Abstract:
A spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of 8-hydroxyquinoline and three of its iodinated derivatives: 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (clioquinol), 5,7-di-iodo-8-hydroxy-quinoline (iodoquinol) and 8-hydroxy-7-iodo-quinolone-5-sulphonic acid (chinoform). The suggested method depends on the reaction with 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of an alkaline oxidizing agent. A red antipyrine dye with an absorption peak at 500 nm is produced in all cases. The reacting ratio has been determined and a reaction mechanism is presented. The proposed method can be applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds studied, and the results obtained compare favourably with those obtained with the standard methods.
