T. Perezruiz et al., FLOW-INJECTION EXTRACTION-SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF BROMHEXINE WITH ORANGE-IV, Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, 13(9), 1995, pp. 1101-1106
An automatic flow-injection photometric method for the determination o
f bromhexine is proposed. The drug was determined by formation of an i
on-pair with orange IV, extraction into 1,2-dichloroethane and measure
ment of the absorbance at 412 nm of the organic phase. A linear calibr
ation graph was obtained at concentrations of 5 x 10(-6) - 1.6 x 10(-4
) M of bromhexine. Up to 40 samples h(-1) can be processed with an RSD
of 0.32-0.88%. The method was applied to the determination of bromhex
ine in blood serum and a pharmaceutical preparation.
