A simple, accurate, and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of Chloramphenicol (CAP) in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of Chloramphenicol after reducing the nitro group in the drug into an amino group with Naphthalene-1,5-diamine as a reagent in the presence of potassium Iodate as an oxidizing agent formed violet dye that is soluble in water and have a maximum absorption at 568nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 6-27㎍.mL-1 with a molar absorptivity of 0.4805×104 L.mol-1.cm-1, and Sandell's sensitivity was 0.061㎍.cm-2, respectively. The correlation coefficient was 0.9994, with recovery average % was 100.05. Detection limit (D.L) and quantitative limit (Q.L) were 0.241㎍.ml- 1 and 0.804 ㎍.ml -1. The product was stable for 70 minutes with relative error (RE) % of -0.12 to -0.22 and a relative standard deviation (RSD) % of 0.476 to 0.362. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of Chloramphenicol in pharmaceutical preparations (Eye drop).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
