Determination of Sulfanilamide and Sulfisoxazole in Drug Preparations by Quantitative High Performance TLC |
| |
Abstract: | Abstract A densitometric TLC method was developed for quantification of sulfanilamide and sulfisoxazole in creams, supppositories, and tablets. The sulfas were extracted into acidic ethanol, diluted to an appropriate volume, and separated by silica gel HPTLC. The fluorescence quenching of the sulfa zones in samples and standards was compared by in situ scanning. Recoveries of the drugs from authentic samples ranged from 96–105%. Recoveries from products with old expiration dates were low. Identity of the sulfa drugs in products was confirmed by application of fluorescamine and Bratton-Marshall detection reagents. |
