Abstract

Two spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for measuring purified methyldopa (MeD) in pharmaceutical preparations (tablets). The first procedure relies on the diazo - coupling of methyldopa with diazotized p-Nitroaniline (D-PNA) in a basic medium in order to produce a stable and water-soluble azo dye with a colored pigment, measured at 610 nm. The calibration curve from 2 to 17 μg. mL-1 and the molar absorptivity value is 0.7223 x104 L.mol-1. cm-1. The LOD value was 0.0727 μg. mL-1and the LOQ value was 0.242 μg. mL-1 The second method based on the area under the curve between 596 to 622 nm. The calibration curve from 1 to 20 μg. mL-1 is more sensitive than first method and it has a molar absorptivity equal to 0.5470x104 L.mol-1. cm-1. The two methods gave good recovery, accuracy and precision that applied in assay of MeD in it is dosages the tablets from two drug companies.
