Abstract

A novel flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of dihydralazine sulphate (DHZS) is described. The method is based on the CL produced during the oxidation of DHZS by acidic permanganate solution in the presence of rhodamine B. Rhodamine B is suggested as a fluorescing compound for the energy-transferred excitation. The CL emission allows quantitation of DHZS concentration in the range 5-800 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 1.9 ng/mL (3sigma). The experimental conditions for the CL reaction are optimized and the possible reaction mechanism is discussed. The method has been applied to the determination of DHZS in pharmaceutical preparations and compares well with the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
