Blazheyevskiy, M., Moroz, V. (2020). Iodometric determination of cystamine dihydrochloride in tablets using diperoxyadipic acid. French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry, 8(1), 19–27. https://doi.org/10.17721/fujcV8I1P19-27

The kinetics of cystamine dihydrochloride oxidation by diperoxyadipic acid (DPAA) was studied in aqueous buffer solutions of pH 2.9, 6.9, 8.0, 8.5 and 9.2 under second-order conditions at the temperature 293 K. The second order rate constants, k (L mol−1 min−1) were calculated from kinetic values. A suitable mechanism scheme based on these observations was proposed. The possibility of application of DPAA as reagent for oxidimetric determination of cystamine dihydrochloride in tabtets was investigated. Cystamine dihydrochloride was determined by indirect titration with DPAA. The required amount of Cystamine dihydrochloride was dissolved in water, pH 8.0 buffer solution and DPAA solution was added. After 7 min, the solution was acidified. The excess DPAA was determined via iodometric titration. The advantages of the applied analytical techniques in the determination of cystamine dihydrochloride in tablets «Cystamine 0.2 g» was presented. The recovery of сystamine dihydrochloride was 99.32±1.45%. A paired t-test showed that all results obtained for bulk drug and in tablets «Cystamine 0.2 g», using the proposed procedure and the official procedure respectively, agreed at the 95% confidence level.
