Objectives:The main purpose of this work is to design a simple, sensitive, accurate and precise potentiometric membrane ion selective electrodes for selective determination of loperamide hydrochloride in bulk powder and in pharmaceutical preparation. Methods: Electrochemical behavior of loperamide hydrochloride were investigated using PVC membrane and modified carbon nanotubes paste sensors. The linearity of this developed method was established in the concentration range of 10 -5 -10 -2 M and 10 -6 -10 -2 M shows a Nernstian slope of 57.38 mV and 58.74 mV for PVC and Carbon paste sensor, respectively. Results: Validation parameters such as specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, stability, limit of detection were found to be within the acceptance limit as studied according to IUPAC recommendation data. Conclusion: Both sensors ware successfully applied for potentiometric determination of loperamide hydrochloride in its pure form and pharmaceutical formulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
