Objective: To develop and validate simple, definite, stability indicating UV spectroscopic method for determination of Agomelatine coated tablet and pharmaceutical formulations as per ICH Q2 R1 Guidelines. Methods: Agomelatine was subjected to different stress conditions as per ICH guideline Q1A (R2). A UV spectroscopic method is validated with different parameters such as linearity, Precision, Repeatability, Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ), Accuracy, Robustness, Ruggedness. It involved a 2-h study in which methanol were used as solvents. Results: Agomelatine in methanol shows maximum absorbance at 229 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0.2-1.0 mcg/mL. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.00271 mcg/ml and 0.0082 mcg/ml respectively. A recovery of Agomelatine in tablet formulation was observed in the range of 98.00-102.00%. Percentage assay of Agomelatine was found to be more than 99.93 %. Conclusion: The proposed method is definite, meticulous, reproducible and can be used for routine analysis of Agomelatine in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form.
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.
