cefazolin

The method has been proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of antibiotics of the cephalosporin (cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefazolin) and penicillin (amoxicillin) groups using chemometric data processing (method of partial least squares, PLS). The absorption spectra of 24 binary mixtures of “cephalosporin – cephalosporin” and 16 binary mixtures of “cephalosporin – amoxicillin” with various concentrations in the range of 3–27 and 5–140 μg/ml have been recorded.

Cefazolin is a cephalosporin antibiotic of the third generation. It is widely used in medical practice for the therapy of various infectious-somatic pathologies. The work was aimed at the creation of solid-contact potentiometric cefazolin-selective sensors. For the first time, polyaniline was used to stabilize the potentials of solid-contact sensors. As the membranes active components, the compound of tetradecylammonium (TDA) with the silver (I) – cefazolin complex were applied.

The unmodified and modified by polyaniline and nanoparticles planar potentiometric sensors on the basis of tetradecylammonium associates with a complex silver (I) – cefazolin are created. Optimum ratios of components in carbon-containing ink are established: 30–32% carbon powder, 16–18% polyvinylchloride, 48–50% dibutylphthalate and 1–3% of electrode active compound (EAC). Planar sensors of two types are examined: electrode active compounds, electrode active compound and modifiers were added into in carbon-сontaining ink.
