Sažetak

A new flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of glutathione (GSH), penicillamine (PEN) and tiopronin (mercaptopropionyl glycine, MPG) in pharmaceutical formulations is reported. The method is based on the reduction of Cu(II)-neocuproine reagent to Cu(I)-neocuproine by GSH, PEN or MPG in buffered medium (pH = 3) to form a stable coloured complex (λmax = 458 nm). Experimental conditions were optimized by univariate method, resulting with linear calibration curves in concentration range from 2 × 10−6 to 3 × 10−5 mol L−1 for GSH, 6 × 10−7 to 4 × 10−5 mol L−1 for PEN and 4 × 10−7 to 4 × 10−5 mol L−1 for MPG. The achieved analytical frequency was 180 h−1 for GSH and PEN and 120 h−1 for MPG. The proposed method was successfully applied for determination of GSH, PEN and MPG in pharmaceutical formulations, and the usual excipients in pharmaceuticals did not interfere with the analysis.
