Determination of benorilate in pharmaceutical formulations and its metabolite in urine at carbon paste electrode modified by silver nanoparticles

Benorilate was determined by the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using a carbon paste electrode modified by silver nanoparticles in 1.25 × 10⁻³ mol l⁻¹ KH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ buffer solution (pH = 6.88, 25 °C) .The anodic peak potential was +0.970 V (versus SCE). A good linear relationship was realized between the anodic peak currents and benorilate concentrations in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹ with the detection limit of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol l⁻¹. The recovery was 95.2-103.6% with the relative standard deviation of 3.6% (n = 9). The pharmaceutical preparations, benorilate tablets samples and its metabolite (salicylic acid) in urine were determined with the desirable results.
