title: Voltammetric behaviour of rabeprazole at a glassy carbon electrode and its determination in tablet dosage form.
abstract: The oxidative behaviour of rabeprazole was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solutions using cyclic, linear sweep and differential-pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the pH range (6.0-11.0) and was diffusion-adsorption controlled. An analytical method was developed for the determination of rabeprazole in BR buffer solution at pH 8.0 as supporting electrolyte. The anodic peak current varied linearly with rabeprazole concentration in the range 1.0 x 10(-6) to 2.0 x 10(-5) M of rabeprazole with a limit of detection of 4.0 x 10(-7) M. Validation parameters, such as sensitivity, accuracy, precision and recovery, were evaluated. The proposed method was applied to the determination of rabeprazole in the tablet dosage form. The results were compared with those obtained by a published high-performance liquid chromatographic method. No difference was found statistically.
