Cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry of drotaverine hydrochloride and its determination in tablets and human urine by differential pulse voltammetry.
The stripping voltammetric behaviour of drotaverine hydrochloride (DvCl) was studied using a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The adsorptive stripping response has been evaluated with respect to pH, accumulation time, accumulation potential, scan rate and other variables. Differential pulse DP mode; over the potential range -400 to -1200 mV, is used in the presence of 0.04 M Britton-Robinson buffer pH 2. Cyclic voltammetric study indicates that the reduction process is irreversible and controlled by adsorption. The response of DP technique is linear over the concentration range 21.70-257.34 ng/ml. Limit of detection and limit of quantification were 3.15 and 10.50 ng/ml, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of the drug in commercial tablets and spiked human urine samples.
