consideiable selectivity has been exercised and this review does not attempt to cover all of the many contributions. I n some instances the authois have used the anal! tical procedures reported in this ieviei~; in others. the comments are neccsssiily limited to theoietical discussions. Gieatei emphasis is placed on specific, accurate, and reliable analytical procedures for pharmaceutical analysis; piocedures nhich can be correlated to the biological activity of the drug. The proof of the stability of a pharmacential product is of utmost importance and the majority of the papers published ieflect this attitude on the part of pharmaceutical analysts. ALKALOIDS

Morphine and its derivatives and strychnine have been analyzed by paper chromatographic procedures (72, 451 , 467). i\lixt,ures of butanol-glacial acetic acid-water and butanol-formic acid are used as solvents; morphine is developed with ferric chloride-ferricyanide reagent, and strychnine with a modified Dragendorff reagent. A method of planimetric evaluation of the A developed spots was described. colorimetric method for the deterniina-

tion of morphine is based on reaction with nickel chloride (496). The reagent is added to the alkaloid solution after treatment with iodic acid (HIOB) and the addition of ammonium acid carbonate-ammonium chloride-ammonium hydroxide buffer. The absorption of the solution is measured a t 670 and 530 mp. The British Pharmacopoeia and G. S. Pharmacopoeia procedures for morphine in opium were criticized for the lack of complete extraction and simultaneous extraction of other alkaloids (532). The author claims that the method of Eder and Waeckerlin is satisfactory. Morphine sulfate can be separated from atropine sulfate by ion exchange chromatography using a t\vo-bed column of Amberlite I R 4 B and rlmberlite IRL4-410 (50). A method for isolation and purification of morphine froni poppy was reported (3). Yoshino and Sugihara (559) separated nicotine, strychnine, and brucine by ion exchange chromatography. The alkaloids are adsorbed by a m-eakly acidic exchange resin and then eluted fractionally with 0.1 to 1 M ammonium chloride. The separation of strychnine and brucine \vas incomplete. An oscillographic polarography technique for the identification of opium alkaloids has been described (156). A table of voltages at which the depressions occur in the polarography and the oscillographic polarograms for some of the compounds and mixtures are given. A niicrochemical differentiation of morphine and nalorphine (367) has been

outlined, using Marme’s cadmium iodide reagent, Kagner’s iodine reagent, pure hydriodic acid (HI), and picrolonic acid. The alkaloids niay:be separated by paper chromatography; RI values and diffraction data are also given. Micro quantities of strychnine are determined by a n ainperonletric method (346). The procedure is based on the observation that the height of the polarographic reduction wax-e of tungstosilicic acid is linearly reduced by the addition of strychnine. Strychnine, atropine, cocaine, and some other alkaloids we chromatographed as free bases by using as solvents aqueous solutions of ammonia, methylamine, and ethylamine (84). The R f values obtained with various concentrations of the amines named, using ascending and revolving-disk methods, are tabulated. The principal alkaloids of opium have been analyzed by a spectrophotometric method (136). Van Etten and associates (624, 625) determined morphine in Papaver somnijerum by adsorption on ion exchange resins and estimation by conventional procedures, such as the nitroso colorimetric method. ultrariolet absorption, and titration. Polarometric titrations of alkaloids with picric, picrolonic, styphnic, and flavianic acid and sodium alizarinsulfonate v-ere reported (566). Kone of the acids indicated gave satisfactory results with all alkaloids tested. A colorimetric method for the determination of papaverine is based on condensation with formaldehyde (47.2). The condensation 1 roduct is treated VOL. 29, NO. 4, APRIL 1957

