0–10 μg ml?1 for PB, EBT, MO and BCP methods, respectively. The composition ratio of the ion-association complexes was found to be 1:1 in all cases as established by Job’s method. The conditional stability constant (Kf) and the free energy changes (ΔG°) were determined for all complexes formed. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of DPH in tablets and human urine with good accuracy and precision. Statistical comparison of the results with those obtained by the official method showed good agreement and indicated no significant difference in accuracy and precision. |
