The Degradation of Organic Dyes by Corona Discharge

Abstract

A resonance light scattering technique to determine tinidazole in drugs was developed by tetraphenylboron sodium (TPB). Tinidazole was found to bind B(C 6 H 5 ) − 4 anion and transformed to tinidazole-TPB aggregate which displayed intense resonance scattering light. Effects of factors such as wavelength, acidity, stabilizers, and interferents on the RLS of tinidazole TPB were investigated in detail. The RLS intensity of the tinidazole-TPB suspension was obtained in sulfuric acid solution (pH = 1.44). The resonance scattering light intensity at the maximum RLS peak of 569.5 nm was linear to the concentration of tinidazole in the range of 10.0-30.0 μg mL −1 with a detection limit of 5.0 μg mL −1 . Good results were also obtained with the recovery range of 95.13-106.76%. The method was applied to determine tinidazole in injections and tablets, showing high sensitivity and accuracy compared with the high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Simultaneous Determination of Omeprazole, Tinidazole and Clarithromycin in Bulk Powder and Helicure Tablets by HPLC

“…Tinidazole was estimated in body fluids and in pharmaceutical formulations by spectrophotometry [24][25][26][27][28][29], potentiometry [29], HPLC methods [29][30][31], polarography [32,33] and resonance light scattering technique [34]. Clarithromycin has been reported to be estimated in body fluids and in pharmaceutical formulations by spectrophotometry [35], HPLC methods [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44].…”
