Abstract:
OBJECTIVE to determine the content of dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets based on quantitative proton nuclear magnetic resonance(qHNMR).
METHODS Proton signal peaks at
δ 7.05-7.15 ppm of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and
δ 5.38 ppm of benzyl benzoate were served as quantitative peaks and internal standard peaks, respectively. The spectra of the mixture were collected at 300 K with 4.01 s acquisition time, 10 s relaxation delay and 32 scanning times. The results of qHNMR and HPLC were also been compared.
RESULTS The speciality of qHNMR was very high. There was a linear relationship for dextromethorphan hydrobromide in the range of 5.88-23.08 mg·mL
-1. The recoveries were in the range of 98.4%-99.7%. The limit of quantitation was 0.45 mg·mL
-1 and the limit of detection was 0.10 mg·mL
-1. The content determination results of qHNMR were generally consistent with those of HPLC.
CONCLUSION The qHNMR can be used for the quantitative determination of dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets.
