Online published on 2 June, 2018. Abstract A simple, rapid, accurate and economical UV-spectrophometric method has been developed for estimation of Luliconazole in bulk and formulation using area under curve (AUC) technique. The method applied was an area under curve (AUC) in which area under curve was integrated in the wavelength range of 279–305 nm. The λ max of Luliconazole in methanol was found to be 295 nm. The drug follows linear in the concentration range 318 μg/mL with correlation coefficient value 0.997. The proposed method was applied for qualitative and quantitative estimation of Luliconazole in pharmaceutical formulation and results were found in good agreement with the label claimed. This developed method can be used for routine analysis of Luliconazole in bulk and formulation. Top Keywords Luliconazole, UV-Spectrophotometry, Area under Curve, Validation, ICH guideline. Top |