with bromine water, ethyl alcohol, and then with aqueous ammonia solution. The blue-violet color is specific and is measured colorimetrically. Polarographic determination of papaverine, using tetramethylammonium hydroxide, is suitable for determination in mixtures with codeine ( 4 4 . Ultraviolet techniques for determination of papaverine. morphine, and ephedrine (504, and for the determination of mixtures of papaverine and codeine (505) have been described; a n infrared method for the estimation of papaverine was also reported (430). %. conductimetric titration of certain alkaloids with naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid in an acetonic solution was reported by Udovenko and Uvedenskaya (517). The method depends on the effect of acetone in increasing the differences between the ionization constants of the bases. A fluorometric technique for the determination of ergot alkaloids has been found (192, 193). -4 blue fluorescence is developed by treating the alkaloids with ethanolic ethane-sulfonic acid. Hydrogenated ergot alkaloids do not show fluorescence. The spectrophotometric differentiation of ergot alkaloids from luniilysergic acid has been described (379). Salts of ergot alkaloids can be titrated with perchloric acid in anhydrous acetic acid (191). To determine the acid component, the sample was dissolved in pyridine and the solution was titrated with potassium niethoxide. Systems for the paper chromatographic separation (297, 300, 380) and the microscopic examination of ergot alkaloids were reported (267). A spectrophotometric determination of heroin and quinine is based on the ultraviolet absorption a t 297.5 and 330 mp (385). At the former wave length, equimolar concentrations of the two alkaloids have almost the same absorption, while a t 330 nip the absorption is due entirely to quinine. Adrenaline and noradrenaline may be separated by paper chromatography (81). Using a circular horizontal technique and methanolic-aqueous tartaric acid solvent, R, values of 0.75 and 0.68, respectively, were obtained. Noradrenaline develops a green fluorescence when condensed with ethylenediamine (148). Stock and Hinson (481) made spectrophotometric studies of the iodate and persulfate oxidation of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Their data may be utilized for a n approximate assay. Another procedure for the analysis of solutions of epinephrine and norepinephrine (542) depends on conversion of the substances into the triacetyl derivatives which are extracted into chloroform and examined polarimetrically. Results show good agreement with U. S. Pharmacopoeia dog bioassay. B y supplementing the method with partition chromatography of the acetyla698 *

tion product, the norepinephrine may be isolated as its triacetyl derivative and determined colorimetrically after diacetylation and oxidation to noradrenochrome. Mixtures of nicotine, nornicotine, and total alkaloids have been analyzed by extraction of an alkaline tobacco mixture with benzene-chloroform and titration with perchloric acid-anhydrous acetic acid (111). The fact that secondary base-type alkaloids may be quantitatively acetylated provided a means of determining nornicotine-type alkaloids in the presence of nicotine. Three chromatographic methods for determining nicotine and alkaloids in tobacco nere reported (231,984). An improved separation is achieved by pretreatment of the paper with p H 5.6 acetate buffer. A turbidimetric determination of nicotine, based on T’alser’s reagent, is in close agreement with the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists’ (AOAC) procedure (401). The nicotine is precipitated with potassium mercuric iodide and measuied turbidimetrically by coniparison with standards; nornicotine does not interfere. Scott and associates (455) have reported a convenient physical method for the determination of hyoscine in Benadryl-hyoscine tablets. The tablets are extracted with ethyl alcohol, evaporated to dryness, and taken u p in dimethylacetamide for measurement of the infrared absorption. Benadryl hydrochloride does not interfere because of limited solubility. A colorimetric procedure for atropine based on a modification of the VitaliRIorin reaction was investigated (169). The alkaloid \vas nitrated with fuming nitric acid, dissolved in dimethylformamide, and treated with tetraethylammonium hydroxide. The absorption of the solution was determined a t 540 mp. The method is not specific and is also applicable to phenylacetic acid, benzylpenicillin, benzathine penicillin, and chloramphenicol. Rosenblum and Taylor (416) have criticized the U. S. Pharmacopoeia and British Pharmacopoeia identity tests for apoatropine and belladonnine in atropine-on the grounds that the tests are sensitive for belladonnine but allow the presence of appreciable amounts of apoatropine. The authors propose a potassium permanganate test which is sensitive for apoatropine but does not react with belladonnine. Reichelt (391) impregnated paper with formamide and a solvent of chloroform or benzenechloroform to separate the belladonna alkaloids. The alkaloids are eluted from the paper with ethyl alcohol, acetic acid, and water and determined colorimetrically by the Vilde reaction. Mass analysis technique has been applied (378) to the analysis of strychnine, brucine, atropine, and hyoscyamine.

