Square wave anodic stripping voltammetric determination of metoclopramide in tablet and urine at carbon paste electrode.
A simple, reliable and selective square wave anodic stripping (SWAS) voltammetric method at carbon paste electrode (CPE) of metoclopramide hydrochloride (MCP) in pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablet) and in biological fluids (spiked and real urine samples) has been developed and evaluated. Different parameters such as medium, supporting electrolyte, pH, accumulation potential, scan rate, accumulation time and ionic strength, were tested to optimize the conditions for the determination of MCP. The adsorbed form is oxidized irreversibly under optimal conditions, viz., 0.4M HCl-sodium acetate buffer (pH approximately 6.2), 0.2M KCl, a linear concentration ranges from 0.067 to 0.336, 0.067 to 0.269 and 0.067 to 0.269 ng/mL of MCP, at accumulation times 60, 120 and 180 s, respectively, can be determined successfully. The interferences of some common excipients and some metal ions were studied. The standard addition method was used to determine the MCP in pure solutions, tablets and in biological fluids with satisfactory results. The data obtained are compared with the standard official method.
