Coupling Procedure

A method for plasma bilirubin determination is described. It is a modification of the Jendrassik and Grof alkaline diazo-coupling procedure and allows determination of both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin in small amounts of plasma. Five commonly used diazo-coupling methods are compared with special reference to the influence of hemolysis in the sample. The Jendrassik and Grof method as modified by Nosslin and Michaëlsson is shown to have the smallest methodological error and to be insignificantly influenced by hemolysis in the sample, in contrast to the methods of Malloy and Evelyn, Lathe and Ruthven, Ducci and Watson, and Powell. The bilirubin standardization procedure, methodological errors, and the influence of hemolysis in the sample are discussed.

Diazonium Ion

Simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric procedures were developed for the analysis of Alfuzosin hydrochloride (AFZ) in pure form as well as in pharmaceutical formulations. The methods are based on the reaction of AFZ with nitrite in acid medium to form diazonium ion, which is coupled with ethoxyethylenemaleic ester (Method A) or ethylcyanoacetate (Method B) or acetyl acetone (method C) in basic medium to form azo dyes, showing absorption maxima at 440, 465 and 490 nm respectively. Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration of 4-20 μg/mL of AFZ for methods A, B and 3-15 μg/mL of AFZ for method C. The molar absorptivity and sandell’s sensitivity of AFZ- ethoxyethylenemaleic ester, AFZ- ethylcyanoacetate and AFZ-acetyl acetone are1.90 × 104, 0.022; 1.93 × 104, 0.021 and 2.67 × 104L mole-1cm-1, 0.015 μg cm-2respectively. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters were evaluated. The methods were successfully applied to the determination of AFZ in pharmaceutical formulations.
