Abstract

The aim of the work. Development of an improved, carbon disulfide free method for the determination of oxybuprocaine in pharmaceuticals.

Materials and Methods. Identification of the active pharmaceutical ingredient of  oxybuprocaine dosage forms by IR spectroscopy in KBr tablets after extraction with volatile organic solvent.

Results and Discussion. Instead of carbon disulphide, a less fire-hazardous and less toxic n-hexane was used to extract the base of oxybuprocaine. After evaporation of the solvent, the infrared spectra of the standard sample and the test substance (test sample) were recorded under the same conditions. Comparison of IR spectra indicates a coincidence of  95 %, which confirms the legitimacy of the replacement of carbon disulfide by n-hexane.

Conclusion. The developed approach has advantages over the known technique with the absence of fire-hazardous and poisonous carbon bisulphide.
