title: Determination of isosorbide-5-mononitrate in tablets by differential pulse polarography.
abstract: A differential pulse polarographic method requiring little sample separation was developed for the determination of isosorbide-5-mononitrate in tablet dosage form with the standard addition technique and without interference from common excipients. Britton-Welford buffer (pH 3.0) was used as the supporting electrolyte, the single peak occurring at -0.36 V vs. a reference Ag/AgCl electrode. The irreversible, diffusion controlled, two-electron reduction process at the dropping mercury electrode permits a precise and accurate determination of the active ingredient in the 0.4-20 microgram/ml concentration range.
