Sensitive Spectrophotometric Method for Quantitation of Guaifenesin and Dropropizine in Their Dosage Forms

الملخص EN

Guaifenesin and dropropizine were analyzed through oxidation with periodic acid to give formaldehyde which was allowed to condense with 4-Amino-5-hydrazino-4H [1,2,4]-triazole-3-thiol (AHTT).

The condensation product was further oxidized to yield a purple colored compound with maximum absorption at 550 nm.

Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 5–45 μg mL−1 for guaifenesin and 10–80 μg mL−1 for dropropizine.

Both drugs were also successfully determined in their dosage forms.
