Abstract A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrogen in Kjeldahl digest has been developed. The method is based on the reaction of ammonia with acetylacetone-formaldehyde reagent in aqueous medium to yield yellow 3,5-diacetyl- 1,4-dihydrolutidine with a characteristic absorption maxima at 412 nm. The effect of several experimental variables on the determination of nitrogen was studied. The method was suitable for determination of nitrogen in acidic medium without interference from the usual catalysts employed for the digestion in Kjeldahl method. Lambert-Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration range of 0.5-6.0 ng nitrogen/mL in the reaction mixture. The molar absorptivity in terms of nitrogen was 1.4 X 103L mol-1 cm-1. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation were ±0.0447 and ±0.896% (n = 10), respectively. The method is simple, rapid, and precise. A variety of carbocyclic and heterocyclic nitrogen compounds have been analyzed for nitrogen content. The results are comparable with those obtained by AOAC method, 47.021.

Simple, rapid and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method is presented for the determination of glibenclamide (Glb) based on the formation of ion-pair complex between the Glb and anionic dye, methyl orange (MO) at pH 4. The yellow colored complex formed was quantitatively extracted into dichloromethane and measured at 426 nm. The colored product obeyed Beer’s law in the concentration range of (0.5-40) μg.ml-1. The value of molar absorptivity obtained from Beer’s data was found to be 31122 L.mol-1.cm-1, Sandell’s sensitivity value was calculated to be 0.0159 μg.cm-2, while the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.1086 and 0.3292 μg.ml-1, respectively. The stoichiometry of the complex created between the Glb and MO was 1:1 as determined via Job’s method of continuous variation and mole ratio method. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation.

Recent study was conducted to develop a simple UV spectrophotometric method to determine Phenytoin in bulk and injection form according to official requirement and validate as per ICH guidelines. λmax of Phenytoin was found 202 nm. Linearity existed perceived in the concentration assortment 2-8 μg/ml (r2 = 0.999) for the method. The method was validated pertaining to linearity, precision and accuracy studies, LOD and LOQ consistent with ICH guidelines. The existent method was establish to be simple, linear, precise, accurate as well as sensitive and can be applied for routine quality control enquiry for the analysis of Phenytoin in bulk and injection form.
