UV Spectrophotometric Method Development and Validation of Lignocaine Hydrochloride in Bulk and Semisolid Dosage Form
Objective: A new, simple, sensitive, precise and reproducible UV spectroscopic method was developed for the estimation of Lignocaine Hydrochloride in bulk and Semisolid Formulation. Methods: The UV spectrum of Lignocaine Hydrochloride in RO water showed λ max at 228.8nm. Beer’s law is valid in the concentration range of 20-100µg/ml. This method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, ruggedness and robustness. Results: The method has demonstrated excellent linearity over the range of 20-100µg/ml with regression equation y = 0.0097x + 0.023 and regression correlation coefficient r2= 0.9992. Moreover, the method was found to be highly sensitive with LOD (3.55μg/ml) and LOQ (10.75μg/ml). Conclusion: Depending on results the given method can be successfully applied for assay of Lignocaine Hydrochloride in Semisolid formulation.
