Abstract:
AimTo propose a novel polarographic method for the determination of acetylspiramycin (ASPM) is proposed. MethodsIn 0.1 mol·L
-1 NH
4Cl-NH
3·H
2O (pH 8.9) buffer containing dissolved oxygen, ASPM yielded a sensitive parallel catalytic hydrogen wave with the peak potential of -1.63 V (
vs SCE) by single sweep polarography. ResultsThe 2nd order derivative peak currents (
ip″) of the parallel catalytic hydrogen waves of ASPM showed a linear relationship with its concentrations in the range from 1.74×10
-3 μg·mL
-1 to 3.84 μg·mL
-1 (
r=0.997 9,
n=13). Its detection limit was 5.80×10
-4 μg·mL
-1 (3σ) and RSD (
n=13) was 1.24% at the concentration level of 0.871 μg·mL
-1. ConclusionThe proposed method could be applied to the determination of ASPM in ASPM tablets.
