Abstract

Betahistine is histamine like drug that acts as both a partial histamine H1 receptor agonist and as a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. This research introduces design and construction of a PVC membrane sensor and nano-composite carbon paste electrode for fast and simple determination of Betahistine in pharmaceutical formulation. The best electrode performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 30% PVC, 63% NPOE, and 7% ion-pair and paste composition of 53% graphite, 30% paraffin oil, 15% ion-pair and 2% MWCNT. This electrode illustrated fast, stable and Nernstian response over a relatively wide concentration range of 1×10-5 to 1×10-2 mol L-1 for PVC membrane sensor and 1.0×10-6 to 5.0×10-1 mol L-1 for nano-composite carbon paste electrode. Validation of the method shows suitability of the sensors for application in quality control analysis of drug in pharmaceutical formulation. © 2015 The Authors.
