Introduction Arterial high blood pressure is one of the ailment with main diffusion in the world being caused by still unknown agents; some hazard agents partake of the developed of this pathology [1], like age, family history, sedentariness, obesity, stress, high salt intake and alcoholism. The first medication controlled to be used for arterial high blood pressure medication was captopril (CPL); 1-[(2S)-3-mercapto-2-methylpropionyl] Pyrrolidine –2 - Carboxylic acid (figure 1), that refers to the group of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) preventers [2,3]. This medication interplays with(ACE) because of it,s affinity with a dipeptide and the sulphydryl class plays a serious part, linkage covalently to the (Zn) atom in the enzyme plus situation. The medication is largely utilized major for arterial high blood pressure medication; but as well as in chronic congestive heart inability coming after myocardial infringement and in diabetic nephropathy [4-6].                                                                                     Almost 60-75 percentage of a dosage of captopril is sucked up from the gastro-intestinal tract and pinnacle plasma concentration is in approximate 1h, while almost 30 percentage of the medication is going to plasma protein [7]. In order that assert the quality of CPL including pharmaceutical formulations, ease procedures for its analysis in technical and preparation grade sample are important for routine assay, including atomic absorption spectrometry [8,9] differential pulse polarography [10] high performance liquid chromatography [11-15] volumetric titration [16] voltammetry [17] capillary electrophoresis [18] conductometry [19] gas chromatography [20] chemiluminescence systems [21-24] diffuse reflectance spectroscopy [25] potentiometric titration [26-28] spectrophotometry [29-40] fluorimetry [41] amperometry [42-44] flow injection analysis [23,24,28,45-47] are suitable for use in daily assay in dosage forms specifity control laboratories because to the easiness, high repeatability and reproducibility with high sampling per hour, high analytical frequency and the result in diminishing reagents exhausting when compared with batch methods [28,30] . The united states Pharmacopeia [16] (USP) depictes a titrimetric method for (CPL.) estimation in dosage forms , but this method is so slow and laborious, therefore lower applied to wide-range assay and low sensitive method. In this paper, we presented a new flow injection analysis /merging zones technique for indirect estimation of CPL. in fine material and dosage forms using ferric chloride as an oxidizing agent, where ferric ion will be reduced to ferrous ion by thiol drugs (CPL.), the produced Fe(II) forms an orange-red colored product with 1,10-phenanthroline which is determined spectrophotometrically. 2.

Results and Discussion Batch spectrophotometric determination of captopril Throughout the preliminary experiments on the reaction of captopril with FeCl3 (1x10- 3M) as oxidizing agent, then Fe(II) was react with the reagent 1,10-phenanthroline (2x10-3M) in acetic acid (0.3M) . The reaction occurs in 25oC, the orange-red colored product was composed and measured at a maximum absorbance of 511 nm opposition reagent blank and reagent blank opposition distilled water. Experiments were oriented for ideal of the experimental parameters in order to assemble the ideal parameters for quantitative and fast composition of the colored product with highest sensitivity and stability optimization of the experiential conditions. In subsequent experiments, 50 mg.L-1 of captopril was used as shown in figure (2) .  The impact of the 1,10-phenanthroline concentration was investigated on the resulting absorbance of the orange-red complex. Variable concentrations of 1,10-phenanthroline reagent were used for the experiment. The absorbance increase with increasing1,10- phenanthroline concentration then absorbance begins decreasing with the increased concentration. A 2X10-3M of 1,10-phenanthroline concentration that gave the highest absorbance and selected to be optimum concentration of reagent for the composition of orange-red complex. The effect of 1,10-phenanthroline concentration is as shown in figure (3).   Effect of FeCl3 concentration The impact of FeCl3 concentration was studied on composition of colored product, it has been observed that the absorbance increase with the increase of FeCl3 concentration but a high concentration of FeCl3, the absorbance decreased therefore 1x10-3 is chosen to be ideal concentration of oxidizing agent for the drug to form the colored complex, as shown in figure (4) .

