Abstract
In order to develop the square wave voltammetric method determining cimetidine in an ampoule for injection, $5.00{\times}10^{-4}\;M$ cimetidine HCl solutions prepared with phosphate buffers of various pH values (3.01~8.97) were investigated by SWV. The well defined single peak due to the electrochemical reduction of -C=N-C$\equiv$N- in the structure of cimetidine moved towards the cathodic direction by -0.051V/pH as the pH values were increased indicating the involvement of hydrogen in its reduction. The calibration curves of cimetidine HCl in the concentration range between $1.00{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ and $5.00{\times}10^{-3}\;M$ prepared using three phosphate buffers yielded the slopes of 127,407nA/M (pH 3.01), 115,125nA/M (pH 5.00) and 111,287nA/M(pH 7.00) with excellent linearities of $R^2{\geqq}0.9997$. When one ampoule of Tagma Inj.$^{(R)}$ was analyzed by standard addition method by SWV, the within-day precision study (n=4) on the day of sample preparation resulted in the contents of cimetidine as $203{\pm}3.8\;mg$ (102% of the specified contents, RSD of 1.9%) and the inter-day precision (n=4) through 5 days was reasonable as 1.3% of RSD.
