Spectrophotometric analysis of fosinopril sodium in pure form and tablets

Abstract

Simple UV and third derivative spectrophotometric methods in methanol have been developed for the determination of fosinopril sodium in bulk drug and its pharmaceutical formulations. The simple UV spectrum of fosinopril sodium in methanol exhibits absorption maxima (λmax) at 208 nm, whereas in the third derivative spectrum the maxima occur at 217.4 nm and the minima at 223 nm. Both the methods were found to be simple, economical, accurate, reproducible and can be adopted in routine analysis of fosinopril sodium in bulk drug and in tablet dosage form.
