ABSTRACT
A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method in visible region
has been developed for the estimation of ambroxol hydrochloride in
bulk drug and in tables. In this method the free amino group of
ambroxol hydrochloride reacts with ninhydrin reagent in alkaline
medium to form a violet color chromogen which is determined
spectrophotometrically at 567 nm. The optimum experimental
condition for effect of heating, concentration of ninhydrin reagent and
buffers were determined. It obeyed the Beer’s law range 2-10μg/ml.
Percentage purity of drug in formulation by this proposed method was
found to be 99.60%. The proposed method was found to be simple,
accurate and precise method for routine estimation of ambroxol
hydrochloride in bulk and from tablet dosage form.
Keywords: Ambroxol hydrochloride, ninhydrin, spectrophotometric.
