Determination of Carteolol in Pure and Pharmaceutical Formulation by Spectrophotometric Method

Abstract

Malek Okdeh, Chahid Moustpha and Mohammad Shraitah

An accurate, simple, fast, and good sensitive Spectrophotometric method have been developed for the determination of Carteolol based on the formation of complex (ion-pair complexes) between the Carteolol (CRT) and Alizarin yellow R Sodium salt (AR) at pH=11.20. This reaction produces a complex red color which is absorbed maximally at 500 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 1.80-197.30 ug/mL with molar absorptivity of 1.7663×103 L mole-1cm-1. The effects of analytical parameters on the reported system were investigated. The results were validated statistically. The proposed method was applied to commercially available tablets. Interferences of the other ingredients and excipients were not observed.
