B. Starczewska et K. Mielech, Application of chrome azurol S for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of fluoxetine and fluvoxamine, J PHARM B, 23(2-3), 2000, pp. 243-247
Chrome azurol S has been tested as a spectrophotometric reagent for the det
ermination of fluoxetine (FXT) and fluvoxamine (FXM). It reacts in aqueous
media with FXT and FXM forming coloured, sparingly soluble in water compoun
ds. These compounds can be quantitatively extracted with some organic solve
nts. This property has been exploited fur the development of the extractive
spectrophotometric methods for the determination of fluoxetine and fluvoxa
mine. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.
