Ll. Zamora et Jm. Calatayud, EXTRACTIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ONDANSETRON BY ION-PAIR FORMATION WITH BROMOCRESOL GREEN, Analytical letters, 29(5), 1996, pp. 785-792
An empirical spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the
antiemetic ondansetron is carried out. The method is based on the for
mation of a 1:1 ion pair with bromocresol green in the pH range over 3
.2 - 4.4, extraction into chloroform layer and spectrophotometric meas
urement at 420.8 nm. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.
1 - 20 mu g ml(-1) ondansetron, with a relative standard deviation of
2.7%; the influence of foreign substances is also studied. The method
is applied to ondansetron determination in human urine.
