A potentiometric procedure for the assay of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid)

Abstract

A potentiometric procedure for the assay of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid) with vanadium(V) at room temperature is described. The reduction of vanadium(V) to vanadium(IV) by isoniazid in an acidic medium is catalysed by osmium tetroxide, and the application of this method to the assay of isoniazid in pharmaceutical preparations is considered. Oxalic acid interferes in the determination, although commonly used excipients such as starch, dextrin, sucrose, glucose, lactose and gum acacia do not interfere.
