Abstract

The objective of work was to develop and validate a UV spectrophotometric method for deferiprone in bulk and its dosage form. The solvent and wavelength of detection were optimized in order to maximize sensitivity of proposed method. The method was validated for different parameters like linearity, precision, specificity, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ) and robustness as per ICH guidelines (Q2). A wavelength maximum absorption of Deferiprone in 50% v/v ethanol was monitored at 278nm. The method was found to be linear in the range of 2 to 12μg/ml with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.999. The accuracy of the method was studied by recovery study and % recovery was found to be 101.07%. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.1808μg/ml and 0.547μg/ml respectively. The method is simple, accurate and requires relatively inexpensive instrument. The method was used successfully for determination of Deferiprone in bulk and its pharmaceutical dosage form.