Variable concentrations of acetic acid were used for the experiment. A 0.3M of acetic acid was selected to be ideal concentration for the formation of colored product. as shown in figure (5).   Effect of order addition NC-Cu(II)-Buffer-CPL is the ideal series of addition, other orders gave less absorbance results at the same experimental conditions as shown in table (1). Calibration curve of classical method Transfer a series of volumetric flask 50mL containing 4 mL of acetic acid 0.3M and added 10 mL of distilled water. Then added increasing concentrations (0.125-22.5 mL) standard solutions of captopril (100 mg. L-1) . The solutions were diluting to be marked with distilled water. Then the reaction mixture stands for 25min and measures the absorbance of the colored product under maximum wave length 511 nm versus a reagent blank prepared in the same way without captopril. Each measurement was repeated three times. The standard curve was constructed and linear range (1-45) mg. L-1 for the estimation of captopril as shown in figure (6). Accuracy and Precision At the ideal conditions described in the established method , accuracy and precision was studied through measuring three different concentrations of captopril , and according to the results that have been reached as shown in table (2) indicate that the classical method have a good with high accuracy and precision , each measurement are repeated for five times . Calculated stability constant [48] for the proposed interaction (CPL.:1,10-phenanthroline ) was calculated depending on the two groups of solutions were prepared , first group of solutions were placed to include stoichiometric lot of captopril to the reagent 1,10- phenanthroline (As) , while the second group were placed to include fivefold excess of 1,10- phenanthroline (Am) as shown in table (3) . The stability constant may be written as follows: K=1-/43C2 While α (degree of dissociation) written as follows: =Am-As / Am Stiocheoimetry of the formed product To identify the ratio of complexation of captopril to 1,10-Phenanthroline in the formed product, the continuous variation (Job's method) methods were applied on the formed complex. The job's method was carried out by transfer 4 mL of acetic acid (0.3M) in to a set of 25 mL volumetric flask, after that added 10 mL of distilled water, after that added an increasing volumes (0.1-0.9 mL) of captopril (139.36mg.L-1) (2x10 -3M ) , then added 6 mL of FeCl3 1x10-3M, after that added a decreasing volumes (0.9-0.1mL) of 2x10-3M 1,10- Phenanthroline 3M and conclude the volume to the marked with distilled water. After 25min, the maximum absorption was quantified under λmax 511 nm versus the reagent blank. The result obtained were plotted as shown in figure (7) and indicating the existence of 1:2, (CPL.: 1,10-Phenanthroline) .

Flow injection / merging zones spectrophotometric determination After selecting the optimum conditions of redox reaction of captopril with Fe(III) – 1,10-phenanthroline in acetic acid for the classical spectrophotometric method. The spectrophotometric reaction was automated with flow injection-merging zones technique to study the best practical parameters and to obtain spectral automated with fast way for determination of captopril. So the batch procedure for estimation of captopril was employed as a base to develop flow injection analysis method. The manifold of flow injection system After installing the system and linked portions, we study optimal design of system. The developed system shown in Figure (8) is composed of one line supplied the distilled water (carrier) under flow rate 0.8 mL/min leading to the injection valve , which contains three loops (different loop lengths with 0.5mm I.D.) that filled with the sample and reagents according to the order (captopril with acetic acid, L1) ,( FeCl3 , L2) and (1,10-phenanthroline , L3) . Optimization of experimental parameters The flow injection manifold as shown in figure (8) a, b was employed for the ideal of chemical and physical parameters to get the ideal variables for the order. All the parameters were investigated by making all factors stable and change one each at time (single varied optimization) Effect of chemical variables The influence of 1,10-phenanthroline, acetic acid and FeCl3 concentration on the analytical signal were studied to obtain ideal chemical conditions depicted, peak height expressed as mV. was differ in absorbance (extreme height of peak with the best baseline). Effect of acetic acid concentration The impact of acetic acid concentration on the sensitivity was observed using optimum concentration of 1,10-phenanthroline 1.5x10-3 M. Series of diluted solution of acetic acid concentration (0.1M - 0.5M) was prepared, 56.91μL sample volume (50mg.L-1CPL.) FeCl3 was 1x10-3 M as reaction medium was used and the data obtained were plotted as shown in figure (9) . 0.2M of acetic acid was chosen as the best value to complete the reaction.

