Luminol-potassium permanganate chemiluminescence system for the determination of three anthracycline antibiotics

Objective To establish a flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of doxorubicin, epirubicin and mitoxantrone and study its reaction mechanism. Methods In alkaline medium, chemiluminescence of luminol-potassium permanganate system could be inhibited obviously by anthracycline antibiotics. Combined with flow-injection technique, a new chemiluminescence method for determining the anthracycline antibiotics was set up. The chemiluminescence mechanism of the luminol-potassium permanganate system was also discussed. Results Under optimal conditions, the good linear ranges of doxorubicin, epirubicin and mitoxantrone were 5.0×10-9-1.0×10-6g/mL, 1.0×10-9-1.0×10-5g/mL and 3×10-9-1.0×10-6g/mL, respectively. The detection limits of doxorubicin, epirubicin and mitoxantrone were 3.0×10-9g/mL, 5.0×10-8g/mL and 2.0×10-9g/mL, respectively. During eleven repeated inter-day and intra-day precision tests of 1.0×10-6g/mL samples, the relative standard deviations corresponded to reference values of 3.0%, 2.8% and 2.1%. Conclusion The developed method is sensitive, accurate, rapid and of low cost. It can be applied to determine doxorubicin hydrochloride, epirubicin hydrochloride and mitoxantrone hydrochloride in injection preparations.
