Abstract
A novel potentiometric, enantioselective membrane electrode based on graphite paste (graphite powder and paraffin oil), impregnated with 10-3 mol/L
2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammoniopropyl--cyclodextrin (as chloride salt) solution, has been constructed. The potentiometric, enantioselective membrane electrode can be used for the reliable
assay of S-enalapril as raw material and from its pharmaceutical formulations in the concentration range of
mol/L with a detection limit of
mol/L and with an
average recovery of 99.96% (RSD = 0.098%), using a chronopotentiometric (zero current) technique. The enantioselectivity was determined versus D-proline and it was shown only L-proline is
the main interfering compound. The surface of the electrode can be regenerated by simply polishing to obtain a fresh surface which is ready to be used in a new assay.
Key words: Potentiometry / enantioselective membrane electrode / enantioselective analysis / 2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammoniopropyl--cyclodextrin / S-enalapril.
