Method development and validation for estimation of Gliclazide in bulk and tablet form by UV Spectrophotometer

Abstract

UV Spectrophotometric method has been developed to determine Gliclazide in bulk pure and tablet forms. It is a simple, accurate, reproducible, rapid and less time-consuming method. The maximum wavelength of the drug was found to be 232nm. Beer Lamberts’ law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2-20 µg/ml.  (LOD)The limit of detection and limit of qualification (LOQ) was found to be 0.16 µg/ml and 0.50 µg/ml from this method per cent recovery of the drug was found to be 99.30% which indicates no interaction of the excipients. This method was found accurate, simple, precise and rapid for determination of tablet dosage form. Keywords: validation, Gliclazide, tablets, UV Spectroscopy, LOD, LOQ
