title: Chemiluminescence determination of promazine in human serum and drug formulations using Ru(phen)3(2+)-Ce(IV) system and a chemometrical optimization approach.
abstract: A new chemiluminescence (CL) method using flow injection has been described for the rapid and sensitive determination of promazine hydrochloride (PMH). The method is based on the CL reaction of PMH with tris(1,10 phenanthroline)ruthenium(II), [Ru(phen)3(2+)] and Ce(IV) in sulfuric acid medium. Effects of chemical variables were investigated employing central composite design and response surface methodology. Under the optimum conditions, the CL intensity was proportional to the concentration of the drug in solution over the ranges 0.020-0.32 and 0.32-32 microg/mL. The limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) was 0.012 microg/mL. The method was applied successfully to the determination of PMH in drug formulations and human serum (recovery percentages between 96.7 and 105.0%). The relative standard deviation for 11 replicate determinations of 1.5 microg/mL of PMH was 1.7%. The minimum sampling rate was 100 samples per hour.
