Spectrophotometric and Spectrofluorimetric Methods for the Determination of Dothiepin Hydrochloride in its Pure and Dosage Forms using Eosin
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Science (IJBS) - Year 2010, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for the determination of dothiepin hydrochloride (DOP) in different dosage forms. The spectrophotometric method (Method I) is based on formation of a binary complex with eosin at 540 nm in acetate buffer of pH3.7. The absorbance-concentration plot is rectilinear over the range 1-10 μg/mL with LOD of 0.18 μg/mL and LOQ of 0.54 μg/mL. The spectroflurimetric method (Method II) is based on the quantitative quenching effect of Dothiepin on the native fluorescence of eosin at the same pH. The quenching of the fluorescence of eosin was measured at 543 nm after excitation at 304 nm. The fluorescence-concentration plot is rectilinear over the range 0.3-8 μg/ mL with LOD of 0.11 μg/mL and LOQ of 0.34 μg/mL. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tablets and capsules containing the drug. Statistical comparison of the results with those of the reference method revealed good agreement and proved that there were no significant differences in the accuracy and precision between the two methods respectively.
