Spectrophotometric Determination of Certain Antimigraine Drugs in Pharmaceutical Formulations Using p-Chloranil Reagent; Application to Content Uniformity Testing
Abstract
AbstractA sensitive, simple and reliable spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of definite anti-migraine drugs namely; Almotriptan malate, Rizatriptan benzoate, Sumatriptan succinate and Zolmitriptan in their pharmaceutical preparations. The suggested procedure is based on charge transfer complexation of the cited antimigraine drugs with tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone (p-chloranil). The formed charge transfer complex was measured spectrophotometrically at 558 nm....
