Anodic voltammetry of fluphenazine at different solid electrodes.

The electrochemical behaviour of fluphenazine based on its oxidation at platinum and glassy carbon electrodes was investigated by linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry. The influence of pH, concentration, nature of the buffer and scan rate was carefully examined. At both electrodes, three anodic steps (representing an irreversible oxidation) were obtained. The method was applied to the determination of fluphenazine in sugar-coated tablets.
