Determination of cefalaxin in pharmaceutical preparation bymoleculary imprented polymer in PVC matrix membrane

Abstract EN

This current study was built on creating four electrodes based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs).

As the template using Cefalexin (CFX), 1-vinyl imidazole (VIZ) and vinyl acetate (VA) as monomer, and N, N-methylene bis acrylamide (MBAA) as cross-linkers and benzoyl peroxide as the initiator, two MIPs were prepared.

The same composition was used in non-impressed polymers (NIPs) preparation, but without the template (Cefalexin).

For the membranes preparation, numerous plasticizers, such as tri-oly phosphate (TOP) and di-octyl phthalate (DOP), were used in the PVC matrix, slop, detection limit, lifetime, and linearity range of CFX-MIPs electrodes are characteristics studied.

To describe the created MIP, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the properties of the electrodes, the slope, the detection limit, and the life time and linearity range.

The effect of PH and interference on the efficiency of the electrode MIP was also investigated.

The study has shown that the molecularly imprinted electrodes have high sensitivity and responsiveness to cefalaxin.

The DPV value was linearly dependence on the aspirin concentration and a linear curve was obtained within the range of (1×10−1 - 5×10-4) M of cefalaxin with correlation coefficients are about (0.9941, 0.9899, 0.9936 and 0.9837) with slops value of (-18.48, -18.84, -18.60 and -19.47) and the detection limit for all electrodes ranging from (6×10-1-9×10-1) M.

In the selectivity measurements results that we obtained there's no interaction with the cefalexin drug on interfering cations (K+, Ca+2, Al+3) and certain pharmaceutical additives such as methylparaben, propylparaben and trisodium citrate.

The preparation electrodes have been shown good response including testing pharmaceutical analysis.

The strategy employed is easy and fast.

CFX membranes also have a short reaction speed, excellent mechanical stability, are removable and quick to create.
