Based on the fact that venlafaxine had remarkable enhancing effect on Ag(Ⅲ) complex-luminol chemiluminescence(CL) system,a novel method for the determination of venlafaxine was established by CL method with flow-injection analysis.Under the optimum conditions,the calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.1-2.0 mg?L-1 with detection limit(S/N=3) of 0.05 mg?L-1.The relative standard deviation(n=11) for 0.1 mg?L-1 venlafaxine was 0.87%,and the recovery ranged from 96% to 105%.This method was simple,sensitive and accurate,and was successfully applied in the determination of venlafaxine in capsules.