L-1 captopril as injected sample volume. All measurements were repeated for three successive times. Table (4) and figure (10) shows that 1.5x10-3M of 1,10-phenanthroline,1x10-3 M of FeCl3 and 0.2M of acetic acid was selected as the optimum concentration. Effect of FeCl3 concentration Various concentrations (1x10-4- 1x10-2M) of FeCl3 were examined on the analytical signal. The oxidizing power of FeCl3 for thiol drug in a solution containing 1,10-phenanthroline is dependent on the ease of formation of [Fe(C12H8N2)3]+2 (referred in batch procedure) . The values show that the best concentration of FeCl3 was 8x10-3M. Therefore, the ideal FeCl3 concentration was selected to be 8x10-3M as shown in figure (11). Manifold variables The effect of variables like injected volume of sample, reagent volume, flow rate, purge time and reaction coil length on the analytical response was observed. The peak height based on the stay time of the sample in the order which was conducted with lengths for reaction coil and flow rate. The physical variables were investigated at the ideal concentration of the reactants, 1,10-phenanthroline (1.5x10-3M), acetic acid (0.2M), Fecl3 (8x10-3M) and primary concentration of captopril (50 mg. L-1). Effect of flow rate The influence of the flow rate was observed at the ideal chemical parameters. These values obtained show that the optimum flow rate of pump of sample with least dispersion will be in 0.8 mL.min-1. In the lower flow rate, a dispersion will be the highest level while under more flow rate, the reaction may be not complete as shown in figure (12) and table (5). Effect of sample and reagents volumes The injected volume of sample and reagents were investigated by using various sample and reagents volumes. (56.91, 51.02, 49.06, 43.175 and 39.25) μL, using open valve mode .The values obtained show which injected volumes of 56.91 , 51.02 and 49.06 μL for sample volume (50 mg.L-1 captopril) with acetic acid (0.2M) in L1 , 8x10-3M of FeCl3 in L2 and 1.5x10-3M of 1,10-phenanthroline in L3 respectively were optimum volumes that gave the maximum response as shown in figure (13) (a , b , c). Purge Time Purge time for the sample segment to be injected via a carrier stream (distilled water) was investigated, using the optimum chemical and physical parameters were studied previously, (40,45,50,55,60) sec and open valve (injected mode) were used for this study. The purge time more than 60 sec giving a highest response intensity with less dispersion, we calculated by the period time between the sample that injected and inception of the end of the signal. Open valve was selected as ideal injection time to conclude transportation of sample from sample loop to flow cell, as shown in figure (14) and table (6). The reaction period of each sample was 70 secs, so the sample throughput was 51 sample / h.

