title: Ion-pair complex-based solvent extraction combined with chemiluminescence determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride with luminol in reverse micelles.
abstract: A new chemiluminescence (CL) method is proposed for the determination of chlorpromazine hydrochloride, which is based on the dichloromethane solvent extraction of ion-pair complex of tetrachloroaurate(III) with chlorpromazine hydrochloride and luminol chemiluminescence detection in a reversed micellar medium formed by the cation surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in a dichloromethane-cyclohexane (1:1 V/V)-water (0.3 mol/L Na2CO3 buffer solution with the pH of 11.5). The ion-pair complex of tetrachloroaurate(III) with chlorpromazine hydrochloride produced an analytical chemiluminescence signal when it entered the reversed micellar water pool. In the optimum conditions, CL intensities are proportional to concentrations of the studied drug over the range 0.05 approximately 10 microg/mL with a detection limit (DL) of 6 ng/mL. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) is 2.6% for 1.25 microg/mL chlorpromazine hydrochloride (n = 11). R.S.D. (precision) of inter-day and intra-day is less than 6%, and accuracy of inter-day and intra-day is satisfactory. The method has been applied to the determination of studied drug in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids with satisfactory results.
