Drugs and Medicines Purity determination for papaverine hydrochloride by perchloric aid titration

1. Abstract

Determination for papaverine hydrochloride is defined in Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Papaverine hydrochloride is used for improvement of vasodilatation and symptoms on gastritis, disease of biliary tract (gallbladder) system, acute arterial embolus, acute pulmonary embolism, peripheral circulatory failure, and inadequate coronary circulation.
The purity determination of papaverine hydrochloride using potentiometric titration with perchloric acid titrant is introduced in this report. Sample is dissolved by heating with acetic anhydride / glacial acetic acid mixture and cooled to room temperature. After that, the titration is performed, 1 mol papaverine hydrochloride reacts with 1 mol perchloric acid quantitatively.

Papaverine hydrochloride (C₂₀H₂₁NO₄・HCl, FW:375.85)

2. Configuration of instruments and Reagents

(1) Configuration of instruments
  Main unit : Hiranuma Automatic Titrator COM Series
  Electrodes : Glass electrode GE-101B
    : Reference electrode RE-201Z
Inner solution has to be changed to saturated sodium perchlorate in glacial acetic acid.
(2) Reagents    
  Titrant : 0.1 mol/L perchloric acid – acetic acid standard solution
  Titration solvent : Mixture of glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride (3:7, v/v)
  Inner solution : Saturated sodium perchlorate in glacial acetic acid

3. Measurement procedure

(1) Take about 0.5 g of sample into 200 mL beaker and weigh accurately to 0.1 mg digits.
(2) Add 100 mL of titration solvent and dissolve sample by heating and stirring. After that, cool it down to room temperature.
(3) Immerse the electrode and titrate by 0.1 mol/L Perchloric acid – acetic acid standard solution.
Additionally, perform the blank test with the same procedure of sample measurement.

5. Note

(1) Temperature correction of perchloric acid standard solution
 This measurement determines the purity of the sample. Therefore, please pay attention for accurate weighing, measurement of factor or blank. Especially, the factor determination of perchloric acid – acetic acid standard solution should be regularly performed with potassium hydrogen phthalate. Acetic acid used as a solvent for the titrant has a relatively large thermal expansion coefficient. For example, a temperature change of 1 °C on this titrant causes a volume change of 0.1 %. Factor titration and sample measurement should be performed at the same room temperature as much as possible for accurate measurement.
 When the temperature of the sample measurement is different from that of factor titration, assign the following correction formula for titrant factor to the concentration calculation of sample.
  • F= F₀
    1+α(t-t₀)
  • F :Corrected factor at sample titration
    F₀:Factor at titrant factor determination
    α :Thermal expansion coefficient of titrant
      (Acetic acid=1.07×10⁻³)
    t :Temperature at sample titration
    t₀:Temperature at titrant factor determination
(2) Preparation of inner solution for reference electrode
 The inner solution of the reference electrode RE-201Z is filled with saturated KCl aqueous solution when purchased. This inner solution have to be replaced to saturated sodium perchlorate in acetic acid solution for this measurement. Replacement procedure is described below.
i) Prepare the saturated solution of sodium perchlorate in acetic acid with reagent grade of these.
ii) Discharge inner solution from reference electrode RE-201Z and wash inside it with water and then acetic acid.
iii) Fill the prepared inner solution into reference electrode from the supply port.
iv) Leave the electrode for one day before use.
