Novel First Order Derivative UV Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Glimepiride in Solid Dosage Forms
Objective: An easy, perfect, specific and exact process has been studied for the simultaneous estimation of Glimepiride pure drug form as well as tablet dosage forms. Methods: A UV method for quantitative evaluation of Glimepiride by first order derivative peak detect method for determination in bulk as well as tablet dosage form is reported as there was a need to expand novel methods to analyze the drug. Results: Glimepiride has absorbance first derivative maxima at 225 nm in Methanol. Glimepiride follows Beer’s law in concentration range of 5-25µg/ml. The outcomes of the study were validated statistically and recovery studies were performed as per ICH guide lines. Conclusion: Thus the projected method can be applied competently for the estimation of Glimepiride in regular analysis in its dosage forms.
