Polarographic determination of flutamide. 1989

Department of Analytical Chemistry, Institute for Drug Research and Control, Warsaw, Poland.

The polarographic reduction of flutamide was investigated by direct current polarography (DCP), alternating current polarography (ACP), normal pulse polarography (NPP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP). The supporting solution was phosphate buffer containing 5% of 95% ethanol. The reduction process at the dropping mercury electrode was diffusion controlled and irreversible. Extraction with 95% ethanol followed by polarographic reduction was selected as the basis of a method for the determination of flutamide as a pure compound and in tablets.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011048	Polarography	An electrochemical technique for measuring the current that flows in solution as a function of an applied voltage. The observed polarographic wave, resulting from the electrochemical response, depends on the way voltage is applied (linear sweep or differential pulse) and the type of electrode used. Usually a mercury drop electrode is used.	DC Polarography,Pulse Polarography,Polarography, DC,Polarography, Pulse
