ABSTRACT

A simple, accurate, precise, rapid analytical methods for the estimation of Tasimelteon in bulk. The λmax of tasimelteon in acetonitrile and Double distill water (50:50) was found to be 225.0 nm. All five methods of UV-Spectrophotometry based upon Zero Order, First Order and Second Order derivative have been established considering amplitude and Area under curve of the spectrum. In all five method, Tasimelteon obeyed linearity in the concentration range of 4-20 μg/mL with correlation coefficient 0.999. All the methods were validated as per International conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. All these proposed methods were proved to be linear, accurate, precise and rugged and also adequately sensitive.

Keywords: Tasimelteon, Acetonitrile, UV-Visible spectroscopy.
