Two methods for simultaneous determination of Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate by spectroscopy have been developed. First method is Simultaneous equation method and second method is Absorbance ratio Method. From a solvent effect studies and the spectral behaviours of Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, methanol was selected as solvent. Emtricitabine shows maximum absorbance at 281 nm and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate shows maximum absorbance at 259 nm. Linearity in concentration range of 6-48 µg/mL and 4-32 µg/ mL was shown for Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Emtricitabine, respectively. In the first method, the concentration of the drugs were determined by using simultaneous equation and in second method the concentration of drugs were determined by using ratio of absorbances at isoabsorptive point and at the ëmax of one of the drug. The results of analysis were validated statistically and by recovery studies. Tablet containing both drugs was assayed using the methods developed, showing a good accuracy and precision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
