Ukrainian National University of Pharmacy,t.Kharkov

 

The list of drugs of domestic and foreign production offered on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine is constantly spreading, so the development of methods of chemical-toxicological and forensic analysis potent drugs is an actual problem. In recent years, in medical practice is observed a significant increase in acute poisoning agents antihistamine action, which includes chloropyramine hydrochloride.

According to the literary sources of data on the systematic study chloropyramine hydrochloride in biological objects are not available, not studied methods of isolation  of chloropyramine hydrochloride from biological objects, removal of impurities, identification and quantitative determination in the extracts, the distribution in the organs of animals, storage in biological material and metabolism.

The aim of this work is  development of chemical and toxicological analysis of  chloropyramine hydrochloride in liver tissue of corpses, based on effective and express technique its water isolation from biological material.

Materials and method. Extraction of  chloropyramine hydrochloride from  model mixture of 10,0 g of minced liver tissue of corpses of animals and 1,0 mg  substance, and control samples were performed using water acidified with 10% oxalic acid solution (pH 2-2,5) [1,2].

After alkalinization  aqueous phase of  25% ammonium hydroxide solution to pH 9-10 chloropyramine-base was extracted with chloroform.

Purification of the extracts was performed using centrifuge 6000 r / min for 10 min. After drying the organic extract at room temperature and dissolving the dry residue in 20 ml of 0,1 M solution of hydrochloric acid extraction was performed three times with hexane impurities 5 ml.

For quantification of chloropyramine in extracts used the UV- spectrophotometric method: spectrophotometer SF-46, the cell thickness of 10 mm; chloropyramine hydrochloride solution in 0,1 M hydrochloric acid solution, λ max = 312 ± 2 nm; reference solution obtained from the control sample [3]. 

For quantification of chloropyramine using calibration curve constructed in coordinates: A ( optical density solutions) - Ñ, µg / ml (concentration of solutions of the substance in 0,1 M solution of hydrochloric acid ): C = -0,018 + 0,024 A.

 Interval linear calibration curve was in the range of concentrations  of  5,0 – 35,0 µg / ml; lower limit of detection – 5,0 µg / ml [3].

Results. These data in Table are shown reproducibility of determination of the substance by the developed pattern analysis, as evidenced by metrological characteristics.

The study  found  that the use of water to isolate chloropyramine is efficient, economical and expressive, due to lower losses substances when cleaning extracts from impurities.

The technique can be proposed for implementation in practice of  forensics, toxicology centers, clinical laboratories for the study of drugs in biological objects.

 

Conclusions

1. As a result of researches chloropyramine  analysis of biological material, which consists of stages: extraction of chloropyramine with water acidification oxalic acid from the liver corpse, cleaning hexane the extracts  and assay chloropyramine by UV- spectrophotometry.

2. Established that chloropyramine extraction from biological material with water, acidified with oxalic acid to determine – 67,4 ± 3,2% substance.
