The anodic polarographic behaviour of josamycin (a macrolide antibiotic) has been studied using direct current (DC(t)) polarography and differential pulse polarography (DPP). In Britton-Robinson buffers (BRb) josamycin exhibited well-defined anodic polarographic waves in the pH range 2-8. In BRb of pH 6, the diffusion-current constant was 1.62 microA mmol(-1) (n = 6). The current-concentration ...
