The electrochemical reduction of tinidazole has been carried out in aqueous solution in the pH range 1.8-11.3 by differential-pulse (DP) polarography. Tinidazole exhibits one or two reduction peaks depending on pH. In strongly acidic solution (pH < 4.5), one reduction peak was obtained and it was suitable for analytical purposes. A method for the determination of tinidazole by DP polarography in Britton-Robinson buffer of pH 3.0, which allows quantification over the range 0.03-7.30 microg/ml, was proposed. The method was successfully applied to the determination of tinidazole in tablets with mean recovery and relative standard deviation of 98.7 and 3%, respectively. Excipients did not interfere in the determination.
A simple, accurate and rapid method for the quantitative determination of five ranitidine drugs in pharmaceutical formulations (Tablets and Ampoules) is proposed. The supporting electrolyte was acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 5.2). An excellent linear relationship was obtained between the concentration and current with correlation coefficient 0.9996. Good agreement was obtained between the results with the d.c. polarograhic method and those by the manufacturer's method of assay.
