A flow-injection amperometric method for determining antiviral guanine derivatives

Resumo

A flow-injection method is proposed for determining antiviral guanine derivatives, acyclovir, valacyclovir, ganciclovir, and famciclovir, based on their amperometric detection on a carbositall electrode with a preactivated surface. The method is characterized by a wide analytical range, relatively low detection limits (0.6–1.2 μg/mL), and high performance (75 h^–1). The results of examination of the accuracy and reproducibility of the analysis of solutions of different pharmaceutical forms containing the test substances are presented. The potentials of the developed flow-injection method in the implementation of the “Dissolution” test in an automated mode are demonstrated.