A scheme to identify atropine or scopolamine as well as the opium alkaloids in injectables has been reported by Sakurai and Chiba (498). Chromatographic techniques for protoveratrine were reported (184, 286). I n the former technique, protoveratrine A and B are separated by paper partition chromatography, eluted, and determined colorimetrically by a conventional method. The latter procedure is based on passage of the sample in chloroform over a Celite column containing buffered chlorophenol red as the immobile phase. A quantity of dye equivalent to the concentration of the alkaloid is removed. A reflectometric method for nieasuring density values of paper chromatograms of alkaloids was proposed by Thies and Reuther (503). The bismuth sodium iodide reagent, which gives a red color with alkaloids, was used. The same authors (509) improved the solvent mixtures for the separation of alkaloids by paper chromatography by the addition of an ester. They note that esterification of solvent mixtures can be largely prevented by adding the corresponding ester to the solvent mixture. The National Formulary procedure for Xux Vomica tincture has been shortened (454). Preliminary isolation of strychnine and brucine is by adsorption on aluminum oxide (A1203), followed by elution with i O % alcohol. The eluate is subjected to ion exchange and subsequent elution with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid in alcohol. Strychnine and brucine are determined a t 255 and 264 mp, respectively. Head and associates (907) have demonstrated that ultrasonic extraction and maceration of cinchona succirubra followed by Soxhlet extraction are more efficient than Soxhlet extraction alone. A new procedure was described for the assay of cinchona which is based on the precipitation of the majority of the nonalkaloidal emulsifying substances by the addition of calcium peroxide (CaOz) (307). A note on the determination of codeine in aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine, and codeine tablets recommends a modification: The codeine is extracted with chloroform from a basic solution and titrated with perchloric acid in dioxane to a colorless end point using chlorophenol red indicator (370). Caffeine can be titrated with 0.lN perchloric acid-acetic acid ( 7 ) . A recent approach to the assay of alkaloidal crude drugs was described by Brochmann-Hanssen (68, 69). The alkaloids are extracted and separated by means of ion exchange resins and determined by spectrophotometric procedures. A microchemical identification technique for alkaloids was reported (99). The crystals obtained from 30 different alkaloids, using various reagents, were tabulated. Modi-

Veratrum alkaloids have been Three methods for the determination separated by paper chromatography of reserpine and the physical properties

of reserpine have been discussed (801). The first method is based on ultraviolet absorption a t 268 and 295 mF after removal of reserpic acid and trimethoxybenzoic acid by evtraction with 0.01M hydrochloric acid and sodium acid carbonate solution, respectively. The second method is a colorimetric method based on heating reserpine with strong organic acids; the absorption is measured a t 380 mp. I n the third method, the fluorescence which developed on heating reserpine n i t h a strongly acid solution forms the basis for the determination. d colorimetric technique for the assay of reserpine in pharmaceutical products is based on the formation of a chloroform-soluble complex with bromophenol blue (60). The extinetion is measured a t 402 mp against chloroform as a blank. Quaternary ammonium conipounds, some antihistamines, and other organic bases interfere. I n the same journal, Banes has proposed another colorimetric method for the determination of reserpine using a conventional reagent. vanillin (22). The alkaloid may be hydrolyzed and the resulting reserpic acid and triniethoxybenzoic acid may he determined by means of the vanillin reagent and ultraA violet absorbance, respectively. color reaction for reqerpine haqed on the reaction n i t h p-dimethylamino benzaldehyde in ethyl alcohol containing sulfuric acid was described (114). A report on the crystallography of reserpine and reserpic alcohol hydrate (410) ; ajmalicine, ajmalicinc hydrate, and py-tetrahydroserpentinol (411 ) ; and yohimbine (412) have been reported by Rose, and Bose reports some chemical and physical properties of serpinine (62). The chemistry of ll-desniethoxyreserpine has been described by Harrisson and coworkers (201). The physical properties and structure of raunescine and isorauncqcine TI ere reported (222). Earl, Kinters. and Schneider reported an unusual biotechnique for the determination of Serpasil based on emesis in pigeons (IS?'). l n ultraviolet spectrophotometric procedure for the assay of reserpine has been described ( 6 2 7 ) . A colorimetric procedure for the determination of tryptophan i q based on the characteristic red color produced 7% hen tryptophan is layered on a solution of ceric sulfate [Ce(SO,),] in sulfuric acid (8); another quantitative colorimetric technique for tryptophan is baqed on Eckert's reaction (477). AMINO ACIDS, AMINES, AND RELATED COMPOUNDS

