Abstract:
Electrochemical behaviour of pyrantel pamoate has been studied by using different voltammetric and polarographic techniques in Britton Robinson buffer system. Differential pulse polarographic and cyclic voltammetric methods have been developed for the determination of drug in pharmaceutical formulation. A well-defined cathodic wave and one anodic peak were observed for the pyrantel pamoate in the entire pH range. Number of electrons transferred in the reduction process was calculated and the reduction mechanism postulated. The results indicate that the electrode process is reversible and diffusion controlled. The proposed method has been validated. The peak current is found to be linear over the concentration range 4x10(-4) to 2x10(-2)molL(-1). The lower detection limit (LOD) and lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) is found to be 2.45x10(-5) and 8x10(-5)molL(-1).

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
