Abstract
The flow injection analysis of paracetamol was developed based on its inhibitory effect on a luminol-permanganate chemiluminescence system. With a system containing solutions of 2.5 mM luminol, 5.0 μM KMnO 4 and pH 12.0 phosphate buffer (K 2HPO 4/NaOH), a detection limit of 1.0×10 −8 M (1.5 ppb) and a linear dynamic range of 2.5×10 −8 to 2.5×10 −7 M can be obtained. A repetitive injection of 1.0×10 −7 M paracetamol solutions gave satisfactory reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 2.3% ( n=12). Possible interferences from major excipients in pharmaceuticals and other related compounds were also studied. Contents of paracetamol in two locally available pharmaceuticals were analyzed. From the recovery of 98.2–104.4% obtained, the feasibility of the developed method for real sample analysis was confirmed.
