Inhibition of the system luminol-H2O2-Fe(CN)63− chemiluminescence by the Mn(II) indirect determination of isoniazid in a pharmaceutical formulation
A flow injection procedure for the indirect chemiluminescent determination of isoniazid is proposed. The method is performed in a flow-injection manifold provided with a solid-phase reactor. The reactor was made from manganese dioxide physically entrapped by polymerization; the redox reaction isoniazid-manganese dioxide released Mn(II) which was monitored through its inhibitory effect on the reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide in presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate (III). The procedure resulted in a linear calibration graph over the range 5-15 mg/L of isoniazid with a sample throughput of 43 samples/h. The influence of foreign compounds was studied and the method was applied t…
Indirect determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations by inhibition of the system luminol–H2O2–Fe(CN)63− chemiluminescence
After a large drug scanning, the system Luminol-H2O2-Fe(CN)6(3-) is proposed for first time for the indirect determination of paracetamol. The method is based on the oxidation of paracetamol by hexacyanoferrate (III) and the subsequent inhibitory effect on the reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide. The procedure resulted in a linear calibration graph over the range 2.5-12.5 microg ml(-1) of paracetamol with a sample throughput of 87 samples h(-1). The influence of foreign compounds was studied and, the method was applied to determination of the drug in three different pharmaceutical formulations.
