AbstractTetrazepam dissolved in the Britton-Robinson universal buffer of various pH values (2.5–11.5) containing 10 vol. % of ethanol was reduced at the mercury electrode in a single 2-electron irreversible step due to reduction of the 4,5 C=N double bond of the seven-membered ring. Differential pulse polarography (DPP) and adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV) techniques (Linear sweep LS, differential pulse DP and square-wave SW modes) for quantification of tetrazepam in bulk form and in myolastan tablets are presented. Moreover, the described linear sweep, differential pulse, and square-wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry was successfully applied in quantification of tetrazepam in spiked human serum without any prior extraction of the drug. The obtained results showed an increased sensitivity of the described electro-analytical procedures for the quantification of tetrazepam in the following order DPP, DP-AdCSV, LS-AdCSV, and SW-AdCSV, since the observed limits of tetrazepam quantitation by these electroanalytical techniques were 5 × 10−6 mol L−1, 3 × 10−7 mol L−1, 1 × 10−8 mol L−1, and 3 × 10−9 mol L−1, respectively.

Four 6-R-2-thiouracils (R = H, methyl, propyl, benzyl) were examined by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry on mercury electrode. The research led to a very sensitive analytical method that allows their determination on nanomolar level. The detection limit of the 6-propyl derivative is as low as 1.0 × 10-9 mol dm-3. The procedure is very simple and utilizes only most common chemical reagents (such as acetate buffer). The buffer concentration plays an important role in the preconcentration stage, due to the adsorption processes accompanying electrode reactions. The new analytical method was tested with commercial samples of various antithyroid drugs.

Miconazole is reduced at mercury electrode above pH 6 involving organometallic compound formation, responsible for an anomalous polarographic behavior. The electrodic process presents a large contribution of the adsorption effects. The drug can be determined by cathodic stripping voltammetry from 8.0 x 10-8 to 1, 5 x 10-6 molL-1 in Britton-Robinson buffer pH 8.0, when pre-accumulated for 30s at an accumulation potential of 0V. A relative standard deviation of 3.8% was obtained for ten measurements of 1.0 x 10-7 molL-1 miconazole in B-R buffer pH 8.0 and a limit detection of 1, 7 x 10-8 molL-1 was determined using 60s of deposition time and scan rate of 100 mVs-1. The proposed method is simple, precise and it was applied successfully for the determination of the miconazole in pure form and in commercial formulations, showing mean recoveries of 99.7-98.4%.