This ideal concentration using for redox reaction of captopril (50mg.L-1) in acetic acid 0.2M with FeCl3 8x10-3M and 1,10-phenanthrolin 1.5x10-3M on the reaction of captopril was examined. It was found that the peak height was decreased with the reaction coil length up to 50 cm as shown in figure (15). A sharp decline in the peak height was observed above this value because of the dispersion phenomena. Therefore, a 50 cm presented the highest peak height and using in all subsequent experiments. Calibration Graph Data processing using the equation of a straight line A set of captopril solutions (3-200 mg.L-1) was prepared by a suitable dilution of stock solution. All chemical and physical parameters were fixed at their optimum values .Each measurement was recurrent three times, the response which represented as peak height (mV.) plotted against the concentrations of captopril (mg.L-1) .The results obtained were summarized in table (7) and displayed in figure (16) that offers the contrast of response with concentration of captopril . Data were processed mathematically [49,50] and will clarify the method was used to calculate the linear equation of the class (y = bx + a). Repeatability To investigate the efficiency of the suggested procedure in the estimation of captopril by repeating injection process and measurement for multiple times using two concentrations of captopril (60,130) mg.L-1and calculated standard deviation and relative standard deviation for both concentrations that were studied, as shown in table (8) . Analysis of variation (ANOVA)[51,52] for the linear equation Calculate the sum of the squares of the different values yi (response) from ŷi (appraiser response), (imply error) and called (about regression) to obtain Ʃ (yi - ŷi )2 for( n-2) of degrees of freedom to get the sum of squares (S0)2 . Calculate the sum of squares of different values ŷi from average value ӯ ( due to regression ) to obtain Ʃ(ŷi - ӯ)2 and for (1) of degrees of freedom to obtain sum of squares (S1)2 , when dividing the (S1)2 on (S0)2 we get the value (F) as shown in Table (9) . Analytical parameters The analytical characteristics such as linear range, detection limit, correlation coefficient and relative standard deviation of each procedure were determined [50,51] under the optimized conditions, as shown in table (10) . A calibration graph was constructed figure (16) for a set of captopril standard solution and the main analytical figure of merits of the proposed method. Statistical assessment of regression line offered a result of standard deviation for residuals (Sy/x ) , slope (Sb) and intercept (Sa) under 95% confidence levels for (n-2) freedom degrees were clarificated in the table . The small subjects showed the high repeatability reproducibility of the proposed flow injection analysis compared with the batch method. The flow injection analysis / merging zones was easier than first procedure because IHSCICONF 2017 Special Issue Ibn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied science For more information about the Conference please visit the websites: http://www.ihsciconf.org/conf/    www.ihsciconf.org   Chemistry |302   that was rapid (sample throughput of 51 sample.h -1) , larger straight line scale of calibration curve were gotten . Pharmaceutical Applications The suggested methods were carried out to the assay of some pharmaceutical formulations containing captopril. The standard addition method was applied by preparing a series of solution from each pharmaceutical drug by transferring 2 ml of 500 mg.L-1 of pharmaceutical drug to each of the seven standard flask (25 mL) , followed by the addition of (0.0 , 0.83 , 1.66 , 2.50 , 3.33 , 4.16 and 5.00) ml from 150 mg.L-1 of captopril solution in order to have the concentration range from (5-30 μg.mL-1) . Six types of pharmaceutical formulations were analyzed and results were mathematically treated. These presented gave a good accuracy and replicable as shown in table (11). Assessment of developed procedure To assesst the success and efficiency of the proposed procedure, the values obtained by the CFIA technique were compared with those gottent by standard procedure [41]. Pharmaceutical preparations were assayed by standard procedure, the values that got by both methods were statistically compared, using variance ratio F-test and the student t – test at confidence limit 95% in each states [48,49] . The computed F- and t- results did not extend the theoretical results which showed that there was not considered variations between both of the procedures in accuracy and precision for estimation of captopril in dosage forms. The values were shown in table (12). 4. Conclusion The proposed homemade CFIA /merging zones analytical procedure are fast, cheap and sensitive for the spectrophotometric of (CPL.) in fine form and pharmaceutics formulation. These methods can be used for the estimation of mg.L-1 amount of CPL. without the need for previous separation steps, temperature or pretreatment of sample and solid phase extraction. The main benefits of the methods are its large dynamic range, adequate sensitivity and its suitable for applying in daily assay in pharmaceutics specifity control laboratories because of their facility and their result in diminishing reagents consumption when compared with batch methods [42] and low limit of detection compared with the referenced method (USP) [16].