Paper chromatographic techniques for the separation of amino acids have received added emphasis. Underwood and Rockland (520) obtained the most satisfactory separations with tert-butyl VOL. 2 9 , NO. 4 , APRIL 1957

699

alcohol-water-formic acid and phenol -water-ammonia. A technique using ninhydrin-copper complex as the color reagent 11-as reported (67) and another using conventional ninhydrin reagent was described (568). The quantitative determination of amino acids by circular paper chromatography has been used (272). These authors separated 16 amino acids on a series of chromatograms by using different solvent mixtures and ninhydrin as a color reagent. Rf values of amino acids, using different one-phase solvent mixtures, have been determined (200). Oreskes and Saifer (352) employed a circular chromatographic technique using phenol and butanol-acetic acid as solvents with isatin and ninhydrin as color reagents for the determination of amino acids in protein hydrolyzates. The chromatography of a-keto acids and their hydrogenation products x i s reported (317 ) . Clayton (101) has investigated the relationship between chamber size and Rf yalues of amino acids. The author uses a new term, “critical volume,” which defines the volume of solvent necessary to saturate a specific chamber. The most reproducible chromatograms are obtained when small chambers are used because the amount of solvent generally exceeds the critical volume of the chamber. An extraction procedure for amino compounds in biological materials involves the combined use of adsorption and dialysis (226). Kalant applied a photometric ninhydrin reaction to the measurement of amino nitrogen in plasma (246). Neutral equivalents of amino acids and peptides can be determined in alcohol or aqueous alcohol by titration with alcoholic potassium hydroxide and proper indicators (149). Two-dimensional paper electrophoresis has been employed in the separation of amino acids (316). The infrared spectra of 3-phenyl-2-thiohydantoins of amino acids and their application to the identification of IT-terminal groups in peptides was reported (387). d colorimetric method for the determination of arginine is based on the reaction with sodium hypobromide, 1-naphthol, and urethane (268). The oscillopolarographic detection of amino acids has been described by Pechan and coworkers (366). If care is taken, the method may also be applied quantitatively to very small amounts of substance. A color method for the detection and determination of amino acids has been developed; 1,2-diacetylbenzene, 1,2dipropionylbenzene, and l-acetyl-2propionylbenzene react under appropriate conditions mith amino acids, producing dyes (398). A modified ultraviolet spectrophotometric microtechnique for the determination of amino acids and peptides as copper complexes has been described by 7M)

