The rapid quantitative analysis of phenprobamate and acetaminophen by RP-LC and compensation technique.
For the analysis of phenprobamate and acetaminophen in combination, the main analytical methods used were spectrophotometric compensation technique and Vierordt's method with high performance liquid chromatography, used as an analytical reference method. The first procedure for the simultaneous quantitative determination phenprobamate and acetaminophen by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was proposed. The method was standardized using a LiChrosorb RP18-5 column, methanol-water-formic acid (120:80:1 v/v), apparent pH 4.25 with triethylamine, as mobil phase and UV detection at 254 nm. The peak area response versus concentration was linear in a concentration range from 4 to 28 microg ml(-1) of phenprobamate and from 4 to 30 microg ml(-1) for acetaminophen. The correlation coefficients were 0.9999 for phenprobamate and 0.9987 for acetaminophen. The second procedure, based on the compensation technique, is presented for the derivative spectrophotometric determination of binary mixtures with overlapping spectra. The proposed methods, which give thoroughly comparable data, are simple and rapid and allow precise and accurate results.
