Determination of penicillin V potassium in pharmaceuticals and spiked human urine by chemiluminescence

摘要

A simple and selective method for penicillin V potassium (PVK) determination by chemiluminescence (CL) was developed. Oxidation of PVK by alkaline hydrogen peroxide produces CL, which is greatly enhanced by N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and N-cetyl- N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB). Optimum conditions were established using luminometry. There is a linear relationship between the chemiluminescent peak height and the amount of PVK within the range 0.5 - 129.5 mg L~(-1), with a detection limit of 0.2 mg L~(-1). The coefficient of variation was 1.2% for 40 mg L~(-1 ) PVK solution (n = 7). The method is very simple, has high sensitivity and good selectivity, and is usable for process control. It was successfully utilized for the determination of PVK in pharmaceuticals and spiked human urine.