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Cherkin and associates (92). Amino acids have been separated by circular paper chromatography and identified by spot testing on paper using conventional reagents-Le., alloxan, isatin, and ninhydrin (425). Schweet has described a colorimetric procedure based on reaction with hydroxamic acid and ferric chloride (452). The adsorption is measured a t 520 mp after 5 to 20 minutes. Amino acids, after oxidation with periodate, are detected on chrom:btograms with benzidine and starch-iodide reagent (97). An electrophotometric method for determination of amino acids by paper chromatography is based on the measurement of the size of the spots and their color intensity (96). The value obtained from the determination of one amino acid can be used for the determination of any other amino acid, by simply multiplying by a molecular weight factor. Amino acids have been separated and determined by “test tube paper chromatography” (282). Mixtures of phenol and water and ternary mixtures of tert-butyl alcoholmethanol-water are used as solvents. Test tube chromatography can be used a t higher temperatures and gives better and faster separating effects. Good results are claimed for paper chromato- ‘ graphic determination of glycine, tryptophan, and glutamic acid in medicaments using phenoI n i t h aqueous ammonia as solvent, ninhydrin in butanol as developer, and heating a t 80” to 90” for 5 minutes (529). A specific spectrophotometric method is used for the determination of proline in protein hydrolyzates, urine, and plasma. Interfering basic amino acids are removed by shaking with Permutit; hydroxyproline does not give the color reaction (510). Ninhydrin is added to an acetic acid solution of proline and heated, and the extinction of the benzene extract of the color complex is measured a t 515 mp. The principal factors influencing the colorimetric determination of hydroxyproline by reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde were studied by Meyada and Tappel (320). A convenient assay method has been developed which depends on the combination of histamine and histidine with carbon disulfide and the polarographic behavior of the reaction products (662). By paper ionophoresis, histamine and histidine are separated with a barbital buffer solution a t pH 8.6. The eluate of each deposit was determined polarimetrically. Histamine has been isolated by paper chromatography using a solvent mixture of butanol-acetic acid-water or isobutyl alcohol saturated with aqueous ammonia (449). The paper was then dried and sprayed with p H 11 buffer and diazotized sulfanilic acid. The reddish spots of histidine and histamine can be eluted and

quantitatively evaluated. A method for the determination of micro amounts of histamine has been rendered more sensitive by coupling with diazotized sulfanilic acid a t pH 9.8 and a t O’C., ethyl alcohol being added to stabilize the color (442). A sensitive paper reaction of ninhydrin with hydroxyproline and proline was outlined (100). A polarographic determination of histidine and di-dinitrophenyl histidine mas reported (543). Another paper chromatographic procedure for histamine, using butanol-acetic acid and diazotized sulfanilic acid, was described (166). Schayer and associates reported on the use of radioactive iodine for the determination of histamine (436). Paper electrophoresis has been employed in the separation and determination of amino acids (446). Identification and measurement of the compounds were accomplished by staining with ninhydrin and taking photometric measurement of the spots. Another ninhydrin procedure was described for the estimation of glutamic acid on buffered paper (260). A modification of the Knoop reaction forms the basis for the analysis of histidine (226). The method takes into account the effects caused by the concentration of bromine during bromination and the temperature a t which the color is developed. A micromethod for the determination of tryptophan is based on the fluorescent intensity of substances formed by reaction with glucose a t a controlled p H and temperature (344). Tryptophan is separated from other amino acids on a resin column of Dowex-50. Conditions n-hich enhance the solubility of cystine and tyrosine in chromatographic solvents and result in adequate separation were outlined (484). The determination of amino acids in plant proteins using Sanger’s l-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene method was reported (126). The amino acids thus obtained were identified by paper chromatography in citrate buffer and in 2-butanol-butyl acetate-hydrochloric acid. Hippuric acid, a-amino, Pamino, and -V-acetylamino hippuric acid have been separated by paper chromatography and determined colorimetrically with p-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde in acetic anhydride (195). Ornithin has been isolated and determined from gelatin hydrolyzate by chromatographing on Dowex-50 (198). A specific and sensitive method for the determination of microgram quantities of uracil and thymine (171) depends on treatment of pyrimidines with labelled p-iodobenzenesulfonyl chloride in acetone, a t room temperature, buffered a t pH 8.5 to 9.0 with tetramethylammonium bicarbonate. A colorimetric procedure for the determination of 2-hydroxy-4, 6-dimethylpyrimidine is based on reaction with sul-

fanilic acid and sodium nitrite in a n alcoholic sulfuric acid solution (489). The absorbance is measured at 540 inp. A specific test for antipyrine and 1-naphthylamine is based on condensation of nitrosoantipyrine in a n acetic acid solution with 1-naphthylamine hydrochloride (158). Satisfactory re-ults n r r e obtained in the assay of antipyrine and its salts (314). The compound n a s treated with nitrite in acid solution to obtain 4-nitroantipyrine. n hich \vas submitted to polarography. Sitrofurorone in feeds has heen deterniincd by treatment of a dioxane solution with alcoholic sodium hydroxide (506).

Mononitro compounds produce orange. red, or purple colors in dimethylformide upon the addition of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (384).
