Abstract:
A spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of ternary mixtures with overlapping spectra. The method is based on the use of the second derivative of the ratio spectrum with a zero-crossing technique. The ratio spectrum was obtained by dividing the absorption spectrum of the mixture by that of one of the components. The concentration of the other components are then determined from their respective calibration graphs treated similarly. The method is accurate, non-destructive and do not require resolutions of equations. The method has been applied for the resolution of two ternary mixtures, namely, phenobarbitone, methylphenobarbitone and phenytoin (1), and phenobarbitone, papaverine HCl and piperazine acefyllinate (2). Also, a HPLC method was developed for determination of phenobarbitone, papaverine and HCL and piperazine acefyllinate. The HPLC method depends upon using ODS column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-5 mM aqueous heptane sulfonic acid sodium salt (50:50, v/v) and adjusted to apparent pH 4 using acetic acid. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 220 nm based on peak area. The proposed methods were applied for the determination of the two ternary combinations in synthetic mixtures and in commercial pharmaceutical products. The results obtained were precise and accurate.
