Abstract:
The fabrication and electrochemical response
characteristics of two novel potentiometric sensors for the
selective determination of domperidone (DOM) are described.
The two fabricated sensors incorporate DOM–PTA
(phosphotungstic acid) ion pair as the electroactive material.
The sensors include a PVC membrane sensor and a carbon
paste sensor. The sensors showed a linear, stable, and near
Nernstian slope of 56.5 and 57.8 mV/decade for PVC
membrane and carbon paste sensors, respectively over a
relatively wide range of DOM concentration (1.0 9
10-1–1.0 9 10-5 and 1.0 9 10-1–3.55 9 10-6 M). The
response time of DOM–PTA membrane sensor was less than
25 s and that in the case of carbon paste sensor was less than
20 s.Auseful pH range of 4–6 was obtained for both types of
sensors. A detection limit of 7.36 9 10-5 M was obtained
for PVC membrane sensor and 1.0 9 10-6 M was obtained
for carbon paste sensor. The proposed sensors showed very
good selectivity toDOMin the presence of a large number of
other interfering ions. The analytical application of the
developed sensors in the determination of the drug in pharmaceutical
formulations such as tablets was investigated.
The results obtained are in good agreement with the values
obtained by the standard method. The sensors were also
applied for the determination ofDOMin real samples such as
urine by the standard addition method.
