[Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of carbethopendecinium-bromide in drug preparations].

The paper elaborated the conditions for the determination of carbethopendecinium bromide with bromthymol blue and methyl orange (concentration of the drug and the colouring agent, pH of the aqueous phase, period of extraction with chloroform). Within a carbethopendecinium bromide concentration range of 1.10(-5) to 6.10(-5) mol/l, the linear dependence of absorbance of the ion-associate with the colouring agent on concentration was confirmed. At pH 3 and pH 10, the above-described procedure was used to determine the content of carbethopendecinium bromide in medicinal preparations (eye and nasal drops) using the calibration curve and comparison with one standard. The results were reproducible and the found deviations from the declared content ranged within a tolerance of +/- 10%.
