Chemically modified carbon paste electrode for the potentiometric flow injection analysis of piribedil in pharmaceutical preparation and urine.
A new carbon paste electrode selective for piribedil (PD) was prepared and fully characterized in terms of composition, usable pH range, response time and thermal stability. The electrode active recognition is by liquid ion-exchange mechanism via the use of piribedil phosphomolybdate as ion-exchanger dissolved in tricresyl phosphate as a more suitable solvent mediator for the paste. The modified electrode showed a Nernstian slope of 58.4+/-0.6 mV over the concentration range of 7.5 x 10(-7) to 1 x 10(-3)M with an average recovery of 98.3-101.0% and R.S.D. of 0.45-1.31%. The electrode exhibits good selectivity for PD with respect to a large number of inorganic cations, organic cations, sugars and amino acids. The developed electrode was successfully used for the potentiometric determination of PD in its aqueous solutions, pharmaceutical preparation, and urine in batch and flow injection analysis (FIA).
