The voltammetric characteristics of terbutaline
have, to the best of our knowledge, not been
reported previously. Owing to the presence of
several electrochemically oxidizable groups in its
molecular structure, confirmed by HPLC with
electrochemical detector, it was decided to investi-
gate voltammetric behavior of terbutaline at a
glassy carbon electrode, which is in common use
as a working electrode because of its low residual
current in aqueous media. Further studies of this
compound included the development of a simple
and precise method for its determination in
tablets.
