Abstract:
In present study, a successful attempt has been made to study the variation in electrochemical behavior of Ornidazole and Levofloxacin simultaneously using Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) technique. The effect of different pH (2-10) of Britton-Robinson Buffer on voltammogram using 1M KCl as a supporting electrolyte was studied. The optimum pH was found to be pH 7.0. Both Ornidazole and Levofloxacin exhibited reduction cathodic peak at optimum pH with peak potential at -0.46 V for Ornidazole and -1.27 V for Levofloxacin vs. S.C.E. 0.1N CH₃COOH was used as Solvent for the analysis. The variation in electrochemical behavior of Ornidazole and Levofloxacin simultaneously at the optimized pH was studied by varying pulse amplitude and scan rate. The optimized pulse amplitude was found to be 50mV and the optimized scan rate was found to be 20 mV/s.
