Imatinib (GleevecTM, ST1571) exemplifies the successful development of a rationally designed molecularly targeted therapy for treatment of a specific cancer. It is a highly promising new drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis, in the accelerated or chronic phase after interferon failure or intolerance. The electrochemical behavior of imatinib was studied in Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffers of pH 2 to 11 by means of cyclic voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The voltammograms showed a single 2-electron irreversible cathodic peak, which may be attributed to reduction of the C=O double bond of the imatinib molecule. Imatinib exhibited a strong adsorption onto the electrode surface especially in B–R buffers of pH 6 and 7. The adsorptive response of the drug was optimized with respect to the pH of the electrolysis medium, accumulation variables, and instrumental parameters using a square-wave stripping voltammetry technique. A fully validated, simple, sensitive, precise, and selective square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetric procedure is described for trace determination of imatinib. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) of the bulk imatinib, following preconcentration for 150 s onto the hanging mercury drop electrode, were found to be 2.6 × 10–10 and 8.7 × 10–10 mol/L, respectively. The proposed procedure was successfully applied for quantitation of imatinib in pharmaceutical formulation (Glivec®) and spiked human serum, without the necessity for sample pretreatment or time-consuming extraction or evaporation steps prior to analysis of the drug. LOD and LOQ of 4.6 × 10–10 and 1.5 × 10–9 mol/L, respectively, were achieved after 120 s of preconcentration of the drug spiked in human serum.Key words: imatinib, GleevecTM, Glivec®, ST1571, cyclic voltammetry, square-wave stripping voltammetry, electrochemical behavior, quantification, pharmaceutical formulation, human serum.

Conditions were found for the determination of azobenzene by means of DC, AC, TAST, DP, and FSDP polarography and linear sweep voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode in the medium of aqueous methanol, which ensures a sufficient solubility of azobenzene. In the latter two methods, the detection limit was around 10-8 mol/l; a still lower value could be attained by preliminary accumulation of azobenzene, i.e. adsorption on the electrode surface.

The polarographic behaviour of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-4'-sulfoazobenzene was investigated by tast polarography and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode, constant-potential coulometry at a large area mercury electrode and cyclic voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by tast polarography in the concentration range of 2-100 μmol l-1, differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the concentration range of 0.2-100 μmol l-1 and by differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the concentration range of 0.02-10 μmol l-1. The sensitivity of the determination can be further improved by adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the hanging mercury drop electrode. Three-minute accumulation in stirred solution allows determination in the range of 0.2-100 nmol l-1.

The polarographic reduction of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-3'-nitroazobenzene was studied by tast polarography and differential pulse polarography, constant potential coulometry and cyclic voltammetry and mechanism was proposed for the reduction. Optimal conditions were found for the determination of the test substance using tast polarography in concentration range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography at classical dropping mercury electrode and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and linear scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in range 1 . 10-5 - 2 . 10-8 mol l-1. A further increase in the sensitivity was achieved through adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting the determination to be carried out in the concentration range 1 . 10-7 - 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.
