ABSTRACT
One titrimetric and two spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) in bulk drug and in formulations using potassium iodate and potassium iodide as reagent. The methods employ the well-known analytical reaction between iodate and iodide in the presence of acid. In titrimetry (method A), the drug was treated with a measured excess of thiosulfate in the presence of unmeasured excess of iodate-iodide mixture and after a standing time of 10 min, the surplus thiosulfate was determined by back titration with iodine towards starch end point. Titrimetric assay is based on a 13 reaction stoichiometry between DEC and iodine and the method is applicable over 2.0-10.0 mg range. The liberated iodine is measured spectrophotometrically at 370 nm (method B) or the iodine-starch complex measured at 570 nm (method C). In both methods, the absorbance is found to be linearly dependent on the concentration of iodine, which in turn is related to DEC concentration. The calibration curves are linear over 2.5-50 and 2.5-30 µg mL-1 DEC for method B and method C, respectively. The calculated molar absorptivity and Sandell sensitivity values were 6.48×103 L mol-1 cm-1 and 0.0604 µg cm-2, respectively, for method B, and their respective values for method C are 9.96×103 L mol-1 cm-1 and 0.0393 µg cm-2. The intra-day and inter-day accuracy and precision studies were carried out according to the ICH guidelines. The methods were successfully applied to the analysis of DEC formulations.
RESUMO
Propõem-se titulação e dois métodos espectrofotométricos para a determinação de citrato de dietilcarbamazina (DEC) a granel e em suas formulações, usando iodato de potássio e iodeto de potássio como reagente. Os métodos utilizam a reação analítica conhecida entre iodato e iodeto, na presença de ácido. Na titulometria (Método A), o fármaco foi tratado com excesso medido de tiossulfato, na presença de excesso não medido de mistura iodato-iodeto e, depois de um tempo de repouso de 10 min, o excesso de tiossulfato foi determinado por titulação de retorno com iodo até o ponto final com amido. A titulação é baseada em reação com estequiometria 13 entre DEC e iodo e o método é aplicável na faixa de 2.0-10.0 mg. O iodo liberado é medido espectrofotometricamente a 370 nm (método B) ou o complexo de iodo-amido medido a 570 nm (método C). Em ambos os métodos, a absorvância é considerada linearmente dependente da concentração de iodo, a qual, por sua vez, está relacionada à concentração de DEC. As curvas de calibração são lineares para concentrações de DEC de 2.5-50 e 2.5-30 mg mL- 1 para o método B e para o método C, respectivamente. A absortividade molar calculada e os valores de sensibilidade Sandel foram 6.48×103 L mol-1 cm- 1 e 0.0604 ug cm-2, respectivamente, para o método B, e os seus respectivos valores para o método C são 9.96×103 L mol-1 cm-1 e 0.0393 mg cm-2. Os estudos de exatidão e precisão intra-dia e inter-dia foram realizados de acordo com as diretrizes da ICH. Os métodos foram aplicados com sucesso na análise de formulações de DEC.
