The electrochemical reduction of zanosar was investigated systematically by direct current polarography, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse polarography (DPP). A simple DPP technique was proposed for the direct quantitative determination of anticancer drug zanosar in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human urine samples for the first time. The reduction potential was −0.28 V versus Ag/AgCl with a hanging mercury drop electrode in Britton-Robinson buffer as supporting electrolyte. The dependence of the intensities of currents and potentials on pH, concentration, scan rate, deposition time, and nature of the supporting electrolyte was investigated. The calibration curve was found to be linear with the following equation:y=0.4041x+0.012, with a correlation coefficient of 0.992 (R2) over a concentration range from1.0×10-7 M to1.0×10-3 M. In the present investigation, the achieved limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantization (LQD) were7.42×10-8 M and2.47×10-8 M; respectively. Excipients did not interfere with the determination of zanosar in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked urine samples. Precision and accuracy of the developed method were checked by recovery studies in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human urine samples.

Differential pulse polarography was employed for the determination of arsenic in bituminous coal from Figueiras, Parana, Brazil. The dried coal sample was crushed to -100 mesh, ashed, and treated with reducing reagents in acidic media. The arsine generated was collected and selectively oxidized to Al +3 using an absorbing solution of 0.1 mol.L -1 [tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane] ( TRIS) and 0. 002 mol.L -1 silver nitrate. A solution of TRIS and hydrochloric acid, pH -1, was used as supporting electrolyte for differential pulse polarographic determination of Al+3 in the concentration range 0.05 -0.60 μglmL. The average arsenic concentration found was 69.0 ± 2.6 mg.kg -1 and was in agreement with the spectrophotometric method using silver-diethyldithiocarbamate-pyridine.

Abstract A differential pulse polarographic method is proposed for the trace determination of bismuth and copper from large volumes of aqueous samples after adsorption of their 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol complexes onto microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH ranges of 7.2–9.0 and 4.0–7.8, respectively. Bismuth and copper are desorbed from microcrystalline naphthalene with 9 mL 1M HCl. Well-defined peaks are obtained at Ep = −0.09 and −0.20 V versus a saturated calomel electrode, in an HCl–isoquinoline medium as the supporting electrolyte, for bismuth and copper, respectively. Bismuth is reduced reversibly with a 3-electron change, whereas copper is reduced irreversibly under these conditions. The detection limits are 55 ng/mL for bismuth and 91 ng/mL for copper. Linearity is maintained in the concentration ranges of 0.18–13.5 and 0.30-17.3 μg/mL for bismuth and copper, respectively, with corresponding correlation coefficients of 0.9996 and 0.9885. The relative standard deviations are 1.0% for bismuth at 2.0 μg/mL and 1.4% for copper at 5.0 μg/mL. Various parameters were optimized to develop conditions for the determination of these metal ions in various samples.

Abstract Tiaprofenic acid (Surgam®) has been determined directly by using differential pulse polarography (DPP) and pH 5.5 acetate buffer as a supporting electrolyte. The differential pulse polarogram was obtained under constant amplitude pulses of 50 mV superimposed on a linearly increasing dc ramp. Peak current was measured at the peak potential of — 0.990 V vs Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Under the experimental conditions used, a linear relationship between peak current and concentration was established over the range 0.5-5.0 ng/mL. Mean percentage recoveries for tiaprofenic acid in authentic and tablet forms were 100.27 ± 2.25 and 99.45 ± 1.44, respectively. The results obtained by the DPP method were compared with those of the spectrophotometric method used by the manufacturer for the analysis of tiaprofenic acid and its tablet form.

The differential pulse polarography technique was applied to the determination of some pesticides containing nitro groups in their molecules. The nitro groups were found to be reduced to hydroxylamines or to the corresponding amines. The effect of medium, particularly of pH of the supporting electrolyte, was examined. The pesticides were determined in concentrations less than 10 μg l-1, which shows primose for the application of the technique to environmental water purity monitoring.
