Acidic drug selective electrodes based on metal(II)-di-2-pyridyl ketone-acidic drugs ternary complex as electroactive material were prepared. The metal ions, <TEX>$Fe^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Co^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Ni^{2+}$</TEX>, <TEX>$Cu^{2+}$</TEX> were used. Nitrophenyl ether series were used as plasticizers. The electrodes exhibit a fast stable and linear response for <TEX>$5{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-3}mol/L$</TEX> mefenamic acid (MA) in borate buffer solution (pH 8.9) and ibuprofen(Ib) in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0). The recovery test for mefenamic acid and ibuprofen using standard addition method were 99.0% and 98.4% with relative standard deviation of 2.4% and 2.6% respectively.
