구리수은막 전극(CBMFE)으로 전위차 역적정함으로써 이소니아자이드(INH)를 정량하는 간단하고 빠른 방법이다. 순수한 형태와 투약형태에 대해서 1.0-10.0 mg 범위에서 정량 할 수 있도록 적정조건을 설정하였다. 방법의 정밀도와 정확도는 통계적인 방법으로 평가되었으며, 정제와 시럽속에 함유된 INH 정량법은 F-시험과 t-시험을 통하여 영국약전(BP) 방법과 비교하였다.
A simple, rapid potentiometric back titration of Isoniazid (INH) in the presence of Rifampicin (RIF) in tablets and syrups is described. The method is based on the oxidation of INH by a known excess of copper (II) ion and the back titration of unreacted copper (II) ion potentiometrically with ascorbic acid using a lab-made Copper Based Mercury Film Electrode (CBMFE). The titration conditions have been optimized for the determination of 1.0-10.0 mg of INH in pure and dosage forms. The precision and accuracy of the method have been assessed by the application of lack-of-fit test and other statistical methods. Interference was not caused by RIF and other excipients present in dosage forms. Application of the method for INH assay in tablets and syrups was validated by comparison of the results of proposed method with that of the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) method using F- and t- statistical tests of significance.
