Abstract:
Oxybutynin chloride is an antispasmodic, anticholinergic agent indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. Its electrochemical behavior in phosphate buffers of pH range 2-10 at a hanging mercury drop electrode has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (DPCAdSV), and squarewave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWCAdSV). Voltammograms of the drug in phosphate buffer of pH 2-10 exhibited a single two-electron wave and it may be attributed to the reduction of the C[triple bond]C center. Based on the high adsorptive character of oxybutynin chloride onto the mercury electrode, a validated direct squarewave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetric and differential pulse cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetric procedure has been developed for the determination of drug in bulk form and pharmaceutical formulation. The proposed SWCAdS and DPCAdS voltammetric methods allow quantitation over the range 1-18 and 1-17.6 microg mL(-1) with detection limits of 0.1 and 0.23 microg mL(-1), respectively. Precision and accuracy were also checked and were within the limits.
