A sensitive and accurate method for quantitative determination of dopamine was introduced. The proposed method is based on\ninhibitory effect of dopamine on the oxidation of thionine by bromate in acidic media. The change in absorbance was followed\nspectrophotometrically at 601 nm. The dependence of sensitivity on the reaction variables was investigated and optimized to obtain\nthe maximum sensitivity. Under optimum experimental conditions, calibration curve was linear over the range 0.2ââ?¬â??103.3 ?gmL?1\nof dopamine.The relative standard deviations (n = 6) of 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 30.0 ?gmL?1 of dopamine were 1.13, 1.02, 0.99, and 0.97%,\nrespectively.The limit of detection was 0.057 ????gmL?1 of dopamine.The effect of diverse species was also investigated.Thedeveloped\nmethod was successfully applied for the determination of dopamine in pharmaceutical and biological samples.
