Abstract:

A flow injection method is proposed for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The method involves the use of on-line solid-phase extraction by means of a microcolumn containing Dowex 50W X8 ion-exchange resin for the separation of the analyte prior to colour development and spectrophotometric detection in the visible region. The influence of preconcentration flow, preconcentration pH and elution volume was studied. The method exhibits appropriate linearity (r(2) = 0.9999) which was proved statistically by means of the "F"-test. When applied to commercial samples containing several active ingredients and excipients, a significant reduction of interferences was found. Accuracy, evaluated by means of the spike recovery method was in the range 99.7-100.8%, with precision (R.S.D., %) better than 1%. In order to achieve the automation the system was controlled from a notebook computer by means of a program written in QuickBASIC language. Under these conditions, a sampling frequency of 40 samples per hour could be attained.
