QUANTIFICATION OF METHIMAZOLE IN BULK DRUGS AND PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS USING MULTIVARIATE UV- VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC CALIBRATION Authors: Subarna B , KOKILAMBIGAI K. S* AND MANIKANDAN K
ABSTRACT
This study aims to establish an UV-Visible spectroscopic technique to develop an easy,
sensible, and reproducible method for Methimazole by applying a multivariate regression
equation. Recommended technique depends on the equation of the linear regression performed
by taking absorbance at five distinct wavelengths. Methimazole’s maximum absorbance value
was obtained at 252 nm. Graph obtained from concentration 35 - 65?g/mL resulted in linear
curve and the regression coefficient was obtained as 0.999. %RSD values for Intra-day, as well
as inter-day precision, was obtained as 0.3032 and 0.299. The assay value determined was
between 99.84% - 100.18% w/w.
