A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determinations of daidzein in pharmaceutical preparations and to assess its ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals. It was shown that a strong CL signal generated when eosin Y was mixed with Fenton reagent was decreased significantly when daidzein was added to the reaction system due to partial scavenging of the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometric relationship with the daidzein concentration. Based on this, we developed a new method for the determination of daidzein, using a flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) technique. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of daidzein concentration was 8.0 × 10(-8) -3.0 × 10(-6) mol/L (R = 0.9982), with a detection limit of 9.0 × 10(-9) mol/L (S:N = 3), and the RSD was 5.8% for 1.0 × 10(-6) mol/L daidzein (n = 11). This method was successfully used in the determination of daidzein in tablets and for evaluation of the hydroxyl radical-scavenging capacity of daidzein. The possible reaction mechanism of the CL system is discussed.
A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of puerarin in pharmaceutical preparations. It was shown that a strong CL signal was observed when Eosin Y reacted with the hydroxyl radicals which were generated from Fenton reagent in acidic medium. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when puerarin was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometrical relationship with puerarin concentration. Based on this, a new method for the determination of puerarin using a flow injection chemiluminescence technique was developed. The experimental parameters that affected the CL intensity were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range for puerarin concentration was 8.0×10-8 -2.0×10 -6 mol/L (R=0.9982) with a detection limit of 7.5×10-9mol/L (S/N=3) and the relative standard deviation was 1.7% for 4.0×10 -7 mol/L puerarin (n=11). The proposed method was applied to the determination of puerarin in a puerarin injection with satisfactory results.
A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) in pharmaceutical preparations. It was showed that a clear CL signal was observed when Eosin Y mixed with Fenton reagent. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when Ara-C was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometrical relationship with the Ara-C concentration. Based on this, we developed a new method for the determination of Ara-C using a flow injection analysis (FIA) technique with CL detection. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of Ara-C concentration was 6.0 × 10.0 × 10 −7 mol/L (R = 0.9982) with a detection limit of 7.6 × 10 −10 mol/L (S/N=3) , the RSD was 5.6% for 6.0 × 10 −8 mol/L Ara-C (n = 11). The method was successfully applied to the determination of Ara-C in injection samples. The possible chemiluminescence reaction mechanism was discussed.
