Abstract: | Three simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric methods for the assay of cefadroxil have been developed. MethodA ( max 410 nm) is based on the reaction of cefadroxil with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride in the presence of eeric ammonium sulphate. MethodB ( max, 510 nm) involves the reaction with 4-aminophenazone in the presence of potassium hexacyanoferrate(III). MethodC ( max, 620 nm) involves reaction with 2, 6-dichloroquinone-4-chlorimide (Gibb's reagent). All variables have been optimised and the reaction mechanisms presented. Regression analysis of the Beer's plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 1.0–6.0, 2.0–24.0 and 1.0–6.0 g/ml for methodsA, B andC, respectively. No interferences were observed from excipients and the validity of the methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms. Recoveries were 98.0–100.3%. The concentration measurements were reproducible within a relative standard deviation of 1.0%. |
