Abstract

New simple sensitive spectrophotometric methods are developed for the estimation of Sulfadoxine (SFD) in pure and pharmaceutical formulations. The first method includes a conversion primary amine to azo-dye by reacting sulfadoxine with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid followed by coupling with4-methoxyphenol in alkaline medium to obtain a stable reddish-orange colored dye at λmax495nm. Concentration ranges 0.25-60 μg / mL, obeyed Beer's law, correlation coefficient was 0.9996, molar absorptivity was 0.589×104L.mol-1.cm-1 and the detection limit was 0.157μg/mL. The second method was cloud point extraction (CPE) for estimating trace amount in an aqueous solution that produced from diazotization and measuring with a UV-visible spectrophotometer as are reddish-purple colored product at λmax500 nm. The concentration range obeyed the Beer's law was 0.25-6μg / mL, correlation coefficient was 0.9998, molar absorptivity was 0.877×105L.mol-1.cm-1, detection limit was 0.023μg/mL, pre-concentration factor was 25 and Distribution coefficient(D) was 320.88. The last method was flow injection analysis it’s simple for estimation the sulfadoxine. The concentration range was1-150μg / mL, obeyed Beer's law,the correlation coefficient was 0.9997, molar absorptivity was 0.273×104L.mol-1.cm-1 and the detection limit was 0.375μg/mL. The offered methods were successful, useful for estimating sulfadoxine in traditional medications
