Abstract:
It was found that meloxicam could enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) of the tris(2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II)-Ce(IV) system in the medium of sulfate acid. Based on this phenomenon a new flow-injection system with chemiluminescent detection has been proposed for determination of meloxicam. Under optimum conditions, meloxicam had a good linear relationship with the CL intensity in the concentration range of 6.0 10(-4) to 1.0 microg/mL and the detection limit was 3.7 x 10(-4 )microg/mL. The proposed method was applied to detect meloxicam in tablets and a satisfactory recovery was obtained. The possible mechanism for this CL system is also discussed in this paper.
