Determination of Memantine HCl by UV Spectrophotometry using MPCN as an UV-labelling Reagent

자외부 유도화제인 MPCN을 이용한 memantine HCl의 정량

Spectrophotometric assay for memantine HCl was developed by using sodium 1-(4-methoxypheyl) cinnamonitrile-2-sulfonate (MPCN) as an UV labelling reagent. The optimum derivatizing condition was obtained by incubation for 30 min at pH 5.0 in the presence of 20-fold molar excess of the labelling reagent. The absorbance of reaction product was measured at 324.5 nm and detection limit was $0.43{\mu}g/ml$. A linear range was $5.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}6.5{\times}10^{-5}M$ of memantine HCl. The linear regression analysis of absorbance at various drug concentration was r=0.9998 (n=6). When applied to memantine HCl ampule and tablet, it gave the mean contents of $100.08{\pm}0.72%$ and $99.75{\pm}0.77%$, respectively.

Memantine HCl을 자외부 유도화제인 MPCN과 반응시켜 흡광광도법으로 정량하였다. 유도화반응은 pH 5, $50^{\circ}C$에서 MPCN을 1:20배 몰비로 사용하여 30분간 반응시켰으며 dichloromethane으로 추출한 후 324.5nm에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 memantine HCl의 최종 농도로써 $5.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}6.5{\times}10^{-5}M$ 사이에서 직선성을 나타냈으며 detection limit는 $0.43{\mu}g/ml$이었다. 본 분석법을 제제에 적용하였을 때 주사제는 $100.08{\pm}0.72%$였고 정제는 $99.75{\pm}0.77%$로, 부형제에 의한 영향 없이 간편하고 신속하게 재현성 있는 결과를 나타내므로 의약품의 품질관리에 효과적으로 응용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
