Introduction:

Development of a new enzymatic kinetic-photometric method for analysis of Dequalinium chloride, based on the use of enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine, for determine the amount of Dequalinium chloride in the vaginal tablets "Fluomizin" No 6.

Method:

The amount of Dequalinium chloride (DCh) was determined by the degree of inhibition of the enzymatic reaction, which was evaluated by the residual unreacted substrate - acetylcholine. Determination of the residual amount of acetylcholine in the reaction mixture was performed by a kinetic-photometric method using an indicator oxidation reaction of p-phenetidine with peracetic acid, which is formed during the auxiliary reaction of perhydrolysis with addition of excess hydrogen peroxide in the reaction mixture over a period of time.

Results:

Optimal conditions were determined: pH 8.35 was selected, influence of nature of buffer solution, concentration of acetylcholine (0.05 mg / ml), cholinesterase (0.4 mg / ml), hydrogen peroxide (10,0%) and p-phenethedine (1 %), the incubation time (10 min).

Conclusions:

The procedure for determination of Dequalinium chloride content in the vaginal tablets "Fluomizin" No 6 was developed. The kinetic parameters Km (Michaelis-Menten constant) and Vmax (maximal velocity) were determined.
