Phosphorus-doped and undoped glassy carbon indicator electrodes in controlled-current potentiometric titrations of bromide- or chloride-containing active ingredients in some pharmaceutical preparations.
Phosphorus-doped glassy carbon (as a novel material) and glassy carbon (Sigri commercial sample) were applied as potentiometric indicator electrodes in the titrimetric determination of active components with bromide or chloride in their molecules in different pharmaceutical preparations (Buscopan, Prostigmine, Isoptin, Bedoxin, Akineton and Trodon). After the necessary pre-treatment of the electrode surfaces and sample dissolution, the halide was titrated with a standard solution of silver nitrate (indirect determination). Amounts of 10-20 micromol of the investigated active ingredients per titration were determined with a relative standard deviation that, depending on the nature of indicator electrode, determined molecules and filler components, was in the range of 0.3-2.7%. The results obtained were compared with those of the official methods and with those obtained by potentiometric titrations using silver electrode. The titrimetric procedures developed are relatively fast, easy, economical and can be used to analyse of a large number of pharmaceutical products.
