A new rapid, specific, and convenient colorimetric method for the determination of procaine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations is described. This method is based on measurement of the intensity of the orange-red color developed when procaine hydrochloride is allowed to react with 1,2-napht

โฆ Synopsis
A colorimetric assay procedure was developed for the quantitative analysis of procaine hydrochloride. The method is based on the interaction of procaine hydrochloride with p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde in the presence of trichloroacetic acid in absolute methanol to form a red Schiff base which can be quantitated spectrophotometrically a t 547.5 nm. The Beer-Lambert law was adhered to over the 0.1-7-pg/ml range. Best accuracy was attained for solutions containing 0.4-4 pg/ml. The color was stable for at least 70 min. The method was applied to pro-caine hydrochloride injections, both with and without epinephrine, without prior separation of the drug. The results were comparable to those obtained by the official procedures.
