Abstract

A derivative ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometric method for the determination of piroxicam in piroxicam--beta-cyclodextrin tablets was developed. Phosphate buffer (pH 7.8, 0.1 M) and ethanol were used as a solvent system throughout the study. In this study, determination of piroxicam was conducted by using first order derivative amplitudes at 261.4 nm (n=4). Standards for the calibration graph ranging from 2.40 to 20.0 microg/ml were prepared from working standard. The proposed method is accurate with 99.70%+/-0.50 recovery value and precise with coefficient of variation (CV) of 1.29. The results were compared with those obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure. A reversed-phase C(18) column with aqueous phosphate buffer:methanol, 60:40, v/v, mobile phase was used. UV detector was set at 254 nm. Calibration solutions used in HPLC were ranging from 5 to 20 microg/ml. Results obtained in HPLC were comparable to those obtained by derivative UV spectrophotometric method.
