RESUMO
Direct bromometric titration of carbimazole using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of methyl red as indicator and three indirect titrations using NBS, potassium bromate and dibromohydantoin (DBH) are developed. The direct procedure can be adopted for quantities of carbimazole ranging from 2-12 mg with mean accuracies of 100.2 +/- 0.5. The indirect procedures can be used for quantities of the drug ranging from 1-6 mg using NBS and DBH and 2-16 mg using potassium bromate with mean accuracies of 100.11 +/- 0.3, 100.49 +/- 0.31 and 100.26 +/- 0.51 respectively. The proposed procedures have been successfully applied for the analysis of the drug in tablet form and their validity has been checked using the standard addition technique. The reaction products were separated by TLC methods and their structure was elucidated using IR and NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry and the possible pathways of the reaction were postulated and presented.
RESUMO
A sensitive spectrophotometric procedure is described for the determination of 1,4-benzodiazepine (clorazepate dipotassium) in the presence of its degradation products. The procedure is based on acid hydrolysis of clorazepate dipotassium to yield its final degradation products viz., 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone and glycine. The amino-chlorobenzophrenone is extracted from the neutralized hydrolysate with diethyl ether, the extract is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in methanol and its absorbance measured at about 240 nm or 380 nm. Glycine, left in the aqueous layer after etherial extraction of aminochlorobenzophenone, is treated with ninhydrin reagent in the presence of pyridine and the bluish violet colour formed is measured at about 560 nm. The suggested procedures determine 20-100 mg of clorazepate dipotassium via its degradation products aminochlorobenzophenone and glycine with mean accuracies of 100.0 +/- 0.5% at 560 nm, 100.2 +/- 0.6% at 380 nm and 99.8 +/- 0.5%. The suggested procedures are suitable for stability-testing of clorazepate dipotassium in bulk powder and in pharmaceutical preparations.
RESUMO
A spectrophotometric method for the determination of the intact clorazepate dipotassium in the presence of its degradation products is developed. It depends upon preliminary hydrolysis of clorazepate dipotassium-thus liberating its equivalent of N-desmethyldiazepam which is extracted, with benzene-methylene chloride (9:1). The extract is evaporated, the residue dissolved in methanol and its absorbance measured at about 315 nm. The procedure determines 0.4-1.6 mg of clorazepate dipotassium with an accuracy of 100.2+/-0.7%. The procedure is applied successfully for the determination of clorazepate dipotassium in bulk powder and in capsules; retaining its accuracy in the presence of up to 80% degradation. Determination of the different degradation products is also possible. Thus, N-desmethyl diazepam is determined after preliminary extraction with benzene-methylene chloride mixture, followed by TLC separation, 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone by directly applying the first derivative spectrophotometric technique, and glycine in the aqueous layer determined colorimetrically with ninhydrin reagent in the presence of pyridine.
RESUMO
A proposed titrimetric procedure for determining some acid-stable penicillins is investigated. The procedure has been used for both pure substances and dosage forms and was fairly accurate. A study of the mechanism of the reaction of the suggested stability-indicating method is presented.
