AbstractPolyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane sensors were constructed and developed for the determination of procainamide HCl (PR). Three membrane sensors incorporating α-, β- and γ- cyclodextrin (CD) as ionophores with potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as the ion additive, o-nitro phenyl ether (o-NPOE) as the plasticizer and a PVC matrix. The reaction mechanisms were based on inclusion complexes. The developed α- and β- CD sensors exhibited near-Nernstian profile, whereas γ- CD showed a non-Nernstian response. At pH 4 -8, the sensors exhibited a calibration range for PR of 10-3 to 10−6, and the detection limits were 2.40 × 10-6, 2.12 × 10-6, 2.40 × 10-6 for α-, β- and γ- CD sensors, respectively. Interference was investigated by studying the selectivity coefficient values of the test sensors, which indicated that the methods were free from interference from investigated species. The determination of PR exhibited high recovery and favorable relative standard deviation using the investigated sensors. The sensors were subsequently used for the quantification of PR in a pharmaceutical formulation and the potentiometric results agreed with those of a spectrophotometric method. A molecular docking (MD) study was used to predict the structure of the inclusion complexes of PR (guest) and α- or β- or γ-CD (host). The study results indicated that the formed complexes were stable with sufficient binding energy.
