Abstract
A new method for determining the binary mixtures of procaine penicillin G and benzathine penicillin G using “zero-crossing” second derivative spectrophotometry is described. Calibration graphs were linear up to 8.80 10−5 M for procaine penicillin G and 4.40 10−5 M for benzathine penicillin G. The method was realized in ethanol/water medium (30 % v/v). A complete and exhaustive statistical analysis of the experimental data was realized to demonstrate the validity of method. The method was applied for determining procaine penicillin G and benzathine penicillin G synthetic mixtures with good results. The procedure does not require any separation step.
