ABSTRACT

A simple, precise, accurate, economical and reliable UV spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of Naltrexone in bulk and its tablet dosage form. The drug shows maximum absorption (λmax) at 232 nm in methanol and acetonitrile and obeys Beer‟s law in the concentration range of 10-50 μg/ml with correlation coefficient (R2=0.999). The accuracy was found to be 99.37-100.05 %. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 1.163μg/ml and 3.526μg/ml respectively. The relative standard deviation was found to be
