Abstract:
The voltammetric responses of troxerutin were investigated at polyvinylpyrrolidone (cross-linked) (PVP) modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) in 0.1 mol/L KCl by several electrochemical techniques. A well-defined oxidation peak was observed at about 0.97 V. Compared with poor responses of troxerutin at bare electrode that at this modified electrode has been greatly improved. It is PVP that enhances the adsorption of troxerutin to electrode surface based on their hydrophobic property. Under some optimized experimental conditions, a simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the quantitative analysis of troxerutin. A very low detection limit of 5.0 x 10(-9)mol/L was obtained for 5 min accumulation at open circuit (S/N=3). This proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of troxerutin in pharmaceutical dosage forms and satisfying results had been obtained.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
