Photodegradation Kinetics of Sodium Ceftiofur in Aqueous Solution Determined by LC Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stability of the broad-spectrum antibiotic ceftiofur was studied in order to investigate the kinetics of photodegradation of this drug, using a stability-indicating liquid chromatography (LC) method. The degradation was carried out in aqueous solutions, prepared from reference substance and two pharmaceutical products (Excenel and Topcef) containing sodium ceftiofur powder for injection, in quartz cells under UVC ( 254 nm) and UVA light (352 nm). The kinetics parameters of reaction order and the rate constants of the degradation were determined for both products. The degradation process of sodium ceftiofur in solution can be described by first-order kinetics under the experimental conditions used in this study. The obtained results show that the LC method is satisfactory in the determination of the kinetics of degradation of sodium ceftiofur in the presence of its photolytic degradation products. The present study reveals the photolability of the drug. Thus, appropriate light protection is recommended during the storage and handling of products containing sodium ceftiofur.

Photodegradation of herbicide 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) in aqueous solution was investigated by stationary (254 nm) and nanosecond laser (266 nm) flash photolysis techniques. It was shown that in the primary photochemical step both photoionization (which generates a hydrated electron-radical cation pair) and heterolytic cleavage of a C-Cl bond takes place. The major products o...
