Spectrophotometric Determination of Some Dibenzazepines

Abstract

Abstract Simple and sensitive method is proposed for determination of four di-benzazepine derivatives. The method is based on the oxidation of dibenzazepines by potassium dichromate in acid medium. The reaction was followed spectrophoto-metrically by measuring the rate of change in absorbance of the coloured products at 670 nm. Linear calibration graphs from 5-50 μg/ml of the final solutions are obtained for all the studied drugs. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of dibenzazepines in some commercial and laboratory prepared tablets. The results were compared statistically with those obtained by official procedures.
