Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the direct electrochemical behaviors of matrine (MT), oxymatrine (OMT), sophoridine (SR) and oxysophoridine (OSR) at a glassy carbon electrode in a physiological medium, and to determine the contents of commercial MT and SR pharmaceutical products were determined.
METHODTheir electrochemical behaviors and contents in 0.15 mol x L(-1) NaCl aqueous solutions were obtained by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) methods.
RESULTThe electrochemical experimental results show that the two totally irreversible oxidation peaks for both MT and SR were observed, which potential values are 0.81 V and 0.92 V, and the electrode reaction processes were diffusion-controlled. But for both OMT and OSR, they have no oxidation peaks observed in the same condition as well. The linear range of the concentration of MT and SR and the contents in their products were obtained by SWV.
CONCLUSIONThe research results can be applied in determination of the contents of commercial MT and SR pharmaceutical products.
