  • Title: Novel and selective potentiometric membrane sensor for amiloride determination in pharmaceutical compounds and urine.
    Author: Ensafi AA, Allafchian AR.
    Journal: J Pharm Biomed Anal; 2008 Aug 05; 47(4-5):802-6. PubMed ID: 18448303.
    Abstract:
    A new PVC membrane sensor is described as a potentiometric sensor for amiloride. The sensor having amiloride-sodium tetraphenyl phthalate (ion-pair) as an electroactive material and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as an anion excluder in PVC matrix in the percentage ratio of 4:66:30 (ion-pair: DBP:PVC) (w/w). The membrane sensor exhibits suitable response to amiloride in a concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-2) to 1.0 x 10(-6)mol L(-1) with a limit of detection of 9.9 x 10(-7)mol L(-1). The slope of the system was -54.3+/-1.0 mV decade(-1) over pH range of 2.0-7.0. Selectivity coefficients for amiloride relative to a numbers of potential interfering substances were investigated. The sensor was highly selective for amiloride over a large number of similar compounds. The sensor showing a fast response time of 6s and was used over a period of 2 months with a good reproducibility. The sensor was successfully applied to determination of amiloride in pharmaceutical samples with satisfactory results.
