Determination of paracetamol and tramadol hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations using green UV method

الملخص EN

A simple, precise, and friendly environmental method for the determination of paracetamol and tramadol hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations has been worked out.

The method is based on the determination of paracetamol at 242 nm and replaces its concentration in a multicomponent system equation for determination of both paracetamol and tramadol at 227 nm.

Beer's law for paracetamol was obeyed over the concentration range 8-25 ppm at 242 nm and 4-16 ppm at 227 nm ,for tramadol it is obeyed over the range 2-14 ppm at 227 nm, water is used as a solvent for dissolution.

The method is applicable to the determination of paracetamol and tramadol in their pharmaceutical preparations without prior separation steps from excipients as well as for determination of paracetamol in the presence of tramadol.

The average recoveries for determination of mentioned drugs were 94.20-100.14 %, and the average relative standard deviation of the method was better than ± 0.646 %.
